🚨 Spoilers ahead — so go stream the episode before reading if you care about that kind of thing. Otherwise, join me in the fog of confusion that is Destination X.
Let’s be honest: I would’ve been 100% out on this episode. The second they hit that map and said “Switzerland,” I realized my knowledge of that country could fit into a tweet. Here it is:
“Switzerland exists. It is neutral. Also, mountains?”
That’s it. That’s the tweet.
And yet I still shouted, “Belgium! It’s Belgium!” like I was solving a Cold War code. I even felt briefly validated when one of the contestants said it too. But apparently Frankenstein is Swiss? Not German? I need a nap.
Oh, and Johan is a teacher?? He looks like he just got his learner’s permit.
Highlights from my descent into Destination X madness:
- An old-school game of Simon Says determines who goes to the map room. I didn’t realize nostalgia could be weaponized, but here we are.
- Jeffery Dean Morgan is still amazing. Seriously, I forgot he was in Weeds. I may need to hunt that down and rewatch it. Anyone know where it’s streaming?
- I genuinely hope they got to keep the marshmallows.
- I don’t even care that much about who wins. I’m watching to test my own internal GPS. (Spoiler: I am not good at this.)
- I would absolutely go have fondue with Jeffery Dean Morgan. Dean, if you’re reading this, call me.
Final Thoughts:
Destination X has fully hooked me. Not because of the strategy or elimination drama, but because it’s a weird, delightful blend of travel guessing game and light chaos. It makes my brain feel just challenged enough to stay engaged—but not so much that I have to stop scrolling.
Also, yes, I would fail this game. Spectacularly.
