The Game Show: Heat and Trivia
Hot Ones: The Game Show, a spin-off hosted by the charismatic Sean Evans, adds a fiery twist to the world of trivia. Contestants compete in teams of two, battling through pop-culture questions while devouring scorching hot wings. The final test awaits in “The Ring of Fire,” where teams play a password game in a bid to win the grand prize of $25,000. To commemorate this fiery game show, Hot Ones introduced three new hot sauces: Brain Burner, Eye of the Scorpion, and The Constrictor, each with their own unique Scoville rating.
The Scoville Showdown
Speaking of Scoville ratings, these fiery sauces are not for the faint of heart. On a scale of 1 to 10, Brain Burner brings the heat at an 8, while Eye of the Scorpion takes it up a notch at 9. The Constrictor claims the highest rating at a numbing 10. Initially, official Scoville ratings were not disclosed for these new additions.
