These are the same people behind Fox News' "unbiased" coverage.

Sticks of butter???

 

[cjchaps]

They cancel family guy and futurama so they can show this crap? WTH!:|

The announcers were the best part. The stuff they were saying were some of the most rediculous things ever muttered on TV.

The last thing the announcer said, as the camera is panning out and the wrap up music is beginnning, was, "He is the greatest athlete on the planet." I was rolling on the floor.

But, that Tsunami guy was pretty incredible. It wasn't even a contest with him around.

Did you see the beginning as the one guy was introduced as "the president of F.O.C.E., short for, the Federation of Competitive Eating". (or somthing like that) I was rolling on the floor!!!! Those two guys should get Academy Awards for being able to keep straight faces. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Man, that was funny stuff.

The whole time they were saying things like, "This guy is a favorite. He's ranked very high by the FOCE and is expected by many to do very well."

Or, "The training these guys put in...these athletes are amazing. It's not just eating folks...this is competitive eating and these folks know how to do it."

Another favorite was the sushi part. They went on and on about one of the guys that competed in China (I think it was China) in a sushi contest and came away saying "I have learned the secret to sushi eating." Then, I think that was the first guy to bow out of that round. He was having a heck time with the wassabi.

I wish they had shown some of the barfing. I mean, they crossed line when airing this garbage, why not go all out.

Amen brother!! It is now "anything goes" on the FOX network.

It did not look as if the Ethiopians or Somalians were sporting a winning team this round!!!! You would think the Cambodians would do well, I have spent my whole life being told that "those starving kids in Cambodia would love that food you are wasting!!!! (hope noone is offended, I'm just playing)

Pretty damn pathetic. TV is becoming a wasteland; glad I cancelled my cable. The only thing good left to watch is sports and a couple of sitcoms.

 

[SerraYX]

It was pretty interesting to watch, though. I predicted the Rocky Mountain "Oysters" after the first round

I'd like to know the Japanese guy's secret..someone said he was born with an extra row of bottom teeth

 

[VirusDub]

Those were two of the lamest hours I've ever experienced in my life. It was funny as hell listening to the announcers, but I still can't believe I sat through the whole damn thing.

What's up with these 120 pound eating machines from Japan? One of them one the hot dog eating contest at Coney Island this year too.

These are the same people behind the Simpsons and Star Wars. What's your point?

Same guy. He is the Tsunami!

And from what I heard last night, he's the greatest athlete in the world.
