Destination X Trailer Reveals Popular Bachelor Alum & Other Reality TV Stars Competing Against Each Other For $250,000 Grand Prize
NBC's new reality TV series, Destination X, will feature a mix of civilian contestants and reality stars in a new show that brings a whole new meaning to reality TV competitions, putting contestants into the world to find their way to a mystery destination. Hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Destination X features a group of reality TV alums along with civilian players working through clues that ask them to figure out where their next location is without maps, phones, or the Internet. A geo-guessing puzzle packaged as a reality TV competition, Destination X season 1 is the ultimate challenge.
Destination X announced the reality TV stars competing in the new competition series, as well as released an exciting trailer.
In the trailer for Destination X (via People), it's revealed that contestants "have no idea where in the world you really are," according to host Jeffrey, and they'll be moving through the competition with "no map, no plan, no clues." The trailer explains that the competitors can team up or work solo, but their ultimate goal is to make it to their next destination and ultimately win $250,000. Viewers will recognize a few members of the cast, including Love Island USA'sJaNa Craig, The Bachelor and The Traitors star Peter Weber, and Big Brother and The Challenge alum Josh Martinez.

Although Destination X is a very different show than JaNa has been on in the past, both Josh and Peter have experience with reality TV competition shows in their back pocket. After Peter's stunning performance during The Traitors season 2 and Josh's impressive run in recent seasons of The Challenge and Big Brother Reindeer Games season 1, seeing them compete in new environments will be exciting. While it's not clear in the trailer if all the contestants will begin the competition at the same time, it's been confirmed that all three faces will be appearing in Destination X season 1.
While some shows tend to opt for an entire cast of civilians or an entire cast of reality TV stars, Destination X is the right kind of series to mesh the two groups together. Reality TV stars, especially those in competitive spaces, have the ability to adapt to different styles of competition and make it clear that they'll work hard no matter who they're with on screen. With a trio of reality TV stars who are looking to win, pairing them up with a group of competition-savvy civilians will make for an interesting type of drama.

Producers Chose The Right Reality TV Talent For The Show
Although there are more civilians in the Destination X season 1 cast than there are reality TV stars, mixing the groups can create tension, or can help the civilians make alliances they otherwise wouldn't have in the game. With the competition pushing the cast to move around to unknown locations, having a familiar face could be helpful or hurtful in the game. While the reality TV stars competing all have different levels of fame and experience, they're all great picks for Destination X with its specific game elements and each star bringing something totally different to the table.
