The Amazing Race has lasted for many years on CBS, but other globetrotting competition shows have been cancelled after just one year. Will NBC‘s new Destination X series be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A travel competition series, the Destination X TV show is hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. In the show, Europe is turned into a real-life gameboard as complete strangers are invited to participate in the trip of a lifetime and the ultimate geo-guessing contest. They traverse each country on a blacked-out “Destination X” bus with the goal of figuring out where they end up in each episode. The players disembark the bus to visit unique and unfamiliar tourist attractions that have been gamified into experiential challenges. They must rely on their knowledge of pop culture, history, geography, and their observational skills to win clues to their current location and earn an all-important advantage. The players each share an unmistakable sense of wanderlust, but with constantly shifting alliances and unexpected adversaries, they’re forced to discover who they can trust and whose strengths will take them the farthest. At the end of each episode, designated contestants must enter the Map Room and place their X on the map to indicate where in the world they think they are. The furthest from the actual location is sent packing. The final player standing at the end of the tour will find Morgan at the ultimate Destination X and win $250,000.
Nielsen Ratings
The Nielsen ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart is updated as new ratings data becomes available.
7/31 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
As of December 9, 2025, Destination X has not been cancelled or renewed for a second season. Stay tuned for further updates.

What do you think? Do you like the Destination X TV series on NBC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love this show. I hope it will come back especially with sexy Jeffrey being the host. I’m still trying to figure out why was Shayne doing BuzzLight year to the rescue on his arm on episode 7?
Okay, this is getting too predictable. The contestant that gets the most air time during the episode is the one that gets booted. That is beyond ridiculous. Why watch the episodes if the editors are tipping off the viewers as to who is being booted from the show?
I doubt this reality show comes back. There just isn’t enough there, there, for it. Mr. Morgan is a very good MC for the show, but there just isn’t enough going on in the show to keep an audience.
I don’t understand why people just can’t go on a show and play the game without having at least one pair becoming romantically involved.
Also, where did all the cleavage come from? I am no prude and have no problem with it. However, the first week or so, the women were more conservatively dressed. Then all of a sudden, multiple women seemed to dress in a sexier manner.
Mr. Morgan is a great host. The problem is that when it comes to game play, there isn’t a lot of there, there. There isn’t much to the game at all.
I like Mr. Morgan as an actor, but he’s not good as a host. The cast is mostly terrible. And who wants to see BB’s Josh? It could have been a better show but whoever selected the host and cast bombed.
Extremely uninteresting cast.
Most hilarious bit of dialogue was the old bird watcher announcing there were 11,000 birds in the world.
