Hot ones aren't hot anymore
My husband and I have been watching a lot of hot ones recently and I have noticed something interesting.
The celebs doing the interviews seem to deal with the sauces much more effectively than they used to. You barely see people crying or going red like in previous seasons. I watched the Hillary Duff one and she wasn't affected at all.
A lot of the celebs just sit there and say "it's so hot" and breathe out a bit these days.
Are you telling me that every single celebrity has somehow become incredible at dealing with extra hot sauce? I don't believe you.
My theory is that they're just giving them plain hot wings now and asking people to just pretend. The interviews are always interesting, but I feel the spiciness element of the interview has almost disappeared.
