    Is Ronnie going to delete all of his social media accounts again?

    It appears from the video that Eric Vernston (sp???) and Ryn Sicialano had 18 HDB each, as Geoege Shea deemed them the future of the sport. Or maybe just Ryan had 18. It is hard to tell from the video. 30:53-31:17

    For Boykin to eat 20 they must have been cooked to perfection or smaller than average

    Sorry don’t mean to be rude. That field chosen was for Booker to win. Open your eyes. Lol. Conte was supposed to win his also.But got upset. It’s all about the show after the top 3 eaters. Booker is still a draw cause of his size and Conte is also still a draw..

    Seiken was a draw to due to his skills on the guitar and impersonating Elvis. How come he never had a qualifier set up for him? Such disrespect.

    It would be such disrespect to CE if a qualifier was set up for some one who has done nothing for the sport to win with 11 hotdogs. Besides Seiken was bounced out of MLE at #50. That’s as low as you can get.
