    They bump up who they want to bump up and its not based on eating talent

    always refreshing to see people who deserve to be ranked are ranked, and people who wish they had a ranking not ranked

  10. What a joke. said

    Seems silly Moose is still at 50th. Rene should’ve gotten a spot, as she went to Coney & was rookie of the year.

    Also, the ranking system is a joke. Some eaters should be higher.

    Why would Seiken care if hes ranked or not . Unlike you he has absolutely no interest in major league eating or any eating for that matter . It’s a slow grim death headed their way

    Goldstein 23 rank was a pity rank and certainly not based on his eating ability which was not only pathetic but horrendous

  13. anonymous said

    August 21, 2018 @ 1:38 pm

    The eaters who were dropped have no interest or could care less one way or another if they were dropped

    Carmen was paid off to leave it go…..Where is LAfever in the top 50?

    Hendry should be ranked higher. He and Denmark should trade positions. Most of the other top 30 rankings are well thought out and accurate. The top 30 or so are relevant; the rest just rewarded for participation. Nela should be out as should others who haven’t been in any contests in the past year.

    2:38: Why was Carmen paid off? Did MLE not want hin?

    What does it matter where hendry is ranked? Top.4 or 5 ranked eaters that earn dollars from this nonsense . Everyone else makes shit and show up for the free meal

    I think Goldstein was ranked 12 or 13 at one time, boy was I jealous of that and especially for never making Nathan’s except in my dreams. If I could only get a rank of 51, I could truly say I lived.

    If Seiken went up against the competition Goldstein was up against he would have made the Nathans finals Oh and talk about being jealous when Seiken ate 8 lbs of watermelon in Ohio for 3rd place Goldstein not only didnt congratulate Seiken for his efforts but was jealous as hell when he found out George payed his hotel and travel expenses plus $200 spending money . What do you think of that baldie?

  20. Not Goldstein said

    August 22, 2018 @ 2:23 am

    You made Nathans with five fake trophies you never deserved because you went up against total crap and you are a pathetic shitty eater with serious mental issues . Seiken won a pickle title and beat the best . Who the hell did you beat besides Leon Feingold sister? As stated in the past whats the point of making the Nathans finals if you cant win the contest or at least finish in the money like you never did . In your case you were seated at the far end of the table for table enders and last place finishers

    Lets be crystal clear here. Seiken beat Cookie in A. his 1st pickle contest. Its kinda a technique food. B. There were tons of weighing issues with this contest thru the following years. If there were issues AFTER, how could there have not been issues then? C. I didn’t go, cuz it wasn’t worth it. 🙂

    I thought I would have moved on by now but it seems I’m stuck in 2003 clinging to my roach egg covered pickle trophy, the only meaningful thing in my life.. Sob, sob, sob…

    Love it when you guys bicker. It’s like when my brother and I used to argue about who was better, Mantle or Mays.

    Doesnt matter if seiken won by a hairline fracture he went up against the best and beat the best. Who did that wiig wearing midget beat to win his oscar meyer bologna contest ? Answer a homeless drifter they practically picked off the street

    What meaningful thing did you accomplish in your life goldshit besides purchasing a cheap wig with no hairline and fitting hearing aids for senior citizens

    You would think Goldstein would move on and maybe grow or at least wear high heels to look.taller but it appears that his life still revolves around eatfeats and seiken

    Hey 537pm, that’s toupee; not twopay! Wow!

    This is not seiken but i will personally go on record to confirm he does not wear a wig . His scalp was partially burmed in a fire which explains why he wears a hat
