Many among the irate 8,000 observers reveal that Blaine is taking hourly breaks, “to drink water, urinate, have his vitals checked by a doctor and keep his blood circulating.”
Blaine's not the only one whose claims are being called into question. Blaine stunt watcher Doug Tims has been accused of similar, pledge-breaking actions. “Freakin’ Doug said he’d hang with me to watch Blaine for the whole time,” stated Brian Shepner, a self-described “buddy” of Tims, who has not only taken numerous bathroom breaks during the intense Shepner-Tims three-hour vigil so far, but left “like, five times” to go to the hot dog stand. "And when he's not doin' that, he's calling his girl, who hates him, by the way, or he's playin' Flick Bowling on his iPhone. This is totally not right," concluded Shepner, as Blaine was lowered yet again.
