Not long after Hotdogs was evicted from the Big Brother house, he signed a deal with Network Ten for his own show. The show, “The Uplate Game Show” would take the place of “Big Brother Uplate” that was hosted by Mike Goldman.
While Big Brother was running, Uplate with Mike Goldman worked. He would talk about the day that just passed, show snippets of what happened during the day and live feeds from the house. While that was going on, there were also little brain teaser type games being played – an anagram game for instance.
This however, is in stark contrast to The Uplate Game Show. One of the primary reasons it worked with Mike Goldman, was the audience were watching to find out about the craze that is Big Brother. Unfortunately for Hotdogs, he doesn’t have any of that – which leaves him with pointless games and his lack luster hosting ability.
The last couple of times I’ve seen it before going to bed, he is calling people that have registered on his list. Problem is, the show is that boring that once they register they don’t watch it again. Last night again, he called three people who were in bed, the call went something like this (my emphasis and paraphrasing):
Hotdogs: HI!!!!, this is Hotdogs from the Uplate Game show!!!11one
Them: umm, heelllloo.. who is it again..?
Hotdogs: Its Hotdogs!!!!11one, did you register on the Uplate Game Show list????
Them: umm, sorry.. you’ll have to speak a little slower
Hotdogs: The Uplate Game Show, did you register???
Them: umm, no I didn’t.. maybe it was my daughter but she has been in bed for 3 hours already
Hotdogs: well I guess I don’t get to give away a prize tonight then
Them: nope, sorry.
If that isn’t bad enough, imagine the worst TV host you can. Now imagine them on TV for an hour and a half a night, with absolutely no content to discuss at all. It isn’t an entertainment show, he doesn’t discuss any current events at all – its just him, his Uplate list (that no one is awake for), the crap games and him babbling for the whole thing repeating himself over and over.
I can’t believe that the show is on TV, it is appalling.
They should put some chicks on there for him to go tune one after another… worked for him on BB, even I watched him walk from the sauna dry humping one chick, to the lounge room floor hooking up with another, completely denying having anything to do with the first chick!
i think the uplate game show is awesome, so kiss my ass you poof. there is nothing wrong with it.
wanker
You are entitled to your own opinion.
Unfortunately in this case, your opinion is not worth a pinch of shit.
Al.
Hotdogs sucks, but he has got nerve doing that show every night. It is so boring… are real people winning the prizes????
So, this person, signing his name as “wanker” =), obviously has undeniable evidence to the contrary of this post…
Quote “I think the uplate game is awesome”… “There is nothing wrong with it”…
Signed, wanker.
Seems a bit one sided to me..
Ya…i wouldn’t go as far as to say that the show is awesome….person a.k.a wanker…
i do think the show is crap, but if ya wanna win money desperately ya should watch it….Hotdogs won’t win Personality of the Year, but he is doing ok for the crap format he has to work with. I feel sorry for him more than anything ’cause having this as ur tv hosting debut is like a being a goldfish swimming around wif a huge long crap stuck to it’s little fishy sphinter. At least what’s his name got a role on Neighbours..a quarter of a step higher in prestige than this show….which is saying a lot ;-)
Although i feel sorry for him, it is fun to watch someone die in the ass on live tv nite after nite…continually ringing ppl in bed who can’t B bothered watching it but registered for the prizes…classic
what happened 2 him lately…some other dude “wif a face for radio” is doing it…
Yeah, I was wondering where he had went, and googling the show, this was the first thing that came up. And I’m back to see if anything’s happening.. -sigh-
Hotdogs is back tonight.. yay.. -rolls eyes-
Errr… He is very bad under presure as i saw tonight (22nd). People ask him a simple question and he cant come up with a straight answer (something like, “im doing… fantastically well” when he said before he wasnt feeling that good. He should have at least taken some class on how to control a live situation. He babbles on and cant find the right words at the right time. certainatly isn’t ready for tv as of yet. He should stick to his day job for now.
GOD HE SUCKED TODAY, the last person was way better than him, and he wasn’t good either. I was pissing myself laughing at how bad he was.
My grandmother could be more entertaining than him.
And she’s DEAD!
Haa…

dave

but i reckon 4 hotdogs 2 be doin the show ids awesome coz he is hot as and i reckon his funny as well so ive run out of things 2 say blah blah blah bye bye i whatch his show still though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well as awkward as Hotdogs sometimes seems, he’s giving things a go!
The Uplate Game Show has bugger all ‘content’, Channel Ten’s producers haven’t given him much scope to create genuine interest in anything!
9/10 up & go hosts would not do any better with what is on offer. A terrible lack of thought from the watchers point of view – though I’m sure the bastards are making money – What a ridiculous scam channel Ten.. Shameful!
scam? is it a scam?
