    Too bad the US had eaters from the bush league representing us. With exception to Molly the rest of the eaters from that organizaton are amateurs at best.

    From what I could translate their were a total of 12 separate eating contests. Molly won three of them, Japanese eaters won four of them. Is that correct? Can anyone who knows Japanese better than I do say anything more?

    LOL sour grapes, huh Jelly.Josh? It was put together by a Japanese network. They didn’t want to deal with MLEs megalomaniac BS.

    Tom Gilbert is a very nice down to earth gentleman. Stephanie is very over protective of him

    @10:14 shows how smart they are. They didn’t want to deal with getting destroyed.

    @8:38 – shows how smart you are. Japan lost. Tough to accept that? You, sir, are an idiot. Looks like you’ve proven that when you “assume” sometimes you only make an ass out of yourself.

    @12:01 I didn’t say they didn’t lose. I said they didn’t want to get destroyed. Learn to think before you speak.

    @2:46 It doesn’t matter what you did or didn’t say. You’re still an ass.

    Molly did better than anyone in MLE would have done other than Joey Chestnut. Tom and Dave did better than anyone outside of the top five. Jam.Josh is completely wrong when he says they were bush league and that MLE could have done any better

    Stephanie Torres was a big hype promoted by Subich and El Turdo 23 hot dogs with MLE was about all she could muster. Her eating challenges with pizza were never shown from beginning to end Most of what we were used to viewing was either a photo or video of a clean pizza tray with a few crumbs at the end of a challenge with the intention of making us believe she actually finished the challenge Big joke

    I hear that Will Millender competed in a corn contest at the Meadowlands and got his ass kicked by a bunch of amateurs

    i pay about as much attention to this as cricket contest in Bulgaria Who cares? Poker DFS and sports betting is where its at . Watching a bunch of IFOCE secessionists trying to prove something to George Shea is not worth my time
