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.
lol, like i have said before this is the worst TV show on TV EVER!! The only reaosn people watch as someone said is to try and make a quick buck and thats why he has solid ratings, all the same if i was Hotdogs and had that on my resume i would get rid of it as anyone who sees it will laugh at him.
this show sux, it is the worst tv show ever and the people who ring up their phone bill would probably be higher than the amount they won
go hotdogsss….btw wtf, that guy that sed theres a few immature teens…grow up and watch something else then
the show may suck, but im over $2200 richer, hahaha suck it!!
OOOOK can i just say simon (cause i refuse to call a 27yo man ‘Hotdogs’) is the most BORING person i have ever seen. It’s not just the repetitive statements or the lame ass jokes (that frankly, im sure no one even laughs to) OR the talking about himself like he’s an actual Celebrity or even anyone remotly famous, but the highly annoying parts of the show that he just sits and stares at the gameboard (which for him is just to turn his eyes to the left) and pretends to figure out the answer by moving his lips in an attempt to convince the viewers hes doing so, either that or he’s suffering a mild seizure or trying to crank his brain up.
I’ve sat there several times thinking he can’t possibly sit there any longer and do that but noooo he just keeps going….it makes me wonder what kind of idiot at chan 10 pays a man for sittin on his ass just to stare at a screen and say nothing….do nothing…and just embarrass himself…..
And before those ppl who absolutly love simon say ‘well if you dont like it dont watch it’….let me just say that its a damn side more entertaining (i’d rather watch a full grown man embarrass himself on supposedly national TV…which i dunno why seein most states/Territory cant play) then sitting and watching testamonials for pimple cream, pilates….and motivational speakers.
How can you keep ringing up at 55c tobe told you are not registered Mean while hotdogs is pleading for someone to ring up. I think its time john laws or a current affairs are contacted. WHAT A RIP OFF MOONDOGGY
Hi there,
Can anyone pls tell me what was the first question on the show on the 5/11 mid night? which related to snake, rabbit, bird and cat, i forgot the last bit of the question, how many legs there?
many thanks
hey,

Catchas bruzzas
Uplate game show is for people with no life as it is kindergarden stuff, hotdogs needs a medal to be able to trawl his way through so much crap in one night, it is full of dribble. Gee it must of taken u guys at uplate a full minute to come up with such a dull boring concept, if you are going to rip people off, by making so much money from tossers ringing up why dont you make the show interesting, oh and by the way lets hope we have seen the last of rove live now he is a toss
hey dogs i think u should call me up every night i get home from work at 12:30pm i am awake watching ur show i call all the time but cant get called back lol
The show is soo bad it’s actually good, its always nice to have a laugh if I can’t sleep….you gotta give this guy credit, he is pretty hopeless and he knows it and the material he has to work with is so poor I just don’t know how he gets the courage to get up in front of the camera and make a fool of himself knowing everyone is laughing at him.
I guess he must be getting paid quite a bit for compensation for being such a big plonker on TV.
BTW, why are girls leaving messages for Hotdogs on this site? you girls are just mirror images of HOTDOGS, lights are on but nobody’s home!
How can a man with nothing between his ears generate so much discussion, when Tim was well spoken and educated, he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth…IT’S JUST SO WRONG!
hot dogs i a f******* poof he needs to get a decent fukin job and a life what a borin bloody show, i d rather watch my 8 year old brothers video collection off wiggles videos god damit hotdogs what kind of name is hotdogs ne way who gave him that nick name he bum buddy he s a bloody pillow biter
hotdogs is a massive tool, cancel his garbage show and fill it with static.
Dear loyal fans,
Thankyou for sticking up for me here. The show is great, maybe some of the people here that dislike it should give me a few hints as to what i should be doing if they are so enlightened.
Anyway, signing off
Hotdogs
My tip is to stop begging for callers, even though ive called bout 20 times and still cant get thru!
HEY HOTDOGS
you and your show suck balls I MADE 690 CALLS AND YOU THINK I CAME EVEN CLOSE TO EVEN GETTING ON YOUR STUIPD GAME SHOW IT IS SO FUCKING LAME AND YOU MUST HAVE TO CALL MORE THAN I DID JUST TO GET ON IT! IT IS SO FUCKING RIGDED ITS NOT FUNNY I HATE YOU HOTDOGS YOUR LAME BORRING AND YOUR SO NOT FUNNY SO PLEASE GET OFF CHANEL 10 AND PUT ON SOMETHING A LITTLE LESS BORRING AND I VOTED FOR YOU IN BB AND IM GLAD YOU LEFT YOUR A FUCKING PIG AND THE WAY YOU TREAT PEOPLE IS NO BETTER YOU SUCK
^Ditto
Rachel…where do i start.
