Hilarity and Hijinks

[Ahlephia · 10/10 · 5 March 2022]

A variety live-streamed show filled with fun games, guests from all over the Australian entertainment industry, and movie trivia.

The show centers around host, Richard Lovegrove, who welcomes those watching at home to join in the fun and frivolity by helping out the nights guests in 4 rounds of games, ranging from musical spectacles to mashed-up movie posters.

Each round, the wheel of four tunes (getit?) is spun, revealing a game to played. Guests are awarded points for correct answers, while points are deducted for incorrect answers.

Movie trivia is the forefront of the final tournament, which is 10 multiple choice questions. Ranging through various movie genres and including music and literature, the final tournament is designed for those playing along at home to participate in the interactive game, crowning a winner at the end of the night.

The dynamic between the guests is what gives this show a 10/10 rating. The compatibility of personalities is magic. The fact that we, the audience, also get to learn a few things about upcoming projects the guests are working on, or learning some facts about the arts is an added bonus.

Very entertaining show. Cannot wait to see what happens for them this year.

Australia's Ultimate Interactive Quiz Show

[ghoulfiendsyt · 10/10 · 7 March 2022]

Live-streamed through the lockdowns of NSW, QUIZarenaLIVE became an Australia-wide phenomena with its interactive games and quizzes as well as it's array of guests from all walks of life within the Australian entertainment industry.

From directors like Roger Scott, Robert Woods, and Rachele Wiggins to actors like Steve Maresca and Bel Delia, to comedians like Yianni Agisilaou and David Callan, the show brings people closer together while hocking the latest projects of those who appear as a guest.

Richard Lovegrove is an exceptional host. A cheeky devil with a cunning grin, his charm and charisma shines through. You can tell he really loves what he does. And that smile has only grown with the addition of the QUIZarenaQUEEN, Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons to the cast. (Rhiannon cleaned up season 1, becoming the first ever champion of the show and currently holds the highest score)

The games are entertaining, often combining a love of movies and music. The audience watching are encouraged to play along, assisting the guests with our answers. The final tournament is a 10 multi-choice quiz, penned by Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons, and is designed to name a winner from the audience playing along at home.

Interactive fun, QUIZarenaLIVE is the best way to spend a Thursday night. Especially if you're on the graveyard shift...

Silly, Crazy, Fun

[katemillerdds · 10/10 · 13 March 2022]

I originally began watching this show because of Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons, but the more I tuned in, the more I began to love the show as a whole.

Rhiannon and Richard are the perfect team of hosts and the guests they have on the show are always fun and enjoyable. The guests are often independent artists in the Aussie entertainment industry.

The games are always fun, even if I don't always succeed in them. But the final tournament is perfect for those interacting at home.

Great fun for the whole family. A must see.

Great fun and frivolity

[jordan_mess · 10/10 · 7 March 2022]

If you are a fan of the silver screen, music and the pop culture and trivia behind it QUIZareanaLIVE is a great watch! Richard Lovegrove is a charismatic host and a delight to watch, the joy and connection between himself and guests is infectious.

Would highly recommend watching the Halloween and Christmas specials and participating in the Live Streams to get the most out of the show.

Highly Entertaining

[derrenbrowne · 10/10 · 28 March 2022]

I stumbled across this show thanks to a work colleague and it's been the highlight of my 2022 so far.

The concept is solid; A variety show that mixes pop culture with current entertainment news and movie trivia while introducing audiences to members of the Australian entertainment industry. And it's not just actors or directors. Past guests have been entertainers from all walks of life, promoting a sense of unity and community among the members of the show.

The show is hosted by Richard Lovegrove, an actor/entertainer. Richard has been the host since the first episode and has done a cracking job at enticing viewers to tune in.

Recent episodes have introduced a second host into the mix in the form of Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons, an actress/author and season 1 reigning champion.

