    Yeah I remember when Brain Chubbykin stated on his horrifyingly disgusting website that Miki wasn’t even on Juliets level…what a retarded, stupid, moronic statement that turned out to be. The truth is nobody expected the likes of Sudo and Molly at least not in our lifetime. They both easily put Sonya to eating shame.

    Anything over 5 or 6 years is probably too long to eat competitively in my opinion. You have to think about your future and your health.

    You are so full of shit you wig wearing horseface midget . You visited Seiken site at least 3x a day . You should be more concerned about getting your money back from hair club for men or bosley medical after they ripped you with the promise that your hairpiece would be non detectable to the naked eye. Well they lied because any moron with one eye will notice you have no hairline

    Sonya is a legend, always will be. She and Takeru Kobayashi are the most recognized competitive eaters on the planet. Look at her trophies. Sudo may be a competitive eater of the moment but she has years and years to even come close to Sonya. Sonya is a rock star! Do not be fooled by the newcomers.

    Obviously this was strictly a contest about technique having nothing to do with capacity. Let’s see him compete against top eaters where high volume is involved. Even Seiken can hold that much food. Was he in the meat pie contest earlier this year?

    Agreed, 951. Sonya went a few months shy of a decade and over 100 contests before losing to another lady. She is to women’s competitive eating what Kobayashi is to CE overall.

    Sonya’s meteoric rise to fame made her one of the two most recognized competitive eaters of all time. She made it acceptable for women to eat in contests. She took away much of the stigma associated with women competing in a “despicable” activity.

    I am 9:51 and am definitely not Sonya or whoever you think Hank is. I hate to have to be anonymous on this site, but the stupidity and insults and juvenile comments become attacks on whoever writes under their own name.

    7:58 am you are filled with obnoxious jealousy and are simply a rotten person. But you cannot see that. Glad he lost in his hometown. Why not stick a dagger in his mudbugs. Really, do you get that much pleasure from being a rotten person?

    Adrian Morgan is one of the most stand up competitive eaters and person I’ve met in the game. I didn’t think one could talk smack about him

    There’s no room for bad talk about Adrian. Go away or the Rabbit army will thump you.

    Well, I got Preparation H resistant Hemis on my Callouses Tee-Brud. Good Job…. A real Crawfish Eating Cajun Won fair and square. Most people don’t understand that Crawfish Eating is a technique SPEED Contest. Some of us “Professional Competitive Eaters” Naturally Eat Fast, Especially after proudly serving our country as a Proud and tough United States Marine. It takes an indestructible attitude and “Real Guts” to eat Professionally. To be beat in a “Cajun” discipline against other fellow Cajuns deserve a congratulations. Congrats to my distinguished Rival Adrian Morgan and to Russell Callais… Y’all have great techniques.. Voodoo will be ready to take the Gold next year Bawwwww… Congrats again.
