We know what to live Beijing Express as competitors it must be no mean feat. This applies not only to the physical fatigue that the Sky Original program entails, but also for the emotional load that the competing couples find themselves having to manage, putting their limits to the test in order to reach the end. It goes without saying that each elimination brings with it a strong load of bitterness and frustration, especially if the person who decides on that exclusion is someone who considered themselves a friend. This is the case of the Caressas who, in the last stage in Laos, were forced to say goodbye Beijing Express because of the Pastry chefs Damiano and Massimiliano Carrara, who decided to eliminate them because they were deemed too strong. «If you are strong, you don’t fear another strong couple.” was the immediate comment from Fabio Caressa who, right at the beginning of the stage, shared part of the route together with Damiano, with whom he seemed to have found a strong alchemy guaranteed both by the strong common competitiveness and by a long-standing relationship guaranteed course thanks to Benedetta Parodiwife of Fabio and colleague of Damiano at that time Bake Off Italy. Despite everything, however, Damiano decided to eliminate him, hoping that the black envelope would save the Caressas, which however did not happen.

Although Damiano reiterated several times his desire to send home the couples he considered strongest, his choice was not liked by the other couples – especially by Italy – Argentina, who reflected on the fact that human relationships matter less for Carrara than the desire to come first – nor to Fabio Caressa who, unable to hold back his disappointment, has chosen to greet all travelers of Beijing Express except for him and Massimiliano. Damiano, as expected, was disappointed, and so were we: we agree that this elimination was unfair also because, frankly, we hoped to see Caressa in the final, however we think that Fabio made a mistake in not offering his hand to his executioner. First, because, if he had done so, he would have emerged as a giant, and second, because, having learned more about sport than others, it would have been elegant to demonstrate the fair play that many players on the pitch struggle to achieve. Having said that, the last stop in Laos of Beijing Expressconducted as always by Costantino Della Gherardesca and Frumanaged to give us different emotions.
Artem and Megan Ria
Together with the disgust for the fateful test of the Seven Monsters, a great classic of Beijing Expresswe were happy to see them back in the race for a stage the Slugs Dario Vergassola and Maria Rosa Petolicchioeliminated too early from the 2023 edition, but at the same time we were a little sad to see Artem so hard and so closed at the time of the pairs exchange at the beginning of the episode. The actor of Ukrainian origins found himself sharing part of the journey with the dancer Megan Ria, immediately finding it very difficult to establish a relationship with her. The reason? Being afraid of fraternizing too much with a woman with the risk that his girlfriend might get jealous. The result was a Megan in obvious difficulty, forced not only to sleep alone but also to face the competition without ever receiving a word of comfort, but also an Artem who should learn to soften up a little more because he thinks he can betray one’s partner forming a friendship or even just a complicity with another woman seems to us to be an old and stale concept that should be overcome.
