    An unnamed tubby last placed low ranked wannabee eater almost shit in his pants at the 2009 AC Nathan’s qualifier when he saw Pete Meirniki was competing and begged George Shea to put him at the other end of the table. This same pot bellied eater bragged when he eat 12 hotdogs to Pete’s 11.

    Does anyone know if you can register for two or more Nathan’s qualifiers?

    Three has been the maximum number of qualifers allowed

    I’m pretty sure there is no official rule stating the maximum number of qualifiers you can do.

    Thanks again OJ and also Josh. Very helpful information! I want to register for at least two, to have an emergency backup, in case I reverse or get ill.

    Why do commenters lie on this site? This year someone said CLC is going to the qualifier in SD, which is not true, as there is no qualifier in SD And last year they said MLE was holding a secret qualifier so CLC could qualify.

    The South Dakota qualifier was a joke, presumably based on Conti qualifying at an August 2007 contest in Saratoga, NY that was not highly publicized and did not have a strong field.

    The only qualifier that is rigged are any that says seiken finished with anything more then 11

  40. anonymous said

    March 22, 2015 @ 11:40 am

    He may be able to eat more that 11 of his own hollowed out roach grilled hotdogs during one of his pathetic practices. Come actual contest time, when the dogs are cold and gross, nerves set in, the competition gets in his head, hits his wall after 5 and the acid reflux kicks in…. It’s 11 and no mas as he stands there like a boob with his mouth stuffed with debris.

    I registered for two Nathan’s events on Friday morning, but I have not heard back yet. Is it safe to assume I am out? I am female, by the way. Should I register for more in the meantime, to be safe?

    Seiken hasnt been asked to renew his contract since 2006 I think they could care less if he left tomorrow

  48. anonymous said

    March 22, 2015 @ 10:14 pm

    Setting up a qualifier is one thing but the dogs still have to be consumed. You can’t finish half of what most eaters can which makes you a fraud and a never has been. Go embarrass yourself on June 14 so we can all get a good laugh again. If you cannot finish 20 for the first time in your long competitive eating stint then it is time to go away and make room for some new blood.

    It’s unfair because Tubolardkens contract was hollowed out when he signed it.

    It is interesting how many Nathan’s qualifiers just have a single female participant.

    http://eatfeats.com/nathans-womens-contests-with-a-sole-participant.html

    When independent contests are split by gender, they usually have more men than women, but also generally attract multiple females.

    OJ is correct. In fact, all three Nathan’s qualifiers this season have had only one female partipant. They were won by Daniella Gioia, Juliette Lee, and Mary Bowers. All three are ranked MLE eaters.

    why is seiken so obsessed with shit that happened over 10 years ago, ever hear the term get over it? also why is he so obsessed with people not even in MLE anymore? again, get over it? pretty pathetic he holds on to grudges he can’t win

  57. anonymous said

    March 23, 2015 @ 2:54 pm

    Seiken is not obsessed with anyone . It seems that someone else is obsessed with 11 hog dogs roaches and Seiken stats at Nathans qualifiers. As soon as a Nathans post appears two disgruntled no life fat slobs feel the need to chime in with utter nonsense that has no relevance to the post

    You will be surprised the damage this site has done with the hateful remarks and lies about people. The old saying is just ignore but its hard to ignore when comments are posted for everyone to look at . The only good side is that not many visit this site or that competitive eating community is small in comparison to other hobbies in life
