00:003, 2, 1, CHOMP THE CHEESE!
00:09Aiden's down already.
00:10Aiden's smashed it.
00:11Mark is chewing away.
00:12Lewis, bit more of that pepper please.
00:14All the way down the stalk.
00:15And Luke as well please.
00:16Right down the end.
00:17Little bit more there, Anissa.
00:19Just a little bit.
00:20I think everyone has completed round one, haven't they?
00:24Round of applause please.
00:26Everyone's through to the next round.
00:28OK, so round two.
00:29What are these, Jen?
00:30Round two are the jalapenos.
00:32Between 2,000 and 8,000 Scovilles.
00:35This is going to be a challenge because it's quite hard to chew these and swallow them quickly.
00:40Hold your peppers up in the air please.
00:423, 2, 1, CHOMP THOSE CHILLIES!
00:47Wow, Aiden's quick.
00:49Luke has polished his off.
00:50He's just chewing away.
00:51Aiden's done hers.
00:52I think most people handle that one better than the Padrock.
00:54They're taking it in their stride.
00:55This is good.
00:56This is good.
00:57How are you doing, Anissa?
00:58Thumbs up.
01:00So I think we should just jump straight in with round three.
01:03Now these are Fresno chilies.
01:06Similar to the jalapeno, they're between 2,500 and 10,000 Scoville heat units.
01:12These peppers are quite nice because there's a lot of fluid in them and they're almost sweet.
01:16So it's kind of a bit of a relief before we go to the next hotter round.
01:20So enjoy it if you can.
01:22OK, please hold your Fresno pepper up in the air.
01:26Everybody.
01:273, 2, 1, CHOMP THOSE CHILLIES!
01:31Lewis has just smashed that.
01:33Layla's done.
01:34Zoe has got through that.
01:36Zoe's done.
01:37Wow, these guys are strong.
01:39A little bit more there, Mark.
01:40Luke's done.
01:41I'm going to be harsh.
01:43OK, so everyone's done round three.
01:46Round of applause, please.
01:47That was remarkable.
01:49It's going to get worse.
01:50It's going to get worse.
01:51Next one, we've got some green finger chilies.
01:54They're not huge, so we're going to give them two.
01:56They are between 10,000 and 100,000 Scovilles.
02:00Do you cook with these at all, Shen?
02:01Finger chilies is one of my favourite chilies.
02:03I do like them a lot.
02:04It's a bit of flavour.
02:06I love the crunch on them.
02:08Great with curries.
02:09Amazing chilies.
02:10Actually, Shen has a website, ukchiliqueen.com.
02:13There are a lot of her recipes on that.
02:15I kind of specialise in doing quick foods and I use a lot of finger chilies in my cooking, for sure.
02:21Right, are we ready for round four?
02:24If you'd like to hold your green finger chilies up in the air, please.
02:28And then you know the drill.
02:29Three, two, one.
02:31Chop those chilies.
02:33Jan is just chopping away quite nicely.
02:36Oh, what's that, Lewis?
02:37They're too hot for Lewis.
02:39Give him some encouragement.
02:40You can do it.
02:41One more round.
02:42One more round, Lewis.
02:43You don't want to be the first out, do you?
02:46He's all right.
02:47He's all right.
02:48Lewis has dropped his milk.
02:49He's out.
02:50Round of applause for Lewis.
02:53Sterling weren't there, mate.
02:54How's everyone else doing?
02:55These guys are done at this end.
02:57So Leila has just got a little bit more of hers to do.
03:00Excellent.
03:01Right, we're going on to the next round, round five, which is Thai bird's eyes.
03:07And we're going to give them two because they're tiny, but they're very, very hot.
03:10Between 50,000 and 100,000 Scoville heat units.
03:15If you'd like to hold your Thai bird's eye peppers in the air, please.
03:19Three, two, one.
03:21Chop those chilies.
03:24Marcus nailed that.
03:25Aidan's nailed it.
03:26Luanne's just got one more to go.
03:28Not any more.
03:30Leila's almost done her first one.
03:33We need some encouragement for Leila, please.
03:35Come on, Leila.
03:36Anissa, you're done?
03:38Done.
03:39Anissa's done.
03:40Great.
03:41Zoe is done.
03:42Luke is done.
03:43Ethan's done.
03:44And Jan is pretty much done.
03:46Yay, round the floors.
03:48Everyone has done round five.
03:50Round five, that's quite incredible.
03:52What's round six, Matt?
03:53Scotch bonnets.
03:55We're upping the ante quite a bit here.
03:57We're talking between 100,000 and 350,000 Scoville heat units.
04:02This is going to be a bit of a shock to everybody from the last round.
04:05This could be where things change, a game changer.
04:09If you'd want to carry on, if you'd like to hold your pepper, your scotch bonnet pepper in the air, please.
04:15You can do this, Leila.
04:17You've got this, Leila.
04:18Ethan says he's done.
04:20Can we make just one more round?
04:22Are you sure?
04:23One more round, people.
04:24That's it.
04:25One more round.
04:26Go on.
04:27He's going to do it.
04:28He's going to go for it.
