Reality TV fans, buckle up—because this episode of The Reality Flash is a wild ride! Mike Bloom is joined by two of the sharpest minds in the game, Chappell and Jenny Autumn, to break down the absolute madness that is Hulu’s newest reality series, Got to Get Out, hosted by none other than Simu Liu.

This high-octane show has contestants literally risking it all to escape extreme situations—part game show, part psychological experiment, and 100% chaos. Mike, Chappell, and Jenny are counting down the 10 craziest, most jaw-dropping moments from the premiere season: from plot twists that had us yelling at our screens, to challenges that blurred the line between fear and fun.

💥 Who broke down crying in the middle of a challenge? 💥 Which contestant had a secret alliance that flipped the game? 💥 And what exactly was that final twist no one saw coming?

Plus, we dive into how Simu Liu is handling his unexpected role as host—and let’s just say, Shang-Chi has officially entered his villain era (in the best way possible).

Whether you’ve binged the whole season or you’re just here for the hot takes, you won't want to miss this laugh-packed, spoiler-filled episode.
