Ah knar, he’s only a bit corned beef man
I would have kipped on the boat and told them all to fuck off! There’s a reason why they were the only passengers and there was about 3 crew grinning awayThe fuckers don't even live there (apparently) and they pretty much robbed me and the travel partner blind.Shameless.
Can't stand Jen, she is awful.

Is it on tonight ?? Still not sure who I want to win. However it’s not a race really as they keep stopping to look at the sights. Plus in a race people always look for ways to cheat/bend the rules. They are observed of course by unit director , sound , camera, medic, translater, local contact etc etc I bet there is the couple and a team of 30 following them in a Range Rover

Let them self-film, give them a short course on best angles etc, send them off in pairs sans backup crew, would make it far more realistic, I tried to come back overland from Hong Kong solo, always things happening on such a trip.
It would be pretty shit if they had to do it that way imo.

Lot less restrictive than having a crew tag along, you move faster and have way more flexibility and freedom covering a country solo.
Its essential a travelogue. People only watch to see the stunning scenery and them moments of tension between the teams. You wont get that if you are expecting them to do there own camera work

Oh, I was looking at it from a race perspective

It’s like most British tv - very well done but by god when you are involved it takes ages and you have no idea what’s going on. All of a sudden a light goes on there’s some shouting then light off and loads of people move somewhere else and so it goes on for hours and hours.
Nee one would go to a donkey sanctuary during a race - imagine Lewis Hamilton leading the British GP then stopping to go brass rubbing at a local church before returning to find quel surprise - someone else is in the lead now!!!Oh, I was looking at it from a race perspective

You give the teams any decent equipment and if hazard a guess it would get lifted within a day or two by some locals

Depends on the team
gullibles travels I suppose for some folks.
It's a race on a budget. The money they have is as important as the speed of travel.

Just a couple of crew with them and a couple more in support following a bit further behind apparently. Would love to do this sort of thing, the mam and her son to win it for me.
On now.
Bloody hell, it's David Blaine!
Can't stand them me. He's like a spoilt brat all the time and she just panders to him. "Can't work because people might look at me" so she works and earns the money.
"I'm hungry but we've not got any money" so he eats 3 meals and she goes without.
Hope the two Asian lads win, they're by far the most likeable.
Iguazu Falls is amazing!
