Fans of Destination X on BBC One have been left furious by a ‘rubbish’ twist.
The reality competition has been heating up in recent weeks, as fans are getting closer to winning £100,000.
Rob Brydon’s new BBC reality show, which has been tipped as Race Across the World meets The Traitors, sees players try and figure out where on earth they are by picking up on the clues dropped through various games, and the look of the area around them.
Ultimately, the person to guess the furthest location from where they truly are by the end of the episode is booted out of the coach.
However, in a huge twist, Josh was given the chance to sabotage someone and move their X 250km away from the point they chose – and he chose Nick.
This led many fans on social media to share their fury over the decision, with @alexanderls3 writing on X: ‘WHY do these shows always throw in stupid twists?!
‘What do you mean Josh can move someone’s pinpoint 250km away….. that’s just straight up cheating as he’s obviously going to choose the best player (Nick) and how is that fair? #DestinationX’
@RebelDiamond_ added: ‘If #Nick goes on that ridiculously unfair twist I’m going to be savage #DestinationX’
@DrabWilly similarly said: ‘Having a competitor move someone’s pin 250km away from their guess makes a mockery of the show, just becomes a game of luck and randomness rather than skill (including deception) and intelligence.
‘Prob won’t bother watching if Nick ends up eliminated as a result #destinationx’
@thraxar also wrote: ‘Well I liked DestinationX until tonight’s episode. Adding special abilities to totally change someone’s guess and then ending on a a cliffhanger is rubbish 👎🏽 It felt fresh and interesting until now #destinationX’
Meanwhile, @darwizzyszn_ described the 250km move as ‘sabotage’ and said it ‘ruined the game’.
This comes after fans slammed contestants for missing an ‘unforgiveable’ clue in last week’s episode.
The contestants were driven through beautiful landscapes as they stopped off at a castle to listen to music from artists linked to the final destination.
Eventually, they listened to a song from The Sound of Music when Julie Andrews sings ‘Do Re Mi’.
However, one contestant, London cab driver Daren Parr took a while to come to the conclusion many viewers had already come to, at one pointing calling the noises ‘nonsense’.
Destination X airs at 9pm on BBC One on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
