Most of them go puke it all up afterwards. Seirously.

One thing I learned watching this event. Vomiting in hot dog eating
contest parlance is "reversal of fortune" and results in an automatic
disqualification.
At my university, we have a similar competition annually. Only
differences are:
1) We don't stick to hot dogs.
2) Not only is it perfectly acceptable to vomit, it is in fact
encouraged.
I don't think that people who enjoy watching hot dog eating
competitions are particularly sick.

Eating is more fun than cards. Sometimes, you can combine them.
Of course, you could always eat the cards.
