Love reality dating shows but tired of the obsession with marriage? Welcome to Hang Up, a reality dating show with no rings attached.

In each season, one person is matched with six prospective love interests. They go on dates over the phone and never see each other. After the dates, the Star chooses one person to “hang up” on and eliminate from the show.

And there’s a twist— in the end, the winning caller makes their own choice: to either choose the Star back and take an all-expenses-paid vacation together or hang up on the Star and take a cash prize instead.

    Speed Dial

    Speed Dial

    Our Star Maxine is a 26 year old bartender in Richmond, Virginia looking for a date, preferably someone snarky who can match her humor and not someone who chews gum and loves Harry Potter.

    She now has six Callers who have one shot to make a first impression in a high stakes seven minute Speed Dial date. To pick her perfect match, she asks how they feel about roller coasters and Pitbull, their favorite Sean Paul song, and if they’ve ever been to therapy.

    And in the end, one Caller gets the hang up.

    It’s time to take this relationship to the next level and introduce Maxine’s dates to her wider circle in the Phone a Friend Date.

I liked it

I tune it later and missed the first few episodes but I honestly liked this! its fun and so 20 something.

I think its unfair to rate it low bc of the "star" its not like she'll be on every episode.

The host was super fun to me as well.

I honestly liked it a lot

The best of reality dating shows

It’s like all the interesting parts of dating shows. I LOVE. And the host is incredible. So fun to yell at with my friends and listen to in a group setting

Did we just become best friends?

I don’t know about y’all, but I am terrible at not being constantly entertained. Driving? Boring. Cleaning? Boring. However both of these tasks done with Hang Up holding my hand … a completely unhinged, fun time.
Why do I feel like I’m best friends with the host? Why do I feel like the star can hear me shouting caring, words of advice at them? I’ll tell you why… it’s because the folks behind this show have done a *splendid* job at story telling, prompting and editing.
Don’t miss this listen. Also, please bring the show to Tampa so I can attend the live finale. Please and thank you.
