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.

‘Nigeria Is at War’ – Rapper N6 Speaks Out Boldly on Rising Violence in Benue and Beyond

Nigerian Rapper Nnamdi Nwabasili famously known as N6 shares his take on the current activities in Nigeria and describes it with a bold claim.
In a viral video, the rapper spoke on the recent violence attacks in Benue State that took the loves of 200 people.
“Let me tell you something, whether you want to accept it or not. Nigeria is at war; Nigerians just don’t know it yet. Nigerians watch so many movies, so they assume a war is like a football match where the two opponents will face themselves and start fighting.
“But in reality, it is not always so. The war has started since 2016/2017. The problem is that most people reside in Lagos, Abuja, and state capitals, so the war hasn’t reached them. But ask people in rural areas. Nigeria is at war. Nigeria has been at war since 2016/2017 officially. Nigerians are just waiting to hear someone officially declare war before they know that they are at war. Hmm.”
