That’s Disgusting
I’m not sure what appeals to people about the gross-out factor — some sadistic, voyeuristic personality flaws, perhaps. Shows like Fear Factor, Man vs. Wild and Man v. Food have audiences peaking between fingers to watch what others will put into their mouths.
But I have to give No Reservations a pass because Anthony Bourdain is just cool. To me, his show is more about being open to adventure and finding the delicious in every corner of the world, even if it does appeal to sadists.
These kids went to Thailand and filmed their own Bourdain-style experience, but they totally wimped out when it came to partaking of the delicious. I’m assuming the liquid base is some type of rice wine, and the blood… it brings out the vampire in me.
