Joey Chestnut Discusses His Experience On “The Amazing Race”


January 2, 2018 at 10:05 am


--- Quote ---DS: You are teamed up with fellow competitive eater Tim Janus. How did you guys become friends?

JC: We were competitors and initially, we weren’t friends. We actually hated each other, we hated each other for a long time. He’s a great competitor and I respect him. That’s probably how we became friends. He pushed his body really hard and it impressed me. It’s more of a relationship based on respect than friendship.

DS: What were some of the craziest experiences involved with filming this season of “The Amazing Race”?

JC: Oh my god, there’s going to be some dancing. There were so many crazy things. There was a lot of running, too much running.

Platrium:
They were a fine team. I could remember them more for their mistakes than their achievements, unfortunately. That, and Joey not being physically fit. The race sure was tough! Oh, but they were competitive at least.


--- Quote ---Joey Chestnut: I applied a long time ago and then they reached out to me several times, and this time, it was in October, I was able to clear my schedule.

Interesting how timing is a factor for some applicants to be cast.


--- Quote ---You and Tim used to be competitors that then became friends. How did you guys end up partners?
I sought him out. I applied years ago, and they reached out me again recently. I had a free schedule during filming, so I thought, “Oh my God, I need a partner.” Tim was my first choice, because I know he’s a super competitor; he hates to lose. He’s crazy smart. And he’s in better shape than me, so he was going to push me hard.

Great choice!

--- Quote ---You talked in the very beginning about why you wanted to pick Tim as a teammate. Did you learn anything about him as a partner and a person working with him so closely on the race?
He’s a thoughtful person. He sees things when he interacts with people and has a ton of empathy. He can tell when somebody’s giving him bad directions or doesn’t understand him. He reads people very well, and he reads me well. He can tell if I’m confident, if I’m lazy, or if I have more in the tank. He reads people really well, and he was a great partner.

They made so many bad decisions, but Joey picking Tim was the least bad decision imho.

Maanca:
Joey just won his 11th Nathan's title with a world record 74 hot dogs.
