- (FBE) Go.
- What the heck? You have a spoon. - I went in
and I looked over and you were done. ♪ (upbeat intro) ♪ - Hi, my name is Mary Bowers.
I'm a world ranked competitive eater
and I am here go undercover to challenge some
unsuspecting eaters to a little bit of an
eating contest. I am wearing cupcake couture.
My very first contest, I went in, I was the only
female in the entire field and so it was enough
to get the attention of Major League Eating
and six months later, it was a career. - (FBE) So, with the international
Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Competition just around the corner,
we decided to test you on your competitive eating skills.
- Oh man. - Ooh.
- Do you like to eat? - I love to eat,
but I don't know about this. - It depends what food.
If we're chucking down some hot dogs,
I might throw up. - (FBE) First, we're gonna
show you a video of a food being eaten
super fast by a professional eater.
- My gosh. - (FBE) Then we're gonna
bring out that food and when I say go,
you're gonna try and finish it as quickly as you can.
- I'm up for it if you are. - I am. - This has been a dream
of mine since I was probably seven, so to actually do this now,
it's kinda scary. - I feel like we can do it.
- Are we eating against each other?
- Yeah, is it a versus type thing? Okay, let's go.
I went up against Matt Stonie last year,
so I'm really excited to do this. He gave me a few pointers,
but I don't think it's gonna help at all. - (FBE) Now, are you guys
ready to see if you have what it takes to be
a professional eater? - Let's do it.
- Let's do this. - I'm excited. - (FBE) This first clip
is from professional eater YouTuber, Matt Stonie.
- Hey, I know it's my boy. - (FBE) Here, Stonie is
attempting a 125 cupcake challenge.
Are you ready? - Yes. - Oh man.
- Five seconds. - What?
He just put-- - How big are those cupcakes?
- I know. - That's how I am
on the weekends. I love cupcakes. - Did he decorate
all those himself? - If he did, I'm gonna be
very upset. - Seven cupcakes.
No, ten cupcakes in less than--
that was 20 seconds. - He just pops them
like little M&M's. - (FBE) Here are some cupcakes
for you to try. - I love cupcakes.
- Yay. - (FBE) Now, we're not
gonna make you eat 125 cupcakes, but you will
have to eat this cupcake as quickly as you can.
Whoever finishes their cupcake first wins.
- I have a big mouth, so I feel like I could
fit it in one bite. - (FBE) All right, let's see
how you do in three, two, one, go. - Oh God.
Oh. Wait, what? - (FBE) Go. - I think I have--
yep. - (FBE) Go. Go. Mary had a little
edge on you there. - A little bit.
- (FBE) She was a little faster. - Oh my God.
Oh, jeez. - (FBE) That was impressive,
you guys. Mary, what the hell?
That was very fast. - Nice to meet you.
I'm Dionte. - I would shake your hand,
but it's covered in frosting.
You wanna shake my hand? - I'm just--
I kinda got distracted by how good the frosting was
if I'm being completely and totally honest.
I was like, wow. - I think it's buttercream.
- It was so good. - Really good.
- So good. - It's the chewing.
- Oh, you chewed yours? - Yeah.
- Oh no, I didn't chew mine. No, I didn't--
no. - I did three large pieces.
- That went down whole. - (FBE) You had a method there.
You dipped it into your liquid.
- Yeah, there was a procedure, so I was dipping the cupcake
in the iced tea because I feel like it
helped to slide it down faster. - That was so badass.
- Thanks. - I went in and I looked over
and you were done. - (FBE) So this next clip
we've got is from the Nathan's Hot Dog
Eating Contest. - Oh.
- (FBE) You knew that was coming. - Oh yeah, hot dog. - (FBE) This features professional
eater Joey Chestnut, who currently holds
the world record for most hot dogs eaten in ten minutes
with a whopping 74 wieners. - That's a lot of wieners. - (announcer) Joey Chestnut.
- Oh my gosh. He's in pain doing this.
- I don't know. Is that pain or is that
just concentration? It might be focus.
- Yeah. - I feel like he's just like...
and then it's gone. - He's just shredding them. - He's like when you eat
carrots and you just... as a kid, I used to do that.
- Oh yeah, I had a hamster who did that.
- Cute. - I have to mentally
prepare myself for this. This is a lot. - It looked like SpongeBob
where Patrick just... and inhales all the
krabby patties. - Yeah, it does. - (FBE) Here we have
two hot dogs. - Hamburgers.
- Is it a sandwich? - No, don't even start
this debate right now. - (FBE) This is a Nathan's
famous hot dog exactly like the ones
served in the video. Do you have a strategy
going in or are you just gonna go for this?
- I feel like focus is the key. - See, I feel like I always
see them dip it in [bleep] on every competition
and that just grosses me out. I don't think I could make it
if I dip it. - I took a major L first round,
but I'm confident in myself, so that should help me
by two seconds. - I'm confident in you, too.
