    I’ll stick my head out and make a bold prediction. Joey and Tim 1 and 2.

    IMHO, never before has the cumulative talent of three lady participants in any CE event been as great as that of these three. What a field!

    The 7:33 comment is mine. I didn’t notice that I wasn’t logged in.

    I agree with 9:50. Bob and Sonya are about equal in this, both of whom should be about 5-1 (or have equal odds); but Tim should be favored over both of them. I expect Miki to be pretty much right there with Bob and Sonya.

    This is easy first place mnoney for Joey, though he might “appear” to make it close, just to make the event more news-worthy. The man’s not coming all the way to West Virginia for second place money.

    I believe that Seiken is in the contest also.You people write him off as though he is the worst eater on the entire planet based upon a bad outing at Nathans. Here is a man that won two pickle titles , finished 3rd 5 times in his career and received nothing in return. I think its unfair to judge him based upon his age and the top 15 eaters he has had to face in every single contest throughout the years. I heard that by Labor Day he will launch a new and improved BB and when he puts up the numbers, the haters on this blog will stop shitting on him

    Who is 11:23 am? Who is saying that Seiken received “nothing in return”? If Seiken is in the contest, why is he not on the list?

    Brian, the pickle titles were against how many people? I know one of them was just against Krazy Kevin. MLE keeps that pickle title separate as a gift. If they did vinegar pickles today, that title would disappear. In fact, if the government hadn’t killed the Golden Palace contests, your pickle title would have disappeared on October 16, 2006 in Raleigh, NC.

    You’re not the only one with historical information.

    And everyone else faces the top 15 eaters at every single contest as well.

    Also, before you respond with the normal profanity laden response telling me to go f*ck myself, I’m not hating, just telling it like it is. Isn’t that what your “schtick” is?

    I would love to see Seiken take on any one or both of the Goldsteins in pickles. The G-steins would wipe the floors up with him. Maybe the active Goldstein can convince his retired cousin to do it. Every one is still waiting for the deli challenge.

    BS is not even listed as a competitor but let me help the oddsmaker: Infinite – 1

    Finished 3rd place 5 times? BS TO BS! 4 of those 3rd place finishes were with only 3 MLE eaters present. In Boston it was only Pete Davekos and a bunch of stiffs and you still came in 3rd. WOW.
    Your 2004 Carnegie contest place is fabricated. Chowhound listed you as 6th place but you had a crying fit and pumped up your amount. Can’t wait to see this new BB. Same person, same crappy results and I will laugh my ass off.

    Seiken will be there to cover Miki Sudo finishing in front of TBW so he can rejoice about the latter’s demise. Then when she dominates in oysters the following weekend, he will act that event never happened. That is his “schtick”? That is what he calls it.

    Do you think BB hates Gavonne so much because he was stalking the women of CE first? Both of them are creeps.

    Seiken has done better than I thought and maybe he should be ranked a half dozen spots higher.

    I did not register for pepp rolls. Have no interest in going up against shitstein cousins in pickles. Two bullies with grade school like mentality that feed off each other because hardly anyone in this world will align themselves with either. Thanks for the accurate account OJ . As Casey says look it up!. For the record. ……I dont discriminate with Miki and Sonya . Both great talents

    Even though bb has these records they were all in the past when talent of ce eaters are no where close to the talent of ce eaters today. BB has never even broken 20 hdbs. This is my shtick. So yea he holds a record in pickles but that was in the past. To make Nathan’s you have to at least be able to eat 25 hdb most eaters are hitting 30+ to get in! Sorry BB but its time to retire!

    This is a classic commercial but it needs to be revised with Miki replacing Kobe

    We probably won’t be able to report on this for a few days but here’s a kinda preview article based on exclusive quotes with Yasir Salem, who will no longer use the Doggy Bag eating name.

    Good luck to all taking part today.

    Yeah but for now Sonya vs Miki Mastercard makes more sense as a preview for womans finals. If Sonya loses then revise the commercial with Joey for next year

    To do a CE promotion involving two people, one or both need to be male. No one really associates sports with women. Everyone knows who the top golfer in the world is. Who is the top female golfer? That is my point.

    Why dig up an old commercial or if you do, let it be. There are no retakes on any commercial. Past is past. Done and over. Everyone, orgs and indies have to create new opportunities. 2:40 has a point. Hard sell on womens sports. WNBA etc. Inbee Park is not a place in South Korea.
