NBC’s newest adventure competition, Destination X, is ready to hit the road — and the map — with a wild mix of reality TV veterans and new faces. Hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, best known for The Walking Dead, The Boys, and Supernatural, the series puts players through the ultimate guessing game. Traveling through Europe without phones, maps, or any real clue where they are, the competitors will rely only on their instincts.

At the end of each leg, players will head to the map room and mark an X where they think they are. The competitor whose guess is farthest off? Eliminated. It's a game of observation, strategy, and a little luck. And with a group this colorful, there’s no telling what will happen. Let’s meet the cast racing to conquer Destination X.


Big personalities and big moves on Destination X

Christian “Biggy” Bailey from Chattanooga, TN, is a sports bettor and content creator who’s confident he can charm his way to the end. A former sales manager, Biggy knows how to talk to anyone. Even though he’s only traveled to Mexico and the U.S., he’s betting on his personality to carry him.

From Austin, TX, travel influencer Ally Bross brings serious mileage to Destination X. After visiting 32 countries across all seven continents, Ally feels ready for anything. She’s even hopeful that the show could bring something more than just a win. Ally hopes that she'll possibly find a meaningful relationship with a fellow traveler and win the grand prize.

Then there’s Kim Conner from Kaneohe, HI. A single mother and social worker turned empty-nester, Kim’s assertive nature and new zest for travel could be her biggest assets. Having already embraced the world through international trips, Kim’s ready to make her mark on Destination X.


Some other faces join the race on Destination X

JaNa Craig from Kailua, HI, is making the jump from Love Island USA to Destination X. Leaving her boyfriend Kenny Rodriguez behind, JaNa’s ready to show a more competitive side this time. Her charming personality will likely be a weapon in her toolkit.

Shayne Cureton from Indianapolis, IN, also brings a lot to the table. As a world-traveling model, Shayne isn’t just banking on his looks. He’s got real-world geography experience and hopes his “charm, intellect, and love of travel” will guide him through the competition — and maybe even spark a romance.

Military kid turned English teacher Jonah Evarts of Manhattan, KS, knows how to move around. He’s taught in Asia and traveled extensively. Jonah’s goal is to use his “logical mind” to figure out locations quickly, but his honest nature might be his biggest strength on Destination X.


Strategic minds aim for victory on Destination X

Mack Fitzgerald, a state legislature attorney from Austin, TX, is used to handling tough negotiations. Working with politicians has sharpened her persuasive skills, but Mack knows Destination X will be a different kind of challenge. With over 50 countries already visited, she has the experience, but staying under the radar might be key.

Meanwhile, Tai Lowry from Prince George’s County, MD, left behind a career in law to follow her travel dreams as a flight attendant. Now newly divorced, Tai’s hoping Destination X is a fresh start. Although Europe is newer territory for her, she’s betting that her instincts and past experiences will guide her well.

From Miami, FL, Josh Martinez is no stranger to competition. After winning Big Brother and competing on The Challenge, Josh hopes his sharpened strategic skills will help him. Known for his passionate and sometimes polarizing personality, Josh wants to show a different side of himself on Destination X.


Unique perspectives shake things up on Destination X

Rachel Rossette, hailing from Orlando, FL, brings a touch of Southern charm. A pop culture enthusiast with a background in history and geography, Rachel’s hoping to downplay her threat level. Living part-time in Brazil and working in sales, she’s no stranger to adapting — something that could be crucial on Destination X.

Rick Szabo from Picton, ON, Canada, may seem mild-mannered as a professional birdwatcher, but he’s hiding some serious travel chops. Having visited nearly 50 countries, Rick’s hoping that his soft-spoken approach and broad knowledge will keep him flying under the radar long enough to succeed on Destination X.


Big names, bigger targets on Destination X

One of the most recognizable names in the cast is Peter Weber from Westlake Village, CA. Known from The Bachelor and The Traitors season 2, Peter — aka "Pilot Pete" — is hoping his navigational skills give him a leg up. However, he knows being a familiar face could put a big target on his back. Still, Peter’s ready for the challenge and believes his travel experience could tip the odds in his favor on Destination X.


Between old pros and fresh faces, Destination X promises a competition full of unexpected twists, alliances, and rivalries. Every leg of the race will test not just geography skills, but social ones too. The competition kicks off Thursday, May 27, at 10 p.m. EDT on NBC.

Buckle up — Destination X is about to take reality TV on a whole new ride.
