Critical thinking
What in your opinion makes food eating contests like these so popular a) with contestants b) With viewers.
I think the reason these contest are so popular because it is a hard contest to beat someone in because you have to learn how to expand your stomach size so you could fit more food. In my opinion I think that the contestants are what draws the crowd and why it is so popular, because it is funny to see peoples reaction when they lose or when they win.
