From the moment that NBC announced Destination X was coming, the reality show and its surprising twist have fascinated viewers. After the first trailer was released for Destination X, it became the hot new reality show of the summer. In fact, after Josh Martinez revealed that filming the show was like torture that he loved, fans have been so engaged that they’ve looked back on Peter Weber’s reality show past.

On top of paying attention to the past of Destination X’s stars, fans have also looked to the show’s future. Now, TheThings can exclusively premiere a Destination X Episode 9 clip that reveals the show taking a sudden twist when the remaining competitors are forced to make game-changing decisions.

A Destination X Episode 9 Clip Reveals The Four Remaining Players Being Dropped In A Western Movie

There are many reasons why Destination X has been such a fascinating show for fans to watch. One of those things that makes Destination X feel like a globe-trotting and compelling show is that it can feel like the competitors are in different worlds from one episode to the next.

A clip from Destination X Episode 9 exemplifies why the show being filmed in locales that feel very different from each other is so compelling. Destination X Episode 9 will premiere on NBC on July 22nd at 10 pm ET/PT. Episodes of Destination X are then available to stream on Peacock the day after they first air on NBC.

As the clip from Destination X Episode 9 begins, viewers can see the four remaining competitors wearing the show’s trademark goggles. Once fans hear the sound that means the competitors can suddenly see the world around them, a gorgeous shot pulls back and reveals the competitors standing in a mystery location.

Throughout the first eight episodes of Destination X, the competitors were in a series of locations that felt like they were in Europe. However, the clip from Destination X Episode 9 suddenly makes it feel like the show has traveled to a different world, the so-called new world to be exact.

Like the explorers from centuries ago who discovered new continents, the clip feels like the remaining competitors found their way to North America without knowing how.

After he could be seen taking his goggles off alongside Peter Weber, Shayne Cureton, and Rick Szabo, Biggy Bailey wondered aloud if they were at the bottom of a canyon. Then the fearless host of Destination X, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, enters the clip with the information that the competitors and fans need.

First off, Jeffrey can be heard in a voice-over explaining why the latest Destination X feels like it is in North America’s south.

“In a region where rainfall is rare and the sun shines three hundred days of the year, my players are about to feel the heat of being the final four.”

As the clip continues, Jeffrey talks to the remaining four competitors from a different indoor location.

In a perfect moment that really gives the clip the perfect context, Jeffrey reveals that Destination X feels like something out of a western movie because it has been exactly that.

“Now, this area is a popular filming location, particularly for spaghetti westerns.”

At that point, Jeffrey begins to say something that makes the Destination X Episode 9 clip extremely compelling and thought-provoking. “Fitting because, like the Wild West, the stakes are high today.”

The Exclusive Destination X Clip Reveals The Upcoming Episode Is Likely To Be The Most Fascinating Yet

While Destination X fans certainly love how gorgeous the show looks because of its amazing locations, there is much more to it than that. In fact, it is the intrigue at the center of Destination X that makes it one of the best new reality shows. With that in mind, it is fantastic that Destination X Episode 9 features a twist that fans should absolutely love.

As the Destination X Episode 9 clip continues, Jeffrey Dean Morgan tells the remaining competitors about the adventure they are about to take.

As Jeffrey explains, all four of them would be sent out to each find their own clue to the location of Destination X.

After explaining that, it is what Jeffrey said next that makes the clip from Episode 9 very exciting.

“On your ride, you’re each gonna get an individual clue that you will see alone. The clues are all connected. But, as always in this game, share at your own peril.”

The implications of Jeffrey’s instructions make it seem like Episode 9 of Destination X could easily be the most interesting chapter of the show yet.

Since the clues are all connected, it seems clear that sharing information would help the competitors accurately figure out where Destination X is during the episode. On the face of things, that is a double-edged sword.

Obviously, each competitor will want to find out about all the clues. However, the competitors would likely need to share information about their own clue to get that information. If every competitor knows all the information, then they might all figure out where Destination X is and have to face a tiebreaker that would put them all in danger.

That makes the situation that the competitors will face during Destination X Episode 9 very dangerous.

If a competitor tells their peers the truth about their clue, the chances of them going home after a tiebreaker becomes much higher. However, if a competitor lies about their clue and gets caught, they may find themself on the outside looking in during the next struggle to figure out where Destination X is.

With four players forced to try to best figure out how to get all the information, not anger their peers, and keep their clue a secret, someone’s game is bound to explode. Fortunately for Destination X fans, they will get to watch what will happen during Destination X Episode 9 when it debuts on NBC on July 22nd at 10 pm ET/PT.
