But this time, he doesn't want to do the whole "stay underwater for a week" thing beforehand.

Blaine was pretty upset that he didn't break the record, so now he wants to try it again. He feels he let fans down, so he is going over exactly what happened before he tries it again.

Personally, I'm rather impressed that he failed. And what I mean by that is, I (and I'm sure many people) thought that he would do it with no problems, because he had practiced for so long and he had succeeded in all of the other stunts. Not that it was a "trick," but just that he seems to know what he's doing and it was almost a no-brainer, inevitable that he would do it, and it would be almost an anticlimax to the whole overlong ABC special. But that fact that he actually didn't succeed shows how dangerous it was, that he was really attempting to hold his breath almost nine minutes and there wasn't any trickery involved.

I think this makes his next stunt, whatever it is, even more interesting to me. I'll be watching.
