“Yeah,” Luke replied. “There was eating an onion like an apple versus eating hot peppers seasoned with hot sauce. Our girl got second in that to Ella’s brother Ryan.”
“Ella is this girl you like?” Finn asked.
“Yeah,” Luke replied.
Finn nodded.
“The next challenge was eating durian fruit or cooked chicken hearts, and Keeley chickened out first,” Luke went on. “Bad thing was that he was on my team.”
Finn swore. “That sucks.”
“The kid who won clearly liked chicken hearts, so for him it wasn’t unpleasant,” Luke added. “He didn’t just eat the heart he was supposed to, but the four hearts that would’ve gone uneaten because they were for the four kids who chose to do the durian fruit.”
“Does that stuff stink as bad as I’ve heard it does?” Finn asked.
“I don’t know,” Luke replied. “Like, something smelled bad, but I expected it to be a more intense, lingering odour, so either they found a way to protect us from the odour, or it isn’t necessarily as intense as I’d expected it to be.”
Finn nodded.
“The next one was drinking raw eggs or drinking one of those old people nutrient drinks,” Luke said. “The girl from our team in that one won too. In fact, I think we actually swept the last four events.”
“Seriously?” Finn asked.
“Yeah,” Luke replied. “The next one was kids had to eat mashed potatoes in an ice cream cone with chocolate sauce on top, or ice cream with ketchup on it and a KFC chicken drumstick without being told the ice cream and potatoes had switched places.”
“That’s not great, but it’s not bad at the same time,” Finn said. “In fact, for the most part these aren’t as bad as I expected, considering some of the stuff that’s happened at the Domino Group in the past based on your reports.”
“Well the next one was horrible, and Ella actually volunteered to go because we’d been alternating guys and girls,” Luke replied. “Either you had to eat brownies and chocolate icing that’d been mixed together and squeezed out of a piping bag onto diapers, or bob for chocolate chunks in a toilet filled with lemonade.”
Finn covered his mouth.
“Ella chose to bob for chocolate and was the only one of the four who did that got all of her chocolate chunks out,” Luke said. “Surprisingly the kids eating the brownies out of the diapers all bowed out by vomiting, which makes me think there was something outside of the brownies and icing in those diapers.”
“But what?” Finn asked.
“I don’t want to know,” Luke replied.
“That is revolting, though,” Finn said.
“I should’ve really stepped up for a challenge sooner — we all volunteered before we knew what the challenges were — but I went for the last one,” Luke said.
“And what was that?” Finn asked.
“Either we had to eat a tarantula like that guy on YouTube we watched, or we had to eat peanut butter out of the armpits of an adult volunteer who’d gone and sweated himself up beforehand,” Luke replied.
Finn put his hand over his mouth again and looked more desperate than before. Luke took his guitar and watched as Finn bolted to the house. It was several minutes before Finn returned looking like he’d lost some colour.
