TikTok just discovered the 2003 nightmare reality show, Are You Hot?. The premise of the show is simple: Three judges examine groups of shirtless men and bikini-clad women on a stage in front of a live audience... . and rate their physical features on a scale of one to 10, with 10 being the “hottest”.
