Someone said in another post comment that the reason the IFOCE website was down was that they then could secretly schedule a contest in NJ so CLC could qualify. So is this the final field? I have been trying to check the IFOCE website since Saturday too see if an additional qualifier has been scheduled, but it is Tuesday, and it is STILL down. Talk about not being a professional organization.

gourmand you seriously believe everything you hear on here? competitive eating conspiracy theories talked about on eatfeats are as credible as brian seiken saying he will eat 20 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes.

If a secret qualifier is held just for Conti i guarantee many ranked eaters will walk away from the organization That is pure fact and not the qualifier

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the IFOCEMLE should reserve the right to add TWO or THREE eaters to the final table AT THEIR DISCRETION. These would be eaters who are beloved and would add some entertainment value to the event (like Crazy Legs) or who have paid their dues and deserve a spot at the table (like Steakbellie or Brian Subich, who’s retiring this year).

what about Seiken ?
beautifulbrian said
July 2, 2014 @ 11:05 am
Just for the record and i say this with all honesty. If IFOCE added me to the table at their discretion i would decline the offer . If i did not earn a spot in a qualifier then i would not want it for any other reason except for that reason alone . 12 to 15 yrs ago i might have thought different I am not that desperate for attention. Prob finish dead last anyway so whats the point? . It would only cause dissension jealousy and stupid comments from haters especially on this site
Legend said
July 2, 2014 @ 11:40 am
I think the biggest question on everyone mind is whether or not Seiken will be at Nathans . They might just hold up the event and create a pathway for the high and mighty legend to walk through. George Shea will make the announcement while pointing with his finger ” Ladies and Gentleman look over yonder there he is . He is here He is here

While Coney will suffer the remnants of Hurricane Arthur on July 4, Kobayashi will compete in a fancy air conditioned hotel in NYC

“These would be eaters who are beloved and would add some entertainment value to the event (like Crazy Legs) or who have paid their dues and deserve a spot at the table (like Steakbellie or Brian Subich, who’s retiring this year)”
… or Brian Seiken
(Note: this is not a sarcastic comment. Brian has paid his dues and might be retiring too.)

Brian’s quest is to be a martyr, but he can never be treated unfairly enough times to convince himself that he has finished the role. He will never retire. He will never take his site down. He will never stop complaining about how much he has been screwed over. He needs to be shit on. It feeds him.

Expect a last minute qualifier at Coney featuring Conti vs a bunch of grown up kids that competed in the neat eating contest from the past

There will probably be a contest somewhere in brooklyn to let legs in…So what,he should be there.. He’s a great personality and adds to a boring contest.

From the Weather Channel (for NYC): Cloudy with periods of rain. High 74F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inch.
Question. When it does rain, do they just eat in the rain, or what?
anonymous said
July 3, 2014 @ 8:25 am
Good job Rhonda . I actually expected you to lie and say the weather will be great like the rest of the optomists that live in denial. Even if it does not rain which it will, not worth risk of driving out there especially if they cannot provide any form of shelter to watch the contest . Of course the college kids and groupies will show up scream and cheer with their annoying balloons regardless of the weather

I’m not going to say the weather is going to be great, if I see it will be shitty.
