Beijing Express, The route of legendary tribes : the candidates in shock upon learning the instructions for the first race
All the pairs disembarked from a tourist plane on the red lands of Tanzania, except Ludovic who maintained the suspense before meeting his partner on site. Indeed, with Moâde, this year they form a pair of unknowns, like Ryad and Louison during season 18. Once the presentations were made, Stéphane Rotenberg announced the rules of this very first race. “You are missing an essential accessory, your famous red backpack. You will find him later, he is a little further down the road. For now, you will travel with your suitcase.”announced the host to the stunned gaze of the candidates. The pairs had to set off on a 4 kilometer trek, but before that they had to gather all their belongings scattered on the ground and put them together. “You will have to repack your suitcase by adding an essential accessory for today’s race: an air mattress.added Stéphane Rotenberg.
Beijing Express, The route of legendary tribes : Esméralda put in difficulty from the start of the race
The instructions put several pairs in difficulty, but those who were traveling light like Max and Hélène were quickly able to leave with their backpack. Unlike them, Esmeralda had packed her suitcase way too much: “I wonder why I took all this bullshit, I hate myself”said the Belgian in front of her hair extensions, makeup, and clothes spread out on the floor. “We had everything organized. Clearly, I’m upset,” reacted Amandine, who came with her twin sister. Large suitcases may well penalize the pairs who will have to carry them on this 4 km trek!
