Best Amazing Race Eating Challenges
mswood:
I really dislike the eat until you have to vomit. The race really shouldn't be about making racers violently ill.
So removing any one of those challenges that caused vomiting, I would probably go with Season 4.
Coutzy:
I also hate the challenges that force people to eat ridiculous amounts of food.
Sure, throw some foreign delicacy at them, but forcing them to keep downing food until they hurl... not cool.
That being said, my favourite was actually the eating in Season 1. With the two team race for first, and the two team race for last it was a really good challenge.
Plus: "Now we're at hooters, now we're at hooters"
If only they had title quotes in season 1...

"It's Namibia, jackass!" ftw. :funny:
Top 3 for me personally, the China delicacies (both times :funny:), the Korea octopus & the Moroccan camel meat (special mention to the Polish sausage).

You did not mention the most gross part of the spicy soup incident. I recall Freddy vomiting back into his soup bowl and then having to eat it.

I did not mention it on purpose because it was too gross.

I say give me the best of both worlds. Make them eat local cuisine, but if it makes them vomit, so be it. It's usually not the quantity of food that makes them puke, but the food itself. If it can't be avoided, a little vomit makes good TV for me. Especially when Kendra is there saying "Iiii'mmm sssssooooo sssoooorrrrrryyyyyyy!" Awesome.
