Content creators like Ghost Hlubi have hosted the game on their YouTube channels and received loads of views. The game consists of a bachelor or a bachelorette who has a couple of suitors lined up for them.
The bachelor has to go through each one of the suitors and share why they would smash or pass on the individual. The reasoning is usually the funniest part of the game.

An old timer had to go through four elderly women who were potential partners. The funny man broke down why he would Smash or Pass.
He rejected the first woman he came across and moved on to suitor number two. He said to the lady:
“Smash because she looks pink when you’re looking at her, but she’s actually brown.”
He moved on to the third lady and rejected her based on her looks:
“The way she has on her hat, she reminds me of a dangerous thug from years ago.”
He finally got to lady number four and rejected her, too:
“She’s always quiet, but today she amazed me because she was laughing. Why is she laughing? I also don’t know.”
The chap made everyone laugh, including his suitors. The video was posted on 22 July 2025 and has garnered over a million views since then.