Funny how the hotdogs enthusiasts also appear to be illiterate idiots.
I just flicked over to channel 10. It’s 12:24. No hotdogs.
Could it have been cancelled?????
Oh let’s hope so.
I’m getting really fucking sick of seeing spelling mistakes on that show.
I swear, if I see the wrong “your” one more time, I’m ringing up and yelling at that dickhead.
Here is my favourite over emphasised and paraphrased moment on the show:
Hotdogs: Oh here’s a funny story! Ha ha! I was walking down the street.. Ha ha.. and I saw a stone and I picked it up.. haha.. and when I looked at it, it was the shape of an H.. haha… H for Hotdogs.. Haha… I spent the rest of the day looking for the rest.. Haha…
Then someone rings up.
Hotdogs: Haha! Hey there!!! Have YOU ever found a stone that had the same shape as the first letter of your name?? HAHA!?
Caller: Uh.. I just want my $200
Hotdogs: Ok!! Haha! What’s the ANSWER! HAHA!
Caller: 12?
Hotdogs: Is it TWELVE?? (He does that for every right answer.. He says “is it…” and then YES IT IS!) YES IT IS!!!!!!!
Ugh.. Get a new presenter. I wish I could listen to Tim from BB talking..
now there is an idea – give tim a show. i mean, wasn’t he a professional journalist? the man can actually talk!
god it must sting to see that jock wanker hotdogs get 2 hours on tv.. the man who wouldn’t let someone use his real name because ‘then everyone will’, and he’s all about.. hotdogs. or rather ‘that’s what hotdogs is all about’ he’s one of those guys, y’know, the ones that refer to themselves in the third person, to try and spread their fun-loving image. i guess if they talk about themselves like they’re interesting, maybe someone else will start thinking that they are actaully interesting.
and check out his fans, the sterling examples of modern intellect above who actually think this is the offical hotdogs site!! yes, i’m look at you girl – the one with http://dunowhatthismeans as your website. (and i’m sure you don’t) ;)
All of you should listen to the Fox Hamish and Andy Hotdogs podcasts.
U’ll piss urself laughing at how random and stupid he is.
Download iTunes from http://www.apple.com.au/itunes
and then subscribe going to Advanced -> subscribe to pod cast and paste in this text -> http://www.fox.com.au/rss.xml and press okay. It should get ya the Fox FM podcasts, then look for the hamish/andy hotdogs update podcast.
Cos its a pay out of Hotdogs big time!
hehehe =p
I’d looooove to hear Tim talk every night.
I downloaded all his radio interviews after he left the house and I listen to them all the time. He is so good at filling up silences, and he says things that are so true, and funny, and interesting..
It’s like Hotdogs is his exact opposite.
Boring, and annoying, and stupid. Ugh.
I want Tim. =(
Hey ,
i love this gameshow…hotdogs was my favourite housemate in big brother, and i cant get enough of his show, its great entertainment and enjoyable to watch.
Keep watching ppl
hey hotdogs, u r hot
kiss me 4eva mwa mwa, till im not here
gotta go, see you soon
Hey
i love watching hotdogs game show, hotdogs was my favourite housemate ever out all of the big brother series, its great entertainment and very enjoyable to watch
Keep Watching Guys
:)
Hey , lol
I LUV HOTDOGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, U ROK…UR MY IDOL..
I’ve seen it a few times and I think the show is a clever idea. It would defiantly target people working a boring graveyard shift. If I had reason to be up at that time of night with nothing to do I’d call aswell!
I work with someone who has won money on it more than once. Her view is that 55c for the phone call is nothing compared to the $250 or $100 she won and she has recieved payment for both.
Also I think Hotdogs does a good job. I couldn’t talk to a camera for over an hour without saying ‘um’ every two seconds!
omg i cant beleeve some ppl are saying its gay hotdogs rocks, i luv him, hes so hot…hes the best..xxx
Hmm this show is fucking hillarious , ive personally never seen such LOWGRADE shit on tv , its like watching television in conceptual 2 bit resolution , the game is rigged if you do get in to register it will take you hundreds of calls , if you pass the second selection process , at 55cents a call (and exactly just how much higher from mobiles?) even if you win the poultry amount of money offered it wont cover the cost of the calls.. i tend to think the dudes whoever they are running and funding this show are making a CRAP load of money off these 1902 call services and then consider just how many people could be calling , its really not very good odds..
but its a pisser to see how much television has regressed over the years..
