IFOCE MC and Eat This Book author Ryan Nerz did an interview for Salon.com Nerz thinks the popularity of competitive eating is plateauing and calls the Wing Bowl “a version of hell on earth” which may not be his most controversial statement:
Why do so many people like watching people gorge themselves?
It’s this uniquely American spectacle that is half sport and half magic. People can’t wrap their heads around the idea of eating 69 hot dogs in 10 minutes, so it does have an element of magic. Though, if you want to be pessimistic about competitive eating, it’s also a kind of a freak show. It’s a little bit like watching a train wreck and you try to hide your eyes and peek through your fingers.
