Race Across The World - New BBC Reality Gameshow

[FetchFugly]

Ouch. Some dispiriting timing too.

 

[NatAlex Gordienko]

Yikes, 26 hours behind 4th place?

Nooo we can't lose Yin. Mother and Son to go please

 

[lolly]

I'm enjoying the poor brother with his rucksack full of travel gadgets. I think we've had money belts, hands free head torches and travel pillows already.

 

[lolly]

Yin and Gaz just have too interesting a dynamic to leave this soon. Caroline and Tom don't really offer any new take on a parent child relationship, so I'd favour them as well. Surprised how much I'm enjoying the brothers.

 

[FetchFugly]

Yes Caroline and Tom feel the least essential at this point.

Some self inflicted calamities this week.

Did production step in there with the unexpected cash exchange ?

The young man looked bordering on the terrified.

 

[lolly]

They are desperately trying to manufacture some tension at the end here, aren't they? Just how many thousand km away are Yin and Gaz?

 

[lolly]

Genuinely quite gutted

 

[FetchFugly]

The running around like headless chickens bit was quite amusing.

Poor Yin and Gaz, doomed anyway but then apparently sent in entirely the wrong direction just to top it all off. The way they just leave them mid-leg just feels so sad

 

[big ron]

Proper gutted for then but when they are happily remarried it’ll have been worth it

 

[lolly]

I'm not sure I do want them to remarry necessarily

I'd just like them to have a mid morning chat show together

 

[lolly]

OH yeah, they seem to have a sweet relationship, and all existence is suffering and all that, but I bet her life as a posho mother wasn't really THAT gruelling. Bet they had HELP.

I enjoyed her reference to 'looking after the animals'. I think we might be talking paddocks and stables here

Eat the rich.

 

[Finnland]

Maybe it's coming later in the series, but them pushing her as some shut-in housewife who's given up on doing anything for herself in favour of raising her kids, with NO MENTION of her winning pony competitions, is quite the choice
