Seiken? is that the man who says that “everybody should rot in hell”, uses language like “foggots”

1:23 and 1:26 remarks represent the very reasons why Beautuful Brian Seiken is the object of negative remarks. He brings it on himself. Then when people confront him about his negativity and respond with equal sentiment he becomes angry so he makes more negative remarks about others, and that process is repeated over and over. Like directions on shampoo bottles, except instead of lather, rinse, repeat, it’s attack, receive, attack. Seiken has the power to stop it all but he doesn’t want to. He acts like a total jerk. That seems to be what he’s better at than everyone else and he doesn’t want to relinquish that title.

You want an answer troublemaker here goes. Internet confrontations is an excuse to avoid real life confrontations. Any coward can send a bunch of shit to you via email but wont even look you in the eye in person. Two of the four names did just that. Figure out who they are? Janus was prob the only one that said something to Seiken in person but that was AFTER Seiken extended his hand . He said “whats the point” ? CL never said anything to Seiken or at least he never told me about it. CL is probably the only one with any real class or dignity out of that entire bunch. And who the hell are you ? Why is this any of your business? Do you have anything else going for you in life except for keeping tabs on Seiken confrontations?

Dax Ginger maybe you should check out his site more often and realize that he speaks the truth and is one of the top journalists in the sport today.

1043, Seiken? Bury Dax the Ginger in an eating contest? I’ll take that bet. I’ll go farther than that. At least Dax is competitive eating against other competitive eaters. Seiken can’t some beat people pulled in off the street! I’ll go on to say that every large family I know of has one eater who can outeat Seiken. He’s an UNcompetitive eater.
1040, Crazy Legs did a video without naming names that somebody should refrain from using the internet as a forum for saying derogatory things about fellow comp. eaters. Anybody and everybody except Seiken perhaps knew it was about Seiken, who remains irresponsibe for his actions.
Seiken seems to get more delusional every frigging year! Is there ever going to be a bottom to his mudslinging and making stupid euphoric comments?

You should add not only Stephanie Torres to the best female eater of the year list, but also Suzanne French. She’s not the 4th best eater in the world for nothing. Even Dale Boone recognized her for her awesome talent and that says a lot.

Whenever I need to laugh I remember the “nice thing” Seiken did to recognize the female eaters, as if any one of them really wanted to have anything to do with him. He initially covered seven or eight females and the numbers started dwindling, because according to Seiken they didn’t appreciate the trouble he went through to feature the on his website. If the truth be known I bet secretly Sonya and Juliet wish he would stop doing them “favors” by mentioning them at all. Seiken is damaged goods and any association with him ends up in heartache and everyone knows it.

Anony 2:23 is that all you live for watching numbers on Seiken list dwindle down? This is about competitive eating not about Seiken dropouts. How do you know Juliet and Sonya secretly don’t want Seiken to mention them. ? Get a life or drop dead whichever comes first . Hopefully the latter. What has he ever done to you that makes you so evil? Do you go through everyday life acting this way. If she wanted to have anything to do with him . If she doesnt want anything to do with them? Seiken could probably care less what either of them think. Its a business He’s not dating them. God what hole did you crawl out from under Crawl back in please ???

OJ the only people that love your site are the ones that hide behind the PC that post anonymous. . The real people of the world, not the fake ones like you, hate it. Juliet Sonya have told me directly that they hate what you represent which is instigation of hate. Juliet and Sonya are proud that both of their names are mentioned on my site. What they dont want is their names mentioned on this site because they told me so and it wasnt about trying to be nice just to get rid of me. . Has Juliet or Sonya ever come on here publicly to deny it? No . I just wish you were present to witness what both of them told me about you and the assholes that congregate here every single day. Since you deleted my post which explained in detail what i just stated , i am repeatubg it again. Get it through your head you are a fake and the people that post on here are fakes just like you. So go ahead and let your sad no life cronies (prob you) continue to instigate and assume that Sonya Juliet or others that i happen to like, want nothing to do with me. Im enjoying every minute of this .

