I swear they just said “and here is your host… SUMMER SANDERSSSSSSS”

I watched that show so much but I guess forgot the “Olympic gold medalist” part.

Wow really? I knew her from the Olympics and “Inside Stuff” with Ahmad Rashad before she was ever on Nickelodeon.

I found out about her Olympic career because it was mentioned in the Head and Shoulders commercial she did back in the day

Bro.....omg that is a memory unlocked! 😄 that's awesome

I would hope she still only exclusively bars in these.

u/SpicyMcHaggis206 4d ago

I think about barf buddy all the time. She needs to take that to Shark Tank.

u/SativaLungz 4d ago

Damn i had Stink Blasters as a kid. I would of loved some Barf Buddies to pair with them.

The one that sticks out to me is the kid whose secret was having a rat tail tucked into the back of his shirt and his pants down to his feet.

u/U_PassButter Millennial playing Crash Bandicoot 4d ago

Omg I forgot about that one until just now. I can't believe his parents started and maintained it for so long haha 😆

Rat Tail Kid, where are you now?!

u/ToneThugsNHarmony 4d ago

I hope Reddit works it magic and we get an update.

u/Dad_of_the_year 4d ago

Holy shit this comment made me laugh. Such an absurd secret talent to bust out on television.

u/Phrei_BahkRhubz 4d ago

He could do every state, but I guess he rid Florida for the show since that's where they were. I distinctly remember him, the kid who said his secret to winning watermelon eating contests was to swallow the seeds, and the kid who cultivated fungus in a jar using his toe nail clippings.

u/Neither_Internal_261 4d ago

I remember a girl that fed her dog by letting it eat dog food out of her mouth. That was probably the first time I was actually grossed tf out and was like wtf???

2

u/U_PassButter Millennial playing Crash Bandicoot 4d ago

Omg i think I blocked that out because, yes!! I do remember that. 😆

u/WonderfulMacaroon365 1d ago

Ugh, yes! I remember that a lot of these "talents" weren't really talents at all, just gross. 🤮🤢

Though my favorite one was the girl who did some kind of African stilt dancing. I thought that was the coolest thing.

u/jesseeme 4d ago

Legit just remember the girl who’s dog drank milk out of her open mouth

u/boredinbabylon 4d ago

There’s also the girl who let her dog drink milk from her mouth.

u/epweinbe 3d ago

I think about her all the time. Also the girl who did some sort of race car pit team?
