Krystal Competitive Eater Participates In Movie Watching World Championship
Crazy Legs Conti stretching before attempting to break the Guinness World Record of movie watching.
Krystal Square Off V competitive eater Crazy Legs Conti recently took a break from stuffing his face to attempt five days of ’round the clock movie watching.
Crazy Legs, along with several other endurance champions, have been competing to see who can sit through 121 hours of movies in order to break the current Guinness Movie Watching World Record of 120 hours and 23 minutes as a part of the Netflix Movie Watching World Championship.
The contest has been taking place in New York’s Time Square since October 2. The winner, which will be decided today as the marathon nears its 121st hour, will receive $10,000, a lifetime subscription to Netflix and the first ever Popcorn Bowl trophy.
The contestants have been allowed a 10 minute break every two hours (so in between each movie) to stretch, go to the bathroom, etc. However, while the movies are on, they must keep their eyes on the screen and are immediately disqualified if they fall asleep. Medical professionals have also been on hand to monitor the contestants’ conditions throughout the event and to determine if contestants are truly “watching” or are simply staring at the screen.
Unfortunately, according to Netflix’s Facebook page, it looks like Crazy Legs won’t be taking that Popcorn Bowl trophy home, as he only made it through 33 hours movie watching. You can watch an interview with Crazy Legs after dropping out of the contest here. According to the eating pro, Chevy Chase’s movie Fletch was the final movie of the contest for him.
