The road trip on NBC’s Destination X takes a sharp turn this Tuesday, June 17 at 10:00 PM ET, as new arrivals and a critical test of loyalty look to upend the competition. In the fourth episode, titled “Let the Deceit Begin,” the game of geographic guesswork gets a jolt with the introduction of two new contestants, Peter and JaNa, whose presence immediately disrupts the established group.
The competition, which challenges players to pinpoint their mystery location while on a journey across the country, has so far been a game of misdirection and deduction. This week, the social strategy becomes just as important as geographical knowledge. The show puts one player in a difficult spot, but the main event centers on Biggy, who was previously voted the most trustworthy by his peers. A twist forces him into a classic game theory dilemma: betray a key member of his alliance or face elimination himself.
Each week, the player who places their ‘X’ on the map furthest from the group’s actual location is sent home. The challenges are designed to provide clues, but they are often filled with red herrings to throw contestants off track. With the arrival of new players and a forced betrayal on the table, the trust that has been tentatively built is set to shatter. The ultimate goal remains the same: be the first to correctly identify Destination X and claim the prize.
Destination X continues its journey this Tuesday, June 17 at 10:00 PM ET on NBC.
