So we sauntered into hour 4 with a real feel-good moment: pitting Ehren against a group of loveable little kids in a spelling bee, guest-starring jackassworld’s own Rick Kosick as the mean-spirited bee. As we’d predicted, Ehren was not brighter than a box of rocks—not even a bag of hammers—and found himself in several shocking consequences as he fumbled his way through the English language into territories not even remotely near those settled by Oxford or Webster. Good job, Ehren. Better luck next year in 6th grade. Anyway, one studio over competitive eaters bellied up against those of Phil, Preston and Kosick to gobble Nathan’s weenies like there was no tomorrow (or in Kosick’s case, like he was having an afternoon treat with his tea; seriously, no effort whatsoever on his part, pretty disappointing). Bam force-fed Phil all the way to the fat fucking finish line, but no such luck, the contest went to some random competitive eater.
