    which explains why he wasnt part of the cw 11 taping that morning. If you dont see Janus or legs as part of a Hoff show and they are replaced by other eaters, it means they had bigger and better plans for them that same day

    Glad to see Eater X keep his food down. Just watched the turkey bowl from Las Vegas and as Crazy Legs says, Elvis has left the building.

    Watch Joey Chestnut and even before 4 minutes is up he had a multiple reversal of fortune. And as usaual he got away with it. The fix was in. Joey DQ’ed. The cameras zoomed in and showed it but like the hot dog contest, the Commissioner turned his back on another blatant DQ.

    CE is getting more like Pro-Wrestling everytime. Even when you lose you win, if the promoter says so.

    I don’t think Joey had a complete reversal. There was some liquid that hit the table, but it didn’t appear as though any solid turkey did.

    The proof is in the pudding or should we say Joeys hands.He gets away with this in almost every contest,but as allways it is overlooked. WHY?

    I just replayed the show in slow motion. At one point, a solid piece of turkey clearly passes Joey’s hands and travels toward the table. Scandalous.

    Janus ate a whole Thanksgiving meal? I normally only eat a slice of turkey and then have to stop.

    Hangman, that was an intense moment. Several pieces of meat were lodged in my esophagus and my muscles were not cooperating. You can see me try to drink water, but the meat was lodged so tightly the water could not even get through. I had to decide if I was going to try to continue to work the food down and risk a choking disaster or work the food up so that I could swallow it with liquid. For me, it was not a choice. It is not rare for me to work the food back into my mouth so that I can safely swallow it (sometimes I bite off more than I can swallow).

    During this incident I lost control. I did not know how bad it was until I saw the video today. I believe it is up to the judges to make the call. If Charles had walked up to me and told me step away from the table, I would have done it.

    What can I say??.. I am happy I was not DQed and I was able to get my act together for the ham contest.

    Didn’t most everybody eat an entire Thanksgiving meal? I kinda thought that was the purpose with the holiday…..

    I thought it was exactly what Joey just described. I have had large chunks get caught in my throat, and couldn’t swallow it, even though I was still able to breath. The only thing I could do is bring it back up and re-chew it. As we saw last night, it is hard to determine the difference between the two, maybe they should be treated the same way.

    I was in the front row right up against the stage with the photographers and I never saw this at all so it was alittle surprising to see it on camera. It must have been when everyone was watching Koby, wondering if he would continue to eat.

    Good job by Toro in the cranberry sauce. I didnt get to watch the show but i am impressed by these results. My thanksgiving was horrible. The family thanksgiving was ok but for some reason they decided to buy a ready made turkey from food emporium. Not much taste. For the day after i made my own butterball turkey. I am a pretty good cook and i love eating my home cooked food especially on turkey day but this time i bombed out. Turkey was rubbery and the gravy was thick but horrible tasting. I think its due to the fact i used flour that was over a year old or the fact that i continued cooking the turkey this morning after leaving it in the oven overnight. I thought i got a steal at 89cents a lb for a 11lb butterball turkey but it tasted like shit. Always go with empire kosher turkeys . Spend a little more but you get what you pay for. The best part of the meal was the stove top stuffing from the box.

    Who cares about your dinner-What’s next, a blow-by-blow description of your last bowel movement after dinner? Toro stunk in all events, he was lucky to have someone who stuffed their mouth too much so he wouldn’t be last in every event…living close or far away, it was a sham he was there….even you could have beaten him. Take your verbal garbage and throw it in the street, so someone will pay attention to you while you get arrested

    “Bored by Brian” i can give you a blow by blow of my bowel movement if you care to listen. Joey described his in detail on O&A . I think i can be just as descriptive. Toro did not stink in all events. I take offense to any negative remarks about Toro . You are not a nice person!
