DESTINATION X unveiled a brutal ‘sabotage’ twist – with one player receiving a huge advantage amid a savage cliffhanger.
The BBC programme sees a group of strangers try to figure out where they are in Europe through a series of clues in a bid to win £100,000.
Contestants will try any tactic to win and the latest episode saw one given a massive advantage.
The players balance champagne glasses on a tray – while answering tough questions about their opponents.
Josh, a 26-year-old pilot, emerged as the victor and soon learned of a huge twist.
Host Rob Brydon privately informed Josh that he would have the power to sabotage a rival.
Elimination occurs when the line-up place their ‘X’ markers based on where they believe themselves to be.
Josh received the ability to move someone’s ‘X’ by 250km, which could effectively ensure their exit.
Reacting to the game-changing news, he said: “I feel like I’ve got a lot of influence on the game, which I like having.”
Josh also didn’t have to take part in the next challenge – but got to see a big clue alongside the winners.
Elsewhere, he identified fellow players Nick, Judith and Claire as potential targets for sabotage.
Although Josh seemingly planned to choose Nick, viewers will have to learn the outcome.
This episode ended on a tense cliffhanger – with Rob having dropped a huge bombshell.
Namely, that the bottom two players’ X markers were only 600 metres apart.
One viewer wrote online: “The sabotage is not fair.”
Another remarked: “Sorry but why did Josh get to win a ridiculously overpowered advantage AND get the winning clue just from the standard side game??”
Whether Nick – who was identified by the others as the biggest threat – has his exit sealed or survives to play on remains to be seen.
Viewers will also have to wait to discover where exactly the latest Destination X is.
Players and fans alike seem to agree it’s Italy, but are divided on the precise spot.
One person wrote on X: “They’re defo on the south of Italy near Sicily.”
Another penned: “Changed me mind, Italy, Venice?”
A third chimed in: “Donatella Versace. That drink looks like a Campari Spritz. Milan?”
Destination X continues on BBC One and iPlayer.
