Ep 14. Tyra Banks Cries For Her Mom While Eating Spicy Wings

Tyra Banks, the iconic supermodel, actress, and TV host joins Sean Evans on the 14th episode of Season 5 of Hot Ones – the show where celebrities are challenged to eat progressively spicier hot wings while answering questions about their careers and personal lives. From Victoria's Secret to America's Next Top Model, Tyra has had quite a journey in the entertainment industry and now it's time to see how she handles the heat.

As the episode begins, the viewer gets a glimpse of the set where Hot Ones is filmed – a rustic wooden table with a banner that reads "The Last Dab." Sean welcomes Tyra to the show and explains the rules – they will have ten wings, each with a different hot sauce that gets progressively hotter. As the hotness level increases, Sean will ask more personal and challenging questions and viewers can expect to learn things they may not have known about the superstar.

The first wing, coated in the mild 'Classic' hot sauce, seems to be a breeze for Tyra. She explains how certain fears in her life have helped her to succeed in her career and is excited for what's to come. As they move onto the second wing, Sean asks about Tyra's start in modeling and challenges her to recreate some of her most famous poses. Tyra takes it in stride and shows off her versatility as a model.

As they continue through the lineup of sauces, Tyra opens up about her experience with colorism in the modeling industry and explains that she made a conscious decision to use her platform to promote diversity and inclusivity. Her conversation with Sean is inspiring and educational and the wings only get hotter as the two dive deeper into Tyra's career and personal life.

By the time they reach the infamous 'Da Bomb' sauce, Tyra is feeling the heat and her eyes begin to water. Sean asks her about her relationship with her mother and the two share a very emotional moment as Tyra begins to cry. Tyra explains how much her mother sacrificed for her when she was growing up and how much she means to her. This heartwarming moment is a reminder that beyond the spicy wings and celebrity status, these are real people with real emotions.

As the final wings approach, Tyra is practically sweating as she tries to keep her composure and answer the last of Sean's questions. The final 'Last Dab' sauce is known for being one of the hottest in the world and Sean describes it as "weapon-grade." Tyra courageously takes a bite and tries to hold back the tears as she describes the feeling of her entire mouth being on fire.

As the episode comes to a close, Sean and Tyra discuss her future plans for her career and how she wants to continue to inspire young women and promote body positivity.