First off, there is a key towards the far left hand side of the keyboard labelled “caps lock”. You should use it.
690 calls? you counted everyone or are you just making up a highly exaggerated number?
“ITS NOT FUNNY I HATE YOU HOTDOGS YOUR LAME BORRING”
I will redo this sentence so it makes sense, ok?
“It’s not funny, I hate you hotdogs you’re lame and boring”
At least i can pull a sentence together…
Anyway rachel when people like you complain in that manner it makes me look good, keep up the good work!!!
Hotdogs is giving it a go and honestly who can talk for an hour and a half to no one?
Umm not very many people. Give him a chance!
Chloe
Thanks Chloe, it appears to me taht anyone that does not like my show is just an idiot.
Hotdogs
Hotdogs,
your almost as repetative and annoying as the infomercials, I cant belive you are still on the air, its rediculous. In my opinion, you should have been kicked off the air months ago, anyways big brother is not much better and i have a feeling once its back your gone. Channel 10 sux and so do you. Get a real job or just quit the uplate show either way i’ll be happy. Peace
i think that uplate show is bull shit i have called so many times and now other people that have a not once have they called back,
whats the deal are they real or what…..
I reckon Hotdogs needs a lesson or 2 on how 2 Host live TV shows… I must admit he can b an ok host at times.. but then theres the other times when he tries 2 get all serious n goes silent n just stares offscreen 4 a while as if hes trying his hardest 2 work out the answers. That is not at all entertaining 2 watch.. just plain boring shit. There’s also moments when the show comes back from an ad-break and 4 a few seconds ‘The Dogs’ has no idea that hes back on air n is like having a laugh with the producer or sumthing. But yeh neway…if u like all that..then good 4 u.
Catch
hey hot dogs i think ur show is great and it keeps me entertained late at night. a few pointers could be given to the show but to host a show lyk that for an hour and a half would be pretty hard so i give u credit so keep up the good work
oh hotdogs can u put a picture of u on google or sumthing cause i wanna put u as my display picture on msn but i cant find a picture of u keep up the good work
happy xmas and a happy new year too bad i cant ring 1900 numbers but u rock anyway have a great break u deserved it bye luv ya
i was watchin the show couple of months ago and dickhead cockface (hotdogs) started telling a story “last night i went out to dinner with my flatmates parents…..(he goes on about pointless shit)…..i tried telling some jokes but noone laughed”, geez i wonder the F%#K why, how could an unfunny cockface like hotdogs get laughs, execpt of course people laughing at how crap his show is!
He isn’t replacing Mike Goldman, this show has no connection to Big Brother other than the format and host. Dont worry, Mike will be back to hosting the REAL Uplate show next season.
Hotdogs doesnt cut it as a host, well not for a live show anyway. The show needs to be either completely retuned or taken off the air. His spotlight has long been done, no one knows him as “That dickhead from Big Brother” but now as “That dickhead that comes on before the Danoz Direct/Proactive infomercials”. I lose sight on where he is going when he starts telling stories and his jokes suck (if they could even classify as ‘jokes’). Im not judging the man himself but then again we did see him for months on BB and the “QLD nightclub” scandal doesnt help his image as ‘a nice guy’.
Has anyone else noticed that the “random” choice of contestants seem to be always young women?
Mike will never get replaced, you dont have to be a fan of Big Brother to enjoy the Mikes show. Cant wait for it to return.

Good fortune has meant that I have had to endure even one second of that SHIT show that everyone seems to love-to-hate so much. Mike G is a mate of mine and has done a hell of a lot more funny things off-air than on it. So, my purpose of blabbing on is to say, start a war with your neighbours, throw eggs at taxis, sneer at the cops (the same way they sneer at everyone else), stir shit at your work or college, give shit to thick arsed bouncers and dumb security fukwits, and above all pride yourself in knowing that deeper, more accessible and downright funnier shit can be generated in a purely interactive capacity by going nuts – just like Mike does, or did b4 tv. Remember it’s authority that desrerve our ire, so heap the shit on and start the real fun by GETTING our of your LOUNGEROOMS! Also, check out $5 all-you-can-touch at the Caberet Club in seedy Fortitude Valley, brisbane.
Hotdogs needs something to go with his show like discussing random stuff out of the news or even better, as suggested above, get some random girls on there to play and let him tune them live for a laugh.
Mike should replace Gretel or host the main shows with her. Mike is so much more entertaining to watch.
