    I figured Notorious B.o.b would finish ahead of Janus and Stonie.he has crazy capacity,. speed is whats stopping him from being in the top 3

    Someone that was in the contest last year who name i wont mention said the chilli is served cold and tastes like shit. They should start treating eaters like human beings and stop serving them food that tastes like stuff they feed to rats in the subways

    Sonya’s total wasn’t 1.5gal, but actually 0.875gal. The math wouldn’t add up to 1.5 if she ate 3.5 bowls

    Here’s our initial report: http://www.therakeandherald.tv/competitive-eating/jaws-spoons-through-brown-ceiling.html

    Will hopefully have a full update shortly. By the way, MLE has now corrected Notorious B.O.B.’s total to 7.75 bowls as opposed to the 7.45 bowls previously announced.

    When does their math add up?

    Sonya didn’t come anywhere near Matt, like these numbers suggest. He ate 7 bowls, she ate 3.5, or exactly HALF. 32 ounces x 3.5 bowls = 112 ounces, or 0.875 gallons, like 9:15 said. Why does she get credit for way more?

    It was chili. I’ll tell you what, why don’t you eat against Sonya in oysters to see how much she has slowed down.

    Sonya got credit for exactly what she ate. 3 Bowls. Actually she was smart. She was going to get 5TH place whether she ate 3 bowls or 6 bowls. Why torture her body with an extra gallon of that nasty shit!? Did anyone except Joey get enough money to fully pay their expenses? Maybe Bob.

    The 1.5 gallons for Sonya Thomas came from Ronnie Hartman’s results. I have deleted it.

    Why does Booker continue to compete? Hardy Lerman Jarvis knew when their time was up and did the smart thing by retiring. He is only doing more damage to his body competing in his 40’s

    what about those in their 50s that still want to be a part of competitive eating? Time to end it old folks.

    Chestnut shows up with that smug look on his face knowing that he got an appearance fee and prize money. Some of the others including Sonya have to pay their own way and get shit in return. Not worth it. When are some of you going to wisen up? Is this the only way you feel that people will notice you?

    234am honestly some of them do not have a life outside of competitive eating. They could care less how the food tastes or what it’s doing to their insides. There was a time when it was new exciting and fun. Those days are over . The ones that still cling to it are obviously not very bright

    Strange that OJ continues to allow all kinds of comments based upon Ronnie Hartmans results after deleting that number. What does this tell everyone? Buyer beware? Think this is very poor. We have a Rake and Herald and others to thank for excellent reporting, yet the threads are polluted nevertheless. My identity is known to OJ. Think he should fess up to something or other about comments and the intentions of this site.

    Its called freedom of speech. But its perfectly ok with you and a few others to shit on someone and call them all kinds of filthy names yet the victim is at a disadvantage because he isn’t able to pinpoint the culprit. People are entitled to their opinions and everything cant come up smelling like roses all the time

    Flight to Orlando to compete in this slobfest is over $300 not including cab car rental hotel . Some cabbies demand a tip

    They really need to form a senior league. After 40 or 50 your eating ability goes to shit. A senior league would reward those who still want to stick around.

    senior league is a fantastic idea Age 40 and up
    US Male
    Shredder
    Booker
    Jarvis
    Lerman
    Koch
    Sonya any more?

    Major league eating is for the young guns and some older eaters that can still put up numbers .Eaters such as . Miki Stonie (although its not his real name) Chestnut , Yasir , Aaron , Janus, Adrian , Michelle, Marcos, Juan Rodriguez. Dudlight. Those names are the future of the sport. The rest might be better off with a seniro league . What is the point ? They will never win money or trophies Structure of prizes in the senior league should be as follows
    1st place $100
    2nd place $50
    3rd place $25
    4th place road maps or Burger King & Mcdonalds coupons

    Your senior league is made up of people who are retired or rarely compete anymore. We can throw Super Paul, Wild Bill & Larell Mele into the mix too. Looks like we have something new in the works. Do we have a volunteer commissioner and MC?

  30. anonymous said

    February 9, 2014 @ 12:43 pm

    Conti can serve as all three MC commissioner and retired eater

    The independent invasion has put MLE to shame. Even Wingbowl as fake as it is , had more intensity and drama than the latest chilli cookoff. Sonya cannot be happy with her performance. Tim expression was even worse.

    Kobi can and has touched Chestnut. Add Juliet and LMM to the senior list. Who is to say how someone should feel about a performance?

    February 9, 2014 @ 5:33 pm

    Forgot about adding those two 309 but Juliet is still a force to be reckoned with

    Registration is open for MLE taco contest in Atmore Alabama 3/29 . It will cost you $400 to $500 to book a flight not including car rental or cab. The select few that parlay their winnings like Shoudt and Chestnut can sit back and travel cost free

    I enjoyed meeting BB in Orlando over the weekend. He said he was not allowed to eat chili for fear he would outshine everyone. He seemed nice so I treated him to lunch at Krystal’s. My shock was when I ate 7 and he only ate 2.

    If Chestnut is alive and breathing in the next 20yrs with no signs of Colon cancer or heart disease in his system from all the hot dogs he has consumed , then the myth that red meat and salt will kill you is a bunch of bullshit

  39. anonymous said

    February 10, 2014 @ 10:57 am

    1025 he only ate 2 because you werent treating him to anymore than that

    Aside from the top four finishers the rest of the field paid their own way and it was probably a struggle on their part to shell out that airfare. Money is no issue for Joey and Bob . They made enough loot in contest winnings to parlay the rest on airfare. Matt comes from a wealthy family and Tim hit the jackpot on who wants to be a millionaire.

    Sonya should get a chance to redeem herself in Oysters, The rest of the field she beat is nothing to write home about
