In a bold move to redefine personal achievement, reality TV star Sam Thompson has set a rather unique New Year’s resolution: to become the reigning “Shot-Down Champion” at the popular London nightspot, Kensington Rooftop Gardens. This announcement comes on the heels of a particularly spirited New Year’s bash, where Thompson was spotted competing fiercely against the clock and his liver, all while his long-term girlfriend, Zara McDermott, was notably absent. Sources close to the situation revealed that Thompson’s decision arose after he witnessed an impressive display of shot-drinking prowess from his fellow partygoer, Reza Amiri-Garroussi. Inspired, and evidently a few shots in, Thompson declared, “Why not make this a thing?” Eyewitness reports claim that the 32-year-old reality star was in exceptional spirits, engaging in a series of flamboyant dance moves that could only be rivaled by a peacock on caffeine. Video footage circulating online shows Thompson hoisting shot glasses like a champion Olympic weightlifter, with a grin that suggested he had just outsmarted gravity, at least temporarily. While some may argue that becoming a Shot-Down Champion is hardly a pinnacle of personal success, Thompson has assured fans he’s taking this resolution seriously. “It’s about the thrill of the chase and the camaraderie of ‘cheers!’ in the face of low standards,” he exclaimed to a throng of amused onlookers. Critics have pointed out that such aspirations might be detrimental to both his health and relationships. Rumors swarm that Zara McDermott, who was absent from the festivities, might have allegedly expressed concerns over Thompson’s newfound goal, especially after the last time he vowed to “get fit” — which ended with him trying to lift weights made of miniature kebabs. Undeterred by naysayers, Thompson has since issued a tongue-in-cheek statement expressing his commitment to “upholding the prestigious title of Shot-Down Champion.” Although many are left pondering the long-term implications of such resolutions, one thing is for sure: if Thompson's past experiences with alcohol are any indication, the road to becoming a champion may just involve an extended stint at the bar and numerous regrets the next morning. Fans and critics alike are already placing bets on how long it will take for his self-imposed title to become a story of a hangover in history, with many hoping Thompson documents each shot on social media for “educational” purposes. As the revelry continues, one can only hope there’s a safety net involved in this daring endeavor — perhaps a designated driver, a paramedic on speed dial, and a very patient group of friends ready to carry him home after one too many “championship rounds.”