These two together have an undeniable chemistry that make for great viewing. Their witty and flirtatious banter is a huge highlight of the show and aids in making the guests feel welcome. Rhiannon is a walking encyclopedia of movie knowledge and she manages to find ways each week to floor us with her incredible trivia. Richard's charm is always on full display, making both the audience watching at home and the guests who appear on the show feeling incredibly comfortable, proving he is leading man material. They are the perfect duo. Their smiles and laughter is infectious. If you're in a bad mood when you begin watching the show, you won't be in one for long.

The show has the guests playing four rounds of random, fun games. Nothing is off limits as the games range from music-inspired guessing games through to straight movie trivia, where Rhiannon's terrifying knowledge is on full-display. I've played one final tournament and have been absolutely crushed by her. No wonder she's the QUIZarenaQUEEN (I hope I got that right).

There are special events linked to the show including two virtual escape rooms, a New Years Eve special in which Richard and Rhiannon teamed up to ring in 2022 together in a "Get-To-Know-Us" episode. There is even a couple of gaming specials for upcoming soon-to-be-released video games.

Moral of this long-winded review is the show is highly entertaining and I recommend you taking a chance and tuning into the next live stream. You won't be disappointed.

I look forward to seeing this show grow and following the careers of all who have been involved.

R & R with QUIZarenaLIVE

[tsukev · 10/10 · 28 October 2022]

There's not much I can say that hasn't been said already about this show. It's fun, fast-paced, chaotic, but above all, interactive. This is the selling aspect to the show.

The show streams live across YouTube, Twitch, and social media platforms. It opens it up to a world-wide viewership.

Personally, I enjoy the two hosts - Richard and Rhiannon. R & R. Both cemented in the entertainment world, each with their own skills, Richard and Rhiannon bring a dazzling dynamic to the screen. Richard has a boyish charm, movie star good looks, and an enviable energy, while Rhiannon has a seductive lilt to her voice, a contagious smile, and an intimidating database of knowledge floating around in her mind. They're both passionate and it shows. These two will draw you in and are the reason you'll return week after week.

The show consists of quick games that accrue points for the guests. I'm sure others have named their favorite games. For me, I enjoy Chronoloco, Venkman Burn in Hell, You Bet Your Life, and a new addition called Run Thomas Run.

Guests compete against each other for points in these games before facing off against the viewers and the QUIZarenaQUEEN, Rhiannon, in a final tournament of movie trivia.

If you're a fan of Whose Line Is It Anyway, you'll gravitate towards QUIZarenaLIVE. There really is something for everyone. No matter your age or your trivia knowledge, you will be suckered into the show and find yourself coming back time and time again.

Crazy Fun

[madammacabre · 10/10 · 5 April 2022]

Firstly, let me say I'm a huge fan of Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons. I've read all her books and have been following her for years on social media. When I saw her plugging this show, I tuned in one live stream and nearly died from laughter.

There are no variety shows like this anymore where two guests are pitted against each other in made-up games where points really don't matter. Games are all about movies, literature, music. Pop culture references galore!

The host is Richard Lovegrove. Got to say, he's pretty hot which adds to the appeal of the show. I hate echoing other reviews, but charismatic really is the best word to describe Richard. He has this boyish charm about him that makes him instantly likeable.

Rhiannon has joined the ranks as co-host, though that wasn't always the case. She was once just an everyday guest, but her scary intelligence made her unbeatable. And I have to say, she is a welcomed addition to the cast. She and Richard have this undeniable chemistry that make them such a joy to watch.

So far I've only managed to catch 4 episodes so far because it is on at 1:30am for me, but it's worth staying up for. I love the crazy games that get played. I love learning of new entertainers - because of this show I've begun to follow David and Yianni because they're hilarious.

But it's the final tournament where those watching can flex their muscles and take on Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons in a battle of wits when it comes to movie trivia. Those playing at home have their answers tallied and a winner is crowned at the end of the night. It is interactive and those watching are encouraged to sign up for YouTube and to participate.

