This organization has become a joke. Eaters that either quit or were thrown out are right back in the mesh. Quite obvious it’s who they like

Great job Ron only half pound less than you put up at Alka Seltzer US open . The mayor is back
Rich said

It was great to have you back, Ron. This area is so tough with Matt, Joey, Miki and Michelle all within striking distance. MLE Western Divisiòn is like NBA’s Western Division.

All the totals should be half of what was reported here? Sounds more like it .
anonymous said
October 17, 2015 @ 10:25 pm
Why is it that pasta contests bring out the worst judges. Are we going to the videotape like they did after Lefevre bitched about getting screwed in 2003 which he rightfully was ?
half totals said
October 17, 2015 @ 10:32 pm
OJ your totals are way off base just like Seiken results were when he had his site. Lefevre still can’t top Ed Jarvis 6lbs at Paesano 12yrs ago . Michelle tied it but you didn’t What happened Rich? Sudo and Stonie only proved their greatness even more
Anonymous said
October 18, 2015 @ 2:05 am
OJ, you should correct these totals and the headline to reflect MLE’s correction. Stonie won with 10. Sudo second with 7. And for everybody else you can halve their totals.
Rich said
October 18, 2015 @ 10:15 am
Contest was 8 minutes long. The one in 2003 was 10. Those extra 2 minutes are very productive for me and the other top eaters would have increased their totals significantly as well. I would have easily topped 7 pounds in 10 minutes.

After the pasta contest in 2003 some creepy looking wannabe who competed with his head down while his eyes were rolling back and forth like a mental case that forgot his meds, approached Seiken and asked how he did ? When Seiken replied 3rd place he claimed he got 3rd also. After a few minutes Seiken waited for Ed Jarvis to finish his interview with reporters and whispered to Jarvis “What hole did you find this clown from? Hes short hes ugly and extremely annoying”
Anonymous said

Seiken didn’t really place 3rd after proper calculations for hollowed out pasta were conducted. And….. “Medical emergency” – my ass…
anonymous said
October 19, 2015 @ 10:09 am
i think the ice on the cake was when Goldstein lost some qualifier at Molly Pitcher , then told Seiken he’s getting in anyway because they created a second wild card or some bullshit to that effect. Seiken email Rich Shea about it and the response was something like “dont believe what you hear hes’ full of it” Seiken secretly lobbied to have him tossed from the IFOCE but George loves the loser
anonymous said
October 19, 2015 @ 12:55 pm
George loves anybody that will be one of his cronies and commit to the MLE. Most smart people leave and move on to other things while some just hang around like a stain on the wall. It’s there for years yet nobody notices.

Like I said before Rich is the king of Vegas. He finishes 4th and still breaks the old record. The new eaters are good I mean very good, but until they compete and match what Rich has done they will be just very good eaters. Rich is always in the money.What a great day , what great competition. Stonie and Miki WOW

Hmmmmm,Very interesting. If you view the Paris video of the event you see some eaters pushing leftover spaghetti into full plates tha have’nt been touched givinh the illusion of an empty plate
anonymous said
October 21, 2015 @ 3:57 pm
That’s odd. A similar scenario took place 10yrs ago at a meatball contest in Atlantic City where an eater with limited skills felt the need to live up to his inflated ranking by tossing meatball from a semi eaten bowl to a full uneaten bowl convenient located just inches away
anonymous said
October 21, 2015 @ 8:41 pm
I just saw the video.Its so unbelivable that people have to cheat just to stroke their ego. Need judges at contests..Good job cheaters

They cheat to prove to others that they accomplished something in a life that never amounted to anything to begin with

Whatever pasta was left in the bowels was either weighed or eyed to check for debris. Impossible for anyone to have cheated. Get a life trolls.

a meatball contest in Atlantic City… Is that where a low ranked hack got the idea to ask an eaters wife for her underware? Hmmm Hmmm.
back t the past said
October 22, 2015 @ 10:50 am
No no no stop going off topic. Brian Subich caught you tossing meatballs in an attempt to preserve your pitiful highly inflated ranking even though you had no chance of finishing in the money. Pitiful just freakin pitiful
inspector noodle said
October 22, 2015 @ 10:56 am
First off whoever ran the meatball contest in 2004 or 5 is the one to blame. There should not and i repeat SHOULD NOT be more than one bowl of meatballs per eater on the table. When they finish the first bowl and only when they finish the first bowl, should the judge bring out another for that eater. With two bowls in front of someone who is an alleged cheater , just gives them the opportunity to play cute. I think an investigation should be conducted in regard to the 2004 or 5 Carmines meatball contest. Does anyone have a video of the event ?
anonymous said
October 22, 2015 @ 1:21 pm
To 7:40AM…the pasta was never weighed after the contest , and the only ones who were eyeballed were the top 5..Its so funny that when you view the video its so clear that they are cheating and they dont even care

So sudo and stonie are cheaters? Wow I would never dream they would do that
anonymous said
October 22, 2015 @ 1:42 pm
Are you referring to Brian Subich, future political figure who was busted on video for cheating at a Nathan’s qualifier in Philly and who was given a chance to come clean when George Shea sent Mr. Subich the video and e-mail entitled “Malfeasance in Philly” but decided to stand by his bullshit total even though the video clearly shows the cheater dropping large chunks of hotdog and bun into grape Gatorade????? Never heard of him.
anonymous said
October 22, 2015 @ 3:44 pm
Yeah that sucks if that info about Subich is somehow leaked to media. It could be quite damaging to his political future

How did Lesley Ryder do?

“1:28 – Mary Bowers, only two minutes after the competition and still standing on stage, has already cleaned her face and is reapplying her makeup. On the flipside, one of her female rivals, Lesley Ryder, continues to show signs of trying not to barf.”

Foodbeast.com says I took the spaghetti off my shirt and ate it with my hands,was I suppose to use a fork off my shirt,..What you missed is that I picked up my debree off the floor and put it in my plate and ate it with a fork..The only time I used my hand was to shove the spaghetti down my throat ( I couldn’t swallow at that point ) its that ok with you..
