Absolute crock of s..t…I know there are 30 eaters I can out eat.Just dont have the money to travel. The top ten will always compete against each other in the big shows, so whats left for the bottom feeders? Its called INDEPENDENT

Whoooohoooo quite excited & pleasantly surprised!! Congrats to all the risers & new MLE-ers, nicely done. To those leaving, best of luck in future eating endeavors & for those who were lowered, this is just an challenge to step up the game & claim that higher ranking again! 🙂

Isn’t great to have your name in the bottom 30? Chances of getting into a major contest are slim and non. Why dont MLE do something for the bottom feeders?

Some of those guys ranked in the high 40’s can whip ass on many in the low and high 30’s

As a fan I can only hope that this new ranking will run its course in terms of comments, the silliness which goes on here gets stale very fast and is pretty much an insider bunch of nonsense in my view. Why don’t “you guys and gals” start your own forum and blast to your heart’s content and keep this place more what it really should be I do not understand. But that’s democracy for you, I guess.
There is almost always no real joking about these things, just tearing each other down and infighting, pointing fingers, making accusations, etc. By this time everyone should know that MLE will do what it does. If you have problems take it up with them. If you have problems with each other, take them up privately or create a forum where you are free to monitor it yourselves. Otherwise, this crap just drives away the very people you want and need, fans, sponsors, publicity, just about anything and everything which could benefit all eaters no matter which organization or independent. Talk about divide and conquer? No, you are just doing damage to yourselves as individuals and within your own organizations.

I think Seiken wanted to create such a forum 1117 but with assholes like Gavonne who live for this stuff making death threats and chanting hile hitler , everyone will be turned away

If women are rated with the men , then let them eat with the men…There are three women that are rated now that couldn’t beat any of the bottom feeder. But the look good..They get it both ways..As a bottom feeder I would like to compete in the womens division………Hey there is none

Seiken blames everything on Gavonne, and Seiken is hardly the poster child for competitive eating. He’s a child all right, Gavonne shows no respect whatsoever but then usually Seiken does not either. What is worse with Seiken is that he puts his name on as many threads as possible to draw attention to himself instead of working on his own blog. Seiken is so transparent in posting about himself as if he is someone else that it is ridiculous. 2:32 pm, it is very easy to monitor comments if one person is monitoring them and remove them. There ARE things called community standards, your comment does not wash.

For the record I never chanted Heil Hitler, I don’t live for this crap like Seiken, & there is no one here who deserves respect. As for the rankings, it is not based on contests or anything scientific. Whoever sucks the Shea’s cock the most gets rated the highest, plain & simple. Also, if u appear in a MLE contest & u don’t get an appearance fee u r a moron & u don’t deserve respect or anything. Death threats? C’mon, douche bag, that’s the best lie u can come up with? 2013 is probably going to be the last year MLE is in business so get it while u can, kiddies.

All i have to say is this . Once my pc is up the backstabbing phonies will be mentioned by name. Save yourself the embarrassement and reveal yourself now
Seiken is and always has been ALL talk and no action. Why he is even ranked at all is the real question? Is it out of pity? He often claims he will do things like the post he made on 11/1 above, didn’t he claim to have something “bigger than Singapore” in the works a while back, sadly he appears to simply be a pathological liar along with self esteem issues.
He has no shame, no fame, no game… and comes off very lame.
Just for the record ths is not Seiken
