Is the Wheel of Pain Returning?
Yes, the Wheel of Pain will return. Donations unlock spins, which in turn unlock horrible tasks for me to do. These can range from fiery jelly beans to super sour candy, to some voting opportunities. See below for more details.
Who or What is Mr. Blender?
This year, we will be making an interactive smoothie together. Viewers will get to vote on ingredients to be placed into the blender. At the end of the marathon, I’ll blend all the ingredients together and drink it. This idea sounds a bit questionable on paper, but tune in to see how it turns out.
