5 Seconds of Summer on Hot Ones Versus: Choose wings over album ranking

The members of 5 Seconds of Summer have been through a lot together after nearly 15 years as a group, but nothing could've prepared them for the fiery chaos of Hot Ones Versus.

In the latest episode of First We Feast's competition series posted on Tuesday (July 21), Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin sat beside one another as they stomached hot wings, burning questions and increasingly ridiculous challenges.

Immediately, the episode kicks off with a tough question for Clifford, asking him to rank each member's solo albums from best to worst. Rather than risk bruising any feelings, Clifford opted to take the punishment instead. The band watches curiously as he dives straight into a "death wing," sipping all drinks at his disposal in hopes that the spice subsides.

Irwin is next met with a "Wild Card," in which the band is advised to pass a toy pizza around the table without using their hands - a nod to the group's deep-cut rarity called "Pizza Song." The band didn't have to endure another fiery bite after completing this challenge, and even evaded it the next round as Hemmings successfully "filled in the blank" to complete the lyrics of old 5 Seconds of Summer songs.

Hood, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. Hemmings picks up a card, ordering Hood to either let his bandmates doodle all over his face for the remainder of the episode or eat another spicy wing. The bassist chose the latter, squeezing his nostrils shut as he picks up his punishment. Hemmings asks in confusion, "What's with the nose?" to which Hood responds, "Well, nose is like, 90% of the taste." The group erupts into giggles as Hood finishes his bite.

The prompts only became more absurd from there. Clifford judged his bandmates' outfits in an impromptu fashion show, eventually sentencing Hemmings to another death wing, while Hood assigned each member tongue-in-cheek personality sashes. Hemmings was dubbed the group's "Little Diva," Clifford earned "Hot Mama," Irwin was bestowed "The Flirt," and Hood embraced the title of "Bad Influence."

Later, the group huddles together to devise the perfect question for Irwin after drawing the game's "Killer's Choice" card.

"He's an open book," Hemmings laughs as the band try to think of a question he can answer. Everyone has had a wing except for Irwin, so they ultimately ask him a burning personal question about how many houses he owns, and how much they cost. Irwin sidesteps the interrogation by voluntarily eating a death wing.

For the grand finale, the longtime friends settled the competition with a heated game of musical chairs after adding an extra dab of The Last Dab to their remaining wings. Clifford emerged as the winner from the game, though not without being jokingly accused of cheating by the rest of the band. He holds his Hot Ones Versus trophy and issues a playful challenge to fellow boyband alum Niall Horan to face all four members on a future episode.
