But if she was looking for a clear answer about the 'right' way, she didn't get one; the responses seemed almost evenly divided.

'People looking at the water… are you okay?!' someone asked.

“Who doesn't look at the water,” asked another.

“No, because voluntary waterboarding doesn't sound fun at all,” someone else added.

There were also many people who shared that they look both ways during the show.

'I'm constantly moving around like a rotisserie chicken! Equal time on both sides,” one user explained.

“I'm constantly rotating like a kebab,” someone else agreed.

“I look at the water when it's hair wash day and I look away from the water when I need to wash my hair,” another shared.