CHEAP SHOWS = LOTS OF MONEY for the financiers of the show
how much do you think HOTDOGS makes per night to do such a show?
i bet its less than the amount of money he’s giving away each night
But then again lets face it , he’s hardly any kind of REAL celebrity or star or actor..
cheapest overheads ever
apart from the ten late night news set :D
oi if ppl are saying bad stuff bout this show, then its as simple as not watching it, and wasting ur time talking bout it on the website..get over it….its a fun show…hay its different if its on at 3 in the afternoon but its at late at night so most ppl wouldnt care…watch something else if u dont like it
Well from the impression I get, most people aren’t watching it repeatedly. Clearly if someone is registering their details and he is constantly calling people and waking them up or not getting a response, then he isn’t captivating enough to hold an audience.
Well its offical big Tim F rang Hot Dogs on Friday night and got the big “sorry you have not been selected for the game show”
Honestly I thought my friends would know better….but the word is he was waiting for cops ;).
Personally I still have not seen the show at all, so I am withholding judgement…BUT given the nature of the person(& the gay nick name) and the fact it is on channel 10, who in all honesty really only has big Sandra and the simpsons going for it…..it must be shit…
Mmm Sandra
************* HoTdOgS*************
Ah, law and order has it’s good bits too. Lol.
Yeah I just had a really bad night, and I have to say, seeing someone win the bonus board cheered me up at least a LITTLE..
But it’s annoying to hear him repeat the same lines and jokes over and over to fill in uncomfortable silences…
Still… I feel a bit better now..
How much money is Channel 10 making on this show? At 55c a call, where most of those calls dont even get you registered, and its not like you can call when you know an answer (well, I say know, but all the games are SO ambiguous as to not actually have a definitive answer…they can just say that anything is the right answer whenever they want to).
Regardless of how poor the quality of the show/host is, really, its just a money-making project, good one Channel 10. Bring back The Panel and make some ADVERTISING money….
Hotdogs is boring and extremely repetative!!! The honest truth is that when I can not sleep, I turn on his show and listen to him talk for about 5 mins and my eyes start to close in. Hotdogs is a sleeping pill!!!!
Is it 44 ?!?………..yes its 44!…you have won $200 (hotdogs forgot to metion that the poor idiot that called probably just paid that amount or close to it, calling and leaving her details on 1902 555 222). I believe that hotdogs is working on comission!! Hey and whats up with the popcorn on the desk?? such a tacky show!!!
I have tuned into this show on a number of occasions to try and win some cash. Talk about revenue raiser. On each occasion I tried approx 5 times and not once have I been choosen.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!! You call this a game show?
Zrya,
No, I’d call it a raught.
Al.
For gods sake, how can anyone watch this crap. I’m shocked that it has lasted this long, why hasn’t it been cancelled? Whilst i was in away last week, I heard on the radio talk show a discussion about his show. I’d say the funniest comment was that a fucken 3 year old could run the show a hell of a lot better. He has no personality, is utterly boring, repetative, and goes on about crap all.
There are thousands of shows we dont get in Australia, I’m sure we could much better benifit from a show that has meaning, that we can actually sit down and enjoy. If channel 10 is wondering why their rating has dropped and channel 7 is number 1, maybe they should wake up and realise that crap shows like this will only give more people a bad perception of channel 10.
I know at this time their are far more entertaining movies on SBS and ABC, but c’mon is this what Australian Tv has ended up as after all this time?
Hotdog’s your sleazy, boring, and just annoying, get off the damn network and do something productive, tv is not for you, PS, i know there are a few little immature teens on here who love the show, but seriously whats to love?

Hotdogs has nothing educational or even half interesting to say whilst on the show. he repeatedly talks about himself and that new bonus board thing has his face on it…sad!! I feel sorry for the guy in a way bacause it must be really lonely being him, to have to resort to such a show, but still good on him say for at least giving it a go. I am confused as to why the guy continually calls himself ‘hotdogs’ at the age of 27, i mean dont you think its time to add some class into your personality and use your given name ‘simon’. I am at a loss as to what the @#!% he is being paid to do (other than chat to himself, about himself).
i think that the uplate game show is probaly one of the best game shows that has ever been telecasted in australia hotdogs is a great host and does a great job i just wish it was on a little earlier
i would also likwe to add all the idiots out there that are saying hotdogs cant host the shiow are complete morons and thjey should be the ones dead
hotdogs u are one of the stupidest presenters the world has ever seen
Peter – AKA Hotdogs !! ….lmao
Hey dogs its Anthony Ryan here and i was just letting you now that when you were away sick me and my mum rang up and got through about six times. We left al details required but still didnt a phone call back so hopefully we can ring and get through tonight BYE
Why is it even on tv is SA WA and NT??
Not like we can play the games!!!
Anyways, join me in complaining to channel 10.
They eventually have to listen.
