it is incomprehensible to me that this is a thing

people don't watch celebrities for intellectual reasons as your comment would seem to expect. Its for the spectacle / parasocial relations / interpassivity. To marx, the substitution of actual social life with the commodity. As such, the value of the commodity is the illusion of realness, and yes seeing them in pain does enhance this via our brains wiring toward empathy.

being autistic, other people do often watch things for reasons that make little sense to me, it's true

The idea is that as the guest becomes more distracted by the spiciness they become more authentic because they're too distracted to put up their masks
