to enter.
The tense wait for the 30 minute cooking
time.
Ok... Here are the rules... ready..?
All eyes on Jay.. (Including a live webcam)
Try one piece, and if you are happy how it
is cooked, BEGIN!.
30 or so cameras flashing away... It's
quite frankly sick..
My meal... a nice easy 24 ouncer... hmmm...
Chocolate cake anyone?
George being cruel... "Eat... Eat... Eat.."
2mins 27 seconds to go. You can do
it.

A rather large piece left.
26.2 ounces left... Well done Jay.

beat him by 5 Ounces from last year.

"What's for dessert...." you gotta be
kidding.

fatter....
