This gut-busting, eat-\'til-you-drop, two-hour special pits 40 larger-than-life contestants against each other in unique competitive eating challenges. In the early rounds, competitors square off in a challenge to see how much or how fast they can consume. The winner in each round earns a spot in the finals, which will be an unbelievable, all-out gorge-fest with a big cash prize. The qualifying round categories will range from huge bowls of mayonnaise to beef tongue to sticks of butter. The final round -- not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach -- will include a surprise"delicacy", and won\'t end until only one competitor is left standing on the special.
Anybody else have the same morbid curiosity regarding this crap. I don\'t want to watch it tonight, but I don\'t think I have any other choice...
:facelick:

THey had this on Jacka** once. They ate all these hardboiled eggs, puked, and then kept on eating. I almost spewed every meal I had ever eaten in my life.
Only in America would 40 people degrade themselves in front of millions. It\'s a sad, sad world we live in today.

you obviously have never seen Japanese TV. :laughing:
-
When is it on & what channel???
-

lol. :laughing: Yeah, Japanese TV is a lot more degrading (and random I might add -- they really have some weird shows :)) than American.
The show is on tonight on Fox.

This Glutton Bowl is extremely gross yet strangly fascinating. As I am not fond of puking, or seeing others puke, I doubt I\'ll tune in, but I\'m interesting in reading about it afterwards. You\'d think after the Darva millionaire ordeal that Fox wouldn\'t attempt such a fiasco. No publicity is bad publicity I guess.
Chizzy\'s right about those foreign shows. It\'s silly and gross and torturous at the same time. I remember looong ago seeing a japanese show with a bunch of guys sitting in tubs full of ice, trying to see who could go without peeing for the longest...I can just see the men in business suits sitting around the table thinking that sh!t up. The Canal + Channel in France is damn near porn. I have no doubt that the U.S. is moving in the same direction as far as television, and I don\'t really have a problem with it. I DO hope that we have enough sense not to create Running Man style tv shows, and I do draw the line when it comes to things like rape, child abuse, etc. Parents need to be aware of, and prohibit if necessary, what their kids watch. Networks need to be partially responsible and not air Mature shows at 7:00pm. Otherwise, I am ready - ready for nudity on basic cable!
-
To hell with Japaneese TV. I want see some shows like they have in Russia.. you know.. endurance trials where two guys sit in there boxer shorts in a freezing cold meat locker while taking turns smacking each other in the head with a ball-pean hammer. Now THAT\'s entertainment!

Nope! Theres an Australian version of that show in April.
Also, while we are on disgusting foods, did anyone watch the Australian Fear Factor???
THEY HAD TO EAT BULLS TESTICLES!!!
Both of them!!!
-
I\'ve only watched Fear Factor once (during the superbowl), and that\'s the one I saw. Those balls were HUGE! It\'s funny that the females are the ones that bailed. At least they cooked \'em first.
Personally, the last stunt, with the car being dropped in the water while the contenstant was strapped in, would have been tougher than eating buffalo testes IMO.

a while back, someone sent me this video called "tokyo breakfast"

I laugh at dry, british, slap-stick, political, stand-up, ethnic, and prop comedy. But saying "nigga" 80 times in a six minute span just isn\'t funny. Especially when it\'s Koreans poking fun at a dominate African American youth culture of the early 90\'s.
-
you mean EXTRA dry
-
*hack *hack
Must be a hairball or something, hey mm, could you hand me some of your dull, wet, limp, soggy humor; I might be able to get this annoying, quickly worn out joke out of my throat.
P.S. how appropriate, this is my post # 1911[/u]
:clown:

I saw another Japanese program thats all about Women Peeing
yes urinary fun
they would rig up these troughs and guide them through turns drops water wheels then into a receptacle
so you have this Japanese Chick squating up on a pedestal while they video her urine going through the Guantlet
now thats just whacked
But if you ask me. The Glutton Bowl represents everything that is evil about the USA. We are Gluttons
-
That is soooooo true ddaryl.
Have you seen your fast food sizes??? THEY ARE RIDICULOUSLY HUGE!
Any wonder the US has the most overweight people.
Its scary though cause Australia is second (I think it is dusgusting how McDonalds have introduced USA sizes in Australia).
Britain is third or something.

That won\'t be torture for Chizzy- that\'s foreplay for him!
-
Q-tips? Ben Gay?
*swoon*
If you add pointing your .38 at me and some latex, I think I\'m moving to Kansas!
-
I\'d only use my .45 on you, Big boy.
You know, I\'d rather move to Buffalo. I spent part of my childhood in N. Tonawanda, and went to Niagara University for a short while. I\'d KILL for some real buffalo wings.
-
.45?
oHHHHHH I messed my keyboard.... ;)
Yeah Buffalo is cool with me, I used to think it sucked then I realized:
Low crime (unless you\'re a criminal)
Cheap rent, big apartments.
Close to other big cities.
no tornados, floods, earthquakes,volcanoes, etc all we get is snow! (and not that much of it, it hasn\'t snowed in months!)
ok, move here... (I can still have a girlfriend, right?)
:p
-
heh MM
that vid was pretty good imo - see i like all things funny
but yea i know that show you are talking about ddaryl - they have other weird shows too - like who can sweat the most amount and stuff
