i completely forgot about it. Im usually home watching this but this year my job made us work today. You can still catch the contest if you tune in now.

Last time I saw this is when Kobayashi lost to that other guy. Had a jaw injury which impeded his progress in coming out on top. Hopefully he can recover this year.

People get injured in competitive eating? I could understand acid reflux, or stomach pains. But a jaw injury? Was he trying to go 4 at a time?:confused:

I don't remember if it was even competition involved but he came in injured and even acupuncture couldn't save him from losing the mustard belt to Joey Chestnut.

Woah, it could be a tie! What happens if there is a tie?

Evidently there was a tie at 50 something, maybe it wasn't that high but that's what I believe I saw on the "highlights" :lol:
Evidently there was a "dog off" as well, I think the American dude won......Joey Chestnut or something :lol:!
