Pat Bertoletti wins Isle of Capri cupcakes, contest cut short
update Apr 20 Cardboard Shell has uploaded a video of the entire contest. Tim Brown competes throughout the contest and does not appear to have been disqualified, it is not clear why no result was announced for him.
update Apr 16 WCFCourier has an article saying #2-#5 all received $1K making the payouts ($1500/$1000/$1000/$1000/$1000). The original payouts were $1500/$1250/$1000/$750/$500. If runner-ups Tim Janus & Aaron Osthoff split the original 2nd and 3rd place amounts after tying, they would have received $1125 each.
update Apr 15 WCFCourier has a contest video. Tim “Gravy” Brown competed, but did not have a result announced. Did he DQ?
7:14 KGAN has a short article about the celebrity contest.
5:39 Kevin “LA Beast” has posted a picture of the cupcakes used in the contest.
4:56 8 people beat Tim Janus’ winning total of 42 last year including (Kevin “LA Beast” Maria “Edible” (48) and “Cardboard Shell” (48)) despite the contest terminating after about 6 minutes due to a lack of cupcakes. This might be the first time an IFOCE record has almost been doubled since 2001 Nathan’s. Aaron Osthoff almost doubled his 2011 amount of 35.5 cupcakes. If the contest was the planned 8 minutes, Bertoletti probably would have doubled the 2011 winning total Tim Brown was reportedly present, but his result was not announced.

Congrats to Aaron for tieing with X!!!!
Also, great showing to Badlands for beating BOB + LABeast tieing. Lots of unexpected numbers here, except for pats dominence.
And Anon 4:59, get some glasses, it’s easy to count 9, the 5th plate from the bottem is barely showing, but there.

Why do so many people try to be armchair quarterbacks? Unless you were there you do not know what the hell went on!

Its easier to have totals close in numbers when the contest is short. X would totally have lengthened his lead over Aaron in final minutes clearing 2nd.

The fact that LA beast tied the notorious shoudt proves that he is a force to be reckoned with in the future

I heard that A train and Eater X decided to share their winnings with the top 5 because they ran out of cupcakes. What a wonderful kind gesture that is. Do you think Sonya or Joey would even think of doing the same? I don’t think so. Would not even cross their mind. And what about Pat? Kind of makes it look bad when the second place finishers share the wealth and the actual winner does not

@ 9:00am well if you heard it, it must be true, cause anonymous sources are so trustworthy, now that I’m through being a smartass, Eater X has made gestures like that before to help eaters who may have traveled long distances to eat and whatnot, he is a classy guy and I’m guessing so is A train, most eaters give back in some way, eating for charity events for example.

That’s funny that they RAN OUT of the food! Can’t blame the sponsors and organizers though. They only had last year’s totals to use as a benchmark and had no way of predicting that everyone would DOUBLE last year’s totals.
Wonder why the numbers went way up? Had to be slightly different cupcakes than last year? That’s the only explanation. The natural inflation of eater skill and capacity doesn’t normally cause a 100 percent increase in totals.

If the Dodgers and Giants ran out of baseballs the fans, players, managers, etc would be livid. It would be a joke. But that sort of thing is another reason people laugh at comp. eating and comp. eaters. It’s expected. No one really takes it serious. Ha. Ha.
