Beijing Express, Constantino Della Gradesca returns. Independents eliminated

“You have to get used to it because we say everything twice so that maybe you won’t get lost anymore.” The eighth episode of Pechino Express (a Sky Original produced by Banijay Italia, broadcast every Thursday on Sky Uno and on NOW) sees in its finale the return of its historical leader Costantino della Gherardesca, who, dressed as Emir Arabic, announces another novelty of this edition: hosting with “replacement” Enzo Miccio.

Departure, in the ruins of Petra

The wedding planner, in his fourth episode as captain, was the second and last in Jordan, awaiting the finale in the United Arab Emirates, with the goal of “sobriety”. In fact, the 50-year-old Naples native welcomed the remaining five pairs heading to Petra with a turban and a burgundy velvet robe, communicating the intermediate destination to be reached (Karak and its fortress, a Crusader construction divided into seven levels), where the two fastest will compete in the fourth advantage race of this edition.

Constantino Della Gherardesca returns

The challenge is to find the puzzle pieces hidden in the city castle and then assemble them. Of the two pairs, Sciakalli and the Italian-Brazilian, the latter proved to be better prepared and could secure a place in the general ranking. The destination of the stage is the country’s capital, Amman, where Costantino della Gherardesca returns dressed as the Emir. “I’m really happy and excited to meet you all”, said the historical host of the adventure game to the contestants before announcing the order of arrival.

Eliminate the Independents

The Italian-Brazilian team won again, choosing to eliminate Bugeo and Cristian Tondi between the Jackals and Independiente, who finished in the last two places. “We always play fair and to the best of our ability,” said the singer. “We also travel to learn.”
