01x10 - Episode 10

[bunniefuu]

Hey. Hi, Emiel.
- Hello.

Would it be possible
for you to rotate your screen?

Do I have too big of bags under my eyes?
- No, you actually don't have any bags.

The intention was
to have one last conversation

before we made our choice.
- All right.

Wait, wait.
- What?

Lol.

Yes.
- Yes.

Yes, absolutely.

Except for a cow
and a few children in the distance.

I am alone.
- Completely alone.

Okay.

No.

Oh, my god. Nice.

And so began an unprecedented adventure
for the contestants of Destination X.

Are you happy?

They had no idea
what awaited them

and even less did they know

that they had already spotted
the eight exit locations.

Because behind the production worker

There were eight stops
on the bus.

It is clear that

this program was not only
full of deception,

but also full of hidden tips.

After a journey
of more than 6,000 kilometers,

the candidates have
many questions.

This is logical, because these eleven Flemish people
traveled blindly through Europe.

What was the route?
How close or how far

was everything during the exits?

And how could they have distinguished
truth from deception?

To finally discover all the answers,

all the candidates came together
for the first time again

one day before the first broadcast.

Ah, Bo.
- Glenn, how are you?

Back at the airport.
Where it all began.

Back here.

Hey, what's this?

'To Ramsgate Ferry'.

That's the mobile home from episode one.
- Ah, yes. Yes, yes.

Back then we still thought
we were going to England.

Ferry.
- A ferry.

Ramsgate Ferry.

Passports. Then it's England, right?

The most logical option is England.
- Yes, the most logical option is England.

And here. Champagne de Savoie,
product of France. Brut.

Champagne.
- France.

Bye.
- Enjoy it.

Champagne for the winners. Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Cheers.
- Cheers.

Uh, yeah.

Who is that?

Come on, tell me.

Hello.
- Hello.

Is that you?

I am Jef.
- Hi, Jef.

I am...
- Did you also participate?

...the eleventh candidate.
- The eleventh candidate.

Hey. Hi, Jef.
- Hey.

Actually, I want to ask you if you
would like to be our eleventh candidate.

Yes, please. Very much.

Bo and Glenn were eliminated
before Jef entered the game.

So this is the first time
they meet each other.

Or is everything here
not what it seems?

I saw you guys here at the
airport, but that was the only time.

You were sitting here too, right?
- Yes, there was one person between us.

Hello.
- Hey.

Oh, how nice.
- Yes, it's been so long.

Is this a museum here?

Exactly all things
we were no longer a part of.

I'm going to do my first communion.
- You should try it sometime.

Well, it's a little pizza.
- Amen.

You have to say amen.

Is it spicy or something?
- Ah, yes. That could be.

That's spicy.
- Wow, he seems to be suffering.

That's spicy.

Is there a trash can here?

She's there, listen.

How are you?
- Good, son.

Who are we missing?
- Gino and Dorien.

Ah, yes.
- That was the older one.

He looked like me. Daddy.
- That old man.

Are those the finalists?
- Probably.

For now, there's no trace
of the finalists: Dorien and Gino.

Still, for the group
it's a nice reunion

at the place where this mysterious journey
began six months ago.

It's also the only place where they
have all been together.

They still have a lot of
unanswered questions

and outside there's
a familiar mode of transportation

that should take them
to the answers.

Xavier is back.
- The bus.

Beautiful.
- Wow.

Can we go inside?
- The last one is a mussel.

They're not here.
- Aren't they in there?

So strange to be back here.
- It smells like a horse stable in here.

It smells new in here.
- That's for the next candidates.

Are we leaving?
- Where are we going?

To the sea.
I don't know where we're going.

Dear candidates of Destination X.
Welcome to this reunion episode.

Today will be a relaxed day,
because you're on your way to a location

where, as always,
I can't say anything about.

For three weeks, this bus has been
your most loyal travel companion.

In this bus, you played games,
made plans, and formed connections.

It was also your main sleeping place,
but sometimes it was smarter to stay awake.

She saw it all by herself.
- Dorien.

While the candidates discover
that during this trip

certain things happened
behind their backs,

that is actually happening
at this moment as well.

Because without them knowing,
Dorien and Gino

are following everything from
the control room of the bus.

From there, they can see and hear everything
that the others are saying.

I woke up immediately.

And it was also super exciting,
because I wanted to be as quiet as possible,

so that I was really the only one who could see
what was outside to see.

She did tell me that.
- Yes, she did tell me that.

Did she tell you that?
- Wow.

And I slept.

If I get a tip later,
I'll share it with you,

but not with the others. Sorry, okay?
- No, that's fine.

Then the chance is smaller that I...

Oh, that was vague.
- To the max.

Sneaks.

Do you need to know anything else? I can already
tell you: the next exit is good.

That's really a golden tip.

I got the tip from the VIP room
completely from him,

so I could
go to sleep with a clear conscience.

Blissful.

But this trip
was of course much more

than just intrigue and gossip.

On board the bus, it was above all
an unforgettable road trip.

Okay. Wine. Guys, there's wine.

To Destination X and a beautiful adventure.
- Cheers.

I really think we're going to
have to live in this bus.

Yes, I'll shave when the bus is moving.
Okay.

Good idea.

It's gone.

Boys against girls?
- Of course, my horse.

Three, two, one, go.
- I really feel at home.

Who's on the phone?
Hello, hello.

It's really pissing me off.

Oh, f*ck.

Well, cheers.
- Yes.

Do you think Gino or Dorien
played the best tactically?

Dorien.
- Dorien.

Funny that you say that. I think
Gino played much better.

He also did that with everyone...
- Yes, that's true.

