Just like Toojays, with a $10,000 purse on the line, no need to register if you’re not in the top 20.

It would look bad to the local media if one of their own didn’t make it into the contest. Don’t expect to win any money, though, Sean.

If I did these contests only to win money I would have quit a long time ago. I know the popular thought on this site is I am an idiot who thinks he is the greatest competitive eater of all time, but the truth is I know my place in CE. I think I have tried time and time again to bring this point across but unfortunatly I have been very unsucessful obviously. I DON’T do these contests to make money, I do them to have fun and meet awesome people. I truely enjoy being up there and seeing what my own personal limits are. I will enjoy having my friends and family at the Too Jays event wearing my shirt and cheering for me, that is why I entered the contest not because I thought I had a chance of beating Joey Chestnut.

Wrecking Ball, try not to be dispirited by the idiots who post hateful comments. It is they who are the idiots, definitely not you. Popular thought on this site no, it is just that most who support you fully get tired of responding to idiocy. Most eaters, including even those in the top 20 plus in MLE do not, DO NOT compete for the money. Each and every competitor, no matter whether or not they are part of an organization or independent, has a personal and unique reason for competing. I hope that you understand why many of those eaters either do not comment on this website or do so under an anonymous name. There are sometimes good reasons to be anonymous or have a nickname. It isn’t always about growing a set. Always glad to have your comments here and not anonymously. Jealousy drives haters over and over again. Compete, give it your all, enjoy, and get the haters out of your head when you do.

@ Wrecking ball you got it buddy. Few have a shot at chestnut but the CE community is full of awesome people and eating fast is a blast. IFOCE puts on great events for great people. To “anonymous” folks out there that talk all the smack, show your self at the table, don’t just type your shit talk. PUT UP OR SHUT UP!
