Finally, Mr. Blaine’s stunt ended with a big “F” as in failure. He successfully stayed inside his spherical water-filled tank for seven days, but he was failed to do his finale which should be done by holding his breath breaking the nine minutes record and unchaining his feet and arms.
Blaine managed to hold his breath for seven minutes, eight seconds before starting to shake and blow bubbles out of his mouth. (link)
I wonder if this stunt will still bring money to the productions. And the worst, Mr. Blaine might suffer a permanent brain injury.
He said a lack of adequate oxygen in Blaine’s brain during the breath-holding challenge, especially after seven days under water, carried a risk of irreversible brain injury (link)
Anyway, the big “F” as in fame he is after for has been successfully received by him. He will die with the big “F” as in blank on his head.

why is there such glee in your recounting of blaine’s failure to hold his breath for nine minutes as he said he would TRY. Did Blaine fail, as you so happily report? I doubt it. How many people can pull off that stunt? And for that matter, how many people can hold their breaths for 8 minutes? If you think that Blaine’s stunt was too shallow for your taste — as indicated by your scornful tone — why did you bother paying attention to it? Seriously.
