Barmageddon
What's the Story?
Set in country singer Blake Shelton's bar and restaurant named Ole Red, BARMAGEDDON features celebrity friends facing off in over-the-top bar games. While Carson Daly tends bar, Nikki Bella pits celebs like Trace Adkins, Gwen Stefani, and Kane Brown against each other in friendly rounds of "Keg Curling," "Drunken Axe Hole," and other fun favorites. The musical singalongs featuring Shelton and other celebs also offer rowdy good times.
Is It Any Good?
The lighthearted series features celebs playing bar games that have been given an extra twist to make it more appealing for TV viewers. Mixing in humorous (and sometimes acerbic) banter between guests, and the musical performances, creates an atmosphere that will make viewers stick around. This makes sense, given that the series also serves as an entertaining promotional vehicle for Shelton's restaurant, a popular bar and performance space in the Nashville area. But Barmageddon's overall vibe is positive, and will prove to be entertaining for those looking for some silly adult entertainment.
