As Billie and Bonnie weren’t going to win, I was happy whoever it was going to be, I really love Alex’s dad, you had to rate Harry’s determination and credit Mel and mum for taking the cheaper route in order to at least get to the finish.

Do you think they were given new clothes at each checkpoint? I know in the non-celeb version they can use the laundry facilities but you see them wearing the same stuff, whereas each week they seem to have an entire new wardrobe even down to their coats!

I think with this one they had to have been given new clothes, otherwise their whole bags from the outset would have been taken up with winter stuff for Norway!
 
I also wonder if it’s like the classic Races and they are just told the start, if that was the case they wouldn’t have packed cold stuff necessarily, certainly not the heavy heavy arctic circle jobs.

In other news I’ve decided I need a new winter coat as have full length down envy
 
I really enjoyed this series…didn’t think I would with it being celebs. Like the rest of you I wanted B&B to win as his spirit is just amazing considering the pain he must have been in at times.

Found Alex a bit of a nause throughout but warmed to him and loved his dad. Was v emotional when they waited for B&B that episode…I’d like to think that gave them the good karma to win it!

Do it. I've now got two and they're amazing.

Both my partner and I lost interest after the announcement at the beginning of the last episode. We were really rooting for them.

I did admire the DGAF attitude of Mel and Helene. I didn't warm to Harry or Alex at all.

Yeah, same. Once they had left, I no longer cared and just got the spoiler from here for who won. I was so rooting for Billy and Bonnie.
 
Thought I’d seen a photo/screenshot of the sign in book somewhere but this is all I can find now x

A second celebrity series has already been announced.

That’s it now isn’t it, it will always be celebs. What a shame. As far as celebrity shows go it wasn’t bad but why not give non-celebs the opportunity? Why not alternate series? I like seeing ordinary people on these shows.

That article doesn't say they are stopping the normal one?

No that’s just my thoughts with them doing two celeb series in a row. I’m not convinced they will go back to a non-celeb one. Happy if they do but will have to wait and see.