But he really tried to deceive me.

I know. That's why I think
his strategy was better.

He tries to gain everyone's trust,
but he does that with everyone.

What did he always say? "I never lie."

He is really sweet though. I remember:
I was sitting upstairs in the hallway.

We had just put our X's and he came
to me and gave me a hug.

And he said: "Look, I want you to have it.
You're the youngest. I want you to have it."

And then he left again.
I thought it was so sweet.

But I have to say:
Gino has put his crosses very often

where he thought it himself, and Dorien
often where other people thought.

Gino has never let himself be led
by anyone else in the game.

After half an hour of driving,
the bus approaches its mysterious destination.

I really think that 70 percent of all tips
have escaped me in the game.

I would really like
to see it properly again

how we supposedly crossed that water
in that motorhome.

It didn't happen, we know that, but
I would like to see it properly.

What? Did it just open?
- I see a bunch of lights.

Is it true?
- What do you see?

A big table.
- We're inside somewhere.

Let's go.

Hello, everyone.

Hello, hello.
- Hello. Have a seat.

Thank you.
- So well done.

How is everyone doing?
- Good.

You all look fantastic.
- That's different from a tracksuit.

I would say: Welcome.

Exciting. For you, of course,
the adventurous trip has been over for a while.

But there are still many questions, I think.

Who is the winner
of this unforgettable adventure?

Who narrowly escaped
during some exit-thrillers?

Where have you been?

And how did we make you think
you were somewhere else?

Thank you.

I would say: Cheers, everyone.
- Cheers.

Cheers, guys.
- At the reunion.

Of course, there are still
two other candidates missing.

Our two finalists.

I suggest
we bring them in as well.

Please do.
- Dorien and Gino?

They are going to come off that bus.
- Yes, probably.

Yes, I recognize that sound.

Hello. Hi, Kevin.
- Hi, Dorien. Hi, Gino. Have a seat.

Welcome.
- Thank you.

You look fantastic too.
- Thank you.

Chic sir. Chic sir.

Gino, how was it to spy on your fellow candidates
from the control room?

I listened to everything carefully.

and I was surprised a few times
by some of them, but...

Dorien, have you recovered
from the adventure?

Yes, finally.
- Finally?

Yes, it took a long time,
but now I have recovered.

And for you, Gino?

I have given it a very special place.
Yes, absolutely.

Fine. Today I want to show you the route
that you have actually never seen.

I suggest we take a look at
the familiar map of Europe.

The adventure started
at Wevelgem airport.

Five candidates left
with the motorhome,

the other five candidates
left by plane.

Did you already know
where you were going?

Did some of you have an idea already?
- No.

What about Gino?
- Yes.

You can say that now.
- Yes, with your compass. With your compass.

In episode one,we have
tried to mislead you

in a certain direction,
towards a particular country.

I suggest we take a look at how
we have shaken things up for you.

Let's see how we have played with
your expectations for the first time.

I'm curious myself.

The exit location
of the first episode was Paris.

Even though some subtle
and less subtle clues

pointed towards the United Kingdom.

After the meeting at the airport,
half of the group drove

in a blinded motorhome
to the port of Ostend.

But what they didn't know then
was that in Destination X,

Nothing is what it seems.

Ah, crazy.

We are in Ostend. I didn't want to say it.
We are in Ostend.

How do you know that?
- Because I recognize it.

Steffie immediately recognized
the port of Ostend.

But this customs post
hasn't existed for a while.

It was completely staged,
including real agents and drug dogs.

That's crazy. I believed it so strongly.

Yet the candidates in the mobile home felt
like they were really being interrogated.

That they were on a boat.

That's a boat.
- A boat?

Definitely.

That's the boat.
- Come on, man.

Jesus.
- That really looked like a boat.

However, it remained just a feeling,

because the candidates never
were on a boat.

They never even left
Ostend.

Yes, you hear all sorts of things.
- You can hear water too.

Water.
- I can feel it in my stomach.

That can't be right?

To complete the deception,
we played the sound of a ferry at sea.

But as always in this program,
there is one golden rule:

every deception contains a mistake.

So the observant candidate could recognize
the sound of a penguin here.

One that is quite lost, because as far as we know,
there are no penguins swimming in the North Sea.

For two and a half hours, the ferry on wheels
rocked back and forth in one spot.

Did we stay there for so long?
- It really felt like being on a boat.

Come on.

That's really good.

Meanwhile, the other candidates
were really flying towards Great Britain.

On the way, they even saw
the white cliffs of Dover.

We're in Dover. I recognize it.
- Really?

But those who weren't distracted
by this beautiful view,

could feel the plane
making a big turn right after.

Back towards
the European mainland.

And ready for the big jump.

Wajo.

And so everyone came back
together on the bus

to wake up at the beautiful
Château de Chambly in France,

just a mere
seventy kilometers from Paris.

In the garden, they were served a typical
'English breakfast'

and of course, the entire breakfast
was a deception towards Great Britain.

But those who started the day
fresh and lively,

could also discover mistakes here again.

Because to soften the bitter taste,
an authentic Brit always adds milk to their tea.

On the breakfast table, however,
there was no milk to be found.

In fact,
to draw their attention to it,

the tea was made extra bitter

by letting twenty tea bags steep.

Yet the tea went down smoothly.

And what about the mysterious butler?

He didn't say a word too many and
there was a very specific reason for that.

I am Dominique Dauwe
and I am here as an actor.

See, he could speak Dutch.

The delicious breakfast
almost made our candidates forget.

To keep a close eye on the surroundings.

Because sometimes we chose
not to cover everything.

