Destination X Star Exposes Behind-the-Scenes Reality of BBC Gameshow

UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 30 – Thirteen contestants face eliminations by guessing their location in Europe with clues, while viewers criticize the format and clue clarity, despite host Rob Brydon's involvement.

  • Amid its debut, BBC's Destination X premiered on Wednesday evening, with viewers complaining of a 'fake' airport lounge minutes into the first episode.
  • As the show began, three contestants were instantly eliminated at the airport under the furthest-X elimination rule, viewers said it was 'fake' shenanigans.
  • Contestants travel on an X-bus with blacked-out windows and fly by helicopter wearing special goggles that obscure their view.
  • Some viewers said home viewers were invited to predict the show's concealed locations, but many switched off after thirty minutes.
  • Next week, the first two episodes are now available on BBC iPlayer, with the next episode airing on Thursday at 9 pm on BBC One.
