I started watching this recently. It’s a pretty fun show that always makes me hungry.
I wish there was a way to silence that annoying background music! Why does seemingly every show use that same, irritating music?!
Other complaint I have is I wish they’d show the price of the gigantic meal. I especially would love to know the price of the challenge meal from the Alaska episode.
So, dump the music and show the price!
I’m a fan of the show and am glad they offer it on On Demand with my cable company now.
Is it me or does Adam look heavier in this season 3 than he did in the beginning?
He actually did a challenge just 2 minutes from my house. It was the one with the worlds biggest hamburger.
I don’t know if Adam is heavier this season or not, but that ad they show with him for Anthony Bourdain’s 100th episode, is well… he’s lookin’ hot rockin’ that beard. Yum.
He looks fatter.
He does look a little heavier, but I think Adam is adorable!
In general, I’m not a fan of competitive eating, but Adam’s personality and the fact that his show is on pretty much constantly have won me over. I like how he is sincere and appreciative rather than snarky about local cooks and restaurants.
[There was some guy who used to be on Travel Channel (I think) who always seemed to wink, and look down his nose, and snark at the audience about the restaurants he visited. Shit, I can see him in my head and can’t summon his name, but I hated that too-cool, superior vibe his show had. Mark Something, maybe?]
Anyway, I usually root for food to win, but I love seeing Adam sweat through some super-hot wings or try to stuff a six cheeseburgers with fries and slaw down his gullet in 30 minutes. And I love the end-of-show press conference.
I agree completely. But the show would be 1000 times better without that damn irritating background “music”.
I actually love the noncompetition places he visits, the foods look really interesting. I am not inclined to try volcanic hot wings, but I might be interested in chicken fried steak, or a really killer diner. Though it is fun watching him eat the wings, or whatever =)
That alaskan episode looked interesting, just not quite so much food =)