Even during the Mini-game,
every detail was carefully observed.

That was beautiful.
- That was cool.

And so the steering wheel was indeed
on the other side, like in Great Britain.

Really?
- Yes.

I was on the right, right?
- I don't remember.

Ah, f*ck.

Wrong side.

And the speed was also indicated
in 'miles per hour'.

However, the deception could easily be exposed
thanks to the traffic signs.

Miles per hour.
- Ah, yes. Oh, my god.

Only, the abbreviation for 'miles per hour'
is still M.P.H. and not M.H.P.

Did you see that?
- But Gino. No.

Really?
- Miles per hour.

You even said it yourself.

Yeah, not a big crossing then.

I first look at the candidates to my left.
You were in the mobile home.

Emiel, I heard you say earlier
that you really thought you were on a boat.

At that time, we also didn't know
what was possible and what wasn't.

We didn't know how far they would go.
- And we didn't know what the game was.

You really hear the sound of the sea and when
you hear that water and that swaying, then...

Sydney, you even got seasick.
- I was really... Yes.

Seasick.

You were really seasick.

I was really seasick
from hanging on that crane.

Everything I see here is really...
thirty kilometers above my head.

The sewer drains, everything...

Over 30 km above our heads... Did someone
make a U-turn while flying?

I'm looking at the James Bond
of the group. With the compass.

What did your compass say, Gino?

Yes, I also saw the White Cliffs of Dover.

And then the hatch closed and we flew towards the south,
so we could never be in England again.

No, that was impossible.

Gino's compass did give him
an advantage after all.

The southeast.
We're completely turning back.

It was a trump card that would give him
an unfair advantage in this game.

On the rest. A too big advantage
that he couldn't keep.

The first exit took place in Paris.

Bo, let's see
where you put your X.

Yes.

Bo, you placed your first X


- It could have been worse.

In Munich.

How come you thought
we were there?

No, it was in my head
that I was in Germany.

I also relied a bit
on Gino's information.

On the plane, he said: We are now
going south and then east,

so I thought:
yes, okay, we are in Germany.

And then I took a guess.
- Clearly, yes.

Unfortunately, I also have to ask you
to be the first to leave the table now.

Oh, are you serious?

Come on.
- Is it really?

That's so brutal again.
- Are you serious?

It's a joke.

And you fell for it completely.

I'm laughing,
but I wasn't far off.

We were three in Germany.
- I think it was Gino, Sydney, and me...

Ah, yes. That's hilarious.
- Well, yeah.

Gino, we knew
that we were in Paris.

I was sitting next to you and we heard
both rings of Paris.

And what kind of sound
does the ring of Paris make?

It's very distinctive.
No, it was very clear.

The ring of Paris often goes
underground. You have those intermediate sections.

And it was very crowded.
There were all kinds of things next to us.

Yes, that's true. But I also had doubts.
I wasn't convinced.

Because I didn't get off the bus.
- Exactly.

I have marked my cross between Southern
Germany and Paris based on that.

We also heard
that French fire brigade.

I heard that too,
but it could also be misleading.

And what was that exactly?

Those sirens, I happen to know that.
That is...

And what is that?
- That is France.

Ah, yes.
- And how about Poland?

Poland?
- No.

Yes.
- When I hear it, I will say:

It is probably...
- And Belgium?

Do this, do that.

Where is my wife?

Do this, do that.

Stupid game.
Honestly, I cried so much at home.

You could have lost your spot in the final there.

I was so stressed.
- You're doubting yourself.

Do you know that you were almost
the winner of the episode?

It was really bad.

Oh, no.

After Bo's exit,

the bus completed a journey
of almost 1,000 kilometers to the Alps.

But of course, the Alps are spread
across multiple countries.

So it was an ideal arena
for more deception and clues

in episodes two and three.
Let's take a look at a clip.

From Paris, the bus continued
eastward, towards Austria.

Briek, Emiel, and Sydney
were the first candidates

who could discover this,

as they were the very first
to take a seat

in the VIP area of the bus.

With three of us, we're much smarter.
- Oh, my god.

What the f*ck? That's really crazy.
- The A4.

From this luxurious position, they not only got
ten minutes of exclusive view of the road,

but also of this delivery van,
which didn't pass them by chance.

We never knew that.
- Never knew.

This croissant advertisement was a clue
that seemed to refer to France.

But nothing could be further from the truth,
because the croissant is originally

not French, but an Austrian pastry.

Moreover, the text was written

at the top in the colors
of the Austrian flag.

However, there was still
a small reference to France,

because the next day, the winners
of the helicopter ride

were offered champagne
by a French butler.

Champagne for the winners. Congratulations.

A deception that they
could have seen through

if they had looked at the wrong label carefully.

Because champagne from the Savoy region
does not exist at all.

The luxury drink is only
made in the Champagne region.

Just before that, the contestants played
a life-size game of goose on a lake.

A quiz that was not only
spectacular,

but also full of tips
to the exit location.

What do you call a male walrus?
The correct answer is...

a bull.

And for those who had trouble
finding the bull on the map,

I also gave the exact
location name of the Red Bull Ring.

Which American director
directed the film E.T.?

The correct answer is...

Steven Spielberg.

Spielberg, the Austrian city
where the Red Bull Ring is located.

A race circuit.
- Stop.

That's the helicopter.
- A race circuit.

That hat too.

That's so cool.

Glenn and Zeno were the first duo
to dare to work together,

but all the clues had eluded
them in this episode.

f*ck, I really don't know.

They both put
their cross in Switzerland,

a few hundred kilometers
from the race circuit.

And so the first collaboration
costs them.

Glenn immediately went home.

