Race Across the World

Love this show. Having travelled in Asia (series 1) and lived in South America (series 2) I find this show particularly interesting recognising many of the places they pass through and with similar experiences and nightmarish journeys. A great cross section of participants each with their own backstory which is gradually revealed throughout the series. Looking forward to the next series assuming they can find another difficult challenge. It wouldn't be the same not travelling through 3rd world or unstable & unpredictable countries.

Real people, real emotions, amazing places, great scenery and people, the pressure of the competition, relationships being tested ...it has everything, fantastic show. Can't wait for the next season!!

When it's good, its great but there's a hell of a lot of back (and sob) story repeated over and over again. Totally unnecessary. Really doesn't need a presenter and should stick to current format.

Really easy viewing for all the family and a nice escape from the world's troubles right now! They pick great characters and I hope they keep making more of them.

What I always wished reality shows like Amazing Race were like, a real race without the games or collusion or host getting in the way. Who can think on their feet, navigate an unknown country, communicate without language, and strategize over maps and transportation connections? The twist is, without modern technology, which was really only 10 years ago when we didn't have smart phones, had to use sketchy internet cafes or better yet, rely on helpful (and sometimes not) strangers. To round it out, a narrator keeps the viewer focused and shares just enough entertaining historical or current events about the different locations the teams visit to bring fun, hope, thrill and compassion to the show.
