    Just another great episode with great plot and great directing. This episode features two murder, one involved the death of a man who seems to have a eating disorder, and another one involved the death of a couple found in their house, which seems to point to the couple's dog. The eating-disorder case is a little bit boring, but Nick's case with the dead couple is totally interesting and amazing. The writers has certainly done a very good job to this episode. And this is why CSI has successfully produces eight seasons and still one of the most-watched drama in this time.moreless

  • A guy with Prader-Willi (sp?) Syndrome eats himself to death, and a couple going through a messy divorce end up dead. Very appropriate episode name.

    Jerry Gable, who was born with a flawed hypothalamus, which means he never feels full and is always excruciatingly hungry, ends up dead in a dumpster. We find out later that Jerry's sister's boyfriend (his "babysitter") let him out of his restraining chair and as a result Jerry stuffed himself at the Circus Town buffet. The B case is the deaths of a couple who were about to get divorced. It appears that the wife, Lori, shot the husband, then their dog Kahlua went crazy and ripped her throat out. However, when Nick compares bite impressions, we find out that a dog did kill Lori, but it wasn't Kahlua. Then we are told that Lori and her husband Michael were fighting over Kahlua, and Kahlua chose Lori in a face-off. So Michael decided to swap dogs, but Kahlua's doppelganger went crazy at the sound of gunshot, and so ripped Lori's throat out. This episode had lots of wonderfully gory details, like the guy's stomach contents and Lori's ripped-out throat. We find out that Hodges hates hotdogs, and hotdog-eating is considered a sport by some.moreless

    I actually really enjoyed this episode. For many reasons. The first case, the one where the guy ate himself to death, was very interesting. That would be kinda scary to have that condition. Many funny parts to this case, like for example: 1) Hodges going threw the stomach contents and talking with Catherine and Grissom about it. I found that conversation funny. 2) The scene with Greg and Grissom talking about Hot Dogs, that was interesting. And they played a great song in the scene too! 3) Catherine and Brass going to the National Hot Dog Eating Competition thingy and there reactions when that guy threw up, that was priceless. Case number 2: The Messy Divorce. This was a good case too. Nick and Sara work great together! They have amazing chemistry. Their case was fun to watch...funny moments and lots of science involved too.

    So I loved this episode! Hope to see more of it!moreless

    • While Hodges is sorting out the stomach contents he labels all the containers with the different types of food: one says "mac & cheese" another "bacon"; etc. And on the last container, the one with the newspaper ad for the buffet (which the victim had swallowed), there's a label that says "WEIRD". Edit
    • During this episode, when they "fade to black" for the commercial breaks, the first time you hear a chomping sound and the second time a dog barking. Edit
    • Goof: The 'Aunt Jackpot's Pretzels' napkin has the logo superimposed on a blank napkin. The logo seamlessly covers the bottom part of the stack of napkins, where several napkin layers overlap. The logo is also very bright and reflective. Edit

    • Brass: Hey. Grissom: I was happy to hear the review board cleared you. Brass: Well, it's been a rough time, but I'm dealing with it. Edit
    • Greg: I went shopping and bought every brand of hotdog they sell in Las Vegas. Grissom: Who's paying for it? Greg: You mean the lab's not gonna reimburse me? Grissom: No. Greg: Well I couldn't identify the chatter teeth logo so I figured I could physically match one of these to the one found in the victims stomach. You know, maybe comparing that twisty thing at the end. Grissom: Sounds like a good idea, Greg. I'm still not paying for it. Greg: Fine, I guess I'll just eat hotdogs for the rest of the year. Grissom: A hotdog at the ballpark tastes better than steak at the Ritz. Greg: Well, I can tell when you're quoting something. (he sits) Who said it? Grissom: Humphrey Bogart. Did you know that the term "hotdog" was actually coined at a baseball game? (Greg shakes his head) New York polo grounds some where around 1867. A German butcher was selling something that he called "Dachshund Sausages" out of his pie wagon. He put 'em on a roll so that his customers wouldn't burn their fingers. He'd yell out "get your Dachshund Sausages, they're red hot." (Greg looks like he wants to get up and leave) Soon all the vendors at the polo grounds were sellin' 'em too. But they were too lazy to say "Dachshund Sausages." So they just called 'em "hotdogs." Greg: Yeah, and now there's over 50 major brands. Grissom: Good luck. I'm rooting for you. Greg: Well, hopefully I find a weiner. Edit
    • Sara: Beat-up car in a Lexus neighborhood. Sofia: We ran the plates. RO doesn't live here. We're tracking her down. (Nick reads the bumper sticker as they walk past the car) Nick: "Bitch on wheels." Can't wait to meet her. Edit