Group hug.

I won't forget you guys. Seriously.

Bizarre.
- Come here.

Without him, the bus continued
in episode three

to the breathtaking,
yet lesser-known Slovenia.

For that reason, in episode three,
there was no deception

and the episode was packed with tips.

For example, from the cable car,
they could not only

spot a lookalike of Donald Trump and
his Slovenian wife Melania,

but it was hanging between the stickers
in the gondola:

the literal name
of the exit location.

'Find me. X is Bled.'

Bled.
- What does it say?

Bled.
- Bled. 'X is Bled'. Oh, my god.

You could have seen this image too,

but wild Slovenia had much more in store.

Wow, that's cool.

f*ck, that water is so clear.
I want to go in.

There was a spectacular race
between the four rafters on the water.

versus the four passengers
on a freight train.

During the rafting, the candidates picked up
the doll Jefke.

Although they had no idea at the time
that the doll would come to life.

Here, Jefke.

Did you join
in the third episode?

In episode three.

The next morning, the bus stopped
at a bus stop.

There, for the first time, they
came face to face with Jef,

the flesh and blood version.

Hey, but he was also at the airport.
- Huh?

One hundred percent certain.

That was a cool moment. That was good.

Early in the morning, Jef
already received his first assignment.

While the other candidates
were still sleeping,

he had to sneak onto the bus
to steal himself.

The stress I had.
- So cool.

Nice.
- Crazy, dude.

Really crazy.

After discussion, the candidates
decided not to let Jef on the bus.

But Jef got another chance.

During the running test
at Bovec airport.

During the selection process, Jef
proved to be the strongest candidate physically.

He's there.
- It's an alarm. Alarm.

He lived up to that reputation
and thus secured a spot on the bus.

So, an adventure or what?

Hey, Jef. How exciting
was all of this for you?

Wow. Now that I see it again...
It all comes back.

I remember thinking: I'll have to run
my legs off later, so...

It did cost the heads of two candidates.
Natifa and Sydney.

Let's take a look at the map for a moment.

Have we completely crossed that mountain range?
- Yes.

Oh no.
- Oh no, Natifa.

Natifa, you marked your X in Slovakia.
How did that happen?

I don't know.
The fatigue, everything...

I saw things that were no longer there.

You saw things that were no longer there.
What caused it then?

Yes, in the end... Everyone says
all sorts of things. You doubt yourself.

Actually, being misled by yourself?
- Yes.

You're only 87 km away...
That's not far.

Sydney, you were indeed


That's really good.
- That's gambling at that moment.

And someone has to
guess something too far.

That's right, because the one who just
escaped by the skin of their teeth before you,

was 7 km off.
And that was quite a surprising name.

Well, that's...
- 7 km.

Gino, you could have lost your spot
in the final there.

Yes, I was aware of that.


- That's quite harsh.

Yes, that's really...
That's a close call.

I could have been out for the same amount of money.

In Slovenia it may have been exciting already,

but that was nothing compared to what was yet to come.

In episode four, the bus continued
on to the Croatian capital Zagreb.

In this 'Three Rockets' challenge, the
candidates played an escape game,

but the apartment buildings were
not only filled with puzzles

to free Gino,

but also with clues about the country
they were in at the time.

Three, eight, five.

So 385 is the country code
to make a phone call to Croatia.

But there was also plenty to discover and experience
for you and the candidates in the apartments.

There is a lot of information to gather.

Such as
the room full of Dalmatians,

a dog originally
from...

yes, the Croatian region of Dalmatia.

That's Vincent's girlfriend.

And did you also notice the photo albums
full of famous Croatians?

Starting, of course,
with our very own Vincent Banić.

That's his girlfriend.
- He owns a restaurant.

But there was also a photo of this man.

Here, Charlie Chaplin.

Unfortunately, this is not Charlie Chaplin,
but the Croatian Nikola Tesla.

One of the greatest inventors
of all time.

Briek and Zeno found Gino first,

which allowed them to join him
in the VIP.

And there they received a tip.

Pay close attention
and be attentive to spelling errors.

It all seemed vague,

until Dorien later that evening
noticed something strange.

Check.
- Why?

All passports.

An unexpected turn
that we had not counted on.

Because in a program
where you want to control everything,

an intervention like this
can ruin everything.

So we could only encounter this patrol
with 'carabinieri'

when we were on the border of Italy?

No carabinieri?
- A little carabinieri.

Or was this turn
not so unexpected after all?

I really hope they will fall for it.

This border control was
completely staged.

Buongiorno.

It was an intentional deception
to Italy.

But every deception can be recognized
by a mistake.

In this case, a spelling mistake.

The Italian police
are called 'carabinieri'

and not 'carabineiri'.

I think that was really customs.
- I think so too.

Actually, I think so too.

So foolish, right?
- That was misspelled.

Misspelled.
- Exactly.

The next day,
the candidates were expected

at a winery on the Croatian
peninsula of Istria.

The confusion was complete,

because this region suspiciously
resembles the Italian Tuscany.

Isn't it chic?
- Blissful.

Instant vacation.

But the holiday atmosphere
was short-lived,

because the next challenge
was anything but relaxing.

Wow.
- f*ck, those barrels.

From several barrels
infested with local pests,

each candidate managed
to make a bottle of wine.

To obtain letters from home.

Ugh, I can already feel it in my legs.

But then everyone received a proposal.

Plot twist.
- I can eliminate two glasses of wine already.

Then you have to burn your letter.

Hello.

Briek hardened his tender heart
and burned his mother's letter.

I'm going to burn my letter.

But he still didn't choose
the right wine.

Black Mountain is a new type
of modern Bulgarian wine.

