    I don’t blame the TV people for telling you what they did..there’s a lot of money, time, and effort in all these productions. Sounds like you just had to wait until afterwords to get some pictures. The cameraman may have been a little blunt with his comments, but they gotta make sure all goes well.

    As far as Adam getting focused, who doesn’t act different just before they sit down at their desk at work, or walk into a sales call? No personal offense was meant, I’m sure, just realize TV is there to do their job, not help you take random photos which could possibly interfere with what they are trying to accomplish.
    Have you ever seen George or Rich before an eating contest? Basically unapproachable – even for their “stars”. They got a job to do, just like the “Man VS Food” folks.

    I have noticed that all the media attention is going to juliet lee eater x and crazy legs crotni what about spearding the weatlth to pioneers of the sports such as don moses lurman, butuiful braiin and ed crookie jervis . You dont see much of them on televison. Only the same faces day in and day out. Expect crazly legs mom or roda evens to chime in under an anonymous name to dispute that theory.

    Iggy Pops off, that is far from true. George IS usually unapproachable before a contest but Rich talks with the eaters while doing early pre-event commentating to the incoming crowd.

    Rich is “friendlier”, and that comment wasn’t meant as a dig at either one. I appreciate what they gotta do, and I try to let them do it.
    You can’t imagine how many crazy requests I see TV people get when they are trying to work. There’s always someone looking to break into the biz, star seekers, people handing them tapes, that’s why they have to “nip it in the bud” right away – it’s always better to approach them AFTER the job is filmed, completed, whatever.
