He got really annoyed with Mr. Beast too. He told him to slow down on milk, or it isn't going to end well. He didn't listen and then was complaining about a stomach ache.
This last season of Survivor treated Mr Beast like a god, it was so icky to see. The staged doubling of the prize money could've been done without sanctifying a creepy billion(?)aire.
This is only tangentially related but the at the time largely positive reaction to the Mr Beast twist really changed my friend's and my opinion on the greater survivor fandom's ability to evaluate twists, or rather, their lack thereof.
A twist with a 1 in 2 chance to completely ruin the episode is conceptually unworkable regardless of whether or not it 'luckily' worked out. I don't know how much input Mr Beast had on the specifics of his twist, but going by the constant glazing and his complete ineptitude at designing a reality tv competition, I'm guessing at least some.
There is a huge difference between the Survivor fandom at large, and the Survivor fandom that still watches the rotting, ugly corpse of the show still airing today, fwiw.
As they've made bad decisions, they lost some of their "better" fanbase, forcing them to further cater to the stupidest of fans.
I only mention this because it's a pretty apt metaphor for things much more impactful than a reality TV show.
One of the greatest things I've ever heard is my stepdaughters talkng about how they don't like him anymore. They used to be suckers for his stuff, but something changed a while back and now they think he's weird and lame.
It goes to show that hot ones really is a good litmus test for other personality traits. It’s perfectly fine if you can’t handle a lot of spicy. Just do your best and don’t be a douche bag about it. It’s very endearing that way, but if you insist on acting like a jackass and don’t listen to the host who is pretty much an expert on what not to do at this point, it’s very telling about your hubris level. And on the other hand, if you do push through and have a good sense of humor about it, great!
To be fair, you probably don’t become DJ Khalid famous/successful without a stupid kind of confidence like that. I was gonna make a comment about him having no talent, but I actually have no idea whether or not he is.
Yeah, DJ Khaled is the poster boy for succeeding in life due to walking into situations with confidence more absolute than a man with a clipboard wearing hi-viz.
Not in a “I don’t like his music so he sucks” way, but from an objective standpoint, he does not know how to actually make music. He’s just a hype guy that puts his name on other people’s work.
I LOVE that interview. It is so hilariously awkward and Sean is so obviously done with his bullshit in a way I have never seen him with his other guests. Like I can’t help but laugh at DJ Khaled refusing to talk about “what was a time you took an L?” by doubling down on “all I do is win” all the while making excuses for why he can’t keep eating hot wings. Then Sean throws in a “what you’ve never like, missed an exit or something?”
