An edition that takes place only in India with seven emblematic pairs.We had already been to India but it’s true that it had been a long time since we had been back there and to destabilize the pairs who already know the race, it’s a great country.

Angie (season 17) especially remembers having difficulty making herself understood: “I thought I knew how to speak English but I think we don’t all speak English the same way actually. We don’t make ourselves understood in the same way, sometimes it’s complicated.“
