Last week I had two predictions. And I think I got one of them right.
Spoiler from here
I predicted that)
So Ben did not end up in Northern Ireland, which I am a bit sad about.
But I really think that Sam didn't want to win this round. And he probably selected the cards to make it so. At one point there is a pretty big cut between the moment he says let's get one more card, and the moment he draws a 10 minute bonus. He had already shuffeled.
I also want to say that I think it's not the first time that they manipulate the cards. In Japan, Sam was in such a bad position that I think he cheated to take the relocate card. But to stay fair, he deliberately hide badly so that it would not change the outcome of the game.
Northern Ireland is not reachable with 4 hours to hide. Even if someone hid literally in Ayr station and was found at the optimal time, it's about 5 hours to Belfast on the rail replacement bus and the ferry. The Liverpool ferries take longer.
Even the old High-speed Sea Service from Stranraer would have been difficult, taking 2h10 plus check-in at the end of a branch line, plus time getting away from the port in Belfast.
I don't think this is much of a spoiler when it's known to anyone who's done it, or just looked at the timetable.
