Destination X viewers 'fuming' over show's 'unfair twist' - as favourite risks exit

It was another tense night in Destination X tonight, as the BBC show aired its fifth episode of the series. Fans were left on a massive cliffhanger by host Rob Brydon, after the episode left them fuming.

The huge twist saw Josh was given the chance to sabotage someone and move their X 250km away from the point they chose. Josh opted to choose record breaking athlete Nick - who has shown his ability and strength throughout the course of the show.

Usually, fans will see who goes at the end of each episode, but they'll have to wait a little while longer to see who will be eliminated from the show. It comes after Destination X fans 'work out winner' after spotting 'clue' in episode four.

The good thing for fans is that they won't have to wait too much longer to see what happens next, with the next episode airing tomorrow night on BBC One.

Fans are now worried that Nick may be kicked out after being sabotaged, as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter to discuss.

"Well, josh is going to sabotage nick isn’t he? #destinationx," guessed one before he had even chosen. Another, who thought the advantage was unfair, said: "Whoever gets their X moved should get to come back in the final and move a remaining player's X".

"Moving the X is so unfair. Nick will be gone," a third wrote, as another agreed: "This is such an unfair power this isn’t Big Brother it should be a case where players can basically eliminate others."

"#destinationX Moving someone's marker is s**t. I'm going off this programme now," said another, while one penned: "Josh sabotaging Nick… are we surprised..."

At the end of the episodes, whichever contestant guesses the furthest from the correct locale is kicked off the bus, and their journey comes to a sad end.

Therefore, with Nick's X being moved so far away from the position he chose, will his journey come to an end?

It's not the first episode that fans have had a complaint to make about the show. Last week, fans all took to X to complain that they were'getting annoyed' with the show and the sheer lack of knowledge that the contestants seemed to possess. One viewer took to X to say: "Getting annoyed with #DestinationX - the lack of knowledge is appalling!"

Another said: "I assume it's deliberate in this show that they picked contestants who know absolutely nothing about European languages or Geography, but it's still very frustrating to watch."

How will the cliff hanger unfold in tomorrow's episode?
