totally understand the premise of eating hot wings, I have a friend who is super into them and enters contents and impresses large men with her heat-eating ability

it's just baffling to me as a context for Getting To Know Someone, which I'm beginning to understand is how some of you are seeing it

idk how else to explain that it's weird to me that watching someone suffer a food makes them relatable/likable, which leaves me with the idea that it's me that's weird here

everybody else gets it, and I get that, but it is very weird to me

edit: also, I'm not looking for weird interview shows to make celebrities relatable. they will never be relatable to me, fuck celebrities ❤️

The juxtaposition of the challenge and the interview was the novelty that I think gave hot ones its initial appeal though, to be trite the suffering is the point

Have you heard In Vino Veritas? this is the same, but you degrade their faculties with pain instead of CNS depressants.
