“Bones” competitive eating episode November 10
A press release announces that the competitive eating episode of Bones, titled “The Hot Dog in the Competition” will be televised on the Fox Network on November 10. Johnnie Excel and other competitive eaters are expected to appear on the program. A synopsis of the episode from the press release:
The Jeffersonian team identifies the remains of a competitive eating champion just days before the start of the Gluttony Games, a premiere eating competition with a $10,000 prize at stake. The remarkable work of the exceptionally brilliant new squint and former juvenile delinquent Finn (guest star Luke Kleintank) links obscure evidence found in the belly of a snake with laws of physics in order to solve the crime. Despite his undeniable virtuosity in the lab, Finn is met with hostility and skepticism, leading Cam (Tamara Taylor) to question her decision to give him a chance to start anew. Meanwhile, Booth is caught off-guard by an announcement Brennan makes about their baby. To diffuse the tension between them, the couple agrees to experiment with putting themselves in each other’s shoes.
