Cockroach eating contest at Six Flags

Photos of the cockroach eating contest at Six Flags over Georgia on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011. Winners got free passes to the amusement park.

Six Flags Over Georgia offered free 2012 season passes to anyone who successfully ate a Madagascar hissing cockroach in their contest on Saturday. For the sqeamish, we'll warn you when the photos get tougher to swallow.

Contestants were allowed to eat the insects with some bread.

Warning: The photos get more graphic after this one. Here, cockroach eating contest official Steven Summers (right) prepares a Madagascar hissing cockroach hot dog for Andrianna Haynes.

If that isn't enough for you, here's a string of photos in chronological order of Michelle Davis' attempt to eat a cockroach.

Here's the reaction.

Now the realization has hit Davis. She's eating a Madagascar hissing cockroach.

Here's the pause between first and second bites. Is that fear in her eyes?

No worries. She's game for the second big bite.

This doesn't look too good.

Davis is determined.

Wow, she did it. Davis shows her tongue after eating her Madagascar hissing cockroach.
