Chiun peng and michelle both ate 21.5 not 20. Both did excellent especially surprised by card board shell. Peng should certainly be ranked a well he always performs well. Kobi Bauer ate 18 as well as big red. Always a well run contest and I’m honored to be representing arizona again this year. See y’all in coney!
