Hot Ones: The Game Show (2020– ) User Reviews

Disgusting !

[jennfinn · 4/10 · 1 April 2020]

The interview show on YouTube is cool but this so-called game show is a HOT mess. It's disgusting to see the contestants with sauce all over their faces and spitting/puking into buckets. The only redeemable thing is the First We Feast part where he's sitting with a celebrity.

Back to YouTube I go

Been watching Hot Ones on YouTube for a few years now. Love the show, love Sean, love the format.

This is just a very obvious, cynical selling out of that winning formula.

Hot Ones has jumped the shark.

Show seems scripted, with the stupid team names, obnoxiousness of the contestants, and lame audience.

Only four episodes in, and one team are drag queens? Maybe they pick the most outrageous people who respond to the show's ads.

Love it on YouTube buuuuuuuuut....

I think the YT series is wonderful but, I couldn't help but want my 30 minutes back (worse because it was recorded on DVR).

I watched two episodes to see if maybe they changed something from the first episode, and even with the few changes it's not enough to keep me recording to fall asleep to. From the production, to the wing master guy yelling into the mic, to the fact that I spent more time fast forwarding through commercials than I did spending time watching the show....... Sorry Tru T.V. but you lost me on this one.

p.s. I sadly felt so strong I created a profile purely to comment on this waste of time. Do yourself a favor, and stick to Sean on YouTube, you will not be let down.

Should have stuck with Youtube...

This show is horrendous. I absolutely love the Youtube interview show, but this format is so bad. Everything from the obviously paid actors in the audience and contestants to the way the questions are structured make this unwatchable.

Hands down the worst game show I've ever seen.

This just isn't it...

[andrewsfresh-97107 · 1/10 · 4 March 2020]

Yeah this shouldn't be a thing.. The YouTube show is incredible, but this misses the spot. By the way, why is this on TruTv, a true crime channel?

Just...terrible

[IKnowGoodFilms · 1/10 · 7 March 2020]

I'm a huge fan of Hot Ones. But....this just is awful. From the presentation to the questions to the entire gimmick...its just totally cringe worthy. And the 'guests' or 'players' ..ridiculously annoying.

Watched 2 episodes; have no interest in ever watching another.

YouTube is much better

[baldymcbaldy-55804 · 1/10 · 20 February 2020]

I love the You Tube show. Great idea and format. This show...wow. I tried to watch the premiere episode. It was painful to watch. Just horrendous. I doubt it will last more than 5 episodes.

good but

[swinn-45899 · 7/10 · 1 October 2020]

Its a very fun show to whatch with a parent or whoever but it gets boring after a few episodes because the show never changes

Disappointing

[LuvHotOnesOnYT · 1/10 · 21 February 2020]

I hope Sean got paid a lot for this mess. Never thought he would be a sellout. Guess I'll stick to the youtube shows and wonder if they are real now. This was so fake I'd give it no stars if possible.

Inconceivable - but fun ---

[cekadah · 10/10 · 27 April 2020]

--- to watch!!

Forget the negative comments here on IMDb and dive into this show. I actually feel sorry for some of the contestants because I believe they don't realize what they signed into doing.

But the show is a hoot to watch and I haven't missed one episode!

This was a mistake..

[marzipansbff · 1/10 · 16 March 2020]

This should never have become a game show. The YouTube series made some sense but this TruTV show honestly shouldn't exist

Just Gross

[emilyc-48406 · 1/10 · 5 April 2020]

I was really excited for this show to come out when I started seeing trailers for it on Hot Ones. I love game shows and hot ones on youtube is amazing so I figured I would watch this show constantly. Then I watched the first episode. The contestants have sauce all over their faces and are trying to vomit and it made me so sick even watching it. The show feels completely forced. I am so disappointed and really hope Hot Ones on Youtube doesn't start to go down hill.

Abysmal...A lesson in overracting Americans

[mdbourke-282-899973 · 1/10 · 7 September 2020]

I hate that this terrible show is potentially damaging the Hot Ones brand. The beauty of the YouTube series is the totally organic approach to both interviews and the consumption of hot wigs. I never thought Sean could ever annoy me, but between him, and those godawful contestants and their attempt to out act each other, I was done after 2 episodes. To those of you who have not seen the YouTube channel, please watch, stop watching this drivel and enjoy the Hot Ones experience as it should be.

Lame..

[shelbedenyse · 2/10 · 31 October 2020]

Should have Stuck with YouTube. The sauces and the amount of money doesn't seem worth it. I wouldn't do the show.

Does anyone remember "Bam"?

[GoodErsatz · 2/10 · 5 September 2020]

"Bam!" You know, like the idiotic catchphrase Emeril *still* throws around? That TV show NBC actually paid money for twenty years ago?!

This show is just pure cringe. Who in Hollywood is throwing tons of money at stupid TV ideas? Call me!

Hilarious

[jmaker-33097 · 10/10 · 27 February 2020]

Down right hilarious mate! Keep up the good work. All these blokes saying it's bad have clearly checked out in life.

Hot ones and behind the scenes

[akisala · 8/10 · 9 March 2021]

So not fake when you see them being sick and complaining to each other....so funny