Seiken how dare you assert that you represent the voice of Juliet or Sonya. Just because they don’t post on eatfeats does not mean they don’t appreciate the work that goes in to it. Yes, the blog is shit because of you! All you pay attention to are the negative posts, but it is a database that took many hours of tedious work to build!
You conveniently use Juliet and Sonya as scapegoats to try to help your own cause. You know they are both the opposite of what you represent. They do not express their dissatisfaction with you directly because neither wants to hurt your feelings. You really do not give a shit about them or anyone. Only yourself. That is the only thing you excel at. Misrepresenting good people to exalt yourself. Get a backbone man. Those two have ten times the courage that you will ever have. Yet you are not only unashamed, you thrive on using people. I am getting tired of your bullshit!

This is Seiken’s take on himself (I copied it from his website this weekend.):
“40. Brian Seiken: What the hell do they want from this guy? All i read about is negative
comments from assholes that wont post their real name. He has nothing but nice things
to say about everyone. A pioneer in a journalistic sense. TV personality, Former Pickle
champ and a great role model for the sport.”
He’s a worse journalist than my dyslexic half-sister. Role model? For whom? I’m sure Rich Shea damn near died laughing when he read that.

When have you ever heard Sonya or Juliet say something negative about anyone? Never. Neither of them roll that way. Both have way too much class than that. If they want to complain, they do it privately. Have they ever been trashed here or elsewhere? Of course, a bunch of times. How do they respond? They don’t – they don’t need to, and they know it. There’s only one person who can’t just let it go and show some dignity, and he feels like it’s necessary to use the names of the finest women in CE to make himself feel better. I’m pretty sure that if Sonya, Juliet and their families were to be brutally honest and wanted to play the “Somebody said something bad about me. I have to defend myself” game, it would be devastating ego-wise. It would be wise to follow their example.

I agree with 9:33 . He is not listening to a word you say He views your distorted sense of direction as a ploy to get everyone attention in the hope that fans of this site will abandon his site. That’s basically what it boils down to. When you use words like “he doesnt get it” “self destructive” you are essentially mocking him and destroying his credibility to the point where others might view him as a demented retard. Don’t do that man . Its cruel and its not true at all. . How would you like it if people ganged up on you for irrational reasons that are not even worth getting bothered over. If he is a hater then you doing exactly what he is doing by contributing to the madness. Stop before it gets out of hand

