The Japanese are laughing their asses off beating these eaters and for good measure they did it again. BTW i speak several different languages and have some pretty startling news. I viewed the rubber gut and hickman high def shows and some of the comments the Japanese announcers were making about the american eaters were not very nice. They were laughing and mocking them like you would not believe.

I think Japanese humor and American humor might be a bit different.

You have to give it to the Japanese team when it comes to endurance eating. RG, BW, and Ian are no slouches at all, however, speed eating and eating for stamina are two different ball games.
I only wonder if those girls would have made the trip to the Clinton Diner if they had to take on three of the IFOCE’s top 10.

Let them laugh as long as they keep paying for trips, they can laugh their ass off

After / if the IFOCE changes the rankings, you won’t be able to say that any three eaters in the top 10 would do well against Tomoko et al. I think I would choose a couple eaters ranked below # 14. Give me Koby, Sonya (ranked 15 – 17, probably … how ridiculous) and Tim.
