The first two numbers i believe. The second two are suspect. How much crap was in their mouth after 1 min swallow rule

I was deducted 1.5 dogs because of debris Pete ate very clean with zero debris. I quess I’ll work on eating cleaner next time. I guarantee Pete will do 25 in the finals.

Boone was there and was a big help to me. Everytime I slowed down he encouraged me to pick it up.

I’d love to say I ate 16, but my real total was 14 – I’m still happy with it…Congrats, Pete!
Mia, his Survivor wife, was hilarious. That is the loudest screaming I have ever heard. My daughter, Rachel (who won her third consecutive neat-eating contest), was trying to make videos of me, and all you hear is “Come on Pete, You’re doing great, Pete, Come on, you can do it,etc…” She made two babies cry, even one at another table! I hope they come back to Atlanta soon – we’ve got a guest room ready!!
Bubba, sorry about the deductions, and Larry – you’re back!
Other totals:
Rick Petrailia -11
SuperPhat Mikey from Star 94 radio – 8
Ben “The Turtle” Griffin- 10

Thanks Bubba. It was definitely a solid competition. My goal was and still is 20…I just want to say thanks for the help and support that I received from my good friends and fellow eaters back up north. I don’t know about doing 25 this year, but I’ll do my best to represent in Coney!

It takes a real man to admit their totals were wrong unlike certain other high or mid ranked ranked eaters that take sheer delight in getting over on a judge’s miscalculation. Everyone should take their hats off to Superpaul & Wild Bill who unlike some sad individuals that base their entire IFOCE existance on hoping that the judge makes a mistake in their favor so they could justify the fact that they are ranked ahead of BB and other low ranked eaters. Very sad.

anony at 4:19pm can you be referring to Pete Merniki when you left that post about eaters that base their entire IFOCE existance praying for a judge error ?

That was a cheap car salesmans trick spreading the word that Chip Simpson would compete in Atlanta when he never had any intention of competing anywhere for that matter. This way you scare off eaters like subich mongo or others that are in the 19-20 hot dog range. Desperate fools!

“1.5 should have been 11.5” is a quote from a local reporter. I couldn’t believe the intensity. It was my first time seeing a professional contest in person. I loved it.

Go F- yourself with 11.5 it looked like 1.5 buns all chewed up and wet if that. I’ve seen way bigger messes under Rich, Conti, Bob, Shredder, Janis, Joey, Sonya etc.

SuperPaul, Steakbellie, BB, Natural, Booker, and obvious others THANKS for the props. I’m definitely pumped. How could I not? I’m going to Coney to compete against the best. Words can’t describe how awesome this experience is and will be. As far as the few negative comments, I understand I could very likely have the lowest total going in…but if I’m going to be a TableEnder, at least its at our SuperBowl! Ill represent, have a great time, and do some HDB damage! See you all in NYC….

Pete
Don’t let them get to you. They’re just jealous (if they’re eaters) or trolls. They’re not worth the time it takes to read their posts. Have fun at Coney Island and keep up the positive attitude.
