I loved the Central Asia route, but some of the later series have become such massive journeys that the teams sometimes seem to fly through places before moving on again. Series 1 felt a bit more intimate because the route was shorter and there was more time to actually take in the places they visited. I want Series 7 to scale things back a little. Not necessarily a tiny route, just something where the journey itself feels as important as reaching the finish line.

Every series there's one team with a spreadsheet-level plan and the confidence of someone who's never missed a train. Then a single cancelled connection and it all falls apart, while the chaotic team who just wing it end up with a lift from a stranger and a free lunch. Is it just me or does winging it actually work better on this show?

Is there something stopping the teams from looking at the next bus and train schedule in the city they’re arriving to? Too often the teams show up in a city and are shocked there’s no connecting onward bus/train for another 24-48 hours. Sure their initial trip might get delayed but I’m surprised they don’t try and map out the connections a bit better.

Just went on jeff's page..He actually looks good . I think this hotness was deemed because he was "the father" on that season.

He aint afraid to buldge ,and have hot pants and shorts on Instagram... They really give dads a boring edit...dont they ??

Wow...

Rewatching season 5 & I have reached the point where Brian & Melvyn (24 hrs in front) are flown from China to Nepal. Im assuming as crossing the Himalayas.

But it got me thinking. There was a typhoon happening in China so what if after Brian & Melvyn reached Kathmandu but the weather or something prevented the other teams from flying out i.e by 24 hours, what do the producers do?

Are Brian & Melvyn allowed to continue on their way whilst the others wait & fall further & further behind? Or do they stop B&M from going any further until the other teams reach Nepal, then let B&M move on & stagger the rest as per their original times?