04:29He's going to go for it.
04:30That's impressive.
04:31Team Ethan, give them a cheer.
04:32That's hardcore.
04:33Okay.
04:34Hold your scotch bonnet pepper in the air, please.
04:37Don't touch that milk.
04:39Three, two, one.
04:42Chomp those chilies.
04:45Okay.
04:46So, go for it, Ethan.
04:48What am I like?
04:49What am I like?
04:50I think he's going to go after this one.
04:51He's out.
04:52Well done, Ethan.
04:53Well done.
04:54Well done.
04:55Put your hands together for Ethan.
04:56Nice one, mate.
04:57Nice one.
04:58How's Luke doing?
04:59Did you manage to eat that?
05:00You didn't even touch the sides with Luke.
05:01A dark horse here.
05:02Zoe, Anissa and Leila, all the ladies in the middle here, doing all right.
05:08And the lads down here, all done.
05:10So, it's just a little bit more for Leila.
05:14There we go.
05:15And the end there.
05:18Fantastic.
05:19Just finishing up.
05:20Right.
05:21So, we're going to go on to round seven, which are habaneros.
05:26Red habaneros.
05:28And these are beautiful specimens.
05:30They look beautiful.
05:31We're giving them two.
05:32We're giving them two.
05:33Leila is...
05:34Are you sure you don't want to do one more round?
05:36No.
05:37One more round.
05:38One more round.
05:39Okay.
05:40A round of applause for Leila.
05:41Do you want to take your milk?
05:42No.
05:44Anissa's not feeling well, so she's going to call it a day.
05:48Thanks for joining us, Anissa.
05:50Right.
05:51So, now we've got six contestants left out of the ten.
05:54Don't touch that milk, Luke.
05:56He's not off.
05:57One more round.
05:58One more round for Luke.
05:59Is he doing it?
06:00Luke has drunk the milk.
06:02So, we literally halved the number of contestants by that scotch bonnet.
06:06That's crazy.
06:07Okay.
06:08If you want to carry on, hold your peppers in the air.
06:12Three, two, one.
06:15Chomp those chillies.
06:17Once you've done the first one, the second one is even harder.
06:20The second one is much easier.
06:22I was going to say.
06:24They're doing great.
06:25So, they've done one already.
06:27Aidan and Mark have done one.
06:29Jan is halfway through his first.
06:31He's just finished his first one.
06:32Zoe's done.
06:33Zoe's done the first one.
06:34Zoe's done it.
06:35Wow.
06:36Amazing.
06:37Jan's done it.
06:38Amazing.
06:39Put your hands together, guys.
06:41Okay.
06:42So, we have got the next round.
06:44Which are?
06:45Which are ghost peppers.
06:48Yeah.
06:49Between 800,000 and a million Scovilles.
06:52Are they getting one of each or two?
06:54Just getting the one.
06:55We're not that evil.
06:56You're being kind.
06:57Not yet.
06:58Okay.
06:59I say yes.
07:00The tissue is being used a lot more in these later rounds.
07:04I think we should get them going.
07:06Yeah.
07:07If you'd like to hold your ghost pepper up in the air, please.
07:10If you want to carry on.
07:11Come on.
07:12And three, two, one.
07:15Chomp those chilies.
07:18Come on, Nguyen.
07:19You've got this.
07:20You've got this.
07:21This is now more about willpower.
07:23No.
07:24Come on, Nguyen.
07:25No.
07:26No.
07:27He's up.
07:28Well done, Nguyen.
07:29Please put your hands together for Nguyen.
07:30He did very well.
07:31He did very well indeed.
07:32Wow.
07:33Okay.
07:34So, we are down to four.
07:35Wow.
07:36This is where things are going to get really, really messy.
07:38So, what we've got now are scorpion peppers.
07:41Yeah, scorpion.
07:43Now, these are between 1.2 and 1.3 million Scovilles.
07:49Those are the fully ripe ones.
07:51These are unripe, so they might not be as pokey.
07:54But they're still going to pack a little bit of a punch.
07:57But I think we should get those peppers up in the air.
08:00And three, two, one.
08:03Chomp those chilies.
08:05They're doing great.
08:07They've slowed down a bit.
08:08You're doing great, Mark.
08:09You're doing great.
08:10They've slowed down a bit, but they're doing great.
08:13Yes, Aiden's slowed down a little bit, but he's doing all right.
08:16No, Zoe.
08:17One more round.
08:18No.
08:19Come on, Zoe.
08:20Please put your hands together for Zoe.
08:21Well done, Zoe.
08:22Well done.
08:23Incredible.
08:24So, Yan has just finished his.
08:25He's chucked away the stalk.
08:26And Mark is doing all right.
08:29He's doing all right.
08:31And Aiden, a little bit of a glow around the eyes.
08:35It's kind of one of those things, because they're green and unripe.
08:38He thought the other one was hotter.
08:39You want more heat, then?
08:41You shouldn't have asked for that.
08:43Let's try something different.
08:46We've got these chips here, these corn chips.
08:48These are the world's hottest corn chips from Australia.
08:51They are infused with ghost pepper, scorpion pepper, and Carolina reaper pepper.
