New series, and it's actually really good.

First day and second day with him stuck in that same taxi trying to figure out how to communicate and get over the bridge in Turkey had me howling.

Then day 2 him going to Stonehenge, and meeting a guy who seemed higher than a kite.

I think he's turned a new leaf to where he won't be doing no money challenges and Mcd's stuff or sneaking in hotels now. Mostly because it seems like he's hit the bigtime. Was recently on an island ( mind went blank as to where it was) and then rubbing shoulders in Monaco. That's all fine, I just hope he doesn't get arrogant, because the whole fun of watching him travel is him treating people he meets like an every-man and finding hole in the wall places that tourists don't normally see.

I realize I might be the only one in this thread, but even if that's the case, I enjoy it lol. It's all good

Realistically he can't do that anymore too many people know him now imo

That's a really good point. Maybe I shouldn't be so quick to give him the credit of him doing it for moral reasons. Also he has the money now that he doesn't need to unless he was trying to see if he's still "got it" or something.

You spoke too soon Coffee is better than food at least imo. At least this time he ‘worked’ for the bus. I like him and most of his videos, I prefer the videos like the monopoly one and it would be good if he redid the followers challenge again that was good. I also enjoyed the going to the Uber drivers country and the World Cup game country.
He must spend a fortune on plane tickets always booking them last minute.
I think a good series would be visiting countries that start with every letter (or cities), maybe putting the options on a wheel to decide which.

I think I have the worst timing lol, here he goes doing a no money right after I said that haha. Gosh.

I like that idea of yours in the last sentence; I also think he's doubled up and gone to a lot of the same places over again in his challenges, so I think somehow it would be good if he could find a way to raise the chances that he could end up in more unique places than before. I'd really like it if he'd go more throughout Asia and Scandinavia etc.

It really pisses me off that someone with a platform like his thinks he’s above wearing a seatbelt. Noticed it in every video he never wears one

 

[Former_Antelopee]

Complaining about seats not reclining on the plane to someone say next to him then says yeah I won’t complain, when he’d complain already in the video once before. I think no economy seats on planes should recline

 

[bcat1998]

Also gets me the way he’s filming and talking to the person next to him on the plane and they most likely always look so uninterested. If I was the person next to him on the plane having him talk tit in my ear and shoving a camera in my face I wouldn’t be very happy either

 

[JulesWake]

This last series he did was a snoozefest. Since he's proven he isn't an honest bloke, I doubt his videos are authentic. Same shi^, different day.

 

[Former_Antelopee]

His new video I found annoying. Could’ve just used skyscanner like usually and found the cheapest flight. Also when he went into the dorms and left the video of the people sleeping in their beds, should’ve cut that out

 

[JulesWake]

He is a huge hit/miss imo.

Some of his stuff is entertaining, other times not so much.

The entire series in America was boring, nothing of interest. Fell totally flat.

Latest vlog from Simon visiting his home country of... Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Not bad, a bit better than a few of his last efforts. Can't figure out if his brother Ben has very dry humour, or is just genuinely bored during this vlog.

I agree some of his recent stuff is falling really flat. He could go anywhere but he's been doing some boring stuff lately with Wales ( not that Wales is boring) but half the fun is him meeting randoms that speak radically different languages and the chaos that ensues. That, and the train from Scotland to London. It feels like there's still so many areas of the world he hasn't been to, I think he should try to visit places that the monopoly board never landed on or at least use that as a guide and branch out, but I feel like every time I see a story on insta, he's somewhere he always ends up, like Dubai.

I'm starting to wonder if he's not "skint" again lol or made bad choices with money. Either that or he's burned out on traveling for now so is doing lackluster things to try to keep engagement going.

100% agree, either burned through his earnings or perhaps ran out of creative ideas. The monopoly board places he didn't land on would be a great opportunity, see places he has yet to visit. (if that's possible). He covered quite a bit of the States on past vlogs, didn't he? 7 Continents in 7 days was entertaining, although I'd imagine it's exhausting.

I reckon he is burnt out from traveling, I think he often comments doesn't he that he will be glad to be back to his own bed? Even with all he has done I doubt he'd have used all his money as he has enough followers he should be getting paid pretty well? Even if he has he could easily get sponsorships with his following either for the travel or good pay
