Ethan Payne claims that team members can consume more calories to overcome the deficit created by the physical activity portion of the challenge.

“Well, as we said, we're not going to win on exercise, so Oh, easy. You brought us a food. So, we're going to go eat.”

The calorie challenge aims to consume the highest number of calories as a team within 24 hours.

“We need to eat the most calories as a team together.”

A strategy for winning the calorie challenge is to consume large amounts of mayonnaise.

“If we could stomach just drinking mayonnaise, we could win this whole challenge. We could drink a tub of mayonnaise, throw up and drink another tub of mayonnaise.”

Harry W2S advocates for using a team-based strategy to tackle the food challenges instead of doing them solo.

“We should tag team this. - Because if not then... - Or, just send me to the shadow realm.”

Participants in eating challenges should be forced to eat items against their will as part of the challenge.

“He needs to be forced to.”

Eating challenges should have a threshold of effort determined by the show's participants rather than a strict adherence to the stated goal.

“If we get to a place where the committee decides that an acceptable effort has been made to achieve the goal, then I think you're good.”
