Contestant's Shocking Pickup Line Seemingly Threatens Pokimane & ExtraEmily
AustinShow, a renowned Twitch streamer famous for his viral dating shows like 'Love or Host' and 'King of the Hill,' recently stirred up controversy during one of his episodes. These shows involve contestants interacting with participants over multiple rounds, eliminating potential dates along the way to find their ideal match.
The incident occurred during a live episode of 'King of the Hill' on February 6, 2025. The contestant, vying for a date, took a shocking turn when asked to deliver his best pickup line to four prominent female Twitch streamers featured on the show.
The lineup included Extra Emily from OTK, Kandyland, LydiaViolet, and Pokimane, Twitch's most-followed female streamer. Instead of a charming line, the contestant made a disturbing statement that caught everyone off guard.
His unsettling words, "Go out with me before I kill you," left the women visibly surprised. One of them immediately sought clarification, while another attempted to diffuse the tension with humor, suggesting the threat was meant in a virtual context.

Recognizing the discomfort, Austin swiftly moved past the moment, thanking the contestant and swiftly transitioning to the next segment. The VOD of the episode was later removed from Austin's Twitch channel, leaving only fragments of the incident circulating online.
Viewers expressed outrage at the contestant's inappropriate behavior, with one Reddit user highlighting the need for more stringent vetting processes for show participants. Despite the backlash, none of the female streamers involved have publicly addressed the incident on their social media platforms.
The absence of any response from the streamers has left fans speculating about the aftermath of the uncomfortable episode and its sudden disappearance from online platforms.
While AustinShow is known for creating entertaining and engaging content, this particular episode took an unexpected turn, showcasing the challenges of live interactions and the importance of maintaining a respectful and safe environment, especially when featuring prominent personalities.
