The TV Zone

Just when I think I've seen it all, I realize: I haven't seen it all. There's much more to see (Spencer & Heidi, in "Hitched," for example.) Much, much more.

On July 15, G4 - the Comcast entertainment web that's basically designed for the mentally depleted who can't tear themselves away from their vidgames - will debut "Hurl!"

The line: "Brave contestants consume massive portions of all-American favorites and are then strapped into nausea-inducing contraptions designed to shake them up. The contestant to hold his or her food down the longest claims victory and walks away with a cash prize and, most importantly, serious bragging rights. Challenge winners with the best time who complete all rounds without hurling at any point, earn the highly coveted and elusive 'Iron Stomach Award.'”

"The competition consists of multiple rounds beginning with a speed-eating contest that features popular foods ranging from chicken pot pies to New England chowder, tuna casserole, hot dogs, blueberry pie and more. In the second round, contenders that ate the most in Round One move on to a physical challenge designed to cause even the strongest stomachs to rebel, including carnival rides, mechanical bull-riding and Sumo wrestling."

"In the final round, contestants must sit through the season premiere of 'Hitched,' starring Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag..."

[I'm just kidding. This last one isn't really part of the competition. But it should be.]

One of the comps is called "Balls of Hurl,” whereby "contestants eat as much Mac & Cheese as they can, then strap into steel-caged Human Bowling Balls and careen down LA's famous 2nd Street Tunnel. Pumpkin pie awaits those who don't blow chunks in the balls… and then it's on to another spin."

Don't you just love TV?
