Viewers were left baffled at the start of tonight’s Destination X episode, as it was confirmed that the contestants were currently in Venice. But fans don’t understand how they missed a huge clue that would’ve given the location away.

Last night, contestants were left on a huge cliffhanger, when Josh was given the opportunity to sabotage one player, and move their X back 250km from the point they had guessed.

Josh opted to sabotage Nick, but to his dismay, it was actually Ashvin whose pin was the furthest away, despite Nick having been sabotaged. In a tense moment, Rob Brydon revealed the bottom two had been separated by just 600m.

After all the contestants suspected Josh was the one who had the advantage, it was revealed to the contestants that they were currently in Venice. After being evicted Ash joked: “Oh, that makes sense!”

When he exited the coach, Ash realised the coach was floating on a platform on water. However, in a twist, the contestants were also shown where they were, which left them open mouthed in shock.

As they looked out the window, they realised the coach was floating on the Venice water.

“This is the first time we’ve been sure where we are,” Darren said, as the team congratulated Saskia for being “spot on.”

However, Claire wasn’t best pleased as she told the camera the team had lied to her, and withheld information from her. “Nobody mentioned Venice to me, or to Ash or to Judith,” she explained.

Fans however, were left baffled that there was one huge clue the contestants didn’t spot which would’ve clearly given the destination away.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one penned: “The coach on a floating island is crazy – how did they not feel the water?” while another wrote: “So they didn’t feel the rocking?”

Viewers can also play along at home, but of course, they didn’t have the feeling of the water motion like the contestants may have – although it doesn’t seem as if any of them clocked on to the ‘huge clue’.

With just six players left, it’s not long until the final, where fans will see which player takes home the huge prize fund of £10,000.

The final is set to air on August 28 at 9pm – but who will take home the crown?
