Destination X

Trailer for episode 2 seemed to suggest traditional reality show 'kicking off' ensues. It better. That was dull as pensions advice.
 
yeah it was rubbish wasn't it? So boring that lad jacked it in after 1 day and went home. Baffling quiz in a box, Deborah put in an impossible situation and having to do that blindingly obvious lie. I'll give it another episode and see if it improves. Makes me appreciate the appeal of The Traitors and how much being 'in on it' adds to enjoyment of watching.

Yes, reality TV needs its villains. Perhaps they could introduce a contestant who voluntarily chooses annuities over drawdown. That would spice it up a bit.

Didn’t watch it but was going to give it a go, sounds like maybe not worth it.

It might improve, for me it was trying to be too clever with it’s little twists….though having said that I know where they were straight away in that little box…obviously none of the contestants did any early 20th century European History.
 
I caught the very end of Ep 1 when they had to guess where they were.
As far as I could see, they all seemed to guess around Austria, Switzerland apart from one who went for somewhere in France.
Turned out they were in Paris but she got kicked out for being furthest away. Is that what happened?

I thought to myself, this game must be more confusing than Genius Game.
 
I think it might develop, from watching both episodes the key to winning seems as much about laying red herrings for the others as getting the location right. However, you need to develop the trust so that the more gullible take the bait. During the second episode a few seem to have twigged, first episode nobody seemed to understand the game!
 
Watched the first episode last night. Lasted about 40 minutes. Bunch of entitled ******* getting a free trip round europe (as far as I could tell they were all "content creators" "surf shop teachers" "marathon runners" - what happened to postmen or sheet metal workers?) and could win £100k in something that looks like they were making it up as they went along? No thanks. Brydon is an awful host as well.

To be fair, there's a nuclear physicist, so there are some salt of the earth professions in there!! :D

Is there a telephone sanitiser on the show? Maybe the Destination X bus is our equivalent of the Golgafrinchian B Ark?

"These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchians to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship would contain all the people who made things and did things, and the B Ark would hold everyone else, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitisers. They sent the B ship off first, but of course, the other two-thirds of the population stayed on the planet and lived full, rich and happy lives until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone."
 
Don’t like Rob Brydons theatrical approach and over the top outfits.
It’s all very Traitors (US or NZ)
