[kizunaaa-luv]

I have a huge crush on Daniel McGuffey, a video game producer/lead singer of a band, who participated in MasterChef Season 5 nine years ago

It's been a crazy month. I've always known the show MasterChef but never had the interest to watch it until I saw some short clips of MC S4 on Chinese Tiktok (Douyin) in June or July this year. Genuinely, it was just really enjoyable seeing the short clips during my uni break, and I felt I could also improve my English by watching MC. So I decided to watch the actual show starting with S5. Lol that's how I started to binge watch the show! 🤣🤣

In the first episode, that's when I noticed this hot looking guy in a striped t-shirt, with lots of tattoos on his arms, and a pair of glasses. Yeah, it's Daniel McGuffey, lol, but I didn't pay much attention to him at the beginning (coz he barely had any screen time, I mean...). I was more into the show because of Leslie and Ahran, hahahah.

Then in ep12 or 13, when Daniel teamed up with Jaimee, he finally got some screen time, and I thought they looked really cute together, and kinda shipped them 🫢😳😳 This is when I started to pay much more attention to Daniel. However, ironically he soon got eliminated because of the stupid egg soufflé (only when I JUST started to like him A LOT).

Ok, so after I finished S5, I started searching for the contestants' social media to see how they are doing today, and of course, I went straight to Daniel, but guess what? His Instagram account is private. So I requested so many times, but he wouldn't accept my request🙁 So I went to Twitter, but it seems like his old account DanielKaiju was deleted. So I then switched to Facebook, and finally this time I found his account! I got to see recent photos & videos of him, yay!

From Facebook, I got to know that Daniel is now part of a band called The Pride, which I actually started listening to, lol. Their music is even available on the Chinese app QQ music!!!

I like Daniel so so much, so I wanted to find a place where I can share my thoughts. So I downloaded Reddit, an app I've never used before. Sadly, not many people talk about Daniel there. So I then searched for Daniel on Tieba (a Chinese platform similar to Reddit). Luckily, I found a number of posts that expressed their feelings for Daniel which also complimented Daniel's looks lol. Of course, these posts were from like 9 years ago, but I randomly felt the need to reply to some of the posts, and wow, a person actually soon replied to my comment! Lol, we started chatting about the show and how we both like Daniel. 🥰🥰

From this person (who has liked Daniel since 2014, unlike me who only started liking him in 2023🥲), I got to know much more about Daniel's personal life. For example, how he was part of the IWSNT music video, worked for WB, had a fiancée during MC era, got married after the show, but it seemed like they got divorced later though…

At this point, I kinda became a stalker, stalking the girl’s Instagram, and also Daniel’s friends’ insta…(I feel so creepy, I'm truly sorry for the stalking in past week, I just wanna know more about you😒😞😞)

Put that aside, it was rly surprising to know that Daniel filmed lots of music videos or just fun videos back then. Wow, what a talented man who can create video games, draw, act, sing, and cook! (And look so good at the same time😍

I seriously have a huge crush on you Daniel🥹🥹. I know you had lots of fangirls back then during your IWSNT era and when MC was aired. And now here's me, a 20 year old, new Chinese fangirl being crazy over you, a 41 year old American man who lives on the other side of the world. (I know this is so random…😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

Am I out of my mind? I think about him all day, use his photo as my wallpaper, talk about him with my real-life friends, and even write short unfinished stories of me traveling to America, bumping into him on the street, and falling in love with him... He seriously became my new ideal type. I was never drawn to white guys, but I guess I am now, especially those with tattoos. 🥲🥲 (Ok, I'm gonna say it, I feel really weird and creepy, but I'm gonna say it. I want to sleep with you so bad, Daniel McGuffey fk me hard...🥵)

Ok, anyways, enough of those creepy shits. Yesterday I posted about Daniel on Reddit, asking what people think about him. The comments were both positive and negative... whatever, it's not gonna change my pounding heart for Daniel. Also, I found Daniel's TikTok, it was a public account, so I decided to leave a comment, and yay, he liked my comment and replied! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 I'm literally in tears right now.

And today, I searched for Daniel once again on Google and found a post about him on Tumblr, which includes links to his older videos, those filmed like almost 20 years ago... lol, glad I found those videos of you, getting to know you more day by day...? So I once again downloaded an app I've never used before, that's how I got here on Tumblr!!!

He probably will never know, a random Chinese girl who's living in Australia has a huge, huge crush on him because of a show that aired 9 years ago. This is really weird, and I feel like a creep, but yes, I like you very, very much. I really wanna visit Los Angeles now, will I get to see your band perform?

Idk, I'm writing my feelings down and uploading them on Tumblr because I'm afraid that one day I will forget all of this...(hopefully not

Hope Daniel doesn't see this post EVER (can't imagine how embarrassing it will be for me... it would be so cringey/funny for him to see a fangirl's love letter, right...? xx)

Please don’t see me as a creep, I swear I’m a mentally healthy, normal, happy university student😂😂. I’m just being huge fan girl nowadays😆 (idk I felt the need to explain

“Do you had a favorite part of the show?

One of my favorite part was actually Taylor. I’m a big Taylor Swift fan. I thought she was... I thought she rocked it, rocked the runway. She is the sweetest girl, so down to earth. I was really pleasantly surprised by how nice and normal she is.

We saw you guys dancing a little when you were on the runway together and that was such a little girl crush moment for us. Were you guys friends before? How did that come about?

No. We met at the show, we never met before but we’re BFFs now. No. We really are. We hung out since and she’s really nice. It’s nice to meet another American girl, sort of. We’re the same age and she’s so inspiring for, you know, she’s so talented but she’s true to who she is. She’s a cool girl and I’m glad she’s in the show this year, she rocked it.

Tell us how it’s like to hang out with her one on one because it just sounds like a dream date come true?

We both just normal. I guess, at the end of the day we’re normal girls.”

Cosmopolitan on Youtube - Karlie Kloss Talks Taylor Swift

“I will tell you. She is the coolest girl, she is so sweet. That was really the first time I got the chance to meet her and -you know we’ve crossed paths a bunch of times- and you know at the show, it’s such a fun experience, and I really got the chance to get to know her. 

What did you talk about?

She’s a normal girl. She’s not that much older than me, she’s like two years older than me, but I mean normal girl stuff you know. I don’t know. Boys and dancing-

Award Shows

Of course, as one does. So, she’s a really nice girl that I’ve gotten to know, so yes.

“No doubt. It appears that your cut influenced the celebrity crowd, too—including your friend Taylor Swift. Has she taught you any good beauty tips? 

She does a killer red lip. I’ll give that girl credit. She can whip a red lip on like nobody else, and it’s amazing. Even if we’re working out, she’ll have on this gorgeous red lip. She’s not human!”

“Do you push her at the gym, or does she push you? Who is more competitive?

We’re a good team because we kind of push each other just to get there, just to get to the door! It’s important to have a good friend that challenges you—even if it’s simply to get to the gym.”

“Who is better in the kitchen?

I love to bake, because I’ve always had a sweet tooth. My Gran—she taught me how to bake my whole life, but cooking was never something I ever took the time to learn. I would always rather have a cookie than make some complicated dinner! But Taylor is an expert.”

“What is Taylor**’**s signature dish?

I’m vegetarian, so I don’t eat meat, but she makes a mean Brussels sprouts and cauliflower side dish that is tasty, and grilled fish. She’s Chef Boyardee!”
