“You will have to get used to it because we will say all things twice, so maybe you will never get lost.” The eighth episode of “Beijing Express” (Sky Original production produced by Banijay Italia, every Thursday on Sky Uno and streaming on NOW) sees the return – in the finale – of its historical leader, Costantino della Gherardesca, who, dressed as an emir Arab, announces yet another novelty of the edition: the running in tandem with the “alternate” Enzo Miccio.
The departure, among the ruins of Petra
For his fourth episode as captain, the second and last from Jordan, waiting for the grand finale in the United Arab Emirates, the wedding planner focuses on “sobriety”. It is, in fact, with a turban and a burgundy velvet tunic that the 50-year-old Neapolitan welcomes the five couples remaining in the race to Petra, communicating the intermediate destination to be reached (Kerak and its Roccaforte, a crusader structure that develops over seven levels) in which the two fastest will compete in the fourth advantage test of the edition.
The return of Costantino della Gherardesca
The challenge is to recover the pieces of a puzzle, hidden in the castle of the city, and then assemble them. Between Jackals and Italy-Brazil, the two pairs in the race, it is the latter who prove to be more ready and have the opportunity to gain a position in the general classification. The destination of the stage is the capital of the country, Amman, where, dressed as an emir, Costantino della Gherardesca makes his return. “I’m really happy and excited to see you,” the adventure game’s historic host says to the competitors, before announcing the order of arrival.

Elimination of Independents
Italy-Brazil wins again, which between Jackals and Independents (the last two classified), choose to eliminate Bugo and Cristian Dondi. “We have always played fairly, doing our game to the best of our ability,” says the singer. “We also traveled to learn.”
