Hot Wheels: Ultimate challenge

I had high hopes for the show and maybe it will come around. The first episode was a bit weak, especially when the one contestant really didn't seem to have much say in what her car looked like since the body kit was already there.

And one of the 'experts' commented that an issue with the wheelie car could be that it could twist under all the torque. The problem is rear wheel drive cars can twist the body/frame under massive torque because the engine is in the front and the wheels in the back so the driveshaft is twisting against the body/frame. His build had the engine right next to the differential, not much distance to twist.

I played with Hot Wheels back in the 60's as a kid, I still remember the excitement of getting a new car or setting up the track. Fast forward 50+ years and now there is a TV show, and a lousy one at that. From the get go, you can tell that the emotions, the reactions and just about everything else is "staged". Everything is "played up" and over exaggerated. I'm guessing it's for the sake of ratings, but it is almost comical watching and listening to the responses and reactions. This is not a reality show, even the short commercials and previews shown are way over the top. But at the end of the day, would I buy ANY of these so called "Hot Wheels"? HELL NO!!! I'd actually be surprised if NBC let them finish out the season.

I was so excited that they had made a got wheels show, but this show was so poorly put together, from the horrible judges that complained about everything and chose the car they would complain about the most as the winner, down to the rigged winners with the most basic built cars, every episode was a disappointment and I hope if they make a second season they change everything and actually make it watch able, And the grand final was far from grand, the car that won was the least worthy of the title, the car that come 3rd should have been the winner. The entire show just feels liked Biased minority driven rubbish.

I was really looking forward to this, and the previews gave such high expectations. I've watched the first two episodes hoping for some great, amazing cars, but am still waiting. I really wish they could've, would've gotten some true expert car fabricators and could spend a couple weeks in a true fabrication shop, rather than bolting on pre-made pieces and basically unfinished cars. And my biggest gripe is that they never attempt to start the cars and try to drive them. I can guarantee that none of these vehicles could drive a city block without falling into a pile of parts. One vehicle was meant to do a wheelie, but instead of taking out and actually doing one, they jack it up with a hydraulic wheelie machine. I'm still planning to watch if possible to see what poor constructions they put together.

Hahahahaha. Are you kidding Me??? What a waste of airtime. This show couldn't be any worse if it tried. If it makes past one season I'd be shocked.

The cars are horrible, the actors are horrible. It's 2023 and you can't come up with anything better than this nonsense?

Id like to know who came up with this monstrosity of a show. Please don't waste your time. Change the channel and find something more productive and or entertaining to watch.

I can't believe I'm evening reviewing it but I hope To save someone an hour of their day. Watcher beware.

Best of luck getting lit for season two. Haha.
