I don’t know that anyone could’ve done any better than Pete did this year, but you still have to give it to Joey. Going undefeated in AICE is damn impressive, but it’s not the same thing as being #1 in IFOCE. Sorry Pete – I want to give it to you, but I just can’t.

Pete hasn’t even competed for a full year yet…I’m impressed. I think we will see what he is really made of in the next year…

I think Joey and Pete are both impressive. But Joey has beaten the legend himself, Kobayashi, twice in the same year, at the two most recognized venues in competitive eating —- Nathan’s and Krystals. Yet, Pete remains undefeated.

Whether the competition is better or not in either organization, who’s to really say? I never thought Koby would be headed in competition, but I was wrong. Many people may be underestimating Pete, especially a year from now, as he continues to improve.

Rich Lefevre has been doing it longer than anyone, and if this was over all capacity without a time limit, he’s the best – followed by Deep Dish. Sonya is still by far the top female eater – I hope she will still be a regular this year – she deserves more than flipping Whoppers.

Nobody has mocked the Hangman for quite some time. Those that did poke fun at his speech problem are insensitive jerks but there has not been any negative comments about him in a long time. Seems the Hungman is even taking a break from posting.

I wish people would lay off the hangman. He stopped making annoying comments months ago but still one or two very sick individuals even went so far as poking fun at his speech impediment. I have no respect for anyone that mocks a handicap
