Sidemen Sunday's 21 v 1 series has grown in popularity over the years

One of the most popular and recurring episodes on Sidemen Sunday is the 20 v 1 series, which has become a fan favorite over the years. The premise of the show is simple yet entertaining - it features one male creator in a rapid-fire dating scenario with 20 other women.

However, the catch is that the members use an earpiece to communicate with the participant, often tasking him with comedic acts and pranks to keep the audience engaged.

This unique format has proven to be a hit with fans, and the series has helped cement the group's position as one of the most successful and influential YouTube groups in the UK.

Which creators have appeared in the show in the past year?

In July 2022, former Twitch streamer Jidon "JiDion" appeared on the show, followed by YouTuber and athlete Logan Paul in September 2022. Most recently, popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat was featured in January 2023.

Of all the guests that have appeared on the show, the latest addition has been the most successful yet. With over 33 million views in just a couple of months, Kai Cenat's appearance ranks at the top.

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