I think Gretel is an idiot and comes across as a bit of a tart, but I will give her that she is extremely good at her job, she has dealt with some situations on that show far better than I ever would be able to.
please people. the whole games show is a big con to get you to part with your cash via your phone bill. just watch and see how long it takes then to take calls the higher the prize money gets for each game. EG: $100 game prize, he takes calls faily quick $350 game prize, he takes ages. this is because when you ring to get through on a game you are constantly told you have not been succsesfull in getting through and so you try again. each call costs i think its 50c or something so the more you ring the more it costs you. so if nobody rang he would be ripped off the air within a week because no one would be calling to fund the prizes. hence the show is a rip off. you the people end up paying for your own cash prize. lmfao
Hi every 1 the show is awsome somedays and shit the neext but i have won $1350 from that show 1 night and $450 the week after so its not a scam so all u shit heads who thinks the show its shit and its easy to win prizes.
If it has no followers than why is it still on the air so long after big bro has finished ? Also if you dislike it and the Dogs so much why do you watch it and why the hell are you looking for it on the net ?????
I just want to say Dogs you are a sweety and you ROCK .
It’s a great show, I mean it’s the only show that is even remotely good at that time of the day.
oh yeah, hotdogs is a great guy for the job.

Welcome to the representative of the fans of Hotdogs.
I search for Hotdogs and his show because I’m hoping to whatever God there is that I’m not the only one gagging at his pathetic face.
It is, however, lovely to be amongst a group where the intelligent ones are on my side, and the unintelligent ones are calling Hotdogs a “sik kunt”, which, literally means an ill (sick), diseased and infected vagina (cunt).
-sighs contentedly-
Oh, and just a point I thought someone would find interesting.
For those people who are saying “why are you here if you hate Hotdogs…” Or, rather “y r u hear if u h8 teh DOgZ!!LOLZZ!!!”
If you’ll just have a look at what this page is BASED on, you’ll see that it actually started OFF as anti-hotdogs.
Which means YOU are in the wrong place.
So sod off back to the greasy holes you crawled out of and go back to worshipping his royal wanker-face-ness.
hotdogs is the most perfetic name and not to menchin his up late game show sucks to the shit house. his so up himself, i would prefer mike from up late big brother. his so more fun to watch. HOTDOGS IS A LOSER AND SUCKS COCK.
You all have soooooo much to say. If it pisses you off don’t watch it, I think he has guts to get on do his job and take all the crap from people like most of you. I say go hot dogs you are doing a great job I watch you every night and I loved you in Big Brother you looked after my fav Christie she is a little doll hope your still looking after her.
I am the Technical Manager on the show and yes I have to admit he can be annoying but then again you do not have to watch.
The game was meant to be watched by people who particapate.
He is the one laughing in the end, making money from a few hours of talking shit every night. Wish I had a job like that!
i like the show its cool. i love laughing at all the people that say the wrong answer!!
Well, obviously since Shelly loved Christie, she’s not the full quid.
Therefore, her opinion doesn’t matter.
we love ur show its so awesome we always stay up late 2 watch it !
we like the games n we wanna win sum money!!
Cya hotdogs!
Well i get pissed about every second night and i enjoy havin a bit of a laugh watching it, believe it or not i dont think hotdogs is dumb, i think the contestants are, the only time they get an answer right is after a billion clues have been shoved in their face
Well Loz n haylz, I hope you realise Hotdogs doesnt actually read this forum, actually, can he read at all. Well his attempt at the teleprompter on his show is obvious
You know i think your right about the Billions of clues, but you know what can you do hes doing the best he can, its not his fault people dont get it! I think its great that he comes in night after night I mean he works 6 nights a week that would like totaly distroy your life, 12:30 till 2 sleep all day then back to work, it would be hard to fit in a lot more. But you know some people just get through with one phone call and without any clues (like me) i won $200 the other night
The crap thing about the show is that if you get through and win (like me) you have to wait and i quote “please allow up to 30 days for your check to go through” i think thats a little over the top 5 days max we’re only trying to get $350 not a million
SHIMBLES….. I DETECT A BIT OF JEALOUSY ON YOUR PART.. SO IF YOU THINK IM NOT THE FULL QUID TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK IN THE MIRROR LOVE AND YOU WILL SEE YOUR A NO ONE AND DONT SCARE YOUR SELF WHEN YOU SEE THE TRUTH… GO HOTDOGS AND KEEP PISSING THEM OFF I LOVE IT… YOUR DOING GREAT… AND SHIMBLES NO NEED TO BE A THICK HEAD OR AS YOU SAY NOT THE FULL QUID. GO CHRISTIE GO HOT DOGS….
HI JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY ONE OUT THERE HAS A FAN SITE FOR CHRISTIE I CANT FIND ONE SORRY HOTDOGS YOUR ONE I FOUND THANKS HEAPS TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ….