I'll stick with my first choice.

Jef and Zeno do.

Hrvatska Istra.

That's how they found out
they weren't in Italy,

but on the Croatian
peninsula of Istria.

An hour's drive away was Pula,
the largest city in Istria.

There, the biggest mindfuck
of all awaited them.

Or was it a golden tip?

That depends on your knowledge
of the Roman Empire.

Because this was not
the Colosseum in Rome,

but rather the amphitheater of Pula,

a lookalike that is about ten years
older than the one in Rome.

What was that?
- That can't be.

What was that? I didn't see anything.
I couldn't see it from that far away.

Dorien and Steffie marked their X
in the Italian capital,

but just barely
made it through.

Unfortunately, Pula became
the final destination for Briek.

Darn it.
- It's okay.

f*ck.
- Our sunshine.

Ons clowntje.

The Colosseum.
- Stupid Colosseum.

Briek, you didn't survive the exit.

Wow, that's really...

You fell for the deception
with both eyes open.

How come you were so sure about Rome?
- I wasn't sure.

I really... That was really
the dumbest exit there was.

Seriously, I was in that VIP room...
- You saw Split.

And I saw Split.
Rome was never in my notebook.

That was Split. And yet with that customs...
And then...

I... Sorry.
- I asked Dorien: What did you see?

'A famous building in Rome.'

So yeah...
- I also put my mark there.

And then I drove myself crazy.

You really saw me going back and forth
from Split to Rome and...

I felt so stupid.
- Briek, do you know that you were even

almost the winner of the episode?
You were the winner the whole time.

You hesitated in the last ten seconds
and then you went from Croatia to Rome.

Stupid game.
Honestly, I cried so much at home.

I said: Dada, dada.

And the candidate supervisor said:
Why don't you sit in the front?

I said: No, I'll sit in the back.
And then I closed the door and really...

That was really not nice.
It was really bad.

But look, yes.
- The difference was very close

with the two following candidates.
Namely Dorien.

You almost lost your spot
in the final.

You were at 1300 meters.
- What?

Yes.
- Oh, my God. What the f*ck.

Come on, man.
- 1300 meters.

By the skin of one's teeth.

Very, very close.
How were you deceived?

He's going to cry again.

The whole episode was
a mindfuck for me. Non-stop.

And then I was indeed
sitting next to Briek on the bus.

And yes, we communicated with each other.
I thought: huh, are we really in Rome now?

And everyone was so confident.
I thought: yeah, maybe it's possible.

Yeah, you see. And I just got lucky
that I didn't find it.

We had also passed through customs
and we had been on the bus for a long time.

And then you drive yourself crazy.

After Briek's exit,
the bus continued on.

This time they actually crossed
the Italian border.

In Arquà Petrarca, the
remaining candidates

could gather tips that led
to the location of the exit.

For example,
at the local fruit stand,

which was nicely decorated
with typical Venetian masks.

Or what do you think
of this table decoration?

But it could be even more specific by referring to
the exact location of this episode's exit.

This was the San Marco Square.

The little brother of
the world-famous square in Venice.

For you, it may no longer be a surprise,
but we are in Italy.

But what do you get
when you've

been f*cking with the group
for two weeks?

Exactly, they don't believe a word
of what you say anymore.

There are many Italians here, but
I think we're in a Balkan country

where there is still some Italian
residue or something.

I think it's Bulgaria.

Nevertheless, nothing was a lie.

Not even when the bus drove onto
a gigantic raft the next day.

Avanti, avanti. Calma, calma.

Stop, stop.

Where are we now?

We are at the final destination
of this episode.

And I will no longer delay
the exit.

Against all expectations,
the candidates had to

immediately mark their X on the map.

Zeno placed his X the farthest
from the exact exit location,

but like the others,
he was able to indicate Venice.

This allowed the entire group
to roam the city carefree.

Enjoy the beautiful Venice.

Not only did nobody have to go home,

the candidates were also allowed to freely
explore for the first time in ten days

and enjoy themselves without any pressure.

Just check it out.
It's really a beautiful day.

During dinner, the vacationers were confronted
with the harsh reality.

Men, this is disgusting.

Soon, the bus will leave Venice,
but with only five passengers.

Man.

Without knowing it, Zeno still
had his fate in his own hands.

Because if he played the evening game
in Venice well,

he could still
jump over Dorien or Emiel.

The rest was out of the picture.

But the mission with the masks
proved to be more difficult than expected.

Oh, man.

No, it's not him.
- Damn.

f*ck.

Unfortunately.

No one succeeded in the task

and the X's only moved further away
from the exit location.

As a result,
Zeno's previous achievement proved to be

only a temporary delay of execution.

His adventure ended in Venice.

And that also meant the end
of the unbeatable duo Emiel-Zeno.

Gino, after Venice, there was
a sort of reset,

with a new journey
of over 1,000 km.

What did you think when you
first got off the bus?

That it was cold. It was really cold.

We already knew for sure
that we weren't in the south.

But completely disoriented.

Just cold and in the north,
but we really had no idea...

Same for you, Steffie,
after the goggles opened again?

Yes.
- What did you see mostly?

A bit more of our surroundings.
That's what I thought.

Is it weird that I say that?
- No, no.

I thought: we're getting
closer to home again.

No more sun, just normal weather.

Normal landscapes.
Belgian landscapes.

De Ardennes.
- Yes, that's what I thought.

Not for the first time during this trip

you were relying
on your senses.

I suggest we test them again
and see how sharp they still are.

Under your seat
is the famous X-glasses.

You may take them, put them on...
- Again.

...and then I will present something to you.
- Here it comes.

