Ep 16. Feel the Burn

In The Misery Index season 3 episode 16 entitled "Feel the Burn," teams of family and friends compete to determine the levels of misery associated with real-life events. The show features five rounds, each with its own topic related to everyday occurrences.

In the first round, contestants are shown a video clip and must guess the misery index number. In round two, a panel of experts provides a fact about a particular experience, and the contestants must guess whether the misery index number is higher or lower than a given number.

Round three involves the contestants guessing the misery index related to certain scenarios using their intuition. In the fourth round, an animated video is showcased, and participants need to guess the misery index number by simply watching the plot. In the final round, players must determine the misery index ranking of two photographs side-by-side.

As the episode progresses, the teams compete in each round to determine their score and eventually win the game. The contestants are helped by a cast of characters, including The Tenderloins (Joe, Q, Murr, and Sal), hosts Jameela Jamil and Brian Quinn, along with the "Misery Master" himself, Dr. Misery (James Murray).

There are plenty of laughing, cringing, and jaw-dropping moments throughout the episode as the teams guess the misery index numbers. For example, in one round, the contestants must determine the misery index rating of a man who had his ear bitten off by a camel. In another round, they must determine the misery index number of a woman who got stuck in a toilet seat after using too much glue to fix it.

It is not only the contestants who are in on the fun. The hosts, along with the "Misery Master," offer their take on each situation and revel in the misery that the contestants have to face. In addition to the main game, there are other segments that keep the viewers entertained as well. For instance, the hosts play a game called "Make It Worse," where they try to come up with ways to make already terrible situations even worse.

Overall, "Feel the Burn" offers an entertaining and humorous take on the misery that people experience in their lives. The episode showcases a range of relatable and bizarre situations, providing plenty of opportunities for the teams to test their intuition and experience the misery index themselves. The show is perfect for those who enjoy a good laugh and don't mind a bit of cringe humor.
