08/19/2020 This show is hilarious! You can feel their pain as the sauces get hotter and hotter! Trivia is challenging when your brain is lava. See more 04/25/2020 The YouTube series is entertaining. The game show is just strange, pretty gross watching them eat and manage to get sauce all over their faces, and no interactions among anyone seem legitimate. See more 03/06/2020 Should of just stayed on YouTube I guess... The TV show is just bad, and it seems incredibly sexist and hypermasculine. It's also just looks like complete torture lol and the emts look like they don't really care about anyone's safety. They should just let this one go! See more 03/01/2020 Sean is a great interviewer. Why force silly names for the rounds and a foolish announcer for the sauces on him? The writing is horrible and Sean seems out of his element and stiff. Way to go! Nothing like letting TV fools f-up a perfectly good idea with stagnant gameshow tripe. I'll stick to the normal Hot Ones on YouTube. Better luck next time. See more Read all reviews