Weirdest of all is that I have the feeling that Seiken himself wrote 10:44. Except for the Don’t do that man…but there is a space before the period at the end of the sentence which is his signature……..it does tell how he seems to view criticisms leveled at him. And 9:33 almost sounds like what he would say. It proves further that he has some kind of double view of the world overall. He gets to say whatever he wants, cruel, inappropriate, telling about people’s personal lives, then he gets to spew on here with the same and calls himself the victim.
He has one and only ONE goal, that is to make eatfeats cease. Then he could happily, in his yes warped view, be the only game in town……well, the only MLE game in town and let’s face it, he is preparing for a fight with them because once again, he is not GETTING what he wants from them either. He’s a GIMME person who will always complain about something no matter what.
Many people tried ignoring him so that he would go away. No, it does not work. Why? Because when he is ignored, this also makes him crazed so he posts under pseudonyms and tries to egg people on, Hmm, Hmm, and thinks he is so clever, then threatens Hmm or whoever is his special attack for the day or the comment.
He hates that he is put into the same kettle of fish as Gavonne, thinks he is a saint, Gavonne is not. And the things he has written about so many people, even a whole group, are beyond any kind of commonly held standards of basic not even respect, just plan decency. Then he says, well, wouldn’t you if you were attacked, fight back.
And even if we all ate shit and died as he says so often he wishes, and even if we accepted without comment being called living abortions, and even if YES, we each wrote our names and were identified for him, he would still not be satisfied and say that he is the victim, we are the unfair attackers. So yes, at this point I do think that there is something basically wrong with him. At the very least, anyone who wallows in his own misery, which frankly, he creates for himself, has some very deep seated problems.
Now, I am sure that this will have the usual backlash from him. He will dismiss this saying just because so and so writes in an educated fashion, blah, blah, I think this is either blah blah but cannot prove it, unless OJ gives out the IP address of the haters (wouldn’t be difficult according to Seiken, he really thinks that there are only maybe three at most), I am going to sue OJ for allowing haters, OJ will be exposed blah blah, OJ’s sole reason to exist is to steal his material and give people a forum to attack Seiken blah blah, and he will do this in one long never give us a break or a paragraph.
Then he will attack and attack and attack, go on strike, have a tantrum, then return thinking that he is improving his blog, yes, it is not a website and for heaven’s sake, no one, but no one could ever in seriousness call him a journalist except Seiken himself.
Let’s sum up Seiken. He has given his efforts, aside from his job which pays him to live and provided by all of us as taxpayers, exclusively to competitive eating for 14 years. He is now universally abhored except for a few friends who I could probably name but will not. Oh why not. Brian Subich is certainly a close and maybe best Bud who gives him information. Bob Shoudt supports him. Until Bertoletti has a falling out with him, while he may not praise him, is not opposed or maybe he did praise him, who could keep track. There may be a few more, but eventually they will have a falling out or be dissed or worse. Sonya will give him praise along with everyone else, everyone, period, amen. It does not mean she likes him or likes what he does.
Now, if a real journalist publicly called someone Fatso, they would be fired or put on suspension. Unfortunately, because he is so warped, he tries to highjack every thread and succeeds until it gets to an off topic level and then he thinks that he has achieved something special, the more comments, the more he is loved or hated, he does not seem to get the difference.
I do not know what to do except to write that once again, every comment including this one not related to end of year poll should be moved to off-off-off topic and let it run itself and let those who feel like playing in the shit play with each other.
Whatever the solution, Seiken is a one person pox on competitive eating, toxic to the sport, and there is no way to make him go away until, for starters, whenever his real or the name he has give himself appears, is not allowed to comment. He isn’t smart like OJ but probably knows how to make up many names for himself and post under those as well as anonymous.
Soon there will be a New Year. My wish is that OJ will figure out how to deal with this problem once and for all, come to some decision about banning Seiken for the sake of OJ’s efforts and his followers. Yes, if someone has not heard of Seiken or is new to the sport, it is human nature to want to see what the fuss it about. Some may be initially amused, but eventually they will no longer be entertained and someone else may take their place.
The main place to find information about competitive eating based upon statistics and facts and side by side comparison along with everything, just about everything happening and pertaining to competitive eating and then some, is right here on eatfeats.
ALLOW ME TO PUBLICLY AGAIN THANK OJ FOR CREATING AND CONTINUING THIS WEBSITE WITH DEDICATION AND ASKING FOR NOTHING IN RETURN AND WISHING OJ AN EARLY HAPPY NEW YEAR. It would be really nice to start out the year with a Seiken free eatfeats. That would be my wish for 2012.
Now what was the topic here? Oh yes, end of year polls. THANKS OJ FOR YOUR POLLS.

6:09 I certainly cannot disagree with what you say. I always try to look at good things in people, though you sometimes have to wade through quite a bit of muck to find them; but they are always there. So here goes:
Things I like about BB:
1. He has a pretty good singing voice—-beats the heck out of mine, as well as that of most others I’ve listened to.
2. His site, over the years, has brought me considerable joy and laughter, exclusively when he praised (never when he ripped) others via his Bits and Pieces, anecdotes, and self-made videos/tributes to other people. The man can be very endearing.
My wish for him in 2012 is that he abandons his attack-mode tactics toward others. You rarely go wrong if you try to live by the motto, “If you can’t say something nice about someone, don’t say anything at all.”
Actually, what people don’t say about someone often speaks volumes, and it does so without throwing people under a bus in public. Nobody likes that, even if the bus has good brakes and the bus driver is congenial. Those on the pavement who see the bus coming don’t know that.
There’s another motto I like and try to live by (with few exceptions): “Praise in public; chastise in private.” It’s hard to go wrong practicing that also.
It’s so easy in this day and age to get caught up in “one-upmanship,” where people try to outdo one another in public. It’s about being obsessed with attention, as if there’s a finite supply of intangibles in this world like attention, praise, and even love. There is not a fixed amount, nor will there ever be. There’s an endless supply for every person on this earth.
People that are secure with themselves don’t need to exalt themselves in an effort to garner attention. That’s a game they wisely do not play. Notable competitive eaters that portray that quality are Legs, Sonya, Badlands, Juliet, Larell Marie, Tim Janus, Pretty Boy, and a few others who don’t come to mind right now.
You know what those people all seem to have in common? They’re happy, and for the most part, at peace. They can teach most of us a lesson, including myself. Honestly, sometimes when I feel troubled I ask myself, “What would do I think Legs or Booker would do right now?” Then I have my answer, which is usually “Don’t sweat the small stuff,” or something to that effect.
Okay, I’m done babbling, but I hope there are a few kernels of wisdom that we, me included, can use. It’s therapeutic to write down things we know and take for granted. Sometimes seeing our thoughts written out gives us additional insight. It does for me.
Have a great morning everyone! 🙂

