Rob Brydon is the host of the BBC's latest reality series, Destination X, a travel guessing game where contestants are transported across Europe without knowing their location. The show, based on a Belgian hit, features 13 participants living on a black, windowless bus for a month, tasked with identifying where they are through clues and challenges. Those who fail are eliminated.
The series includes elaborate deceptions, such as fake airport staff and identical twins to disorient players. In the first episode, contestants are blindfolded and flown in a helicopter before being placed on the bus. Challenges range from being locked in boxes to dangling from ropes 2,000 metres above sea level. Brydon describes the show as 'The Traitors meets Race Across the World'.
Brydon joined a preview event in London, boarding the 'X bus' for a short blind tour. He noted the intense heat inside the vehicle, joking about the air conditioning. The show aims to test contestants' observational skills and resilience, with cabin fever leading to heated arguments among players.
