I Think I'm Gonna Blog "Hurl!"

Hurl!

Not disgusted enough by the gastronomical excesses of competitive eating contests? Then see if you’ve got the stomach to handle G4’s new reality competition series Hurl!

This half-hour series, premiering July 15 at 9pm ET, has all the gluttony of your standard speed-eating contest, but adds a twist. Following their fill-up with food, the engorged contestants have to do a challenge designed to test the very limits of the human esophagus — carnival rides, bungee jumping, high diving, mechanical bull-riding or anything else that will get them green about the gills. The last one to lose his or her lunch wins cash, the Iron Stomach Award and serious bragging rights. (Dignity, however, can never be won back.)

Oh, it’s even worse than you imagine. Each episode includes multiple stages. In the first round, contestants consume mass quantities of an all-American favorite — hot dogs, clam chowder, chicken pot pies, etc. Those who eat the most and keep it down move on to the nausea-inducing physical challenge. Contestants who don’t spew during this challenge get a second course of food, this time featuring a surprising new menu item! Those “fortunate” enough to advance to the final stage have yet another physical challenge — with a twist — awaiting them.

This show begs for blogging, and we’re going to have all your Hurl! highlights right here. So come back after July 15 and we’ll party till we puke.

Hurl!

  1. Unfortunately for the live studio audience, Gallagher had to cancel last minute. In his place, a taping of “Hurl!”

    The first four rows expected to be hit by watermellon.

    Just not after it had already been ingested by guys who look like Jared in the “Before” photos.