Not the communion wafers, please.
- No, no.

I can still see.
- I can still see you.

You can still see?
- Yes.

O, no.
- Terrible, isn't it.

You may take off your glasses.

Hello, boys.

I thought: how is this possible? But I did
find a place for it the next day.

You all came here
in a blinded bus.

And that's not just for nothing.

I'm curious.

Are they krofi?
- Imagine.

Is there anything yet?
- Yes.

Does everyone have their spoon?
- No, wait.

You may now taste it.

Oh no, I don't want to.

What is that?
- Chocolate.

Something with speculoos.
- What do you think?

Something you've tasted before?
- Yes, this really tastes like bear poop.

I know that.
- That's exactly bear poop.

Have you...
- Never tasted it?

Bear poop?
- Yes, speculoos.

You may take off your glasses.

Yuck, what is that?

That's crap.
- Oh no. Polat.

But come on...
- Hi, guys.

Yeah, no.
- We know you're from Bruges.

Hello, guys. Nice to meet you.

You just ate
the famous bear poop.

It was in the meadow.

It's a mix of gingerbread and syrup.

We mainly wanted to make you believe that
you were somewhere in a Polish bear forest.

And of course, this man had something to do with it.

Very well done.
- Polat.

You have probably already noticed
that Polat is not from Poland.

Where are you from then?
- Bruges.

If you're from Bruges, sit in the back.

I never thought you
were from West Flanders. Never thought so.

How did you know he was from Bruges?

I am a loyal viewer of VTM News
and I saw Polat...

I saw that you were
doing a bootcamp with young guys.

And that made the news. It was
really surprising. Really the truth.

There is oil in birch bark.

There is nothing in the forest...

Burns as well as birch bark.
Do you see that?

Love for nature can only grow
if you get to know nature,

if you truly experience nature.

And may we also know your real name?
- Harald.

Harald.

I would go for Polat.

How could the candidates have
known that you're not a real Pole?

One clue was the flag.
- It's upside down.

It's upside down.

But really well done. Hats off.
- That's true.

Harald, I want to thank you.
You did a fantastic job.

You can take your bear poop with you.
- Thank you.

Goodbye.
- Thanks, bye.

Bear poop.
- Yes.

I knew it was bear poop.

Where did you see that?
- It was everywhere in piles.

And Emiel and I passed by
and we started to smell it.

And I smelled that it was quite sweet.
It smells strongly of speculoos.

That's right.
- 'I'm going to taste it.'

If I see one,
I pretend to be dead.

That's from a bear.
- That's bear poop.

Do you see the color?
It comes from the berries.

We're going to make bear poop here.
It's made of chocolate mousse.

It's made a bit more purple,
because bears eat berries.

All the poop the candidates encountered
in episode six,

was expertly placed by the
clever team behind the scenes.

Jef decided to take a closer look,
but played along to mislead Emiel.

In Poland, there are definitely bears.
One hundred percent.

And in Poland,
this impressive coal site

could have been the location too.

Only the truth was closer to home.

In Essen, Germany.

Wow, cool.

During the descent into the mine, the
candidates were greeted by one of the miners.

Glückauf.

'Glückauf' is a German miner's greeting,
typical for the Nordrhein-Westfalen region.

A series of underground trials
were had to determine

who would compete against Dorien
in the final challenge of this episode.

And then switch.

Jef outplayed everyone
and got to face Dorien

in a duel at 70 meters high.

Jef also won the last challenge.

As the winner, he received
this globe with the ultimate tip.

Wow, party time.

An X on the German city of Essen.

But there are no winners without losers.

And in this episode, that was Emiel.

Ja, nothing to be done.
Well done, you four.

Emiel.
- Yes.

You weren't too far off.

But of course, you were left
with the real top players in this game.

Why did you place your X there?

I started to doubt
and I had hoped that someone else

would have placed their cross
further to the right.

So I thought: I'll play it safe.

But because I wanted to play it safe,
I completely messed up.

In episode seven, the candidates arrived
at Camping X.

With references
to four distinct countries.

Ah, it's in German.
- It's in German, yes.

After an international cooking competition,
Dorien and Jef turned out to be the best chefs,

which gave them an interesting advantage.

A radio.
- Yes.

With this radio, they could
listen to the local radio station

and discover that they were still
in Germany.

NRW.

In fact, NRW is the abbreviation
for Nordrhein-Westfalen,

the region where they were also
in the previous episode.

They had actually been driving in a circle.

Because this episode would end
in exactly the same place as the previous exit.

The ultimate mindfuck that only Jef
realized during the final game.

f*ck, we knew that.

Only he was allowed to take a look
outside the box.

Here, he immediately recognized
the Ferris wheel from the previous episode.

Steffie didn't get to see anything

and that meant the end of her adventure.

With only three candidates left, the bus
continued towards the semi-finals.

In this ancient abbey,
the candidates had to search

for a medieval map.

Jef and Dorien got
their hands on the useful map.

On the map, they could read
'Comté de Namur',

which is the medieval name
for the province of Namur.

Impressive, isn't it?

The last game
before the final episode took place

in a fabulous castle.
It was a psychological game

where they had to keep their loved ones
hidden from each other.

An almost impossible task
after all that time away from home.

During the emotional final part
of the evening,

the contestants picked each other's
loved ones from a line-up.

Ah, darn.

Jef and Gino didn't get caught and
therefore gained an advantage.

They were allowed to ask one yes-no
question to their visitor.

Are we in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg?

Are we at a castle on the Loire?

Oh dear.

Jef couldn't turn his advantage
into valuable information,

which meant for him,
against all expectations,

the end of his adventure on the bus.

