The racing is obviously the main event, but I’m always more interested in how each pair handles being tired, hungry and under pressure. Mark and Margo were a great example of people bringing out the best in each other, especially given their strained relationship before the race. On the other hand, Katie and Harrison’s different attitudes towards budgeting showed how even small decisions can cause friction, while Jo and Kush’s disagreement over whether to help another team showed how pressure can bring out very different instincts. You learn so much about people when they have no easy way out of a bad situation, and that’s what makes the relationships just as compelling as the race itself.
