5 pairs compete to get from A to B with a limited budget and no Phone and can't fly.
This years competition started in Mexico City and they will eventually get Ushuaia (Argentina)the southern most city in the world.
Started watching on catch up after reading this post. Really enjoying it. The final leg next week wouldn’t want to predict the outcome. Jen and Rob despite a 6 hour deficit still have 24% of their budget left so they have to be strong contenders. Some wonderful scenery on offer.
Think that was before last nights leg and Jen & Rob are now 2 hours in front of Emon & Jamuil.
Dom & Lizzie are 9 hours behind not sure how the budgets stack up now it never said last night.
Jo & Sam bit the dust as are stuck on some Gaucho ranch with no money.

I said to Mrs SW last night that as soon as Emon & Jamuil went via Uruguay to get jobs to help the budget they had blobbed, most expensive country in South America. Was right it cost them more than they earned on top of the lost time.
Credit to Dom & Lizzie for closing the gap, would be leading if Dom hadn't lost 24hours earlier in the race when he collapsed.

Length of Argentina next week to get the winner, looking forward to it.

Inspired by this Mrs SW & myself are planning to tour Peru (+Bolivia) under our own steam rather than with a tour company once the Covid19 is done and dusted. Probably next year but we've been researching a few future holidays and the list is growing.

Monsoon is the key word in each title.
One episode was called The Wonders Of The Monsoon I think, while another was something like The Power Of The Monsoon.

If you type the word Monsoon into the iPlayer search facility it should come up.

Sky comedy. Something called Pen15. It had the other half LOL on numerous occasions. Its about the trials and tribulations of 2 teenage girls. No kids myself but still found it funny in places.
