Each round the contestant made it through without the panelists guessing their talent earned them bigger and better prizes. A panel of Nickelodeon celebrities, which frequently included All That cast members Amanda Bynes, Lori Beth Denberg, Kevin Kopelow, and Danny Tamberelli, try to guess a fill-in-the-blank phrase describing the contestant’s secret talent or skill. The highlight of the network’s annual Kid’s Choice Awards started here.
Nickelodeon and getting slimed are synonymous with each other.
Nickelodeon changed the show to Global GUTS, featuring kids from all over the world, and in 2008, the network attempted to reboot it with a family-focused team version called My Family’s Got GUTS. Mike O’Malley (yes, Kurt Hummel’s dad on Glee) made a memorable impression as host. The challenge was essentially the Golden Snitch of the competition - 725 points went to the first successful finisher, which virtually guaranteed victory regardless of the score going into the task. Contestants raced up a fake mountain, activating targets along the way and fighting their way to the peak. The most famous GUTS challenge was its fifth and final task - the Aggro Crag. Taking the Olympics as its model and even handing out gold, silver, and bronze medals, GUTS put kids in harnesses and asked them to do things like jump off an aerial bridge and try to make a slam dunk. In the early 2000s reality shows that pushed contestants to their physical limits were all the rage ( Fear Factor, Amazing Race, etc.), but Nickelodeon GUTS did it first with its “extreme arena” that pitted three teenagers (blue, red, and purple) against each other in extreme versions of popular sports.
