    How wonderful can a sponsor be if you had to pay for the hotel room ?

    That’s true. They are already making money hands over fist. The very least they can do is give you a night’s lodging. Cheap rat bastards!

    No troublemaking comments from sour grapes can cancel out LM’s enthusiasm.

    Larell is an awesome cheerleader, She would be an even more awesome cheerleader if she ROSE up in future contests to point out some of the suspect crap that goes on at the table from time to time

    Where was Eater X ? I guess he thought it would be in his best interests not to show up just in case Seiken wanted to shake his hand

    CE and contests are far from perfect. Why should Larell be a one person tattletale. Every contest, every sponsor, the weather, who shows up, who is the MC, they all play a part. Pick and choose your battles, she rose up when it really counted. If there are problems, be positive, talk things over, vent, gripe, complain together but privately, try to get things improved together. I keep saying this……common sense goes a long way. Everyone has gripes in life and challenges. Do something about them without hate and spite and perhaps good things will come.

    Yeah if i competed right next to her i think i would have also OJ . It was obvious to everyone that Grace made a huge mess at the table and then tried to pass it off that she ate 24? One would have to be pretty lame or a real good buddy of Grace to let that one go by

    Nope no special treatments here for sure. Well you was a fool for paying for it i would have spoken up to someone about it n checked it out to why you was paying for the room n not the other eaters. An as for Larell maria she is one of the most respected ladies in eating contest that i have met. Dont think i wouldnt turn someone in if they was going to get my money in a contest.

    Grace looked as if she was new to the concept of eating. Sample, put down, repeat.

    anony 4:28 why are you asking here. that is just plain dumbo. if you are with MLE take it up with them. you think any contract says you get such and such paid. of course not. some eaters earn their way maybe….I have no idea for sure but, if everyone participating in a contest had a guaranteed room and other things, there would be a much more thorough selection process. you are not entitled to anything. but go ahead and ask, say i understand other eaters got their rooms free, why didn’t i and they will answer if anything here is true. this is not the place to find out “real” true information about things like that. it is all he said she said. eh, never mind, you probably are just yanking someones chain and causing trouble. if not, go where you can get answers. it definitely is not on eatfeats.

    I would have spoken to a manager right there on the spot. You dont wait till after the contest n say hey i want a refund.

    Well that is not very nice . I expected you to side with me or at least feel sorry for me because i got screwed and pay over $100 for a room when others got it free. It should not be that way ok? What does the contract have to do with it stupid.?

    well stupid, since you called me that also, i do not feel sorry for you, why should i? I think you need to check facts first and i have no idea what those facts are. are you in mle, who do you know who had their room paid for, and if you are mle, those are the people to speak with. it doesn’t matter how much money someone makes, mle or isle of capri, you are not entitled to anything, this is not socialism or communism. people here say that sponsors get to choose who comes to compete and that is probably true to a point. probably both mle and the sponsors decide together, it has to depend upon who is available for one thing. maybe isle of capri really likes pat, do you really think that some of the top eaters should not get some perks. you do not have a union, there are no rules except whatever contract you have. if you want to make money you need to find something else to do besides competitive eating. that’s just the way it is, so take your complaint to someone who might be able to respond to you but in my opinion, it is now a done deal. next time you want to compete find out in advance and make your own decision. larellm is correct, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, in my opinion, i think that is all everyone is entitled to, an opinion.

    Well you know what ? As Edith Bunker used to day to Archie “allright for you” I should have got a ree room like everyone else . How dare you imply that someone should choose over someone else . That is favortism . It like colored people have to pay and white peoiple don have to pay. Im not colored but that the same ting. It is not a done deal i will look into this and get my money back

    Did anyone ask about Seiken? Does not seem like anyone gave a rats ass if he sung or not. Someone told me he was there singing the night before and got paid from another venue then went home

    okay Seiken, having your fun slinging mud again, yes, i think it is you, you just cannot stay away. not so clever at it either. right, just say this isn’t seiken, everyone expects it of you. so predictable.

  23. anonymous said

    January 8, 2012 @ 9:50 pm

    Sorry i never heard of Seiken. I am not slinging mud i want my money back . Is that too much to ask?

    January 8, 2012 @ 10:07 pm

    What kind of mud is being slung 941? , ? Lighten up dude grab a sense of humor. What is eatfeats? the holy bible ? Who cannot stay away? Who is Seiken? More importantly who the hell are you?

    This Seiken fellow is only mentioned in comment and not by link? Why is that? Does OJ Rifkin have something against him or is it that he just wants to stay on good terms with his loyal fans so they wont abandon him?

    Link? That is like a dog begging for food! Has Seiken no dignity?

    Seiken is a smart guy. I am sure he does not expect or want a link to his site posted on eatfeats. He burned that bridge long ago wit his constant bashing of this site.

    Well well as usual Seiken manages to screw everyone just because he screwed his own organization by complaining about them and the sponsor and was not invited and now says it was his choice to not go. No BS Sherlock, Seiken is a real addition to the sport NOT> What goes around comes around.

    Well well fuck you how bout that anonymous whimp petrified to leave his real name. When did i ever mention that i wasnt invited? I was NOT invited because i CHOSE not to register Ok? Thats between me the sponsor and MLE and none of your sorry ass anonymous business. Believe what you want to believe . Contrary to popular belief i had nothing to do with those retarded comments from a bunch of idiots looking to instigate shit. Drop dead and eatfeces and post on eatfeces for the rest of your life cause thats about your life sum up in a nutshell

    Im going to be straight up with you little no life pricks. Stop mentioning my name or i will hijack every single thread and get some others to contribute to the hijack. Stop trying to start trouble cause you have no other life but this site . Yeah i said it now do something about it ? Stay out of my biz or OJ will have one hell of job moderating comments

    January 9, 2012 @ 11:41 pm

    OJ Rifkin is a no life asshole that has a very sick disturbed obsession with competitive eating although he never competed to begin with. His little band of parasites that congregate on this site are as sick and disturbed as he is. They will never confront you . Just fuck with you. Think of all the innocent people that his little band of haters have gone up against. Furious Pete, Juliet, Seiken, Dale Boone, Randy Santel, Suzanne Friench , Stephanie Wu, the list goes on. And who might you think is responsible? Obviously the ones that burned britches with Seiken. The ones that Seiken has ripped apart on his website for valid reasons. Maybe a postal worker maybe a face painter maybe a gay man that travels with his dog ? You be the judge .

    Whoa Seiken, that is quite a rant, three in fact. Come on now, soak those britches (sic) in cold water and lighten up. You seem to go way beyond the bounds. Spend your time on your own playground, you may be happier. Lots of people get lauded and trashed, they do not complain the way you do. Seriously, eatfeats is here to stay. We all get to judge, you do not make good judgements when it comes to acting out, that is my opinion.

    Well Hmm maybe if he wasn’t made to be the scapegoat for every problem that occurs on the threads, he might just keep his mouth shut
