Destination X

Oh, and we wouldn’t be afraid to change the catch phrase to, ‘Where the F are we?’

I've recorded this but I think I much prefer your version!

I semi-watched it - was concentrating on a complicated knitting crochet pattern at the same time!

Perhaps I should concentrate on one or the other, as I couldn't get into it, saw them struggling with languages and wondered what they were taught in schools today! It seemed to be rather strange 😀

I'm part-way through the first episode now. I like reality shows like this when I'm knitting or sorting, both of which I do on Sundays. I can stop and start paying attention at will.

I don't think I'd have much idea where I was at this stage, but I'm not sure I've worked out how to play yet .

They seem to find a formula for this type of show then do it to death. Rather read my book.

Ah but sodapop, if we were doing it you’d be able to read your book and solve the clues at the same time!

These youngsters….They just don’t know how to multitask! 😂

The second episode was much easier to work out. I got the first stop of the first episode but was totally confused as they then travelled to a completely different place on a blacked out bus and the extra clues pointed to the first place not the final destination.
I've not warmed to any of the contestants, but am glad there aren't any sob stories yet.

I can’t decide if I like it or not. We guessed the correct country but wrong city for the first episode. Second episode we guessed exactly the right place.

I'm not sure I get it. What's the actual point of being transported to the destination?

They could sit them down somewhere and give them the clues. Like in a pub, with some drinks. In fact I'm sure lots of people would enjoy sitting in a pub with a drink and some mates while they're asked questions and given clues. Oh ..wait ..

Think he says "Where the X are we".

unlike the dim contestants who don’t seem to have much of a grasp of languages or European geography. 😆
Who doesn't know where Colmar is?
Who doesn't realise that CH plastered over everything is Switzerland?

I'll come on the oldies' coach. Are there showers?

I've watched the first two and guessed both but then I had been to those parts of Europe before. I expect to fail on some if they go to countries I don't know that much about. Still, it's a frolic during the 'silly' season.

I think this is the first series, so it hasn't been done to death. If that happens, I'll stop watching, but I'm enjoying the scenery for now, and trying to work out the clues.

Who doesn't know where Colmar is?
Me! 🙋‍♀️
It sounds Irish 😁

But I did know the answer to the other question.

It is absolutely beautiful 😍 I’ve sailed through the town.

I just had a look, it does look beautiful and unspoilt.

Off the coach now! Only joking!
A lot of the river cruises stop off in Colmar. I think it is often advertised for its Christmas market too? I've never visited.

I was feeling a bit travel sick anyway, it's disorienting not being to see where you're going.

As for all the clicking of knitting needles and shouts of triumph when anyone wins at Snakes and Ladders, I can't get a wink of sleep.

I'm stopping off to explore Colmar 😂

I didn’t know either Allira

Oh, thank goodness.

Our French Mam'selle at school was from Alsace, perhaps I should have known. She was a student, only there for a term to help us with our French Conversation before our orals.

I can't remember which tv series/recipe book it was in, but I'm sure Rick Stein visited Colmar. The recipe could well have been a sort of sauerkraut and sausage?

Agree tv is direct at the moment! Usual summer rubbish. Sorry I loathe game shows, that and soaps are all that seem to be on

None of them seem to have heard of The Matterhorn. That clue was so easy.

I found it boring! What is the point? I watched something (can’t remember what) onU!
TV is dire at the moment. Repeats, fake news! Emergency things?
Standard is horrendous. Then they are pumping the strictly come back! 😡🤬🥴👎
Oh dear! I do like Anna Pririe - she is brilliant.
That’s my rant