Isnt this incredibly amazing that one obsessed weirdo has so much time on his or her hands ( i will bet the ranch its a woman) that they are able to compose what appears to be 1500 words or more of sheer bullshit. Lady i might have read 3 sentences before realizing what a hateful sorry ass bitch you truly are. Do you actually think any sane person is going to believe a word you just said except for the morons like you that congregate on this site all day and all night. I just had to copy past a line from the Randy Santel post which sums you up to a science
“If all you anonymous idiots spent as much time trying to do something with your own meaningless lives, as you do cutting other people down that actually work hard and enjoy what they do, you might actually accomplish something” That about tells it all 6:09 . Saddest part of it all is that you have a gift . A gift in writing . Not that you write well but you certainly spell well. Whats the point its just wasted talent. because my life appears to be your life.
Maybe you should just move in with me and compose an autobiography of my life since you seem to know so much about me . Its actually pretty boring but im honored to know there is some obsessed screwball out there who is willing to spend so much time trying to figure me out . “space between periods”? Playing Inspector Cloussuau ? Is that what makes you a real woman? . YOU ARE THE ONE THAT NEEDS A LIFE OK? just listen to yourself ? Take the time to read what you just wrote and you will come to realize how much help you really need . I mean a hell of a lot of help!
Wait a minute i lied . As i was ignoring most of your lies and bullshit about me i did stumble upon your evaluation of my relationships with other eaters which was mentioned in my Xmas message. I know its you because you sit by the computer 24/7 hoping for another falling out between me and another IFOCE member. Well honey those days are OVA . If by some remote chance i have another falling out with anyone including your lovely self, it wont be broadcast on here , on my website or for that matter anywhere else unless you plan to move in with me . Oh by the way i have alot more than a few friends in competitive eating . I just basically rid myself of the bad ones with no intention of “burying the hatchet with any of them” Once shit always shit and that you can take to the bank
As far as the three names you mentioned Shoudt Subich Bertoletti . All three have two things in common with me . They hate this site and would never post here and all three have been slammed on here at one point in their careers. Certainly not to the extent like i have been but hate is hate and you fit that category to a science.
Keep wishing for a new year resolution you warped minded FOOL! Im not going anywhere and OJ is not going to fix YOUR problem. He enjoys this childish nonsense far too much to let a bitter screwball such as yourself ruin it.You love every minute of this and you know it because you have no other life besides Seiken. You have no friends you lonely pathetic weirdo.
What i wish for the New Year is for this site to totally disappear not so much because i want fans of the sport to be deprived of comp eating news, but more so that NO LIFE PARASITES such as yourself would have no other choice but to find another source to vent your sick hatred towards me . That would certainly be hard to find dont you think? .I think that would kill you realizing your voice of hatred is cut off .and that you might have no choice but resort to 2000 word essays to me personally or the IFOCE . But wait a minute you tried that already didnt you ? By the way have a shitty day and a rotten new year HA

It must have taken 15 to 20 min for 6:09 to compose that comment about Seiken. Those 20 min could have been used in a more constructive way like mowing the lawn, hitting the treadmill or writing poetry. Pretty sad that some people have nothing else going on for them in life.

There’s another motto I like and try to live by (with few exceptions): “Praise in public; chastise in private.†It’s hard to go wrong practicing that also.
If the haters practiced what you just said , there would be much less hate on this site and a reason to visit more often. “outdo one another in public obsessed with attention” That describes the Seiken haters !

I think 609 should get up in front of a drama class and recite that entire passage about Seiken insisting that the students take notes One has to wonder if 609 can project his or voice in the same convincing manner like the one we just read .

Back on topic …
I do believe you surely must add others to the female EOTY list, to include Juliet, Suzanne French, and Stephanie Torres, at a minimum. Of course, Dale will likely overload the ballot box on Suzanne and she’ll likely win out.
Good choices for male EOTY. Maybe also include Naader Reda (sorry if I misspelled the name, and hope I didn’t misspell misspell), as well as Randy Santel and Eric Dahl.
That’s my input.

