The reactions are just so fake! OOOH AHHH WOW! ONLY 5 SECONDS! But in reality it was like 15 seconds, but they like take 3 - 4 seconds between counting. I'm just like "pleaaaaase, 15 seconds isn't that much longer than 5, who are you people kidding?!" it's still pretty damn fast! and the chick that is working with him, I HATE house she pronounces "jalapeno."
