Destination X

[Philip A]

Reality show with Rob Brydon airing two shows every Wednesday on BBC iPlayer.

The Masked Singer but Geography. Contestants try to identify where they are, with helps and hindrances.

I personally enjoyed it. I quickly worked it out but the contestants’ perspective make it interesting.

For the love of God though, please cut the disturbingly creepy eye shots from the X goggles!

At the end, the winner wins £100,000. A bit cheesy but fun, engaging and not too serious.

Looking forward to seeing how tonight's goes now they've got fully into the game.

Was caught out yesterday by a load of specific clues being for Alsace, and assuming the Eiffel Tower clues were just to help get to France. Should have paid more attention to how far they were travelling.

You have to listen very carefully as well. I knew exactly where they were going 20 minutes in and was proven right when the one furthest away from the answer got off the bus. Future episodes could be harder though so it makes me curious.

It’s like a supersized, real-life version on Where is Kazakhstan? from House of Games.

Oh, and much better than Genius Game.

Worked out the country 5 minutes into Episode 2, but didn’t guess the actual location. However I did work out who was furthest away and thus eliminated.

Definitely a good format in there somewhere. But for a show that’s inspired by The Traitors, it feels sedate and dry, particularly during the discussions.

I think it’s just enough for a recommission, and with tweaks and more LOLs it could find its feet.

Bit late to the Party so no spoilers after episode 2.
I think the contestant in episode 1 deliberately got themselves eliminated due to being uncomfortable after an earlier clue.
Episode 2 was easy as there was an anagram or 2 to solve.
My problem would be finding the destination on the map.
A hybrid of coach trip, traitors Race Across The World and big brother
I do hope the Asian lady wins but not the Marathon Man or the Pilot
