They need to bring back The Great Gavonne. The only eater worth watching. All the other eaters are boring slobs only concerned with $$$ & numbers. Gavonne is pure entertainment!

You shouldn’t call Big Eater Mike or anyone a midget as an insult. Why would you think that using a genetic condition as an insult is ok?