They have also done some special events. Halloween, Christmas, and New Years were all covered. Halloween and Christmas saw a group of popular guests along with Richard and Rhiannon enter virtual escape rooms - I highly recommend watching these episodes because they are hilarious. On New Years, Richard and Rhiannon rang in 2022 with each other as they talk about things going on their life. A relaxed atmosphere and a moment to really get to know the hosts of this crazy fun show.

I'm looking forward to seeing what their next special event will be.

I'm a fan for life! As Rhiannon so eloquently says "I'll see you in the QUIZarena!"

Aussie Fun

[AJGhosthunter · 9/10 · 7 February 2023]

Don't take my lack of a 10/10 as meaning there's something wrong with the show. It's entertaining, but it's nothing new.

I came across QUIZarenaLIVE after a video was recommended to me on YouTube. I had been watching reruns of Whose Line Is It Anyway and thought I'd give this a shot. After watching 4 episodes back-to-back, I jumped online to read about the show. I never felt compelled to create an account or leave a review before, but there's something about this show that just works.

Hosted by Richard Lovegrove and Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons, QUIZarenaLIVE is a trivia game show. There's a lot to like about it. Firstly, echoing other reviews, the hosts are hot, informative, and above all, engaging with the live interactions taking place during the live streams. Secondly, the amount of movie knowledge and general trivia that is on display each week is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Thirdly, the games that are played are fun, however, a lot of the games seem to be recycled or heavily influenced by similar shows like Talking About Your Generation or Whose Line Is It Anyway.

QUIZarenaLIVE does stand out from shows that are similar with its ability to deliver breaking entertainment news live on air, engaging with a live audience, and not berating people if they get something wrong. It also delivers on compelling guests. From the episodes I've seen, I was excited to see Mike Franks from NCIS join them one night. That alone is worth checking the show out!

The technical issues that plague the stream in recent months have been problematic, hence why it's not a perfect 10/10 score. It's cute to see that they have a plushie of Gizmo from Gremlins on hand to pin the blame of technical errors on, but as cute as it is, it doesn't fix the problem at hand.

Richard and Rhiannon are pretty good as hosts. They complement each other well with Rhiannon being more of a calming influence while Richard exudes energy. They're spunky hosts, both blessed with good looks and brains. What hope is there for the rest of us plain people? They're also generous and compassionate, often backing charity drives and causes. In 2022, Rhiannon joined the Kiss Goodbye to MS drive where she ran 50kms to raise funds and awareness for multiple sclerosis. No one in the reviews I've read has put any emphasis on this, but I feel this is pivotal to them standing out.

If you've been a fan of shows like Talking About Your Generation, Whose Line Is It Anyway, Don't Forget Your Toothbrush, The Chase, Good News Week, and even classics like Sale of the Century and Wheel of Fortune, you'll get a kick out of QUIZarenaLIVE.

Silver Screen Entertainment

[S-F-WB · 10/10 · 16 May 2022]

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first tuned into QUIZarenaLIVE. Watching playbacks of old episodes, my initial reaction had mixed results. But as the show has evolved, it has developed a fantastic rhythm. Richard Lovegrove and Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons are fabulous hosts, their personalities engaging, while their fun factoids about film, literature, and music are awe-inspiring. They compliment each other well, often bouncing off each other onto divagation, or setting one another up for a joke. I hope to see more of them in person as the show progresses.

Each episode's premise is to have guests compete in fun games mostly focused movies, music, and literature. Guests are usually members of the Australian entertainment industry, though a few international guests have appeared at times.

You can tell both Richard and Rhiannon have been involved in the industry for a long time with the way they handle each guest. After doing some research on our hosts, I discovered Rhiannon has been an entertainment journalist and author for over 10 years. She is also a former actress. Richard has a history of acting and entertaining, so he knows how to warm a room and draw a crowd which explains his charming and warm personality.

This show has potential to be a weekly syndicated feature with an appeal to multiple generations. The knowledge of all things entertainment from those involved is extraordinary. Though I do recommend tuning into the Live Streams to take full advantage of what the show has to offer.

