same!I’m evil but I was absolutely pissing myself when the two women ran all down those stairs then had to go back again.
I really want the couple to win, they’re lovely.

bit of a meh episode this seek. Still glad to see Zainab in the lead tho and not too sorry to see boring father/daughter act go.
We were going to apply for this years but it turns out we'll be on holiday when they're filming (eight weeks sometime between September and November)

Well I feel sorry for the daughter, but her dad was a tit. I don't care for the two "old ladies" (who are my age but seem about 10 years older), but I'd be quite happy with either of the other two winning.
I'm wondering if Zainib just intentionally never mentions her autism, or if she's genuinely undiagnosed.

Best part of final episode Cathies epiphany by the lake and going home to cutting her working hours

It wasn't meant as a dig, I think she's wonderful too (as is my ASD son). It was just this moment when she admitted that she sees her partner more as an extension of herself than as a separate entity that made me think it. I mean, not just that alone but it was the "aha" moment I thought. I think the crowd over in the special needs thread would recognise a lot of traits going on there. She masks well, but it slips when she's tired. I think if we'd seen more of the brothers, there might have been a bit of it in the Xbox-loving one.
Enjoyed it, it's very much a show where it doesn't matter who wins - even if irritating dad won, I'd be happy for his daughter. I'm not pleased to see a "Celebrity" version coming our way because I thought it being normal people was part of the draw.
I liked the after-show bit - "We thought you were a couple!" Well so did I, given how bossy her mate is.

Race Across the World: Cathie and Tricia's special friendship
Childhood friends Cathie and Tricia exchanged barely a cross word on their 9,942-mile adventure.

I doubt they have to stop the timer - they are expected to take 8 weeks or so to do it. Certainly there's a monstrous amount of footage that goes unaired. There was the bit where they were on the ferry in Toronto that I couldn't fathom because they were talking about Niagara Falls. But then in the after show there was footage of the two of them working the funfair on the Toronto islands that was presumably too boring to put in the show. I'm sure the working bits are all arranged well ahead of time, of course. Those businesses don't want a visit from HMRC about their undocumented employees, after all.

They are given booklets with the “jobs” they can do along the way. These are prearranged, but pencilled in. Depending on routes taken and funds, the contestant will no doubt tell the production team “we’ll do the fake pulling down a rotten shed job”. This earns them money but loses them time. That’s part of the calculation.
The production team will then phone ahead.

I don’t think very much TV is “just allowed to happen organically”. That would lead to far more unusable footage than they already get.

Hmm, the two mothers and daughters look okay, not sure about the rest yet. The husband looks particularly annoying.
Oddly, the Beeb episode guide has the next episode bring from Nara to Sokcho, S Korea. But the third leg starts in Hanoi and goes to Phnom Pen.
