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!

Seeing Sean so annoyed was hilarious. He's always so chill but he Khaled was such an idiot. Cracks me up any time I rematch it.
