5 min readGame On, Wives! The MeatEater Wives Take Over Trivia
The last time the MeatEater wives and girlfriends hosted trivia, the episode did 168% better than the average episode on YouTube. That's not a small bump—it's nearly double the typical viewership. So when Shelby (married to Spencer, the usual host) gathered Adrian, Alex, Carrie, Katie, Kelsey, Sarah, and Sydney for a second round, the stakes were clear: the audience loves watching these women play, even if the YouTube comments also love calling them "loud" and "squawky." As Sarah put it, reading from the comments section: "Sticky Ricky said he thinks he likes us more than our husbands." The room laughed, but the point landed—this is a show where conservation always wins, and the wives were playing for $500 to the charity of the winner's choice.
