    I don’t blame Pat.

    First, no competitive eater is ever going to make it into the final round, going against others with more traditional, more widely accepted talent like singing or dancing.

    Second, the top competitive eaters in the world have already proven themselves, at, at least in CE circles. “America’s Got Talent” is for those with something to prove in other forms of entertainment.

    Third, TIAB represents Pat’s future. It puts money in his pocket and food on his table, long-term. AGT is just a quick shout out that only provides a cheap thrill and a quick laugh.

    Pat should just focus on his business and quit the eating game like jamie

    Pat IS focussing on his business. I do not think it hurt him but rather gave more publicity to the restaurant by being on the program. It’s another PR opportunity, nothing harmful.
