Watching on catch up. After the first 10 mins Jen has annoyed me to breaking point. She is just a spoilt idiot - keep your money until the last week and then spend it on going fast you silly woman, there are no prizes for coming first on the penultimate leg!
And the less said about how she treats Rob, the better - I really can't see how they ever got married!

As has been said, I can't see their marriage lasting. It's a bit like trying for a baby to keep the marriage together. Rob seems such a lovely bloke who has had to come to terms with a dreadful handicap in his life, She married the handsome lad that he was/still is but can't be doing with his handicap. At least that seems to be what's coming over in the editing of this programme......
Dom and Lizzie made up 15 hours, but hard to see them catching up 9.
Not hard at all - they have quite a bit more money than Emon & Jamiul. All the teams will have to work, but the ones with slightly more money have a massive advantage, and I suspect the bus connections will be less frequent on the last leg given where they are going. Maybe they'll manage to hitchhike again as well. Given the nature of the last leg, 9 hours is nothing.
I think the spoiler is now obvious sadly, as I suspected.
After tonight's episode I want Dom & Lizzie to win - they've both matured a lot in the last few legs and I really like them as a team now, despite the odd inevitable bit of brother and sister angst. I think winning would do them a lot of good.
I like Rob but I really dislike Jen so I would much prefer any of the other teams winning.
I so love this series around, great teams with great connections. Yes Jen seems spoilt but beneath that she loves Rob. My fav are Dom and Lizzie and so glad they are now only 9 hours behind. Gutted last episode next week and with the coronavirus next years I think will be delayed This series could easily be prime time on BBC1

Without question Jen and Rob are my favourites. Particularly Jen with the knowledge that social media always has to have someone to hate, and its her at the moment. I personally see her as funny but also driven. Wanting to physically assualt her seem completely over the top based on a cut on a tv show. Remember these are normal people with normal jobs. Not who ever it is you hate this week.
I’m not really fussed who wins. Whoever comes first deserves it when you consider the ups and downs they’ve all had to master. Their relationships are all different and I think the uncle/nephew twosome is the most harmonious. Jo has indulged Sam all the way with his expensive aircon buses/ haircut/ constant food cravings. But there again, theirs is about the journey more than winning the actual race. And from that point of view I think they’ve certainly won in their own way. The other two couples have to deal with much more bickering and temporarily falling out which just adds stress to their particular journey so it’ll be interesting to see if it’s a harmonious or disharmonious team that can win.
I'm thinking back to series one where we ended up with teams of 2 girls, 2 guys, father and son, and elderly couple (winners). In actual fact they were all winners for what they achieved, the most obvious being the father and son - that was a lovely emotional journey they embarked on.
I would actually love to see a catch up programme on those contestant now to see how they feel about their race, and how it changed their lives, to have cut off so abruptly after the finish left (I'm sure) many of us wanting more on what did they do next?
The BBC have time now to find them all and get their thoughts in to make a 'lockdown' programme including snips from that series. I missed them all when last series finished, I'll miss this lot to, you do become involved in what they are doing, and the final cut off can feel like you have lost a friend. - - - - Or maybe I just have Lockdown Fever after 39 days. #boredsillynow
I’m rooting for the uncle and nephew now for the win 🤞 Brother & sister are spoilt kids who mummy & daddy will keep them financially and Rob and Jen … well she just annoys me🙄. Don’t think Jo & Sam will finish … but they have had an adventure/ experience and probably got the most out of it !
Hardly their faults though, and they don't come across as rich spoilt brats.
They do to me, I'm afraid.
Spend so much time moaning about their imagined misfortunes, while two other couples have to contend with the issues surrounding one member's disabilities..

Did you watch last night's episode? They were talking about precisely that they recognise how privileged they are. They are young siblings trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives and undertaking an entirely new experience, so bickering and moaning is inevitable to an extent (and Rob & Jen have ticketed just as much!). Their situation is very different to the couples dealing with disabilities, so I'm not sure there's much to be gained from trying to make a direct comparison.
Does their behaviour get a bit much at times? Of course, but they are still a bit immature compared to the others. They are not even close to rich spoilt brat territory for me, and I've come across that type before.
Just know Jen & Rob are gonna win, every single British game show/reality I watch I never like the winners. So it has to be them, be nice to be surprised though. Great series be sad to see it finish. Love the mom and son in this.

Some people have selective hearing. I think this experience will benefit them the most, and would have learnt a lot.

I'm hoping Emon & Jamiul win now (I thought it would be Sam & Jo all along). I just can't take to Jen and her treatment of Rob (and the blame of his disability on everything). I thought Lizzie and Dom's relationship became stronger over the last leg, they seemed to have put their difficulties behind them and bonded.
I'm going to be gutted when this finishes, it's by far the best thing on TV during lockdown, with this and Homeland both finishing in two weeks there will be a big hole in my Sunday evening entertainment.

Me too. As for Homeland, I stopped watching that when Damian Lewis left (vertically).

And the less said about how she treats Rob, the better - I really can't see how they ever got married!

Jo's voice could be heard at the end. Emon & Jamiul were in the trailer, running.
I think it must be - the BBC episode guide for next week makes it clear the race finishes.
I'll be glad if there is a catch up episode - that was the main flaw with last year's series as it ended so abruptly!
The spoilers say
I think it is blindly obvious who that will be I'm afraid. Everything in this episode and the trailer gave it away.
It's not the last episode next week, but probably the end of the race...

season 2 starts tonight
Not a chance given some of the "celebs" they've chosen to cast!
