Thanks for the full write up, OJ! We are thrilled to have another fan vote where people will inevitably get mad at us over the results.

Notice how they keep extreme distance from the independent side. Gotta wonder who those two are shacking up with.

To nominate anyone for any kind of award for eating 4 hot dogs is beyond ludicrous. It shows the sorry state of this non-sport that attracts losers & misfits.

12:05 its because eating is not a sport It’s a joke and these guys are too highly educated to devote their energy and time for this nonsense ; The only two who are making money on this are the Shea brothers . Some people just don’t get it

To all the haters, Either get out there and compete or fade away. You know what worse than a bad competitive eater? Someone who spends their spare time criticizing eaters.
