In the latest episode of Celebrity Race Across the World, actor Kola Bokinni and his cousin Mary Ellen encounter a significant setback as they race from São Paulo, Brazil, to Tigre, Argentina. The pair, who are already facing challenges due to their low budget and previous setbacks, now have to deal with a missing passport.
As they travel to Punta del Este in Uruguay, where they hoped to boost their budget with a job, Kola realizes he has left his passport on the seat of the bus. This discovery leads to a tense exchange between the cousins, with Kola feeling stressed and needing space, while Mary Ellen tries to remain pragmatic and push through.
With their passports missing, their ability to enter Argentina and continue the race is threatened. The pair must now focus on retrieving Kola’s passport and finding a way to make up for lost time and money.
Will they be able to recover from this setback, or will it mark the end of their journey?
