this is like a cross between the olympics, fear factor and iron chef with huge apologies to all those shows! the announcers and contestants are a riot. i cant believe this is making me laugh, it is so unlike anything i would normally enjoy watching. quote for the night: Just remember its not a food , its a sauce! (re mayonaise)

btw, that was an announcer quote, not mine.
i think my hubbys laughter might of influenced me on this one, cuz i might otherwise hate this. but i am curious if it is making any one else roflao
and the guys winning are the little skinny ones. i think the most bizarre thing is that we are skipping back and forth between gluttons, olympics and the british antique road show. and the olympics channel is sandwiched between gluttons and WWF. what a nutty world...

I haven't seen the show. All I know is, mayonnaise is one of the five major food groups -

Butter, mayonnaise, maple syrup, pepperoni pizza, and dessert

Juju, you should enjoy not watching it. Don't watch the little Japanesse guy at all. He really wasn't too interesting. Just ask Donut. She didn't watch it with me either.
20 MINUTES TILL UNSHOW TIME!!! HOOO HOOOO

I saw it briefly while flipping through the channels, waiting for Michelle Kwan. Since I was busy gorging myself at the same time, I couldn't stomach seeing them pig out too!

Oh my goodness! All I can say is I dearly hope Weinermr caught this one and that he can take over for a spell after I poop out (no pun intended).

A lot of careful craftmanship has gone into this show, right down to the co-host, George Shay (phonetic) who is himself the Chairman of the International Federation of Competitive Eaters (IFCE). Dang, and I didn't get the other guy's name, the "talent," the eye candy, so to speak. Anyway, he warned at the beginning of the show, and quite authoritatively, I might add, that all of the contestants are professionals eaters, the show is under strict medical supervision, and under no circumstances should anyone attempt this at home. (hmmmmm, maybe we better get the chess match spectators over here)

The show consisted of about eight rounds of competition with five contestants for each round. The competitors are introduced with fanfare and a citing of their qualifications and vital statistics. They ranged in age from 23 to about 49 and in poundage from 132 to 404. They were mostly U.S. competitors, with one from Ukraine, one from Canada, and one from Japan. They had all won food eating competitions of one sort or other. My favorite in the food specialty department was the Jalapeno King of Texas. Each competitor had a moniker. My favorite of the monikers was The Doginator, whose specialty was hot dogs.

After the contestants are introduced, the food they are to eat is dropped in front of them from a 55 gallon drum. This is mainly for effect, and they don't eat the dropped food, but the same food in unsmashed condition. Each round is timed, and the one who eats the most wins and advances to the final round. There is a runner-up in each round, and those competitors participate in a wild card elimination later on to see which one of them will participate in the final round.

I am sorry I did not start taking notes earlier in the program because this was hilarious stuff. The announcers were practically breathless with excitement over each round. I'm sure it had to be our expert commentator George Shay who intoned with reverence that Takeru "The Tsunami" Kobyashi from Nagano, Japan, might be the world's greatest eater. During the mayonnaise round, George informed the viewers, "They are gonna have to suck it. They cannot let themselves try to chew." And then later he confided what some of us already suspected about the mayonnaise, "These guys are gonna have horrible aftereffects." George was clearly impressed with the winner of the mayonnaise round, Oleg "The Great" Zhornitsky from Ukraine. George gushed, "He has clearly set a new world record in mayonnaise!"

My favorite, The Doginator, chewed up the competition and won his round of eating beef tongue, making it to the final round to chow down on cow brains (one wonders if they will show this program in Great Britain, mad cow disease and all). Alas, my man went down in flames before the frenzied performance of perhaps the world's greatest eater, 23 year old Takeru "The Tsunami" Kobyashi. The 132 pounder made dogmeat of The Doginator.

No surprise you would find Doginator your favorite moniker. This is a rather extensive review of this show and makes me wish I didn't watch it with all the rest of you that didn't watch it.

Juju, your last paragraph was too cute.
