Wellington Smith Yes yes you are a genius!!! 💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️ ❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜 This comment cracked me up so hard.... I was always wandering if Tommy and Christine have tried Lobster or Octopus or maybe Shark. To be honest I hate Octopus though. My step dad was dared to try it and honestly it will mess up your senses. They asked me if I wanted to try it and it did mess up my senses.

@jacquelinesmith-jackson2815 4 жыл бұрын

Wellington Smith Yes if you do not clean the Octopus it will mess up your senses. Have you ever smelled crack and cocaine??

I didn't realize this before but when I was 13 and 14 years old, I smelled something that was putrid as hell. Now I am disabled and I was born at 24 weeks early. I didn't know what the smell was at the time. It was Crack and fucking Cocaine. I actually was puking for 2 or 3 years because of those drugs. I am Visually Impaired and when someone has Vision Impairments there are therapists that will teach you how to use your other senses to detect different things. I was puking for 2 or 3 years.

This is so cute. I fell in love with Christine on Masterchef. She has such a beautiful, bubbly personality. I almost always forget that she's blind until she actually has to look for something. I love people that live life to the fullest, regardless of their mental or physical handicaps. Kudos to the both of them!

I haven't tried to smell a bag of Hi-Chew before but I found it interesting how quickly Tommy recognized a fruit smell even though he was smelling the bag filled of still individually wrapped candies.

@xxka0tikkxx 5 жыл бұрын

Well when one sense goes the others are a bit amped to compensate. You ever turned down the music when trying to find someones house or something like that while in a car? It seems like "why would I turn down music to help me see?" But it has basis in practice. Try it next time maybe. Close your eyes and actually focus on smelling something. Without the extra input from other senses the one you focus on is a bit more enhanced. In Tommy's case his whole life and ability to survive has been dependent on his scent, sound, and touch so hes developed those senses more