Jef, you have to explain something to me.

You win episode three,
the first one you join.

You come in third in episode four.
You win episodes five and six.

You also win episode seven.

You are the clear winner
in episode eight... and then you're out.

I still wake up at night thinking about it.
- Is it true?

No, no.
- Yes, yes.

No, no.
The moment I was eliminated was real...

Yes, I really thought: how is this possible?

But I had already processed it
the next day.

I'm not sure.

I saw my brother and I was convinced
that we were allowed to speak.

And that everything was actually
already okay for the final.

And then I was so confused

that I didn't even ask the right
question in hindsight.

So... yeah.

Let's take a look at the map
to see how far away you were.

Were we there? Oh, my God.
- I went too far down.

And now we'll see...
- Wow.

That's crazy.
- And us? Where were we?

You were on the right, I was on the left.
- I was in Luxembourg.

In hindsight, stupid, right?

Wow, so ten kilometers.
- It's not much of a difference.

Twenty kilometers.
- The game before that was Wallonia.

I was sure of that.
But then we drove for a long time again.

And then it could be anywhere again.

On the other hand, you think: if it's something
in that area, it's Belgium. Right?

And also, that was in a castle and all,
and I thought:

Luxembourg is maybe
a bit more royal than Belgium.

I knew you were going to put your cross
in Luxembourg.

And of course, I had a very good tip with Serge.

And that's why I knew
that I was reasonably safe.

But I never thought you would go so deep
into France to put your cross.

I really...
That screen starts flickering.

I zoomed out too far
and then placed it wrong.

And when I put my cross,
I knew it was done.

Too bad.
- I dreamed about it a lot.

That's true.
- I can imagine.

I got to experience it all,
so I'm definitely not regretful.

This brings us seamlessly
to episode nine,

where there were no more
deceptions and tips.

But it was a race to the spot
where I was located.

It was a neck-and-neck race
between these two top contenders.

Dorien and Gino.

I can imagine that you are also
curious who has won.

Let's take a look.

In the final episode, Dorien
and Gino competed against each other.

What started with a battle
against the four seasons...

ultimately turned out
to be a thrilling race.

Where the finalists had to search for.

For the eight coordinates
of destination X.

I have a snake.
- Have you found a coordinate yet?

Another snake?
- I'm getting tired of this.

Ah, you went together.

Eight digits that would reveal
my secret location.

But also eight numbers
that slowly but surely

rang a bell
for some of the candidates.

You've had a lot of clues
for the final destination.

All numbers in coordinates.
You have longitude, latitude.

I am very happy that I chose you.

There have been a few numbers

that I think refer
to a latitude and longitude.

Have you also noticed eight suspicious numbers
at home in the past few weeks?

In every episode,
there was a hidden number.

If you placed all eight
in order,

you could already determine

my final location
at the end of episode eight.

During the race to destination X,

the pieces of the puzzle
finally fell into place,

and that meant
the moment of liberation

for one of the two finalists.

I told you so.

Hello.

Gino.
- Gino.

Goosebumps.

Really beautiful.

Gino, congratulations.
- Thank you.

Truly a deserving winner.
You did very, very well.

Played very impressively. Dorien, you too.
- Me too, but that cross...

Hey, really.

What remains now? Is there some
disappointment or are you mostly proud?

No, I'm super proud and mega grateful.

I never thought I would get
this far in the game at all.

I really thought I would be eliminated
after two episodes or so,

so I'm very happy that I made it this
far and together with Gino

could do that beautiful last episode.

And yes, it all came down to that cross,

because we stood there for
a super long time with two.

And...
- You were ahead in time for a long time.

That cross has ruined me.
But I said it then and I say it now:

I think we both had
an equal right to it.

I'm really happy for him.
- Absolutely. Thank you.

Gino, I am pleased to present you with
this beautiful check for 50,000 euros.

Fantastic. Thank you very much.
- Great.

Thanks, buddy.
- You're welcome. Well-deserved winner.

We're all going to do
something fun with it together.

Thank you.

Dear candidates,
there is one more thing I have to say.

You all came here
in a blinded bus.

Oh, no.

And that's certainly not just any reason.

I'm going to ask you to place your X on the map
for the last time.

And pay attention. Anyone who places their X
within a radius of one kilometer

from the exact location where we are now,

may...

participate again next season.
- But no.

No, that's not true.
- Are you serious?

Kevin.
- That's impossible.

Boys and girls, you may now
go to the bus to place your X.

Bus sweet bus.
- Here we go again.

It's the same thing again.

It was a really crazy adventure.

This is truly a one-time thing.
- X.

We are currently here.

Yes, this is once in a lifetime.

Putting an X, isn't that above?

Bus sweet bus.

My bed.

The candidates must,
for the very last time,

put their X on the map of Europe.

Oh, here we go again.

That's really the same thing again.

They retreat into their familiar cocoons
upstairs on the bus.

I really want to go to sleep here.

The ideal place
to reminisce

about the adventure of their lives.

I had all sorts of things in my head
on what this could be,

but driving through Europe in a blinded bus
was the last thing I thought.

But it was really fantastic.

I thought it was great.

You get dropped off in a bus.
You don't know where you're going.

I got to do such cool things.

Even now, sometimes I wake up at night
and think: wow... once in a lifetime.

I actually didn't expect
to be the first one to be eliminated.

It was very short, but powerful.

What I will never forget is the skydive.

I really thought that was the best. Wow.

The challenge with the Minis, when
we had a mega-stinky fish in our car...

Yuck, what the f*ck?

That was quite hilarious.

Ah, that stinks. We weren't allowed
to open that. Open the windows.

