Thinking about it, this is the perfect scenario for a contestant that wants to be eaten. After all, by pinning him down like that, Nala is demonstrating her physical superiority and forcing him to face her pony-filled belly, showing him what his fate is to be.
 
Of course, there’s also the fact that he can be devoured at any stage of the proceedings.
 
If he can’t answer the riddles, he’ll be gobbled regardless. Even if he does know the answers, he could just get them wrong anyway. If he gets them all right, there’s no guarantee that Nala won’t just gulp him down anyway.
 
Even assuming he correctly answers every riddle and Nala releases him, there’s nothing in her rules that says he can’t just ask to be devoured. Perhaps she’ll even allow him to watch as the previous contestant is broken down, then swallow him afterwards.

Why is she so small? It cool to see another sphinx oc though. I have one called Nailah

It’s a win win
