Would You Rather: Decide to Survive – Romesh Ranganathan’s gameshow is so low-effort it’s almost avant garde

Prime Video released the gameshow "Would You Rather: Decide to Survive" on June 26, featuring ten online personalities competing in challenges inspired by "would you rather" scenarios. Hosted by Romesh Ranganathan, the show pits two teams against each other in what is described as a "mostly physical elimination contest." The reviewer noted a lack of familiarity with the participating online stars, whose names were compared to MSN Messenger handles, citing examples such as King Kenny, Bambino Becky, Stephen Tries, Elz the Witch, and Chunkz. The show's title, "Decide to Survive," was perceived as misleadingly hardcore, with the reviewer initially expecting a format akin to "SAS: Who Dares Wins" involving intense physical trials and survival elements. Instead, the challenges are presented as ludicrous tasks, contributing to an overall impression of low production value, with the reviewer humorously estimating the budget at "£420 to cobble together." The format aims to translate common conversational hypotheticals into a competitive, albeit low-effort, entertainment spectacle.
