    I thought you actually had to win a qualifier to get a spot in the finals. How can additional entrants be added? As mentioned previously, the women’s contest should be dropped due to lack of interest and lack of talent.

    why not give Ed Krachie and Steve terminator Kiner a bye since they were past champions in the 90’s

    How about giving Don Lerman a bye for getting 4th place in the 2001 finals when in actuality he came in 3rd but Charles Hardy refuses to relinquish his 3rd place trophy to this very day

    Katie, you’re new to competitive eating so you can be excused for complimenting her. It’s safe to say you didn’t notice the debris around her area and on the ground and in her water cups. If you had I’m sure you would have a different opinion.

    why not give all eaters who ate 11 hot dogs or less a bye

    How many hot dogs did Bowers eat in her last hot dog competition ? 6? She went from 6 to 12 ?

    Bowers never even ate 10 in reality. She creates a deliberate mess (might have learned the technique from CLC) figuring the mc will only make a small deduction, if any. Eaters like her are a disgrace to competitive eating and be scorned instead of admired.

    I hope those vegan people show up and disrupt the Nathans contest . It would make my whole life worthwhile

    Katie, this site is the cesspool of competitive eating. Nothing but bitter haters trying to cut down everyone to make themselves feel better. Don’t come here. Ever.

    The Shea brothers need to come up with some new live stage entertainment for the 4th of July . That redundant rap crap garbage from Booker is not only played out but you cannot understand a word he’s saying .

    If the Shea brothers want to head in the right direction for 2019 they should hire Gavonne as MC

    Anonymous 3:54 I hear ya! What would you suggest?

    July 2, 2018 @ 1:05 pm

    Maybe some rock music. It just shows the horrible taste in music that the Shea brothers have. . What makes it even more sickening is watching George Shea pathetic impersonation of a rapper .

    A live performance from Odilon Green would rock the house !LOL
