marfar7 1,533 Posted October 19, 2013 Its a show on the Travel Channel that stars Adam, a food challenger that travels the US taking food challenges. Like. 4 lbs buger with 2 lbs of fries that he has to finish in 30 minutes. Or finishing 50 super hot wings in 30 minutes. Ot how bout the 6 lbs of deep fried turkey nuts he eats in 60 minutes? Today I saw him finish a 9 lb steak platter in 1 sitting. He's successful in about 90% of the challenges. It grosses me out, makes my tummy hurt, but at the same time it pulls me in. He's a little chubby but by@no means obese. Not sure if he eats at any other time. I ate about 2 oz too much last nite and paid for it on the toilet (sorry, tmi). I can't imagine finishing 9 lbs of food. Can u imagine? Toward the end of any challenge, u see him getting a little sick, mouth start watering, sweating. Not sure if he ever vomits (of course it never shows that part). I think my tummy would rupture at about 1/10th of his challenges. And I'm being totally serious when I say RUPTURE. Anyone else watch this show? Like I said, it makes me cringe, sometimes making my stomach turn but it always pulls me in.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karnie 66 Posted October 19, 2013 I am embarrassed to say that I love this show! Maybe it takes me back to the days where I would eat until feeling like a stuffed pig!! I don't know but it is definitely my guilty pleasure!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joatsaint 2,814 Posted October 19, 2013 I watched it when it first started but not since surgery. It seemed to be the same show over and over, with little change. Then again, I started getting put off with all the food shows celebrating the U.S.'s overeating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LBD 121 Posted October 19, 2013 I often imagine this show being played prime time on French television... Disparaging remarks about gluttonous gross Americans would be the talk at street side cafés... Lol. He is pretty impressive though... I cannot imagine that he wouldn't have a giant bucket waiting for him after the filming.... Don't think I could watch it now... Last time I watched it he was eating a cinnamon bun the size of my dog!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
