Race Across The World 2026

[LindorDoubleChoc]

Hooray!

This is back for another series, starting Thursday.

I just googled very quickly and they set off from Sicily and end the race in northern Mongolia - sounds interesting.

I don't know anything else about it at this point, but thought that we should have a thread ready and waiting.

Kush has had a tough life.

Did Joe and Kush work on that home stay?

Loving this episode. I like all teams.

Oh mate. Ram’s head.

All the locals seem really welcoming in this episode

I like goat stew but not sure if I could cope if its head was served on a platter like that.

For a moment I thought they were going to insist Margo ate the choice bit, the eye…..

Margo’s new coat is beautiful.

How amazing is that jacket they gave Mark.

edit: and Margo.

As an introvert, I don’t think I could cope with the forced socialisation in random peoples homes!

Aye Aye Kush!

See, it’s because that Grandma fed him up on the train. Then he pulls.

Good for Mark eating all that 'meat' without flinching. I'm not sure Margo could have eaten horse.
Locals are so welcoming and kind.

TBF, I think you'd be sifted out by the production before it got that far.

I knew Kush and Jo would get female attention.

this party looks epic. And Kush and Jo look like they’re having the time of their lives

Such lovely people on this leg

Oh there’s loads of reasons why I love watching but would never apply @SwedishEdith

The times of arrival are much closer together than recent legs. Katie & Harrison did very well to come first

🤣
Granny knows best!

I loved the places and the people on that leg but would never be brave enough to go there

I think this might be one of the best series. The cities this week have been so beautiful, I had no idea. I like everyone but I still want the boys to win.

Me too

It didn't recap where there budgets were at. I wonder if Kush getting upset next week is due to not wanting to stop but knowing they might run out of money?

What a fantastic fantastic episode!!!!!

It's back to being amazing!!!

I absolutely loved the interactions and banter between each pair!!!

Margo and her voddy breakfast. Harrison used to be really boring. 🤣🤣🤣 Kush pulling!!!

This episode rates as one of the best ever!

I'm so glad they've got the show back on track. 🪅🥳🪅🥳🪅

The homes and the parties were amazing, and the people were lovely. I would hate to live in that landscape though, and I couldn't have eaten the meal they gave Mark and Margo.

My heart broke for Kush, he's so young to have lost 2 dads.

When Molly was getting weepy I thought her period is due and she's hungry because I used to be just like that. I bet she cheered up after something to eat.
