It is alluded to, later, that George won, but then it becomes known that he cheated to win the contest. We don’t find out the winner during the episode, but Jerry’s girlfriend is horrified when she finds out about the contest, and ends up dating JFK Jr. Elaine ends up the second character out, much to everybody’s surprise. Throughout the episode, we see everybody in bed-those still in the contest tossing and turning, and the others sleeping soundly. Also, he’s George-a man with little to no self-restraint anyway. George’s mom is in the hospital next to a beautiful woman getting sponge baths from a beautiful nurse. Kennedy Jr., AKA John-John, which builds up her anxiety. Elaine has the chance to get romantically involved with John F. Jerry’s also dating a virgin, played by Jane Leeves (who went on to play Daphne on Frasier), so he’s still sexually frustrated. There’s a beautiful nude woman in an apartment across the street from Jerry, which leads to Kramer being knocked out of the contest very quickly, in the episode’s biggest laugh moment.

Naturally, a series of logistical issues begin to unveil themselves for our main quartet. Jerry, George, and Kramer put in 100 bucks in a competition to see who can go the longest without engaging in a bit of self-gratification, and Elaine chips in $150 to get in, given the presumption among the contestants not masturbating will be easier for her. Jerry is dubious, and thus the titular contest begins. As such, George vows to never masturbate again. George’s mother stumbles upon him masturbating in her house, and, in her shock, winds up in the hospital. So, here in 2016, over 20 years later, where does “The Contest” fit into our modern world?įor those who do not recall, and given how often Seinfeld airs in syndication this may be an exercise in futility, here’s a brief synopsis of the plot. That can’t help but date “The Contest” to some degree. Way back then, they had to talk around the subject on a network show.
It pushed the envelope, even though it never mentioned the topic at hand. For the time that it aired, it was an incredibly edgy half-hour of television. It’s considered, by many, if not most, to be one of the greatest Seinfeld episodes of all time.
