    watch the video, Kobi was shoving food in his mouth at the end.

    Molly was up. The show was rigged from the get go. Organizers promoted Kobi so they had to give him the crown.

    Molly was ahead at the end, but lost due to the weight amount of the leftovers on the tray. She was around 163, but after weighing the crumbs, dropped down to 130-something. This happened to Mr. Takeru, aswell.

    Deductions determine outcomes. That should not be difficult to understand or take into account.

    What does ‘You are shirts suck’ mean?

  18. How to deduce it? said

    July 31, 2016 @ 5:12 pm

    Deductions should not just be based on weight. You could intentionally avoid the hard bits (jalapenos?) and gorge up on the easies that weigh more.

    Molly threw up in her hands in the last minute and tried to cover it up. Should’ve been dq’d. What a disgrace.

  21. Locust said

    That she did, but this was not a MLE contest where the reversal of fortune dq is applied. There was a lot of food that fell from thier mouths back into the trays as they were both going at warp speed. It took a long time to weigh the debris and I thought Molly had won as she appeared to be a tray ahead even though she ran into tròuble near the end. The last 30 seconds made the difference.

    According to nutrition facts website, each taco has like FOUR HOUNDRED calories.
    https://www.healthydiningfinder.com/restaurant/Chronic-Tacos

    So did the top two raelly ingest more than FIFTY THOUSEND calories??

    Or were the “tacos” a smaller version, like the brekafast taco on their menu?

  26. "Snap" tacos said

    August 1, 2016 @ 9:01 am

    Probably they weren’t even breakfast tacos (240 calories), but Snap Pollo Asado (110) or Snap Carne Asada (120).

    See page 3 here.

    Makes it a lot less impressive.

    7/29 8:52pm, Who’s being Trumped now? Why it’s Trump himself! It is entertaining to watch that buffoon in self destruçt mode. He can’t even win an argument with Rosie O’Donnell.

    Molly is robbed of a tray between 30-40, very odd they are switching Kobayashi’s trays around at the end (less tacos? I think so), and the marvel eats after time was called. So glad he is a legend.
