    Looks like the top guns are qualifying early this year

    Seeing Matt’s name up there twice prompted this question: Can a person who has already qualified eat again (at another qualifier) to try to eat a larger number of HDBs—-to get closer to the center of the table?

    I’m 95% sure the answer is a definitive “No,” but I want to clear up the remaining 5% uncertainty I have.

    Thanks!

    Tim Janus is not going to Savannah. Why would Davekos and Collins waste their time money. More importantly, where is Seiken going to for his 2nd qualifer? I hear he’s shooting for 12.

    4:05 – no way. Lesco’s a veteran and is due to hit 30+ this year. No woman’s done that in her first year.

    You haven’t seen sudo then. She is going to shock everyone. Count on

    If Juliet does Las Vegas, wouldn’t the wildcard go there?

    If Juliet goes to Vegas Juliet would be the wild card so she will go somewhere else.

    Why would Juliet go to Vegas when she has a choice of an abundance of other qualifiers that she can easily coast uncontested

    Has anyone seen LA Beast latest video? Kitchen in his new pad is 1/4 size of his parents kitchen and looks old. They must be saying if he wants to kill himself he can do anything he wants as long as its not in our house.

    Rhonda, once you win, you’re done. No more qualifiers. Spots are too precious.

    I am sure Seiken will redeem himself with hot dogs in a better climate better tasting suited for the dogs. I estimate between 15-17. If he puts up the same number as was the case in Coney, then without question he sucks

    The big question is who is Gavonne going to insult at the Citifield qualifier.? What fun is is without Seiken there?

    Seiken can eat 15-17 cocktail franks, but HDB… no chance. He has a moderate capacity but no drive to push himself when the wall approaches, like a true competitive eater.

    I think Seiken is just playing possum, just toying.

    Just like he was toying in the escarole contest when Kevin Lipsetz destroyed him. Seiken practically gave up after the first 2 mintues.

    Only someone that lives in the extreme past would remember something as insignifigent as escarole contest. Why even bring it up?

    Wasnt Krazy Kevin the guy that made it to the Nathans finals like 8 times but only becayse he needed to eat 10 or 11 to get in ?

    Beautiful Brian Seiken’s record of 2.7 pounds of kosher dill vinegar pickles in only six minutes is one of the greatest competitive eating moments and upsets of all time. To this day I just can’t believe it, though I know it happened. He was on fire that day!!!

    By today’s standards 2.7 lbs of pickles is what the average casual diner eats with his pastrami sandwich at the Carnigie deli.

    Anonymous @ 5:37 pm That’s great and all but what has he done for the IFOCE lately? Oh yeah 11 HDB’s in 10 minutes. Time to stop living in the past because I’m sure everyone who was at the table that day has moved on.

    Seikens awesomenes will again be shown when the humidity, temperature, and wind speed is to his liking

    Don’t even bother 214. The haters will come back with “that was years ago” “Cookie had an off day” . With hot dogs or any other contest Seiken isnt allowed a bad day but everyone else is
