The Mirror has an interview with Adam Richman where he has the following for people disappointed in his retirement from competitive eating: "I’m giving my haters the finger. I’m not ­giving them the ­satisfaction of having health ­problems."

    They should have gave the show to Badlands or Coondog and it may have actually went somewhere. Richman was annoyingly over the top and he couldn’t eat. He came off as an ass too.

    Seiken would have taken it to another level. He auditioned for the part also

    U r a fan, not a hater, if u r disappointed that Richman stopped doing challenges. Go on the net and watch Naader’s exploits.

    Not true at all, just sour grapes on the part of 2:18 am and 9:12 am. They did not want a professional eater for the show, they almost went with CLC as he is an entertainer too. Richmond had a background in acting, the show was successful until it was not. Such a small community of haters and jealous comments on here, that is a shame because there a good people who do not comment on here. Maybe Badlands reads, maybe Coondog reads, maybe others, or they go away because it is so not tasty. Badlands is everywhere and would not have made the best choice for many reasons. Or, they could have not ended the show but had several people. But things have a shelf-life. Even without Richmond himself deciding to end the show, it would have lost its pizazz. Nothing lasts in popularity for long.

    Adam Richman’s show, “Man vs.Food”, was one of the major reasons competitive eating became so popular in the past few years. Without that, there most likely wouldn’t have been a recent explosion of restaurant eating challenges.

    Richman is a lazy ass. The few times that he eats att a challenge is not the “reason” he’s fat and unhealthy, its what he’s not doing outside the show. Just excuses, not reasons. He’ll be forgotten about soon enough.

    I will never understand why there are people who hate on Adam Richman and Man v. Food. A competitive eater as the host would have sucked and the show would not have been successful, Adam won enough challenges to keep the show interesting, and yeah, he was fat already, but obviously doing eating challenges and traveling around the world to eat donut burgers and stuffed pizza isn’t the best idea for someone who has a tendency to be fat already.

    Travel Channel is gay. I hate all of their shows. I don’t want to look at fat, middle-age guys stuffing their pusses with gross-me-out food. Why can’t they do food shows with hot, young, buff guys eating healthy foods? All that meat and grease is what’s killing people. That’s why doctors have to put them on statins so their arteries wont burst open and their hearts don’t get clogged up with grease. Watching the Travel Channel is like smoking cigarettes, and at the same time you get dumber just watching their gay shows.

    I’m another guy who abhors TTC. What a load of bullshit shows. Adam Richman is a dick-head, lard ass dweeb whose on camera pretentiousness is just as pathetic as he is in real life. That “Ghost Adventures” faggot, Zack Bagans, is another prick. This guy is a complete sham. How many more times do those guys have to be “locked down” in old buildings to get all of that bogus “evidence” they capture? EVP’s! LOL!!! How many more times is gelled haired Zack going to be scratched by a “demon?” Come on Travel Channel must you cater only to cretins?!!

    The other night I was flipping through channels and I landed on The Travel Channel. I never, ever watch anything on that network, but I happened to stay on the channel for a minute examining the flashy promo The Travel Channel was running for Richman’s latest show. It looked incredibly juvenile, staged “reality” fare, with a bunch of high octane people of various calibers pretending to have a grand time. Sorry Travel Channel but you’re just another network that’s fallen head first into the trash can. And don’t get me started on that freak Bret Michaels and those putrid RV “renovations.”
