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.

Thanks for the info OJ and 6:28. I had even seen MLE’s post about the SD qualifier. They seem to have a history of pulling pranks.

stupid pranks and stupid tweets mentioning only the eaters they enjoy promoting while some of them cannot eat their way out of paper bag

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

If your a female and your personal best is 2 you can bet you will get in
anonymous said
March 22, 2015 @ 8:15 pm
if your last name is seiken you will eat 11 and be the laughing stock of the whole organization

Beats cheating his way into the Nathans finals 5x winning against set ups and 25 hollowed out dogs which actually counts as 15

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

Seiken did not register for June 14 from what i heard so apparant your little smear campaign went down the toilet even before it got started Ha ha ha ha

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
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