It could have lasted longer, but
the short period it lasted for,

was phenomenal.
You feel like a child again.

This is truly a one-time thing.

I can always go rafting, but I will
never again ride a moving train

and change clothes with Gino
in a Mini Cooper.

Do you have a sweaty butt?

It was intense at times,
but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The highlight for me
was jumping out of the plane.

I had to let go of all control
and just let myself go.

My soul still needed to connect
with my body.

I look back on this adventure
with a good feeling.

I will never forget the singing challenge.

I still have a slight trauma
from that.

Ah, f*ck.

sh*t.

The krofi. I really enjoyed
that task.

Everyone was so competitive
at that moment.

Come on, Briek. The pudding is gone.
- Gone.

It's very satisfying to end
with a very fulfilled feeling.

Well done.

I will never forget the moments
on the bus.

The laughter with the g*ng. The crazy locations
we were able to visit.

I think you have to experience it yourself
to understand what it's like.

The highlight for me was when the bus
suddenly stood on a barge in front of San Marco Square.

I found that an incredible moment.

The windows opened and we saw
San Marco Square in Venice.

That was really incredible.
It was really a crazy adventure.

I think my personal highlight was that I was able
to take a last minute gondola ride,

stood together with Gino in the final

and that we also
sat in those stunt planes.

You only experience that once in a lifetime.
- Yes.

It was also mega intense, but it was
also a tremendous enrichment.

I think I have changed tremendously as a person.

I really owe that to the adventure.

I actually found it mind-blowing.
Yes, once in a lifetime.

Well done.
- Like a pro.

Come on, let's just go there.
- Go, go, go.

Did you bring your compass?
- Gino.

Let's go.

Even you at home searched through the app
every week in large numbers

for the exit locations.

Some of you were able to decipher the clues,

while others fell into the trap of deception.

Some things stood out very clearly.

We were able to find the best detectives
in the province of East Flanders.

Viewers from this province could
be worthy candidates.

In addition, some exit locations
were not so easy to discover.

The viewer at home
marked their X on average.

The furthest from Paris, France.

Although sometimes you couldn't be fooled
at home,

because you knew
the most about one exit location.

That exit location was
Zollverein, Germany.

In general, you were
in the app

an average of 234 kilometers
away from the exit locations.

Lastly, it was also noticed
that from all age groups,

one was the most consistent
in staying on the right track.

Namely, the twenty-
to thirty-year-olds.

Furthermore, it turned out that Gino
was an exception.

On the rest of his peers.

While the viewers aged 55 and over

performed the worst
in placing their X,

Gino became the winner
of Destination X.

But only one viewer could be
the ultimate winner.

This person had the highest
score in the Destination X game.

Congratulations, Roel De Wever.

You also win the luxurious life
and the cash prize of 10,000 euros.

We still need to take a selfie.

What?
- A selfie?

A selfie?
- Where are we going to do that?

Here, in the cocoon.
- Everyone come here.

Okay, we can do that.
- Yes.

Between the legs.
- Dorientje here.

There?

Yes, Gino. Jump on it.
- I'll tilt it a bit.

We can't all fit in there.
- Can you zoom out more? 0.6.

One, two, three, X mark.
- Destination X mark.

Alright, here we go.

I think I am in the same place
as at my exit.

Hello.
- Oops, that doesn't sound good.

Where can I go for some fun? To the right?
- Scooch, scooch.

Dear passengers. You had to place
your X for the last time.

Those who could place their X
within a radius of one kilometer,

can participate again.

Unfortunately, no one was correct.
- Phew.

The Beer Castle in Ingelmunster.
- Ingelmunster?

No one placed their X
within a distance of less than one kilometer

from this last location.

But I admit,
it was particularly challenging

to correctly guess this location.

However, the biggest clue
was right in front of them

on the table.

Dear fellow travelers,
I want to thank you

for being such a fantastic group
during this very first Destination X.

You were truly a joy
to have on this trip.

Unfortunately, all that's left for me now

is to say so long, farewell,
auf Wiedersehen, goodbye,

and ask you to please
immediately exit the bus.

All right.
- Thank you.

Thank you.
- That's it.

Yes.
- Goodbye, guys.

Betty, Xavier.

Taking my leave for now.

Bye, Xavier.

Xavier, Betty.

After you, madam.

That's it.
- That's it.

Weird.
- Yeah, super weird.

A round of applause for Xavier?
A small round of applause.

Group hug.
- Okay.

And so ends the journey
for the eleven candidates.

Their adventure has truly come to an end

and the bus departs
towards the next destinations.

Dear viewer, from your couch
you have been searching along with us

on bestemmingx.be for the past few weeks.

But maybe now you also
have a desire for the real thing.

Well, for those viewers, I have good news.

Because the bus is empty again and we are
looking for new passengers.

Do you feel like embarking on this insane adventure?

Then sign up now on vtm.be.

But that's not all.

Because the seat behind the wheel
of this bus has become available.

Do you dare
to change your career

and have you ever dreamed of
traveling through Europe

as the driver of a double-decker like this,

then also apply as a candidate
on www.bechauffeur.be.

And who knows, you might be touring
through Europe next season with our experienced driver.

Let's get started.

The last one, yes.

It's getting crazier and crazier.

We left on a FlixBus.

Soon, all the candidates will pass by here.

Then I get goosebumps,
and the whole engine starts running.

They couldn't just go pee outside.

That way we can keep an eye on all 33 cameras.

We did win in Austria. Unfortunately.

Yes, it was really...

The first letters of those songs
form a sentence.

You are in Slovenia today.

I found that quite amusing.
