Roll that one around your mouth. Yeah she does deserve an apology FYI the two darlings of competitive eating media were the first ones to run to George Shea in Knoxville to point out that Juliet had some extra debris and made it they business to talk him into having her disqualified.

I have seen that in past pizza contests . Let the judges decide and not you ok?

Otherwise I'd be really rich. Bodog doesnt let you put more than $50 on any one of the eating bets they have. Otherwise I’d be really rich.

I don't know what the raging "controversy" is about, other than what I've mentioned more times than I care to think here. It's all about slamming someone because you don't care for them or feel like you've got some issue, but mostly just because you can. I haven't said anything because I didn't know any more about what happened than 99% of the commenters on this thread until I saw the video, and I try to make a point of not talking about something I don't know anything about it. Obviously, it's much more fun to accuse Juliet than actually find out what happened. She's owed an apology but you'll never see one here. It's pretty clear to me that what happened was just what you said - she just couldn't swallow fast enough. I think that's pretty odd though, since I've seen other eaters struggle exactly the same way at the buzzer, including at Nathan's. In this case, it looks like it might have been a little of "a makeup call." You’re right, Erik – I saw exactly the same thing, which was nothing.

The folks that make these over-under lines must be going crazy regarding what the wining total might be. If it were me making the O/U line I would use 80 points.

It does not look like from the Knoxville video that Juliet did anything egregious. She stuffed 2 Krystals at the end and although her mouth was jam packed it was not hanging out. If there was a controversy, it must have happened after the stuff, from the writeup it sounds like she could not swallow what she stuffed in a timely manner. I would not call that cheating, just trying to do whatever it took to get in to the finals - it didn't work out for her but I can't blame her for trying to do what she had to get in - that is not cheating.
