I just get some jabs in now and then because I want to see it succeed and become better. (Seriously, no sarcasm this time.) Nah, I don’t have a pork OR a beef with the IFOCEMLE.

To those of you that feel a need to respond back to anonymous posters and not the real names, then it just proves that you have very little going on in your life Badlands shows alot of class by not responding to negative idiots that refuse to leave real names.

Unlike wrestling, however, there are no plots/planned scripts. Whatever happens happens. Haphazard counting and incorrect totals are natural harbingers for controversy and dissension among participants, which can make for great storylines among MLE's ever-growing and ever-changing cast of characters. Instead of trying to make CE an Olympic event----a most unrealistic quest, perhaps MLE should focus on the strength of their current brand of entertainment.

The IFOCEMLE will likely move in that direction, but it'll take them a good 12 to 18 months to figure out how to do it. It's a pretty complicated process....all that writing and those numbers. And then they have to figure out a way to print numbers on paper and attach them to the eaters (scotch tape? safety pins? staples?). I mean, they're still working on a system for recording contest results on something other than a paper plate. BikeryJeff — Good idea with the plastic plates and numbering them to avoid mix-ups.

How the F*** do you know Philbin even ate 32? Hearing what really happened, he definitely got an extra plate. Booker won with a low 30 number, but Philbin wasn't cheated out of anything...he still would have lost. Booker 30 Philbin 27 Nate 25 This is absolutely TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hold up!

If this sport was pro wrestling, The Hangman would be in the top ten. Or at least a judge, standing side by side with Brian Seiken, at Coney Island this 4th of July. I do agree with Anonymous comments on June 24, 2009 @ 3:25 pm. I do recall Broadway at the Beach in 2008 when Badlands got screwed by a false count from Juliet Lee. If it was fair then, it must still be fair now. The video from Myrtle Beach shows Juliet winning by cheating. This video shows Badlands HDB count must have been on Viagra because it sure shot up. I always wondered what performance drugs might be in those cups. Wonder who will have "blue water" at Coney? Sorry to disagree with bikeryjeff’s comment on June 24, 2009 @ 6:57 pm.

I mean they had little kids counting plates. If the Shea Bros.want this to become a serious sport they need to get decent officals, change the plates to a hard plastic and maybe even initial them. Let's face it Pat from Moonachie got ripped off (no offense to Booker). I believe this conspiracy goes back a few years when O&A called out the Shea bros for suspending Pat for being on the Opie & Anthony Show. I mean he was ranked in the top 20 and passed up to go to the Spike TV eat off for no apparent reason. I mean Crazy Legs was not even ranked and he made the trip. This sport might as well be pro wrestling. I have to agree after checking out the video Booker did no where near 40. I mean they had little kids counting plates.
