That’s about how close Bertoletti’s totals were to Joey’s at Wingstop in Dallas. IFOCE owes Joey $3,000! Congratulations Joey! Megatoad and Adrian were within striking distance of Bertoletti in this contest, while Joey was way in front. I think there’s a lesson here.

Denmark had an “off” week. MegaTurd is a weirdo loser of some sort. Adrian performed as Adrian does…

Debut Megadtoad on the rankings at #13, let’s see if he continue to goes on challenges and then watch the IFOCE remove him just as fast. Did they make you sign the agreement Matt?

I gotta give it to him the kid can eat. That’s all I have to say for the last thing I want is to degrade my image by posting on this site

The reason that the totals were low is that the eaters took a party bus to the contest and were probably all drunk showing up to the table. Gluttonous eating and alcoholism… MLE sure is stating to look pathetic.

If that eating legend, Brian Seiken, would agree to take Matt under his wing. Matt could really be something special.

Which eater has had the highest debut ever in the IFOCE rankings? Does EatFeats keep track of this?

Koby had to debut as # 1 since his first contest was a mustard belt win.

Bertoletti’s got shit all over his mouth and shirt, unlike Joey and Matt. It is the same with him after every contest. He is the fucking sloppiest eater I’ve ever seen.

Watched the videos. Joey did great. I notice he always looks like he is in tremendous pain when eating. But I guess I’d be too if I ate that much.

Everyone has their own methods of eating, some are sloppy, some are real clean
I know theres alot of assumtion that the messier eaters do it for more counted in their totals, and i’d agree, but not at this contest…
Here they had a judge come and rubber glove up all the remains, including stuff on the floor and in Pat’s case, alot of the liquid on his plate and debris, so if anything, Pat got extra weight taken off from him being alot more messy lol
I try my best to eat clean though =]

Good on you Matt. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, especially in competitive eating.

J/S: Thanks for the clarification. This has been corrected; we may have had one too many beers at the fest today!
And Tom, we were there too, and you really don’t know the half!

What was the prize distribution?? The total purse was $2,750 according to MLE.
So is this correct:
1st – $1,500
2nd – $750
3rd – $500

An unknown eater destroys a top ten ranked eater?! The best part is he hasn’t even trained to get better. Imagine when he does. CRAZY!! 40 to 50 Nathans for sure!!!

Stephanie Wu, there’s on one BB, and that’s BB Seiken. You’ve got to find another shorthand for Bryan Beard. It’s too confusing.

Good job to Legs! Corn is one of his best (if not the best) foods. That’s because he can use his best assets, which are hand speed and biting speed.
Legs also excels at many types of seafood because of his excellent hand speed. But with so many excellent eaters out there he doesn’t get much attention for it.
