After being pardoned last week by the Pazzeschi, who preferred them to TikTokers, Atletici Alex Schwazer and Bruno Fabbri officially leave the scene at the end of the second stage of “Beijing Express” (Sky Original production made by Banijay Italia, every Thursday on Sky Uno is streaming on NOW). Together with the Independents Bugo and Cristian Dondi, in fact, the two still arrive among the last to cross the finish line and for this reason the Italy-Brazil couple, winner of the episode, opts for their elimination. “It’s not your race, I’m sorry,” says Helena Prestes in justifying her choice. “I think it’s time for you to go home.”
The skirts of the Dervishes and the aphorism on the ocean
The journey of the couples, in this case, had started on the plateau of Anatolia, from Konya, the capital of the Sultanate of Rum. Defined as the most mystical city in Turkey, it is the home of the famous Dervishes, the Islamic monks known for their circular dance with which they have meditated for centuries to reach mystical ecstasy. Words were engraved on the skirts of the Dervishes, which, once joined, allowed travelers to compose an aphorism (“You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the whole ocean in a drop”) and set off for Egerdir. , a beloved holiday resort in Turkey, where immunity tests were held for the top three.
The immunity test
Set in the town’s lake, the challenge centered on the Turkish crayfish, a highly prized lobster-like crustacean, which the qualified couples (Mom and Daughter, Pazzeschi and Fidanzatini) had to fish with the help of a series of small wooden boats. Not only that, because, in the name of responsible fishing, not all the animals collected were to be considered valid, but only those of the right size. The little ones had to be left free to grow.
The supremacy of Mother and Daughter
Also in this case, the path brings out in particular the determination and tenacity of Natasha Stefanenko and Sasha Sabbioni, respectively Mother and Daughter. The two not only crossed the intermediate finish line first, but also managed, despite a difficult start, to win the immunity test with a margin. “They are our number one enemy,” Rita Rusic jokes in a confessional, but at the moment, that’s exactly how it is.
