How did Lesley go from 6 pounds of ribs to just 3 pounds of pie? I don’t think she could eat 6 pounds of anything if her life depended on it.

7:00: There’s more to how much you can eat than just weight. You have to consider the volume, surface area, type of food, etc.

Great question Anonymous! She was talking about it on Periscope post contest.
She felt she misjudged the effort/time it would take to get pie down compared to ribs. By the time she realized, she was stuck with a ton of pie in her mouth to get through. Bottom line – she was never able to get into that all important rhythm and had an off day.
Based on the fact that she did get 6+ lbs of ribs down, I think she could eat 6 lbs of something if her life depended on it. However, maybe I am misunderstanding your sentiment.

FBTSPod, thank you for clearing this up. Most novices think that it takes little time to realize that their strategy is not working. I’ll say that most likely, she spent 2 minutes chewing a mouth full of food (most novices take ~3-4 minutes, so a feat on it’s own!), and then after that spent 6 minutes eating 3 more lbs which makes sense considering she ate 6 in 12 minutes.

FTBSPod, that must be it. Makes perfect sense (to an idiot).

Can’t wait to hear what her excuse will be next time. She can’t even beat Carlene.

FBTS the girl never ate 6lbs of rib meat off the bone. Next year if she has the audacity to show up she won’t even break 3 pounds. Lesley knows it and anyone who knows anything about competitive eating knows it. Take that to the bank. Mark my words!

Hey Rich. I don’t know what to say, other than I asked Sam multiple times, both before and after I was handed the envelope, if he was absolutely certain it was my tray (yes) and if the weight was true (yes, weighed three times.) in all sincerity, as novice speaking to seasoned veteran, I don’t know what else I can say or do in that situation. To pose a solution, I would suggest a scorecard for each event, like the one we had in gyoza, so the eater can see where everything, and make the process more transparent.
As for me, it’s my first lap around the circuit. I’m going to fall flat on my face way more than I’m going to succeed. I don’t expect any of this to change your mind about things, but as we’re both on the west coast, with many more contests ahead, we’ll be running into each other a lot. You and Carlene have both been kind to me on the road so far, and I’d really like to put this behind us.
Yup I called it! said

Didn’t Steve & Rich annihilate Lesley in Gyoza, hell I think even Mary Bowers beat her. Seems fishy that someone with a ten or less hot dog capacity could come along and eat 6 pounds of anything, much less a debris food against two great eaters. Sick how this injustice will go unpunished but you will all see how badly Lesley gets destroyed at her next event where we all hope the totals are calculated correctly.

Oh hi Pablo. Pretty good day. Just had some pie, but then I found out I’m not black 🙁 How was your day?

Hey Steve,
My day was great. You are awesome, whether you’re black or not.
Rich said

Lesley, I want to make it very clear that I don’t blame you for what happened at Nugget ribs. That was the most incompetently handled MLE contest I have ever been a part of and I put full blame on the Nugget officials who were responsible for the weighing process.

Meh, it was alright. Just got home and rested. I might go to the gym tomorrow. But I’m not sure yet. My back has been hurting so bad. No idea why. Maybe its all the sitting I do. Anyways, what you got planned this week?
Rich said
October 5, 2015 @ 1:19 pm
If handled properly, they would have written down all pertinent numbers for each eater (with another official verifying each step along the way checking for errors). I agree with you; let’s leave this in the past.

Pablo said

You’re welcome Molly 🙂
Steve: me too. Yeah not much going on here with me either. Have you ever been to Costco? They have good food there and good sale prices on meat. You should check it out. Oh, I almost forgot something important to tell you, what’s your favorite pizza topping?

To Rich: You must be crazy to think that a MLE run contest could be anything but perfect. They are more accurate than a Swiss watch.

Steve “Black Russian” Hendry shares his card with all! Costco is a beautiful place. Legend has it, their brand of liquors are all top-shelf quality.

That’s why he probably broke up with Miki. Because she couldn’t measure up to himself.
