Why are all the cheap floridians that won’t spend money to travel anywhere else getting a chance to compete 4 times a year?

Sonya already has the results and she wasn’t even there, unless she came in last.

Someone must have called her with the results or sent a message. Nice that the MLE eaters or fans or families and friends are so inter-connected.

What happened to Joey, Pat, Tim, Sonya, Legs, Juliet and Brian? Was there an airplane strike that prevented the eaters from comming? Its easy to break a record with no competion around..A contest just for Bob’

WhooHoo Adrian! That is awesome, humbling the formerly humble one. You are a force! The rounder outers of the field should be congratulated too, it takes many competitors to make a competition. It is nice that many of the usual suspects were not there for their own reasons. There are enough contests now that even the top eaters need not attend all, they do have other lives I presume. When MLE is paying its top eaters as their full time job, you can raise a question about their whereabouts. Otherwise, just nonsense, trashing people with stupid remarks.

P.S. That includes Notorious Bob, implying or saying that he had no competition or that it was set up in some way for him. Please, enough with the conspiracy theories already. You guys read way too much into things which are not true. Just use some logic once in a while, just my not humble opinion.

Cheap ass floridians? Picallo was in his second event and came from tampa both times.now her is a list of all the places I have paid to fly: san antonio, escondido, waterloo, colorado, chicago (to watch not compete), north carolina and puerto rico and I went to all these places knowing my odds of cashing. So what cheap floridians are you talking about?
And btw I never claimed to be a force in the Mle, my nickname more accuratly represents my mind set and physical stature.

First off, i want to say congrats to B.o.B and everyone else who came out and competd it was nice to meet everyone again.
now for sour grapes:
I’m already getting tired of these childish remarks, its not the MLE moving events you half wit the sponsor has a restaurant at the hard rock casino in Hollywood,FL and he lives down here and asked the hard rock if he could have it there.
im sure i wouldn’t of thrown up the meatballs at the last second of the countdown if they were cooked all the way. Nonetheless i understand time constraints on making that many bread-meatballs in a short period of time. I vow that this upsetting moment for me is only going to make me stronger and make all the people that didnt go have more to bitch about.
im trying real hard not to express ragequit from these childish selkymous comments.

It seems to me that there was more competition in Las Vegas last year. Was this just given to Shoudt?

He deserves what? What has he done? Tim Janus or Booker or even Legs should been given the championship.

you seem to be preoccupied with trolling every chance you get instead of actually competing, get over it.
