Synopsis
Debating game in which four YouTubers attempt to convince a panel of members of the public to support their argument, the least successful being eliminated in each round and the winner being the last one standing. First round is hot takes in which each contestant puts forward a point of view on a given topic, the second is confessions in which they confess to something they have done in the past (again, on a topic provided) and try to defend it, and the third is indefensible opinions in which the last two contestants each fill in the blank in a statement for their opponent to defend.
Each of the first two rounds is judged by a different group of ten members of the public sharing some characteristic ("geniuses", "teenagers", "aunties", "gym rats" and so on), then all twenty come back to judge the final round. They vote by standing in the coloured lane in front of their favoured contestant's podium and there's some variety in how this is done: in the first round they just vote at the end, in the second they have a preliminary vote after hearing just the confessions, then can change their mind after hearing the defences, and in the final round they can change lanes freely throughout. Although we do occasionally hear from the public judges they could perhaps be used more, and it might be worth considering "questions from the floor" in any future episodes.
