Competetive eating

Not only is he not very big... hes ripped.

Also a couple of the other "really good" people are smaller... some asian woman and a little old man are apparently really good at eating fast. When I was watching, the old guy set some record...

Badlands Booker is obviously the coolest competitive eater.

Watching them cram that italian food in their mouth the other night was totally gross

The announcers here are awesome...calling these guys world class athletes, etc....too funny.

actually, that asian dude who pwned the nathan's hotdog open is pretty tiny

He's the exception. Most of the guys on the competitive eating circuit are pushing at least 3 or 4 bills.

At least half the people at the hot dog contest LOOKED relatively fit. There was the younger asian girl, the guy who won it, eater-x or whatever, the more built white guy, the older woman, and probably a few others I've forgotten.

From what I've seen, the fat guys do far worse at this than the skinny ones.

The Nathan's hot dog eating contest is different, though. It's a yearly tradition that's been around far longer than the "Competitive Eating Circuit". The average competitor in the hot dog eating contest (other than the top 3 finishers or so) doesn't put away as much food as the Competitive Eating people do.

I can't stop myself from wondering what the following couple days are like for these people after eating 30+ hot dogs. It can't be pretty, and that is even more disgusting.

I agree with the carwreck. The main reason I watch this wierd crap is just to hear the announcers....ha ha they can turn grass growing into something interesting to watch and hear.

Good Lord. That's just disgusting.
