Destination X Wed/Thurs 9pm BBC 1 TV Pace

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Anyone planning on watching this?

Rob Brydon hosts as contestants are driven around Europe in a blacked out bus, trying to guess where they are. I’ve seen clips of the US Version, it might be good!

Didn’t someone also say they were going for Venice but on the map it didn’t look like they were there?

Bologna is about 150km but can't remember where Claire and Judith actually put their X. And is it as the crow flies because Croatia crossing the sea won't be as far as by road.

Hopefully Nick has been moved closer to the correct destination as it turns out not to be Venice.
Not nice that Saskia didn’t even acknowledge how well he directed her in the game, he said well done to her, and she was off with him when they were partnered up, he’s doing well not to react. Wish she’d had Darren giving her directions.

Hopefully Nick has been moved closer to the correct destination

I think Rob said that whoever it was would have their X moved 250km “further away from where we are now”

My DS says the last task involved merchants. Merchant of Venice? Also don’t think Nick will be going even if he was moved.

Yeah, he did so makes it less fun that someone could be moved nearer.

Split to Venice is 242 miles!

Oooh well done your DS.

I agree that we’re unlikely to lose Nick yet.

Given the contestants don’t know where the X should have been and where the others put their crosses, what’s to keep the programme makers manipulating the results to save the most popular/interesting contestants?

The one who leaves must have been wrong because they find out where they were, but they have no way of knowing whether anyone else was actually further away.

Was it 250 miles or Kms? And where did Ashvin put his X? Need someone to go back and take screenshots 😀

Kilometres. I’ll go and have a look in a minute.

Damn, I've just watched that bit again and it's km!

I agree that they'll try and keep Nick for the draaaaaaaaaama.

I think it would have been better to have let Josh see where everyone else had placed their X and then let him place his X knowing what everyone else had done.

He seemed to be going half-way between Venice and Rome?

Didn't like that twist to move an opponent 250km at all, didn't feel very earned for carrying some wine glasses.

I hate the way they all go in on Nick, meanwhile Josh is (shown) sitting there smirking in silence, sharing nothing, while Nick has actively tried to help and be open within the constraints of the game and by being a naturally awful liar when pushed.

Saskia has no loyalties to anyone, either, so I'm not sure why she's piping up to Darren about Nick. She only wants him on her side because she assumes he'd be easier to beat in the final, while he's too busy believing they're all a couple of besties.

Has nobody mentioned Rob's outfits, btw? I think his wardrobe invokes each country's national dress, and today's was a dapper Italian suit.

The first one is Daren. Hopefully the picture will come up soon.

Everyone else went for Venice.

Did Judith and Claire both go for Venice as well?

Never mind, I can see your pictures now - yours are much faster getting approved than mine has been!

His videos looked like a Roman villa wall painting behind.

Oo, thank you!

It didn’t look like Nick had gone for Venice, but I think he went to the mainland rather than the island.

I think only Daren, Josh and Saskia are safe.

I agree. And Josh placed his X before he was told his would be moved if he didn’t pick.

I think its rovinj. Its the Croatian version of Venice.
