What Reality TV Stars Joining Destination X Means For Show
There’s An Element Of Veterans Vs. Newbies
AlthoughDestination Xis 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. AfterPeter’s stunning performance duringThe Traitorsseason 2and Josh’s impressive run in recent seasons ofThe ChallengeandBig Brother Reindeer Gamesseason 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 thatall three faces will be appearing inDestination Xseason 1.
While some shows tend to opt for an entire cast of civilians or an entire cast of reality TV stars,Destination Xis 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.
