Who put this piece of crap together? Not one entertaining part in the entire movie except for the 98 hot dog contest

Those were the days when it was fun to compete . It wasnt the Joey Pat and Sonya show which has virtually ruined the entire sport. Everyone had a punchers chance to win.

Right, 12:05, it is mediocrity that makes any sport. Anyone who approaches superstar status should be prohibited from further competition.

@12:05 – if you don’t like the sport the way it is now, quit your whining and don’t sign up for any contests. Very simple. Then there might be a spot for another Matt Stonie or Jamie McDonald to show up and start kicking some butt.

True about mediocrity but just wait and see sooner or later people are going to get tired of losing to the same greedy eaters and then the superstar names just mentioned can compete against one another till they reach age of 80 . Have fun

There will always be someone to take your or the “people’s” place. Deal with it or make room for someone else.

Same answer, 2:43. There will always be cannon fodder to fill the ends of the table, so walk away.

6:15 p.m. your sarcasm is noted. Everyone has a life, it is what you choose to do with it that counts. Your veiled reference is, I assume, a dig at Sonya. Sonya should have her own franchise, she would be perfect to attract loads of customers. That would take a lot of money and investors. Sonya does not live from her MLE earnings, no one does except for Joey.

That 12:58 comment was mine. I was being facetious, actually ridiculous, to make a point.