08:57And we're going to give them two each.
09:01Just chips.
09:02Just chips.
09:03And they've got a dusting of Carolina reaper pepper on them as well.
09:05So, they're pretty pokey.
09:07Yeah, don't touch your eye.
09:09Oh, Mark has touched his eye.
09:11Not a good move.
09:13So, this time around, we're not going to say, three, two, one, chop those chilies.
09:16We're going to go, three, two, one, chop those chips.
09:19Give them a chip, people.
09:21Come on.
09:22Three, two, one, chop those chips.
09:28I mean, if it was me, I'd eat the whole thing whole, just to try and get it down there.
09:31Very, very dry.
09:32Any moisture that they had in their mouth is now gone.
09:34Eden's done his second chip.
09:35Mark's done his second chip.
09:37Jan is getting there.
09:39He's almost done.
09:40So, they've done.
09:41How is your eye, Mark?
09:42It's not the best.
09:45He's still got his left eye, though.
09:47So, that's a good thing.
09:48His right eye is completely kiboshed.
09:50But he can't see in stereo anymore.
09:52Just going to give Mark a little bit of a wet tissue for his eye.
09:57He'll be fine.
09:58It will wear off.
09:59It lasts a few minutes once you get it into your eyes, but that will help, I think.
10:03Right, so.
10:04Whoa.
10:05The next round is, does anyone know what the world's hottest pepper is, according to Guinness?
10:10The Carolina Reaper.
10:12Yes.
10:13Now, we've got some dried ones here.
10:16They're horrible.
10:19I've had dried Carolina Reapers before.
10:21It's not a pleasant thing, but we're going to make them eat one.
10:24And the Scoville heat unit for these is between 1.5 and 2.2 million Scovilles.
10:33And because they're dry, it's just going to be horrible.
10:36It's just going to be horrid.
10:37So, we need big, big, big, big, big support from you guys to get them through this next round.
10:42As we say, hold your pepper in the air.
10:48And after three people, three, two, one.
10:51Chop those chilies.
10:54So, Mark has taken the whole thing in, and he's just in the zone.
10:59Aiden's got it in.
11:00Mark's done it.
11:01And Jan, he's going through his in pieces, bit by bit.
11:06Amazing.
11:07Amazing.
11:08Can I just say, these guys look so impressive.
11:10It's quite incredible, actually.
11:12It's quite incredible.
11:13And they've all done it.
11:14They've all done it.
11:15That was round 11.
11:17Wow.
11:18We need to basically end this ruddy thing now.
11:21We've reached the pinnacle of heat when it comes to peppers.
11:25So, we need a decider, which is a speed round.
11:31We've got some big, big peppers here.
11:34They're not very hot.
11:35They're not hot at all.
11:36We're going to give them two, and it's the person who eats both peppers first will be declared the winner.
11:44Everybody, one last time.
11:46Hold your peppers in the air, please.
11:49And then, when I say, chop those chilies, on that, chilies, that's when we're going to go.
11:54Three, two, one.
11:55Chop those chilies!
11:57Right.
11:58Going to nosh them down.
12:00Mark has started hard.
12:01Come on.
12:02Aiden's not messing around here.
12:03No, Aiden's going through.
12:04Aiden's not messing around.
12:05He's really going for it.
12:06Come on.
12:07Jan is making his way through quite leisurely.
12:09He needs to pick up that pace.
12:11Mark's doing really well.
12:12Don't want to overdo it too much, otherwise you might end up...
12:14You never know until the end, because people could purge.
12:18This has happened before, when you hurry too much, and it could backfire.
12:22So, let's see.
12:23And also, you've got to remember...
12:25Come on, we need some more encouragement, people.
12:27Come on.
12:28You've got to remember, they've eaten all the previous chilies in the previous rounds as well.
12:33So, their stomachs are going to be feeling it.
12:36Aiden has finished his first one.
12:39It's between Mark and Jan.
12:41Come on, people.
12:42We need some cheering.
12:43What you're witnessing is...
12:45We don't always get to this stage.
12:48We've got to prepare for these situations.
12:50Oh, my God.
12:51Aiden has almost finished his second one.
12:53Halfway through his second one.
12:55He's storming through.
12:57He's left everyone behind in the dust, I think.
12:59Mark has almost finished his first one.
13:01And Jan's not quitting.
13:02He's still giving it a good go here.
13:04Aiden is almost there.
13:06Almost there.
13:07A tiny bit more on the edge.
13:08That's it.
13:09That's it.
13:10Jan has almost finished his first one.
13:12I think it's a one-horse race now.
13:14Yeah.
13:15We've just got to wait to see if Aiden can show us an empty mouth or whether he purges everything.
13:22Aiden is the winner.
13:25Congratulations, Aiden.
13:27Mark and Jan, that was absolutely hardcore.
13:30Wow.
13:31So, so impressive.
13:32On any other day, these guys would be there for sure.
13:35There's no doubt.
13:36Well done, Jan.
13:37Another cheer for Jan, please.
13:40Another cheer for Mark.
13:43And a cheer for Aiden, our winner.
