Freeze Out is an ITV game show presented by Mark Durden-Smith and refereed by Uriah Rennie, broadcast in August 2015.
Five contestants compete through four rounds of challenges by answering questions and pushing "sliders" (pucks with grip handles on top) on a circular ice table.
Rennie, dressed in a referee's jersey, keeps time and resolves disputes as the "Ice Judge."
The process is repeated four times, with the table being cleared after each pass, and the player with the lowest total score is eliminated.
The host asks a series of questions on the buzzer, and the player who buzzes-in with the correct answer fires a slider toward their section.
Running out of sliders ends the round and forfeits all winnings above £1,000, if the player has completed that level; if not, they leave with nothing.
A question is asked on the buzzer; a correct answer allows that player to decide who goes first, but a miss gives the choice to the opponent.
Joel Golby of The Guardian stated that Durden-Smith's "genuine lack of personality makes him the perfect understated companion to [ice judge Rennie] ... whose thousand-yard stare and body language add to the growing feeling that you are actually watching an incredibly elaborate hostage video."