- Thank you. - You're welcome. - (FBE) Three, two, one.
Go. - [inaudible] - No way. - Ew.
This is gross. - (FBE) Okay, Mary.
- I think it's a tie. - You have half a hot dog
and a full bun. - I think it's a tie. - (FBE) That looks like Mary
once again. - That was like
a magician trick. It was there one second
and then it wasn't the next. - I didn't even see that,
but did you-- you got the wiener first.
- Yeah. - You got the dog.
- Yeah. - And then you did the bun.
- Yeah, I feel like sometimes you have to divide and conquer.
- I have a feeling that you've done this before.
- (FBE) Jordan, that is correct. Mary is actually Mary Bowers,
a professional eater. - Yeah, I knew it.
I knew it. I knew there was something off. - I could tell after the cupcake.
I was like, something's up. No one dumps a cupcake
in iced tea, right? She went, smash, bam.
I was like, "What the [bleep]?" - (FBE) She's a world ranked
competitive eater. She's known for dressing up
like the foods she eats. - I know who you are.
- (FBE) Just like Matt Stonie-- - I know who she is.
The second you said her last name, I'm like,
holy [bleep]. - (FBE) She's known not only
for her incredible food consumption skills
but also for the stunning costumes she creates herself.
- I love that so much. I love that you just add
your own pizzazz to your talent. Your costume's on deck. - (FBE) We got one more
food for you guys to try, but first, our foodie
fashionista is off to show you one of her
incredible costumes. - No way.
You're gonna show me? Okay, I'm ready. - (FBE) We are gonna bring her
out in her beautiful new ensemble.
Let's see what she looks like. - I'm ready.
- Ta-da. - Oh my God, you're like
a cupcake Swan Lake. Oh my God.
- A Disney princess. - You are a Disney princess,
but better. - Oh my God,
you're ice cream. It is so cute. - The shoes, the shoes. - That's so awesome.
So you made everything yourself? - I did.
- That's insane. - I want one.
I want one. - You wanna wear it?
- Can I? - You can wear it. - Oh my God.
- It looks so pretty. - (FBE) You're in the perfect
costume, 'cause now that you're dressed as ice cream...
- Uh oh. - (FBE) What do you think
the final food's gonna be, you guys? - Ice cream. - (FBE) Here is a bowl
of vanilla ice cream with strawberry syrup.
- Strawberry. - (FBE) Mary, can you please
give us some professional eating tips?
- Okay, so you see the ice cream, right?
- Yes. - Do you feel the ice cream?
- I do. - Fear, admiration, a lot of things.
- Channel it all into this bowl of ice cream.
- Okay. - Yeah, eat from the heart,
my friend. If you do start getting
ice cream headache, put your tongue on
the roof of your mouth. - I've heard that one.
- It helps a lot. - I think I'm ready for this.
I feel like I'm gonna be best at this one
rather than the hot dog. - Okay.
- (FBE) Remember, this is still a food competition.
Jordan might surprise you now that you got
all those tips. Let's see what goes on.
Are you ready? - Ready.
- (FBE) To start eating? - Yes.
- (FBE) In three, two, one. Go. - She's going with her hands.
- It's so cold. - (FBE) Okay, how was that?
- My hands are freezing. - (FBE) Two, one, go. - I was so close. - (FBE) Go.
- What the heck? Dude, you have a spoon.
You didn't even use the spoon. You don't even use it.
I'm out of this. This is some BS.
Now I'm just enjoying this. - (FBE) Go. - Did I win?
- What? There's some.
- I won. - (FBE) Oh my gosh, Jordan.
You literally beat the champ. - I did.
- Awesome. - I feel so proud.
- I feel like I might go home and cry and then
comfort myself with a bowl of ice cream.
- Well the only reason I won was because you taught me.
- Aw. - So be happy. - (FBE) What do you think, Mary?
Does Tom have what it takes to be a professional eater?
- Maybe in terms of style. I gotta give it to you
on style. - Okay, I'll take it.
I'll take style points. - You know, I feel like
I'm gonna leave it to the professionals on this one,
but it was a good time. - I'm so sticky everywhere. - You did amazing
and you look amazing. - Thank you. - I'm not worthy.
I'm not worthy. Honestly, I just admire
what you do. People just look at it
as just, "Oh, it's just people eating food really fast"
but there's a skill and the beauty to it
and you make it look so effortless and just intriguing.
Thank you for that. - Thank you.
Thank you for eating with me today. - Thank you for letting me
eat with you. Peak on my list right now. - Thanks for watching us compete
against a professional eater on the React Channel. - What food could we eat
fast next? Let us know in the comments. - Bye. - Thanks for watching me
trick a whole bunch of reactors here today.
Don't forget to follow me on social media @EatBeMary
and remember to tune in for the Nathan's famous
hot dog eating championship on the fourth of July.
