Agree, those young lads are very annoying.
I might write to the BBC “points of view style” and ask if they can make one where they start in London and end up in Australia so I’ve always got episodes to watch. Such a great show and they do an amazing job with the filming.

My thoughts on the new series so far:
• Pleased they have ditched the overly long intro to each episode with recap of journey so far
• Also dropped the whole 'can you go from X to X overland for the cost of the airfare' from the intro*
• The total budget seemed quite low considering the journey is scheduled to take around 50 days and they have to pay for food, drinks, accommodation and travel for that time (apart from the stopovers at each checkpoint). Something around £1400-1500 including a week in Japan and a couple of days in South Korea.
• Assuming the restricted budget and starting in the most expensive country explains why they all burned a large chunk in week one.
• Wonder if the producers are restricting the budget to ensure they have to slow down and work along the way, as these are often the more heartwarming and interesting parts, compared to contestants trying to sleep on overnight buses and missing chunks of the countries they are passing through
*perhaps the comment earlier in the thread about a possible flight over China is why they've dropped that bit...

Due to the edited highlights bit they show at the beginning of every episode, it's clear who drops out this week as the last to finish this next leg is eliminated.

It’s for charity right? Do you think they’d consider auctioning off Kelly Brooke’s solo pair of underwear after the show?
Just asking for a friend.

Is the Scott Mills the Scott Mills from the radio ? If so I will struggle to like him.

Who? It's basically like a non celebrity version of the show.
