Radim cheated his way to tie with Miki. He was eating food out of his hands for a full 45 seconds after contest ended.
And no, It was not just chipmunking. He was literally eating his last pieces of bologna out of his hands, long after the contest ended. Watch Webb’s livestream on YouTube to see for yourself.

Miki is the equivalent of a mid grade eater now. Radim = the Nathan’s champ. Was she trying not to try again. And again.

Did you notice the different coloured plates ?? Was this to avoid another plate gate?

Radim definitely CHEATED and should be disqualified. He clearly keeps eating with food in hand post time stop and continues to eat. Watch this live video starting at 27:16 and after.

Yup, Randy’s buddy Radim cheated. What’s with Randy and his lack of judgement on character and integrity with people? Is he that hard up to keep going with views and likes that he’ll take any avenue to garner new viewers? Randy seems to like new eating grifters, frauds, and cheats nowadays for collabs? Maybe he should go back to the old grifting crew like Garbage man? He may have to find him out in the wilderness as a self-proclaimed rich dude living out of his car though. After all, it’s so impressive to be able to buy a new car these days and is indicative of extreme wealth.

Randy always says ‘Win before you begin’… but it also works backwards.

It’s amazing what people will do to gain an advantage in an eating contest. Whether it was ignorance of the rules or blatant cheating, MLE should at the very least deduct from his total; otherwise, it will appear that they don’t care about the integrity of the contests or the accuracy of the results.

Radims hands over his mouth as he keeps chewing doesn’t look much different than Pat.

Better watch closer. Radim had FOOD in his hands. Pat did not.

Seriously Radim needs to be investigated by the FBI! This is ridiculous! Radhim the shoveler who needs a handful after the bell in order to beat Miiki. Where is ICE?

Actually the oversight set MLE back an additional $300 by having the tie for 5th. (no $ for 6th)

Radim is the best eater in Europe and he is getting better every contest that he does !

Pretty sure there are some good eaters in Spain. And what about Jesse (Jessie?) from Finland/Norway?
I wouldn’t go as far to say he is the best in Europe. He has improved since last year though. I guess it’s easy to train / do food challenges and travel all over the world when you don’t have a job.

8:20 – It is called being a grifter. Note how he latches onto Randy every time in the USA. Mooching off of Randy I’m sure.

Radhim is a joke. He is like the guy who scored a 3 pointer in garbage time. Wow best in Europe and he cheated to be mid level professional eater? Wannabe.

Oh Radhim, the self-declared Bologna Baron of Europe. Only you could turn a friendly eating contest into an international incident. Hands full of meat like you were smuggling deli slices across customs, and still chomping after the buzzer like it was a race to save your reputation—newsflash, it’s too late.
You’re not a competitor, Radhim—you’re a walking food violation. No wonder you always win… you’ve turned cheating into a European tradition.

Radhim’s living proof that you can travel thousands of miles just to lower the standards on two continents at once.

Lol it’s funny to see how most people in this chat are happy about this “incident”. If this hadn’t happened you would have surely found another topic to post similar ridiculous comments..

Radhim is Number 1 in Europe now . Max eats is Number 2 . Dawsey is the third best .
Europe suffers from poor advertising of its eating contests and bad economy . MLE went to Britain in 2023 , but it was a one off as they didn’t return .

Oh come on…he is Randy’s side kick. He’s a great upstanding guy who wouldn’t cheat or grift.

Watching Radim eat in his videos is like watching paint dry. DUH! Talk about no video presence. No wonder he does all these challenges and never posts videos. Wait, that’s work ethic. Never mind.

@10:41 AM– Radim, are you suggesting that we should actually be “thanking you” for cheating because it gave us a topic to discuss on eatfeats? Wow–that certainly an interesting way to view this situation. The fact that you are bold enough to comment, yet not admit your clear cheating is crazy.

10:41 – Just showing his true integrity? Or lack of it. He’s a grifter and a user. But, hey, Randy will probably stick up for his “buddy”. Wait, Randy seems to demonstrate he is a piss poor judgement of character.

8:12am Yeah, you should thank me or you’d just be bored lol. I’m already thinking about how to “cheat” in this Saturday’s pulled pork slider contest to keep you entertained haha

Yeah Radim well you aren’t helping your case by posting like this with this attitude. Just shows you are a phony in reality and confirms it. Who else are planning to grift off and use them for lodging, etc. while you are in the US again? What do you exactly do btw? Do you grift back in your home country too and live in your parents basement too?

Wouldn’t be surprised if the MC at the pork slide contest pulls you aside to have a word with you before the eating begins, Rod…
CE is a small world, you’re gonna be hard-pressed to find new friends acting like you’re the shit / rules don’t apply to you.
Now, in your native tongue:
Nebylo by mi divné, kdyby si vás moderátor sout?že v pork slide odtáhl stranou, aby si s vámi promluvil, než za?nete jíst.
Sout?žní jedení je malý sv?t, takže budete mít problém najít si nové p?átele, když se budete chovat, jako by se na vás pravidla nevztahovala.

Radim shows his true colors again. Goes to a Jack Browns in Memphis with a record in 2025 of 9 burgers and does a dick move and basically removes the challenge for any normal people who might want to try and get free burgers except a pro eater by doing 30. Dick move. But you have to feed your ego dude? Classy move. You could have represented eating with class and just done one more. There is half a year left. I encourage any pro eater in the area to go beat the 30.
2:50 – quit showing your IQ.
Exactly 9:35.

Don’t forget the pizza challenge he did less than 24 hours before todays contest. And he had to add on dessert to it, because he was “so hungry”. I’m sure he didn’t pay the restaurant for the 2 cannolis and 2 pieces of cake that he ate after his pizza, all of which he threw up within an hour afterwards.
It’s one thing to do a challenge, collect your cash prize, and be on your merry way. But when you start adding in more food that you know your just gonna puke up, and not pay for that food, that is what we in America like to call “being an asshole”

Surprising Randy is still so close to Radim despite his blatant reliance on puking post contest/challenge.

9:04 – Radim – Nailed it and on point.
1:40 – Randy is a poor judge of character or is blinded by his own ambitions or what he needs??? Or he is just stupid with character judgement as the simple explanation.
