When I was at university there was a charity hitchhike every year. How far you could get in a weekend. Someone got to the south of France.

In a weekend is impressive

On reflection I can’t think how they stopped cheating.

Ah begging strangers to buy bus tickets, ending up at the job centre (?!?) aka the embarrassment leg

Not sure if there would be a way around it or there’s some kind of visa they could apply for that would make it feasible, but Russia’s visa system is very awkward in my experience - you have to know the exact dates you are in the country, where you’re staying, get a letter of invitation etc

Norway or Finland to Cape Town could work though? that would be awesome!

I was a bit confused by that bit in the jobcentre because the way it was edited seemed to imply that you needed a work permit.

my interpretation was that they went looking for some quick bar work for a few hours, the language barrier meant the cafe staff thought they were looking to register for ‘proper’ work and sent them to a job centre. jen whinged.

Sure that’s already been done in numerous comedy travel books. Tony Hawks must have done it at some point

Emon and Jamiul at the barbers, trying to get in punters by shouting I WANT A HAIRCUT at them, god I love them. I need Emon to do some more of his shit magic before this ends. Jen and Rob ought to win this with their vast reserves of cash, mum and son appear to have given up, really hope the lads do it though

But the real race was the sandwiches they ate along the way.

hope she leaves the boy on a farm FFS

I’m not going to lie: I love them both. The devotion they clearly have to each other is inspiring.

Plus I’m sure he’d be pretty pleased about being left on a farm, as long as he was sure she got home safely.

Do think they have different options in Subway in South America?

Jen is gonna win eh. Just like last season, the least likeable ones win by being unlikeable and boring in their approach

Can’t believe people still think they’re the least likeable ones when the brother and sister exist

They’re dull and whiny as a pair, it’s the imbalance of the dynamic with Jen and Rob that is so unlikeable.

Trying to get other people to buy them bus tickets!! And not even trying to pretend it was for any reason other than that they were spoiled by their parents. Fuckin hell.
