Eat the clock?

OvereatingA competitive-eating reality show. Do we really need this? The Food Network thinks we do. In fact, they're casting "high-energy, dynamic and competitive two-member teams...who are 25-45 and have some connection, knowledge or experience in the food industry" right now. I guess the setting is Los Angeles, with the designated eaters chewing and swallowing at high-end eateries all over town in between traffic jams.

Doesn't seem particularly au courant. Grotesque, high-end overeating seems wrong on so many levels. Also doesn't seem like a show that will have any legs among the world's foodies.
