Race Across the World fans rage that couple should QUIT BBC show after ‘ridiculous’ splurge
RACE Across the World fans have raged that a couple should QUIT the show after a ‘ridiculous’ splurge.
The popular BBC One series continued last night with its latest instalment.
It sees contestants take on the challenge of completely a journey through multiple countries, with the first team there declared the winners.
They’re not able to have their smartphones and have to ditch their credit cards for the race.
During the latest episode the teams were tasked with making it to Montreal.
However, Kevin and Claudia were given some unsettling news.
The father and daughter duo were told hotel prices had increased due to the Formula One Grand Prix.
It left the pair struggling to find affordable accommodation for the night.
After disembarking the train, Claudia said: “It’s dark, it’s raining. We’ve got no money and we’re trying to find accommodation with no phone. So, not ideal.”
They were then left with no choice but to fork out a whopping $513.17 for a room in a hotel.
Kevin said handing over the cash had “destroyed us” as the room had costed them half of their budget.
But the scenes left viewers at home furious with the pair and called for them to quit the show.
One said: “7 per cent budget remaining? Kev and Claudia may as well call it a day.”
A second commented: “Surely its over for Claudia and Kevin, HALF the budget for a hotel!”
“Claudia and Kevin deserve to go out I’m sorry, he’s been so stupid spending this budget, spending ridiculous money on hotels and taxis,” said a third.
While a fourth posted: “$500 on hotel for the night. Think I’d have just slept on a bench. Kevin and Claudia are f***ed.”
Race Across the World continues on BBC One and iPlayer.
