NBC’s latest reality competition series, Destination X, is set to bring a whole new kind of challenge to reality TV. Hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the show combines civilian contestants with familiar faces from reality TV to compete in a global race where the stakes couldn’t be higher. The ultimate goal? A $250,000 prize.

Contestants will be thrust into unknown locations, forced to navigate through clues without maps, phones, or even the internet. The twist? Some players are experienced reality TV veterans, while others are fresh faces, creating a unique blend of tension and drama. Here’s what we can expect from this high-stakes geo-guessing competition.


Reality TV stars bring extra flair to Destination X

The show features some familiar faces from the world of reality TV, with well-known contestants from shows like The Bachelor, Love Island USA, Big Brother, and The Challenge. Reality stars like JaNa Craig from Love Island USA, Peter Weber from The Bachelor and The Traitors, and Josh Martinez from Big Brother and The Challenge will be competing alongside the civilians.

These stars bring their competitive edge, which should spice up the dynamics of the game. As Morgan notes in the trailer, contestants will move through the competition with “no map, no plan, no clues,” making it even more exciting to watch reality TV veterans adapt to such a unique challenge.


The mix of veterans vs. newbies on Destination X

One of the intriguing elements of Destination X is the dynamic between seasoned reality stars and new competitors. Stars like Peter and Josh have experience with reality TV competitions, which could give them an advantage in adapting to Destination X’s unpredictable nature.

“It’s been confirmed that all three faces will be appearing in Destination X season 1,”

according to the trailer. These veterans are no strangers to high-pressure environments. But how will they fare when they’re stripped of their usual strategies and have to rely solely on the clues given in Destination X?

Newer players bring fresh perspectives and approaches to the game. For some, this is their first major competition show, and their strategies may be a bit more unconventional. The mix of veterans and newcomers will create a blend of seasoned competition strategies and bold, outside-the-box thinking. This should make for an interesting and dramatic dynamic as the show progresses.


What to expect from the cast of Destination X

While Destination X is full of reality TV stars, the bulk of the cast will consist of civilians. The producers have mixed the two groups together to create a competitive environment where anything could happen. Destination X is designed to be a show that pushes contestants to their limits, and throwing a variety of personalities into the mix is sure to spark some drama. Reality TV stars, especially those with experience in high-stakes competitions, tend to adapt quickly. But civilians may not have the same instinct for the pressure-filled environment, making for some interesting moments as the show unfolds.

For example, JaNa Craig has competed on Love Island USA, but Destination X requires a very different skill set.

Although Destination X is a very different show than JaNa has been on in the past, producers believe her experience in the reality TV world could help her thrive. The same goes for Peter Weber, who has shown his competitive side on The Traitors. And with Josh Martinez’s strong track record in both Big Brother and The Challenge, fans can expect him to bring his A-game to Destination X.


The blend of strategy, tension, and adventure will keep viewers hooked as they watch contestants try to navigate the twists and turns of Destination X. The show promises to be full of surprises, and with each new episode, the stakes will rise as the players edge closer to that coveted $250,000 prize. Don’t miss out—Destination X premieres Tuesday, May 27, at 10 p.m. EDT on NBC.
