Wow Tim Janus beat has now topped the number 2 eater in the world the last two contests. Kobayashi wouldn’t have stood a chance with these icons. Good for him he left the I.F.O.C.E.

Yeah, I didn’t figure that out until after I posted. I had used ‘IFOCE’ as a search term instead of MLE, so yours was the only one that showed up.

Wrecking Ball owes me a T-shirt since I predicted the top 3 finishers in his facebook contest.I haven’t been this excited since I lost my virginity(last week)!!!

Wow, a close one. You don’t see a three way photo finish like that too often. Have there been any other contests in which the top three finishers were closer?

A SOURCE HAS STATED THAT THE WRECKING BALL WAS ONLY ABLE TO PUT 2 BALLS IN HIS MOUTH THEN PUKED. SO DOES THAT MEAN HES ONLY GOING TO FIT 1 PICKLE IN HIS MOUTH?

I still feel bad about Kobayashi! He would have mopped the entire floor of eaters today, had he been in this contest.. Anyone who would disagree is just stupid..

Even Pete would have slaughtered this field. If Joey ever leaves IFOCE there will be nothing left but top amateurs.

To Anonymous August 28, 2010 @ 8:34 pm : Your source is definatly wrong. Wrecking Ball ate over 1 LB. and did not puke at all. In my opinion, that is pretty good for the first time and for a beginer in the competitions. As for picles, we will just have to wait and see how he does.

Just want to say thank you to all the eaters who were at the RMO contest in Black Hawk. It was a great contest and a great time. The kids were really excited to meet everyone & you were all so cool to take pics and sign autographs for them.
We took a ton of pics, not professional, but still and nice collection. I know how hard it can be to get pics of the contests so we kind of went crazy. 🙂 Feel free to tag, copy, use any of them. We took them for you. 🙂
I will edit the video and post a link once it’s up.
(I also have more pics – so if anyone wants to see them all – just let me know.)

RockiesGirl: thank you for taking all of those pictures. It looks like it was a lot of fun. I was so worried that I wouldn’t be able to see any pictures.

Uggh…that doesn’t sound like the most appetizing food. You guys are seriously dedicated to muscle through that stuff. Wow! I can’t believe how close the results were too.

This has to be one of the most “interesting” contest foods ever used. I don’t know if you’d wanna brag about participating or winning this one.
A friend of mine once joked that the World Bull Testicle Championship would be settled by a single unit because the food is so repulsive, but I think he was dead wrong. Eaters are too competitive to let anything slide.

cant take full credit for the necklace, joe larue’s idea, but everyone seemed to love it. For those not there, do you know the “truck nuts” that they sell for the hitches for trucks? well they make smaller ones for motorcycles and i used it as a charm on a gold chain. as for the cards; it was just something i put together that i thought would be funny for the other eaters and maybe would “syke” them out a bit… the front of the card said: “its an honor sharing the stage with you” and then the inside top: “but your nuts to do this” with a large close up shot of a bulls testicles! they also were a big hit! i have a few extra cards that i will be giving away from my facebook “fan page” to some members as well as mailinng jo out a shirt for winning the contest but sadly the gold balls are staying with me.

You guys are very welcome for the pics. I uploaded all of them that my daughter and I took, so once again, feel free to visit my Facebook albums & grab any you want. They are not professional, but the document the event well. 🙂
Okay, the video is up:

There is approx 2/3 intros and the rest is the contest. Sorry if I didn’t get your intro. I brought the wrong memory card and so I didn’t get everyone. :/ I did try to get everyone eating though. 🙂
It was a great afternoon. Thanks again to everyone who came out for it. I have been proudly wearing my RMO t-shirt around town today, getting several funny looks while doing so. 😉

I like to see more equitable purse distributions like that, whereby eaters who don’t win, but finish with respectable placings, can go home with a greater reward than just pride in accomplishment.