Tune in every Thursday night 7:30PM AEST for QUIZarenaLIVE.

Mykonos Loves QUIZarenaLIVE

[demetrioskontellis · 10/10 · 9 October 2022]

Thanks to a live gaming stream, I stumbled upon Richard and Rhiannon. Instantly drawn in by their personalities and their welcoming smiles I subscribed to the channel.

I was unprepared for QUIZarenaLIVE and I'm glad I went in blind. At the risk of parroting those who have reviewed the show before me, the banter between the guests makes the show a pleasure to watch.

The average run time of the show is 2 hours, though some days that feels far too short!

The fact that they have celebrities from all over the world coming on the show, whether it be to play or to ask questions to the viewers.

Since watching the first 2 episodes by myself I have now subjected my family to it. We find ourselves competing against one another each week. It spans multiple generations and houses. Thank you for the entertainment.

Entertaining & Educational

[armid-64668 · 10/10 · 31 July 2022]

I am a newcomer to QUIZarenaLIVE. I am not good at trivia but this show is more than trivia. Richard and Rhiannon are great hosts, each with their own strengths. I like both of them very much. Richard is entertaining with his witty quips, fun personality, and high energy. Rhiannon is more reserved and refined, though she does have a wicked side to her.

The guests are a lot of fun too. I like Kristian and was excited to see NCIS star, Muse Watson, appear. Mike Franks is awesome.

This is a good show. It is entertaining with their games and educational with the trivia shared. I do not have ESP but Venkman Burn In Hell is my favorite game. I also like Chronoloco.

The final tournament is hard but each week you learn something new. Family friendly entertainment from Australia.

Live Streamed Entertainment

[drewdropsanderson · 10/10 · 22 May 2022]

I didn't know much about the show before I turned in. But I found myself getting involved in the live chat which in turn allowed me to participate in the games.

I love the ability to be able to help or hinder the guests on the show by offering up suggestions in real time. The option to purposefully throw them off course is diabolical for a variety show, but the gimmick works well for QUIZarenaLIVE. Naturally, most members of the chat seemingly want to help out the guests and do their best to hand over correct answers.

The show is hosted by Richard Lovegrove and Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons, both of which are heavily involved in the entertainment industry within Australia. They work well with each other, balancing each other out. Richard has a boyish charm with movie star good looks. His charisma engages you and his high energy is infectious. Rhiannon has an air of refined elegance about her with a tease of seduction lilted in her voice and behind her eyes. Her incredible knowledge of all-things cinema is on display each episode. I get the sense that they are both highly intelligent across many subjects.

Also worth mentioning was a special sports report (for those of us who are interested in sports) and an entertainment report which is all about what's up and coming in both movies and gaming. Both of these were delivered by Rhiannon and I honestly thought she should be featured on E! News or ESPN with how professional she was. Richard's interjections with fun facts and segues added to the enjoyment of those segments.

There's a lot to like about QUIZarenaLIVE. Not only will they challenge your knowledge with their tough trivia and make you laugh with their off-beat humor, the show and more specifically the hosts, will appeal to a broad range of viewers. Highly recommend tuning into the next live stream to get the most out of the show.

Think You Know Trivia? Think Again.

[NatashaSimms · 10/10 · 9 July 2023]

If you think you know your movie trivia, you might want to think again.

QUIZarenaLIVE is a web-based series featuring Australian actor and all-round entertainer, Richard Lovegrove and Australian actress-turned-author, Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons as hosts and are a delight to watch.

If you are a fan of the silver screen, music, books, and pop culture, QUIZareanaLIVE is must-see TV! The trivia that is dropped on this show about our guilty pleasures is mind-blowing.

But the show is not just trivia. There's introductions to indie artists, filmmakers, well-established actors, as well as breaking news from the entertainment industry. But it's the insane amount of fun and captivating games that keep you coming back for more.

To get the most from the show, it's recommended that you tune into the live streams, but the replay value alone has this show as my latest binge-watching addiction.