Hey OJ what about most surprising performance by any eater (on the upside OR downside, both genders included)?
Grace Lee immediately comes to mind, as does Edible’s turkey performance, and Stephani Torres’ performance in HDBs at the finals.
Just a thought, however, as I got a bit bored for a moment, since the Web site I need to do some work at is down. 🙁

Naader & Randy will be in the male eating challenger poll and Eric Dahl will be in the list of male rookies.
I will add Juliet Lee & Stephanie Torres to the woman of the year poll, but not add Suzanne French since there is no evidence she competed in a contest or completed a challenge in 2011.

6:09 you should take Rhonda Evans advice and try to dwell on the good things i have done for the sport instead of trying to find as much negative shit you can find . Why dont you say something nice about my Christmas album on my site which i put together a few yrs ago to add joy to the holidays, Why dont you say something nice about the collection of contest videos i posted with more to folllow.
. Why dont you say something nice about the top 50 poll i created? No No instead you look to instigate problems with the likeable eaters trying to find any excuse as to why they might or should not like me. “trying to appease him” “im sure they would prefer not having their names associated with Seiken site” “being polite and cordial to him just to get rid of him” Do you realize how much trouble you are causing with those preposterous accusations . Youre primary goal is for everyone in the sport to hate me and nothing more. Just come out and admit it . You hate me and everything i represent because you are on JEALOUS pathetic fool.
I can just imagine how you went about your life before the advent of PC’s My god you must have sat next to your typewriter with your legs crossed foaming at the mouth, pulling the paoer from the typewriter , and mailing those vicious hate letters to each and every one of your enemies. I am positive i am not your only enemy in your miserable life.

I’m really sorry to hear that. I hope everyone gets along better in 2012. … I really mean it.
I’ve always felt that one of the biggest tragedies in life is for two people to dislike each other, as a result of not taking the time to try to understand one another.
Not trying to understand each other is a cop out; it’s easy. It takes more effort to really try to get to know the good side of a person, but it pays much larger dividends.
I can’t believe others don’t feel similarly.

Or 20. May be you should Just take comments under advisement Seiken, think before you spew, in the end you might be happier. And people like me could see and acknowledge good things you HAVE done.

I’m Melissa Savoy. And imagine my surprise at being called out as a “hater” of someone to whom I’ve never been anything but polite, considerate and helpful. At his request, I’ve videotaped contests for Beautiful Brian that were posted on his website, at the cost of my own photos of the event. I happen to be engaged to an eater, who, apparently, is a target of Brian’s ire. For what reason, I have no idea, as I am not a reader of this board. This is the first post I’ve ever made here because I’ve heard about how nasty the comments and accusations get and I really have no desire to add that drama to my everyday life.
I enjoy the contest events and spending time with the eaters in the purely social aspect. I find it interesting that some “anonymous” poster knows me well enough to call me by name and accuse me of hating. If you’re going to make such a claim, be a sport and use your own damn name. It’s only fair I know who you are, since you seem to know me.

He could contribute a lot here if he chooses to.

No more who posted this first and who posted that first. I’ll say whatever has to be said about anyone or anything in the sport that doesn’t sit well with me but personal beefs or public slamming of an individual on my site will hopefully be avoided . I don’t think its fair to them and will cause nothing but more misery and tension

10:44, I didn’t say that at all. I said, and I quote, “I appreciate him MOST when he posits his thoughts objectively.” There is absolutely nothing negative about, in, or surrounding what I said.
Your spin on it / chosen misinterpretation represents one of the reasons BB dislikes the comments of many anonymous posters on this site.
I challenge you to adopt and follow through on one of former President George H. W. Bush’s proclamations: Be a kinder and gentler anonymous poster!

Seiken cannot report the local news if MLE keeps him out of the NYC scene. He can always show up at an event but he feels as though he has to be in it to win it .

I am confused by the previous postings. Why does the poster or BB feel as though he is getting the shaft in NYC? I thought he always worked back and forth as an eater and reporting on the contests, so if he isn’t in a contest, he can still videotape them and write his own take on it. What is wrong with that?

As usual, Rhonda precedes me and has my back. You have a big set Rhonda, and it is much appreciated. Come on people, get with a new program. These comments referring to Seiken and Lane etc. are a very dirty broken record, whether they come from Seiken himself or others who dislike him intensely. Enuf! Enuf said. Take a page from Bookers Book but with one correction. “It” is definitely and absolutely not all good. Stop reacting and behaving badly, people will hear you better.
