CENews article on Philly video
An article about the Philadelphia Nathan’s qualifier video on MLE appears CompetitveEatingNews.com. Apparently IFOCE is standing by its original results:
Nonetheless, several viewers have reported watched the video and claimed that it shows that Shoudt’s hot dogs were closely counted and that, to support claims of a mis-count, Shoudt would have had to eat five additional hot dogs during one of the 10-second periods when the camera pans away. These viewers claim that it is possible to follow Bob’s consumption throughout the contest, if one allows for the missed moments when the camera pans away.
They also claim that the video reveals the MLE host repeatedly alerting the Nathan’s judge to the multiple plate issue and conscientiously following the count.
