Anonymous competitive eaters allege improper Wing Bowl counting

Philly.com has an article about Wing Bowl 21 with the following anonymous quotes:

One longtime competitor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, quipped, “[acclaimed competitive eater] Joey Chestnut comes in from California, wins three Wing Bowls, and his numbers are somewhere around the 160 mark. Then Squibb gets to 200? How the heck do you think Kobayashi ate 337 wings? It’s not because they’re the biggest wings you ever saw in your life. They’ve gotten smaller.”

Still, another anonymous insider suggested the year-over-year increase is a result of the contest being rigged, calling the competition “complete b——-.”

    Dead end job? Does he stand behind a machine all day watching mail pass while fighting with the coworkers he can’t even get along with either? Oh no, that would be the low ranked eater and former pickle champ.

    Seems as tho the first guy is the real man who goes out there and toughens the elements while #2 is a cowardly lazy wuss who badmouths an individual who works for the same damn corporation. Apples and oranges here if you ask me.

    Thi is real good stuff. Maybe M.L.E can put forth a reality series and let all the former and now eaters with no talent just duke it out. Put the women in it too so the men can get back at them. No holds bared. Blood and gore!

    There’s no way those quotes come from Seiken or Janus. Between the two of them, they ate in one Wing Bowl. Neither one of them is an “insider” or “longtime competitor.”
