Amazon Freevee has greenlit a new show that brings all your favorites from the far reaches of reality TV in The GOAT. And honestly, it looks like a shit show that I will consume just as I have with every season of Love is Blind and Too Hot to Handle. Because where there is reality TV, there is gold. But apparently, there is also more of Love is Blind season 1 royalty Lauren Speed-Hamilton too.
According to Variety, The GOAT comes from the producers of The Bachelor, The Office, and FBoy Island. (Just let that combination sink in and think about how Dwight Schrute would do in all of these. He would dominate.) The reality series will see “14 reality TV celebrities competing in a series of mental, physical, and social challenges for the sake of winning the “greatest of all time” title.” And as if this series couldn’t get more unhinged, Daniel Tosh from Tosh 2.0 is going to be hosting.
This season’s cast includes the lovely Lauren Speed-Hamilton, Tayshia Adams, Joe Amabile, Kristen Doute, Reza Farahan, CJ Franco, Wendell Holland, Teck Holmes, Justin Johnson/Alyssa Edwards, Paola Mayfield, Da’Vonne Rogers, Joey Sasso, Jason Smith, and Jill Zarin. The question is, where is Cameron? Ain’t no way he didn’t audition for this show and there’s no way that the producers of this series didn’t think, “Let’s put these two together because people will absolutely tune in to watch them win challenges.”
Freevee, for those who don’t know about them, currently includes more than 250 channels in the U.S. across thematically programmed channels, exclusive original channels from Freevee and Prime Video, and syndicated channels with partners including FOX Weather and Vevo. Their programming includes Judy Justice, Bosch: Legacy, and is will be seeing Prime Video shows like Reacher, The Wheel of Time, and others to its service. Basically, if you haven’t heard about them before, you will now.
