Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge

This could have been a cool show but I have no idea what they were thinking. They have a car that has an emotional connection to the contestants and proceed to have them completely change it. Why?

As usual with current TV, this is all about optics and nothing else.

Does it go into any kind of detail about the actual work done on the cars? No.

If a problem in the build comes up , they all stand around and everyone on the show has to worry about it. Why?

Having Terry Crews and Hert doesn't make up for the complete lack of substance in this show. If you are into cars in any way, this probably will be too much like cotton candy when you are in the mod for a steak. Honestly, just watch any of the Hoonigan videos with Hert and you'll be much more satisfied.

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.

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 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.
