Ethan claims that having to eat only blue food is a difficult challenge that leaves him struggling to find suitable options.

“BLUE IS ETHAN. THAT'S A BIG STINKER. I'M GOING TO TRADE HIM FOR SOMETHING. I CAN'T go around any fucking Smalls.”

Simon believes that participants should embrace their assigned color by wearing matching clothing and accessories.

“GUYS, I WANT YOU TO EMBRACE YOUR COLORS. Go out, accessorize, get some clothes, get some hats, whatever.”

He considers the fermented soybean dish actually nice to eat.

“No, it's actually nice.”

The contestants are not experienced or skilled in the kitchen.

“this video, that YouTube has never cooked. They don't ever ever ever cook. Not any of us can do anything in the kitchen.”

Cooking a full meal from scratch is an essential part of the challenge.

“You have to make it from scratch. Might as well do a MasterChef.”

Josh suggests that the food eaten must have at least a shade of the assigned color to qualify for the challenge.

“THE RULES ARE THAT THE OUTSIDE OF THE food that you're eating has to be at least a shade of the color that you've been assigned.”
