I like the idea of the heat (spicy) eating competition but that stuff can be dangerous. One time while having lunch with co workers someone dared me to eat some habaneros raw so the mexican restaruarant we were at brought out some ground up habaneros. Everyone chipped in some money and I made about 40 bucks from it.
It wasn't hot to me but I couldn't breath. I just played it off and tried to focus and eventually breathing became easier.
The morale of the story is if you're going to do this competition it should be done probably by a restaurant that serves hot shit. Eating raw peppers could get someone hurt plus its not really fair as each pepper is have varying heating.
