NAME: Drew Pandolfo
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 3, 2009

NAME: Ron Scher
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 4, 2009
FUN FACT: He ate them as Kham watched and cheered. I have never seen a nose run so much or so many tears shed for such a small thing... THE WING. You can see in the photo his tongue is still on fire. Thanks for the show Ron.
NAME: Josh Clugston
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 8, 2009
FUN FACT: Josh joined Bill for Bill's second time. Yes, he missed the first time... wuss or cunning plan? During the challenge he got advice from several people, his response being, Shut-up Kim! Yes, the Wing can make you a little irritable.
NAME: Rory
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 9, 2009
FUN FACT: Rory brought a friend and the "ghost" took another victim. Alas, only Rory made the Wall. Wings eaten and time expiring, Rory was quoted as saying, I am hurting. We've been there, wait 20 hours and the hurting will begin...
NAME: James
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 20, 2009
FUN FACT: James completed the challenge sitting next to his girlfriend. She said, We do this all the time. So another winner that loved the flavor and left with nose and eyes leaking in tears of joy.
NAME: Jeremy Klaner
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 25, 2009
FUN FACT: Pictured with a beer, love it. So the story continues with men and the sleeves of the shirts being cover in ghost sauce as well as the tears and snot said ghost sauce causes. This man is one of the kings.
NAME: Kham Haung
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 4, 2009
FUN FACT: Kham ate them so fast the heat didn't hit him until the 10th wing! His best friend was sitting with him and said he could beat him. Motovation? Congrats Kham, you need a new best friend!
NAME: John Pharr
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 7, 2009
FUN FACT: So being a friend of one of our true wing nuts, Geoffrey C. Franz, a former winner, John completed it without one hair was out of place. Also, John did have a runny nose. Seems to be the theme lately!
NAME: Matt Redman
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 8, 2009
FUN FACT: So Matt loves hot food, saw the poster, Challenge ordered. The rest of his party seemed more excited than Matt, but he finished and the Wing gods are happy adding him to the list of winners.
NAME: Tommy Allison
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 9, 2009
FUN FACT: Matt and co-conspirator Andrew thought speed was the way to go. Though, I bet the frequency of restroom visits was no different than others who did the challenge slower. See you at the King of the Wing Finals.
NAME: Andrew Hope
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 9, 2009
FUN FACT: Two minutes in, Andrew commented on how flavorful the wings were. I didn't believe he could do it, but he finished quickly and believes he can win speed title! We'll see. Can he compete with Dave and Geoffrey, the Kings of the challenge thus far?
NAME: Micheal Ameson
DATE ACCOMPLISHED: August 25, 2009
FUN FACT: Well, what can I say, I had money he could not do it, but here he is, pictured! Great albeit slightly worrisome quote, "Can I puke after this is over?"
