  1. Have you watched that #BBC crap Destination X?

    I was expecting to be solving the puzzle of their destination using cultural insight but instead we get a load of cryptic clues and contestants having to hang upside down from a cable car.

    Such a dreary endeavour, that doesn't even let you see the clues for very long.

    And I don't care about any of the non-personalities who are on the show.

  3. CW: BBC Destination X

    A fake police stop. How original. Who’s been tampering with the tubes?

    They’re going big on amphitheatres, and Dalmatia. Can we believe the population is about 50,000? Apparently so.

    A test of memory first, and a teeny bit of sabotage. But mostly memory - and luck, I doubt many people can remember an 11-element sequence.

    Bit of an anticlimax to lose that player here: they were either a villainous boot, or on a possible redemption arc to the final.

  4. CW: Destination X continues.

    European Working Time Directive says, “hiya! Remember me?”

    You know how the premise is to travel Europe and guess where you are? Let’s break it, and stay in one city all episode.

    With the coach drivers on a break, the players are given tasks to do, with Rob Brydon singing during some of them.

    The result: someone gets an Exemption to the next episode, and can give it to someone else.

    “You know so much more than me! About geography!” [headdesk]

    Sabotage involved clogs originally; giving people extra wine to carry must be pinotage.

    Owl eyes are a symbol of Venice, but why the heavy emphasis on Croatia as a distraction?

    The elimination is deferred to tomorrow’s show, another lazy cliffhanger.

    There’s a good show in this format, but we still ain’t seeing it.

    You are talking about ladies’ bras. You are playing bland incidental music and not “The ladies’ bras”. Cuh.

    Battle lines are between the newbies and the long-term players. Two of them get a night in a “room with a view” which they look at for about two minutes.

    Some rather fetching goat headphones, hope they’re sold on the BBCtat website.

    Five boots from the bus, four women gone. This is going to be as sausagey as 1970s TOTP.

  9. I'm still watching #DestinationX even though it's a bargain basement Traitors wannabe.

    It really is crap, but it's oddly compelling crap. If only so I can feel smug and smart in company to the players.

  11. Yeah #DestinationX is still really crap. Nowhere near enough red herrings, too many direct clues and a glorification of the fact too many UK folk do not know anything about where stuff is geographically or what flags look like. Not cool.
    Plus the Dutch elimination process is SOOOOOO much better

    (sigh)

    This is a people show, isn’t it. It’s a programme about people, their relationships and emotions and prejudices and what makes them tick.

    And it’s wrapped in a mass-appeal geography challenge, with a little undercurrent of learning more about Europe is good, and will be rewarded.

    Still feels claustrophobic and cliquey, maybe the winning move was not to play.

  14. CW: Destination X on BBC1

    Episode 2, and a very naughty change in protocol.

    Yesterday, all the clues were for where we are right now. Today, the clues were for where the end point is. That’s actually rather unreasonable.

    I ought to like this, and I don’t. Too much music, too much artifice, too much faff.

    Wants to be as clever and cool as De Mol, is actually as clever and cool as Guardians Of The Museum.

  15. What?!? Someone decided to LEAVE of their own decision in the FIRST episode? What the heck did he think he was signing up for: Coach Trip? #DestinationX

  17. CW: Destination X on BBC1

    13 gather, but only ten start the game: there’s some sort of Bit Of A Wasted Journey shenanigans in Baden Baden.

    Lots of footage of the players on a bus.

    Enough info to work out that they’re in Alsace-Lorraine, though “V on a rose” was spectacularly weak.

    And then on to a destination with no further clues.

    They try to add some playalong web interactivity. Doesn’t work.

    They’ll need to add something for tomorrow’s show.
