Destination X Finale Awards $250K Prize Amid Finalists’ Alliance, Betrayal

Jeffrey Dean Morgan hosted the reality competition series Destination X, which concluded with professional bird watcher Rick Szabo winning the $250,000 grand prize after a tense finale against pilot Peter Weber and sports bettor Biggy Bailey. Morgan expressed admiration for Rick, highlighting his resilience through personal hardships during the pandemic and his strategic gameplay, including a secret alliance with Peter that blindsided Biggy. The final challenge involved identifying London landmarks, with Rick correctly guessing Big Ben to secure his victory. Morgan, who found the experience of hosting a reality show novel, appreciated getting to play himself and enjoyed observing the contestants' dynamics and strategies throughout the season. The show’s unexpected twists and alliances, particularly between Rick and Peter, created dramatic moments that Morgan noted were difficult yet compelling to watch unfold live. Fans and Morgan alike found Rick's win satisfying, noting his underdog status compared to Peter's later entry and reality TV background.
