Will Millender’s twitter has a link to a press release promoting the December 6 episodes of Humanly Impossible on the National Geographic Channel. The paragraph about competitive eaters follows:

Pete Czerwinski and Will Millender are speed eaters who can down more than 20 hamburgers in five minutes. These elite competitors are capable of eating up to three times the amount of food that someone with a normal stomach could handle. Using a real-time X-ray device, Humanly Impossible takes a look inside their bodies to uncover the secrets behind their gastrointestinal prowess.

Will Millender says he has another possible upcoming appearance on network TV.

At least one of Adam Richman’s challengers does not merit the description “hairy-chested mouthbreather” 😉 Jessicca Hart made the following announcement on the Man vs. Food facebook page:

“Oh Adam. Pretty soon you will be seeing Woman V Food on Youtube. And I will out eat you any day of the week. 6lb burrito is breakfast for me.”

In a QCTimes interview promoting his appearance in Iowa City today, Adam Richman has the following comments about fans who challenge him to eating contests:

“The show is ‘Man v. Food,’ not ‘Man v. Man,’ yet I get every hairy-chested mouthbreather popping off at the top of their neck. I don’t care if you can eat more than me,” he said. “All I’m trying to do is give you my best shot and know these challenges are out there. I get a lot of aggressive, loud dudes trying to challenge me.”
