Can anybody recall some of the disgusting stunts on 'The Word' years ago?

They were performed by people desperate to get on TV

I know there are plenty of old people that frequent the RTV section, so they should remember...

I have heard about a guy that drank the sweat out of a sponge that had been wiped over several fat people. Also another guy licked an old man's false teeth after he'd eaten a sandwich.

Terry Christian presented it.

Update:

Tut tut....ms Afro you'll never get that orange badge with those monosyllabic answers.

Update 2:

....makes BB9 bogeygate & peanutbuttergate seem quite lame...pmrofl

Update 3:

Afro sweetie....yes I do think it bothers you and you're probably justified. But then again you do seem to give a lot of yes & no answers....you can hardly expect to get many B/As. I'm not bedgrudging you the 2pts. You're welcome to them....

    Yup there was a section called something like "I'd do anything to be on TV", and "contestants had to do a vast range of pretty disgusting things in order to get their 5 seconds of fame.

    One guy licked the hairy armpit of a morbidly obese woman who had been cycling on an exercise bike. I remember that one clearly. The others I can't really recall.

    EDIT: here, enjoy

    One that sticks out in my mind is thus:

    The bin from the local chirpodist complete with toenail clippings, corns and other foot related waste was poured into a cereal bowl.

    Milk was poured into the bowl this guy ate it complete with all bits of toenails and other gross feet illnesses etc going around his mouth and him saying, "I'll do anything to get on t.v."

    I'm 32 years old and I remember that so well *Shudders with horror*

    No

    Edit: Do you REALLY think I sit at my computer and worry about a Cyber-space orange badge?

    LMAO

    TDs don't bother me either...especially when "NO" is a perfectly good answer to your question.

    Edit:...I've had more B/A than you have had hot dinners SWEETIE

    It's just that I don't much care for a B/A from you...hence the 2 letter answer.....lmao
