Elliot Constable has emerged as the champion of the reality series Race Around the World, concluding an intense 100-day journey. In a departure from the established format, contestants were granted the opportunity to choose their own final destination for the series’ reboot. Constable opted for the vibrant favelas of Brazil.

Having secured the top position among a group of six filmmakers, Constable has not only claimed the title but also gained funding to create his own project for ABC. Viewers can look forward to the final films from Race Around the World 2026.

In Brazil’s largest favela, a father’s aspiration to alter his son’s future takes center stage.

Constable’s film for week ten, filmed in Brazil, highlights this narrative.

Meanwhile, on the expansive Mongolian steppe, there are moments dedicated to recognizing the changes that have already transpired, rather than waiting for new ones to occur.

Mikaela Zuiderduyn’s week ten film, set in Mongolia, captures this essence.

In Los Angeles, Lucinda Price explores the accessibility of cosmetic procedures, questioning who truly benefits from the ability to maintain a youthful appearance.

William He shares his experience of receiving a tarot reading from a fortune teller in rural Vietnam, delving into the insights they uncover about one another.

In Senegal, Jayden O’Neill documents the struggles of a local fisherman, who feels that illegal migration is his only path to a better life, as the practice of bottom trawling devastates the local ocean.

Kate McGuinness tells the story of Yang, a stay-at-home father in China, who wishes to raise his child differently than he was raised, all viewed through the perspective of a foreigner.

Contestants were also invited to share a brief description of themselves. One participant describes themselves as “artistic, poetic, magazine,” while another considers themselves a “chaotic, introverted extrovert.” Each contestant expresses their personal motto for the competition, emphasizing themes like living in the moment and the subjective nature of art.

Among their essential packing items, contestants mention wired headphones for reliability, glasses—despite a tendency to lose them—and cherished personal items like meaningful jewelry and family heirlooms. Many contestants also share their greatest fears while traveling, ranging from logistical challenges to concerns about the well-being of loved ones back home.
