GLUTTON BOWL #1 (on Fox)
 

I just heard about this.

oh my..

another quality program for FOX.

we are missing new Ticks, Family Guy, etc, for this?

I'm gonna be sick.

I'm I the only one that thinks "Who wants to marry a Glutton Bowl Champion" is the direction Fox is heading in?

:lol:

das

Hilarious!

This truly has to be the lowest that a network can sink. I'm really appalled.

Like Americans need incentive to eat more. *reaches for Nut-rageous*

I am fully confident that Fox can still sink lower.

Fox is always seeking out new ways to sink lower...

When is Fox going to learn from these shows? Just wait for the guy's heart to explode from O.D.ing on Cheez Whiz and the subsequent lawsuit. Or maybe that is what Fox is hoping for...seems the negative publicity from these reality shows is all they have to go on these days.

I cant wait :lol:

The Tick was cancelled :( to bad to because that show was FUNNY! Great casting. Great lines.

"Nope."

"Arthur you have to squeeze the milk of life into a dirty glass and drink it warm."

"He's here to spread his creamy justice all over the nooks and crannies of The City."

I've had such a crappy day today at work, but this quote made me laugh for once. Thanks mmconhea!

Now they're forced to eat sticks of whole butter.

::throws up::

whats worse

that they would actually have a show like this on

or that some of you are actually watching it

:lol:

This is quite possibly the dumbest and sickest thing i've seen on TV....

I HATE FOX.

They'll cancel good shows, but they'll put this absolute crap on air.

"We are seeing history here tonight!!!" ????

These comentators must be on something.

Anyone else catch the contestant wearing the Tshirt with a picture of himself on it...

"Masticate, gurgitate, satiate"

At first I thought this must be a joke , but I recognized the Japanese kid from the Nathan's hotdog contest. Sure enough it was him:

Apparently IFOCE is for real: http://www.ifoce.com/

Some interesting things I learned
"The IFOCE will not sanction or promote any events that do not adhere to the highest safety regulations.The IFOCE discourages at-home training. The only training regimen endorsed by the IFOCE is the "Water Method," which is to drink quantities of water over a period of several days in preparation for a match."

For $25K, they kill themselves?! They have a "federation" for these guys?! Man, some of them look like they're gonna have a freaking heart attack - aka the Sonny guy eating the tongue! Intestinal fortitude!? These guys are just soooooo funny! Man, the commentators have me rolling on the floor!

And man, is the presenting chick HOT or what!!!!!

I donno. That Japanese guy looks pretty darn cute! -eek-

All right, all you thread crappers! Which one of you has the stones to admit you tuned in and stayed for a while? Huh?

:crap: :crap: :crap:

I haven’t had so much fun since my colonoscopy! :lol:

Remember: these are professionals. Do not try this at home!!

rotfl

I watched it until the first commercial. What the **** was that? Horrible. I'm interested to see what the ratings are like for the show.

BTW, did "Badlands" end up winning it? Please spoilerize the answer in case some people haven't seen it yet.

How the he!! can they eat a second round? Did they like puke themselves out during the break? And Rocky Mountain Oysters?! OH MAN!!!

Hey Iron Chef, what will you give them to eat?! Crap?! Umm, I meant crab?! 8-D

I pretty much watched the whole thing. It was worthy to see Kobayashi (I'm sure I screwed that up) alone...to watch any other eating event at all not involving this guy would be pointless. I mean 54 brains, and the nearest competitor was like on number 18 or so? He was a machine...and weighing in at 135 pounds, he hardly looked like he could have a heartattack at any moment.

I've got no problem watching stuff like this...just like people who watch NASCAR and things of the like...come on...no one's watching to see a bunch of left turns...they want to see the carnage....same deal here, this is just in a different way (kinda, sorta).

How is it humanly possible to eat sooooo much stuff?! Does he like have some super digestive enzyme or something? Maybe he's really THE FLY!

wat a gret shoi!i tok tim off from studi to be 1 doctir in cumminitey colluge and shoi was thi bom.miy mothar get stuck in da outhouse during cummercial and i muss sum of shoi but mi annd al miy freinds in traler parrk ar tolking abut it. i hop fox sho moore stuff lik thes or maybee pig wrasslin or a nicee hootananny. io gots go so ikin wach 700 clob an sendd them som ov miy papper moni i gets from govermint.
