Ep 8. If My Grandmother Was That Hot, I'd Go For Her Too

In episode 8 of The Misery Index season 1, titled "If My Grandmother Was That Hot, I'd Go For Her Too," host Jameela Jamil welcomes contestants and introduces the panel of experts, consisting of comedian Brian Quinn, comedian Joe Gatto, and actress Jameela's own mother, Shireen Jamil.

Contestants are then presented with a series of clips featuring various unfortunate events or situations, and they must rate them on a scale of 1 to 100 based on how miserable they think they are.

In one clip, a man tries to impress his date by ordering an extremely spicy meal at a restaurant, only to end up sweating and coughing uncontrollably. In another clip, a man is stuck on a broken escalator for over an hour. The contestants must decide which of these situations would be more miserable.

Another clip features a man who accidentally sends a text meant for his mistress to his wife instead. The panel of experts must then guess what the man's excuse was to his wife for sending such a text.

The contestants are also presented with video of a man proposing to his girlfriend on live television, only for her to turn him down. The panel must guess the reason why the woman rejected the proposal, and the contestants must rate just how miserable this moment is.

As the episode progresses, the contestants are presented with clips featuring increasingly bizarre and awkward situations, such as a woman having to pee in a bar sink due to a broken bathroom, and a man being forced to sing karaoke in front of his coworkers while wearing a tutu.

Throughout the show, Jameela and the panel provide humorous commentary and banter, and the contestants try to guess each other's misery index ratings for each clip in order to win the grand prize money at the end of the episode.

Overall, episode 8 of The Misery Index season 1 provides a hilarious and cringe-worthy look at some of life's most awkward and uncomfortable moments, and leaves viewers laughing and cringing in equal measure.
