Race Across the World will pit pairs of travellers against each other in a race to reach the Far East without taking a single flight, with no smartphone in sight. Each contestant will only have the cash equivalent of an air fare to their destination to pay for their overland travel. If they run out, they'll need to earn more.

I was so happy that
I was so happy for the winners, I was rooting for them since the beginning, all the teams raced well! Seemed like there were fewer times they all had to work for money or boarding.
Four episodes in, this year I am favoring the Mother/Son team. I really like this show when contestants talk about vulnerable topics in their lives.
