Ah the noctural asking the questions though I also wonder why the narrow window. Has anyone said that they feel sorry for Kobayashi? He certainly doesn’t feel sorry for himself judging by his life in the US to date. He is thriving as an independent eater. The disparity between what Joey earns and the next eaters in line is enormous if you are going only by money earned. Having a chart showing independents and organizations is always interesting. Perhaps the point is exactly that. What happened in terms of $$ during the Nathans contest which is the premiere event in MLE. Look at what the ladies earned this year with their new division.

The independent eaters had to eat several times during that week. That’s a lot of work, a lot of travel, and a lot of stress on the body.

I don’t the mean the exact dates specifically. I just mean why one week? It’s one week. It doesn’t really tell you much about the pros and cons of being independent or with MLE.
