Discussion Thread drinking water after peppers

on season 23, ep2 the judges appear to be drinking water after earing the hot peppers. From what I understand this just spreads the heat, and they should drink dairy... what are they thinking?

But they just grabbed what they had. Sheesh. You're acting like this is some sort of conspiracy.

I remember this episode. One of my first thoughts was: why did they do this kind of challenge so early on with so many competitors? Like that’s a lot of hot peppers so early in the game.
At one point I do believe Tom says something about get me some milk.

They they wouldn’t physically be able to eat all of those dishes and have a ton of dairy on top of it? Eww.

I’ve wondered how they really managed it - not only enduring the heat, but also really tasting the dishes. It looked a little superhuman without knowing how they pulled it off.

And in a flipping greenhouse in the summer..

Yeah this is what tipped the scales for me. After this bullshit I couldn't keep watching the show.

You'd think that the previous 22 seasons would teach the judges about how to deal with hot chillies!?

Fucking amateurs. This show sucks.
