Welcome to Nicky Showtime
BY DC CUEVA
But the calling card of the man they call Nicky Showtime is being an internet star: during the series' third trip to Sin City, DCBLOG devoted an entire post to the prank videos he has been able to post for everyone on YouTube. The most notable of all of these was one that gave him national notoriety: before a science test in Chapel Hill and the last day to drop a class, he decided to crash the party by interrupting a biology class and stripping down to his underwear. He was booted off the Tar Heel track team and lost privileges like having his senior prom tickets being torn up, and even had to plea for his professors to compose letters for him to receive his diploma.
One thing will be for sure if he gets that call to be a Challenge rookie is that he will be ready to make everyone laugh. But with the summer now officially in our rear view mirror, it's not the case quite yet in warm-weather regions like the Carolinas where he calls home: temps still top out in the 80s as the state continues to recover from Hurricane Florence. But it hasn't stopped Nicky from trying his biggest challenge yet, against not a wrestler or basketball player, but against a formidable opponent that's familiar to those who watch The Challenge: food.
Dylan bought a few of them at the store located in the Charlotte metropolitan area and decided to film not one, but two videos of him eating both Ghost Peppers and Carolina Reapers. The former was Guinness-certified as the world's hottest chili pepper in 2007, which rates in 400 times hotter than the Tabasco sauce you likely have in your kitchen. But the ladder, Smokin Ed's signature, overtook it years later with a heat level rated at 1.57 million in the Scoville Heat Units index, the measurement of how hot a pepper is when someone who's game enough to put it in their mouth. It's so dangerous, in fact, that earlier this year a man was hospitalized with a report of "thunderclap headaches."
How can Nicky Showtime handle eating two of the world's hottest peppers? See below how he handles it, along with the man behind the secret formula. A caution: do not try this at home if you don't know how to handle eating hot chili.
