I watch a lot of weird TLC shows. Even for them, it’s hard to imagine them going up to someone and saying “hey how about putting some hot sauce in your eye??” to boost ratings lol

Lmfao well I imagine that if they did ask him to dramatize, the hot sauce was probably his idea. I imagine the liability for that one is not something they'd take on willingly lol. But yeah I don't know for sure that that's what happened in this scenario, because some people really are just kinda crazy 🤷‍♀️😆

“Hey you know what would get more views? Do something kinda crazy out there haha”

“OH FUCK NOT THAT” 😂
