Contest Time!

This is it, ladies.  The week the Golden Heart and Rita Finalists are announced.

*Blows noisemaker here*

I don't have a dog in this race (not a PC phrase but it fits) so I'll just be watching enviously on the sidelines while everyone else reaches their goal.



 

 

There are the olympic men in 2010.  So we've got some eye candy.

But is there any contest that's your favorite?  For me, the one that fills me with disgust and fascination, is the Philadelphia Wing Bowl.   With names like, El Wingadore and Drunken Mussel, I'm totally grossed out but I can't stop watching.

How about you?

It's sad that I don't recognize most of the guys in those pictures. Except Bode, he's a cutie.

I think all eating contests should be banned. With so many across this planet starving, making gorging an actual sport is just cruel and wrong.

But then I'm a fan of things like the Oscars, so what do I know? LOL!

Well said, Bo'sun. Well said.

I can't get into the Oscars. I like watching the movies but the awards show is like watching preening peacocks clapping politely.

Agree with Bosun--but then I think they should ban NASCAR with the fact gas being so expensive, why do they get to burn up so many gallons just for sport?

But I do love me some wings. I just don't want to get in a contest about it and I certainly don't want anyone watching me eat them.

OMG, I just heard a bazillion NASCAR fans are heading for Missouri to burn Hellion at the stake...

I'm with the Bo'sun about food eating contests...

Nascar. *shivers*

I love wings too. But wings are messy. There's a woman who eats in this contest, I think they call her the Black Widow. She's a very small Asian woman and she's won a handful of times. I'm horrified/fascinated by her. Where does she put it all?

Chance - LOL!!

Couldn't agree more with Bo'sun. You'd think that, since we are the fattest country on the planet, food eating contests would be considered in really bad taste. But that apparently is not the case.

So, in my opinion the most disgusting would be the Rocky Mountain Oyster eating contest.
