Amazon Prime – or shall we say, Freevee – is taking over te reality television game. The GOAT is the first reality competition show from Freevee, a free streaming service included with Amazon Prime memberships. The new series comes from the production teams behind The Bachelor and FBoy Island, so you know it'll be good, and will be hosted by none other than Daniel Tosh of Tosh.0 (the millennials will remember this man).
The new series will feature 14 reality television celebs coming together to compete in a series of mental and physical challenges, all for the title of “the greatest of all time.” As such, the new series features all very familiar faces, plus a few you may have forgotten about.
Here’s the rundown of everyone you’ll see on the pilot season of Freevee’s The GOAT.
