Disgusting contest and unmanly. Literally one of the seven deadly sins.

[sphinx]

Is this an Olympic sport yet?

[desertsolitaire]

Makes me wonder if the contestants are not allowed to touch plates, post performance so that the tally by judges may proceed unimpeded. It should be obvious enough on tape if there was empty plate handling occuring, by whom, and let the chips fall from there.

Surprisingly, (at least to me) competitive eaters DON'T look like Mr. Creosote. Here are Nick Wehry, Miki Sudo, and their unborn child:

Imagine being the guy who cheats in a hotdog eating contest? Hope ta’ hell he didn’t do it.

[Jamestown1630]

I agree. This has always seemed disgusting to me, and it must be very unhealthy for the people who do it, too.

Are you sure she is pregnant? Maybe she just completed a contest.

[NorthMountain]

Well ... I didn’t do an ultrasound or stick and endoscope up there ...

But there are plenty of pictures of them with an infant.

Judges? The whole Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest is as bona fide as a wrestling match for the belt. The judges are likely paid with a hat, shirt, and all the hot dogs they can eat the day of the contest.

“Well…I _feel_ like I’ve eaten 51.75 hot dogs!” 🤢

Major League Eating (MLE), the governing body overseeing competitive eating contests.

okey-dokey, so how much money do they get from the contest ?

Right up there with the guys caught with lead in their walleye at weigh-in.

[faithhopecharity]

if he wants to win the silly contest so badly,
maybe he can cut off his personal hot dog (assuming he has one) and eat that, too

[faithhopecharity]

he sounds like prime material for the next DNC POTUS candidate

[desertsolitaire]

Thanks. Oh. I somehow assumed it had some air of officialty about it like the Guinness records thing, or grandmaster chess matches (chess cheats use remotely activated vibrating anal plugs to coach moves from outside their matches; who knew?)

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Why not celebrate Pride Month and Gluttony Month simultaneously?

[Publius]

Don’t forget Lust Month!

[9YearLurker]

His wife won her division with 51 dogs, so he had to cheat to get to 51 1/2 dogs.

I think these eating contests are Disgusting
