Destination X

Show was mids at best, then I realized that's what you get when the majority of your female contestants are OF girls.

Insane casting decision I must say but I'm guessing someone high up in production was in cahoots with these girls.

Yikes.

Show itself was just alright. Had some interesting twists thrown in that were original to the show and that I did appreciate.

One of my biggest criticisms is the late show character additions. I don't think that was fair and a lot of my friends that also watched the show said the same thing.

All in all you'll be entertained, but don't go in expecting something like Traitors.

This show is right up my street. A guessing game with twists, mystery, back stabbing, hidden clues....oh I loved it!!!!! It was fun to play along, although I think the layout of the show needs to be changed ever so slightly. So in the English version of the show, the viewers are not told the destination until right at the end of the show, whereas in some episodes of the US version, we're told right in the middle of an episode at least which country they're in which I didn't want to know yet. Also, the English version is about 20mins longer so it's able to pack in a lot more detail, and at times, this version moved a little too fast, especially the first episode. Nevertheless it was a great watch, literally watched this all in one sitting until near 4am!!! That's how good I found it. Really hope this is renewed for a season 2, because I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done!!!

Same reality show nonsense as every other American reality show and loses all the uniqueness and intrigue of the original European formats. Every clue is handed to the audience. No chance to guess yourself at all. Treats the audience like idiots and aims to just show drama rather than the actual mystery of "where are we". Most of the people aren't even in the Map Room each time, thus making the show simply about getting other people into the Map Room so you don't have to guess.

Horrendous format and completely ruins the novelty of the original show.

The host is kind of obnoxious. Poor man's Javier Bardem tries to be too sexy and suave. It's also annoying how it revolves around it being his game, his bus, his everything. Excuse me but we know he didn't invent the competition, he has a whole team behind him. Also there is a character named biggie and he is so obnoxious. He screams in a large southern draw at the camera. Every-time he hits the camera I put it on mute. You can tell the producers are feeding him lines and told him to go over the top with it. The game builds drama for having methods every episode to screw over other players: They reward the top player but everyone else its just as good as finishing last .I just found Jeffrey to be annoying, and biggie got on my nerves, and I'm from the south. You can pass in this.

I love geography. And I particularly love European geography. And I so wanted to watch this series. But it has one major flaw. The people are terrible at geography and foreign culture. Foreign flags. Foreign anything. Honestly, they don't seem to know anything about anything! They are utterly and completely clueless. Such a shame and a waste of an opportunity for a great show.

Also, the solutions to the problems are way too easy. The locations are way too obvious. I suppose it's made for the masses. What the typical American might know about European geography. I get it, but but geesh, no one's going to learn anything about Europe or European geography by watching this show. It's all so incredibly basic.
