Ryan and Adam Thomas Launch New ITV Game Show “99 to Beat”
Brothers Ryan and Adam Thomas have embarked on a new venture, hosting ITV’s latest Saturday-night entertainment show, “99 to Beat.” The program features 100 contestants engaging in quirky and humorous games, all vying for a £25,000 prize. The Thomas brothers describe their presenting style as reminiscent of The Chuckle Brothers, emphasizing lightheartedness and sibling camaraderie.
In “99 to Beat,” participants face a series of simple yet entertaining challenges, with the primary rule being: don’t come last. Each round eliminates the last-place contestant, narrowing the field until a single winner emerges to claim the cash prize. This format ensures that anyone can win, adding to the show’s universal appeal.
The Thomas brothers, known for their roles in popular soaps like “Emmerdale” and “Coronation Street,” have expressed their excitement about this new endeavor. They view “99 to Beat” as the ultimate family show, blending fun, competition, and heartfelt moments. Their transition from acting to hosting marks a significant milestone in their careers, allowing them to showcase their dynamic chemistry and infectious energy.
However, the production has faced challenges. During filming, three contestants were hospitalized due to adverse reactions during a haystack challenge. The Thomas brothers addressed these incidents, acknowledging that injuries are an inherent risk given the physical nature of the tasks. They assured that contestant welfare remains a top priority and that safety protocols have been reinforced to prevent future occurrences.
Despite these setbacks, “99 to Beat” has been positively received, with viewers appreciating its family-friendly content and the engaging dynamic between the Thomas brothers. The show offers a fresh take on the game show genre, combining elements of competition with lighthearted entertainment.
