1) Tim “Eater X” Janus 120 wings

3) Juan Angel 110 wings
4) Joe Kennedy 97
5) “Beastly” Brody 78

The contest is expected to start at 7 pm and will take place at the Fontainbleu Hotel, where the James Bond classic Goldfinger begins. The competition is being held in conjunction with the 16th Annual Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant. Tim Janus is a late addition to the field.

    Tim decided to enter after he found out about the swimsuit competition.

    What a low ball move by Janus to screw it up for Yasir

    Low ball? Yasir did great! Why take a swipe at Yasir by discounting his ability! Tim had to go all out!

    Yasir is a complete slob in both hotdogs and wings. Strange that he ate almost as many wings as X and Kong, but over 2lbs less??? Yasir may be the new Juliet

    Sonya must have really sucked. Otherwise they would list results.

    This explains why they added the qualifier in Sac.

    On the other hand, not mentiuoning her total adds to the mystique. Though the way hooters is going anyone can win.

    I’m glad the eaters didn’t run into any cannibals in Miami.
