I don't think Harry came across badly, just human.

I don't trust anyone who is smiley and nice all the time.

I am however going to write to the BBC to complain, they have harry topless and don't get a gratuitous frontal shot and instead have him hidden behind a chair 🤣

I know - I was incensed by the lack of shirtless frontal, although he does have a lovely strong back.
The whole Mel disappearing thing was a bit odd - it was either some kind of set up or there was a lot more to it that we didn’t see.
 
My mum is the same age as Harry's and she'd be the one dragging me around 🙈😂 she's super fit and competitive though so I know not everyone is like that and Harry's mum seems to struggle to walk at times bless her. Just goes to show how people have different abilities and stamina despite being the same age.

I definitely want Billy and Bonnie to win. I used to like Mel in her all saints days but I don't think she's coming across very well in this. Her mum is lovely though.
 
I’d like Billy and Bonnie to win but have warmed to Alex. His Dad clearly knows what he’s like and has tried to get him out of himself. He does seem altered.
I agree that Harry seems to be dragging his Mum around but surely Mel’s Mum is older? I really don’t want Mel to win as she seems exactly the same as when she arrived. She has a child around 20 but acts like a teenager.
The train thing didn’t seem contrived to me, it looked like Helene was really pissed off and they cut it.
 
I like Mel. She mentioned being used to luxuries in the first episode and her mum seems to have used that to criticise her as well everyone else. I don’t know if Mel still earns any money from All Saints music now, but it suggests that she invested it well if it is still sustaining her now. People are behaving like she is Gemma Collins or something! She seems to have quite low self esteem, but people are too busy criticising her for flying first class which the rest of them probably do.
Billy and Bonnie are the obvious choice to win because of his disability. They seemed to live a privileged life before his accident, but his attitude to such a life altering injury is admirable.
I’m not bothered about who wins, it’s just interesting to see the different tactics and methods they all use.

I agree I like Mel too. And I liked how chilled out, almost blasé, she and her mum were for the final leg!
