RACE Across The World fans have blasted one of the pairs for their ‘selfish and rude’ behaviour ahead of the final.
Tonight, the fourth instalment of the hit BBC series will draw to a conclusion and a pair will be crowned the winner.
Four teams are left in Race Across The World in an effort to compete for the £20,000 jackpot prize.
The eight contestants were tasked with making their way from Sapporo in Japan to Lambok in Indonesia.
Alfie and Owen, Isabel and Eugenie, Stephen and Viv, and Betty & James are the pairings battling it out for the money and bragging rights.
But viewers have blasted one pairing in particular for their ‘selfish’ stunt on the way to Jakarta.
Stephen booked a taxi for him and his wife Viv to leave the checkpoint at Bukittinggi in order to get to Sungai Pagu.
However, just as he was speaking to the confused driver to confirm they had the right cab, Eugenie clambered her way into the vehicle as she ordered daughter Isabel to hurry as Viv was just getting ready.
After the mother and daughter duo were driven off, Stephen was left perplexed and frustrated as they were left behind.
Fans were left fuming with Eugenie and Isabel as they declared on social media how they shouldn’t win because of their actions.
One fan angrily stated: “Rooting for Isabel and mum til they stole the taxi 
.”
A second viewer suggested: “Not really a good idea to advise your daughter to nick other people’s taxi! What kind of a lesson is that! Wanted them to win. Not anymore!”
“Catching up with #RaceAcrossTheWorld really don’t want the taxi thieves to get anywhere near winning,” exclaimed a third watcher.
As someone else noted: “I did not like the Mum’s attitude regarding the taxi. She could have suggested they share the ride & the cost for mutual benefit. She comes across selfish & rude. I really hope they don’t win the race overall.”
Whilst a fifth fan added: “Any couple to win apart from Eugenie and Isabel. So irritating and stealing some one else’s taxi is a low move.”
At the time of the incident, Stephen exclaimed: “Oh Great! Now they’re nicking our taxi. Jeez, this is ridiculous isn’t it!”
Back in the cab Isabel was having second thoughts about the incident as she told how she felt guilty.
But Eugenie insisted they just had to get on with it, due to the fact it is a competition.
In the confessional she explained: “I’m very competitive and I’ve taught my kids to be competitive too. Isabelle and I are going to win.
Feeling even worse, Isabel suggested they do charity work to balance out their ‘karma’.
But Eugenie was still having none of it as she reminded her child: “It was either them or us, it’s a competition!”
Currently, lifelong friends Alfie Watts and Owen Wood are the current favourites to share the prize money as they led the last two legs.
However, fans also have a soft spot for brother and sister duo James and Betty Mukherjee.
The siblings recently had a personal conversation that moved viewers to tears as Betty opened up on her health struggles and her MRKH syndrome diagnosis.
Although it has been present since birth, she was only diagnosed with the disease when she was 16-years-old.
She admitted: “It means that I don’t have a uterus, I don’t have a womb and I only have one kidney as well.”
She added: “I think as a young woman, you’re told you’re going to marry, you’re going to have a family, and from a young age when that’s taken away from you, it does put doubts in your mind. Doubts in your purpose as a person, I suppose.”
What Is MRKH?
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a congenital disorder that affects the reproductive system in females.
It is characterised by underdevelopment or absence of the uterus and upper part of the vagina, often resulting in primary amenorrhea (the absence of menstruation) and infertility.
Individuals with MRKH syndrome typically have normal external genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast development and pubic hair.
However, the internal reproductive organs, including the uterus, cervix, and upper part of the vagina, are either absent or underdeveloped.
The exact cause of MRKH syndrome is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
It is considered a rare condition, affecting approximately 1 in 4,500 female births.
