[TV] Race across the world

[drew]

And there was me thinking that the Welsh couple from Wales might be binning the race soon because she isn't mature enough to handle a crowded city.

Really? Nothing to do with maturity, some people just can't stand the hubbub of city life. And maybe she knew that and still put herself forward to face that!

Even at 18 it isn't easy, her first time in a mad crowded city, many thousands of miles from home, where not many people speak English.

Good job they don’t only speak Welsh! I went to a talk by Nigel Owens last year and he said he only spoke Welsh until some really late age, probably late teens from memory!

Are you suggesting that where they are isn't like a small village in Wales? I'm surprised they haven't thought to say so themselves....

Just caught up with this week’s episode, thank goodness I’m not alone in being irritated as hell by the Welsh teenagers

Whilst you're sneering and looking down your nose at them, might be worth asking how much of life outside Wales they've previously experienced and how far out of their comfort zone they might find themselves.

Personally I think they're doing very well.

I was enjoying this series as with all other (non celeb) series until it became apparent that there had been some piss-poor planning of the route and all the competitors had to board a plane mid-trip.

Defeats the object doesn't it? And MORE (unnecessary) plane travel is hardly what the world needs.

I'm quite sad that the ex-married couple have been knocked out as I found their back story really interesting.

By that token, I would then ask what exactly it is they thought they were signing up for. Race Across the World from Holyhead to Bristol would be rubbish.

If they just wanted to be on telly then let them go and do Love Island or Big Brother or something.

Harsh, they are pushing themselves out of their comfort zones, and l applaud them for it.

More sneering

One of my colleagues lives in Cardiff and their kids play cricket at a decent level. Apparently whenever they get drawn against against a team in North Wales, the logistics are so difficult that often the game ends up getting forfeited. So a trip from Holyhead to Bristol would probably be a bit too difficult to cover in Race Across the World, better to stick with countries where the transport infrastructure is a bit more developed!!
