love him. love the show. love the premise. i like when it isn't something that seems more like a challenge as opposed to a physical impossibility.

like eating a dozen insanely hot wings? ok. eating a 25 pound "pizza"? waste of time.

The one where he was eating the super hot soup was painful to watch...actually they're pretty much all painful to watch.

He's adorable though.

5 lbs. Tough but not impossible. I know some people who I think could do it. I've personally done about 3 lbs worth of burgers in a single sitting.

Great show. Awesome, awesome.

In all the ones I've seen I don't think I've seen him fail one of the spicy challenges, it's always the volume ones that he falls short, though he's beaten a few of them like that 72oz steak with sides.

Caught the show when he was in my old stomping grounds of Seattle, that was pretty cool. I couldn't help thinking this guy is gonna die of a clogged-artery-induced heart attack before he's 40. Most of the food looks awesome, though, I must say.
