Alex is campaigning to get on IAC :skull:

They really should adapt the Amazing Race format... it's so much better

One strange thing about it was how they brushed over various dictatorship issues, like China and Thailand even when it seemed to come up in the program. Such as no camerawork allowed in a re-education camp area or people only allowed to have their dogs walked around some small field.

But the you know who ladies would have a public meltdown if they increased the competitive element

oh that's true :laugh:

I'm currently watching season 24 and if the they saw what Brenchal did to the father and son they would phone ofcom:laugh:

I wonder if this means two series per year or just that it's been ordered for two more series in general

As well as the S2 and S3 for BBC2, BBC1 have ordered a celebrity edition.

This show is far better than the amazing race in my opinion.

Series 1 > Series 2

I don't like this show.

It is so set up and fake, with them just happening to find well paid work as they go along. and that work conveniently wasting their time so other teams can past them and then the next episode vice versa so that they are all on top of each other the entire trip
They are clearly told what they have to do and where they should go throughout the trip.
I wouldn't care if the BBC didn't try and make it appear authentic.

I managed to watch the whole of series 2, but only out of the enjoyment of having done a similar but much more adventurous trip in that region myself.

Also the people who won series 2 are cheats!
They sold their belongings such as earphones and other **** to win at the last minute.
They therefore didnt make it between point a and b for the price of the airfare + money earned by working local jobs.
A clear rule break and very unfortunate for both the 2nd and 3rd teams.

The series 3 people should bring watches and an iphone and sell it when they need more money.
