    It looked like a lot of fun, I wish every contest had a mini-documentary like this-it was great! I give it four stars – Lots of eaters talking, and it actually gave some insight as to why and how people do this “sport”, in a three minute timespan. This was a collection of not only eaters, but eaters who typically travel all over, just for the fun and “glory” of competitive eating. I especially like the comment “We’re like celebrities, except no one knows us” – funny!
    This is how the “Science of Speed Eating” could have been, more fun, less fake science. If a filmmaker made a movie like this mini-documentary, competitive eating would be more understood, and I think, loved by the masses. This really showed what a collection of goofballs, maniacs, and just fun-loving people eaters are. Nice work!!

    This is a classic example of how you you can film a documentary without making fun of someone or adding stupidity to make it work. A classice example is eats of strength where they focused on individual eaters and their quest to break existing IFOCE records. Several eaters lifestyles were mocked in those shows without them realizing it. They were just happy that the show revolved around them but if you watch the shows carefully and followed the storyline , they were made to look like a joke at someone else expense

    Over one week ago I left Norfolk and traveled to Myrtle Beach. I was expecting Beautiful Brian to do badly. Congratulations to Brian. He did better than I thought.

    It was nice to meet Brian. As Super Paul says, Brian is not as Beautiful as he thought. Next time someone give Brian a razor. That short white stubble of a beard did not do anything beautiful on him.

    I got pictures of the winner Juliet Lee. How does she breath. Once the contest started I never saw her mouth empty. She was awesome.

    Another awesome person I met and got his autograph was Badlands Booker. I’ve seen this man on television but never in person. He looks mean for his size but when you talk with him, he is very loving. He gives the CE a good name.

    One guy I saw that gave the eaters in Myrtle Beach a bad name was seen by many, cheating. I’ve watched eaters on television and read about them here and I recall discussions about a five second dunking rule. If Juliet, Badlands, Nathan, Dave, Arturo or any other eater tried this in Myrtle Beach, they would be disqualified. If Joey, Pat, Sonya, Eater X, Humble Bob, Crazy Legs or any other eater tried this on television, they too would be disqualified.

    I contacted this person that myself and others around me saw, what we feel is cheating, and asked him to be a man, do the right thing, and admit what he did. He had one week and his silence here on that issue to us is a sign of refusing to be a man, take responsibility and admit to what he did. Since he will not tell the truth here, then I will.

    His name is William Myers. He calls himself Wild Bill. On the IFOCE rankings he is listed at number 31.

    What I saw and those around me saw was, as he was introduced, William Myers brought a large plastic bag to the table. He proceeded to empty the contents at the table as the other eaters were being called out. He was the seventh person introduced and stood four spaces from the end of the table, standing next to a man in a cowboy hat.

    Two of the contents in that plastic bag was a stainless steel thermos and what looked like a aluminum foil pan that you might get in a doggy bag to take your food home in a restaurant. William Myers I saw open his stainless steel thermos and pour a clear liquid, probably water, into this foil pan. Then he put some of the contest food in the pan of water and then put some paper over the pan in what we say was an attempt to hide what he was doing.

    Mrs. Hangman was correct when she said someone was using a bowl at this contest.

    I’m not a competitive eater. All those eaters I met in Myrtle Beach could eat more than me any time.

    Congratulations to Juliet Lee on winning the event in Myrtle Beach. I told you I will be in Norfolk to cheer you on at the Nathan’s contest in June.

    I do not say much on this website so this time I’ll stand down with this closing. William Myers should change the rankings and give himself a disqualification for soaking his food, not for 5 seconds, but for over 5 minutes. that is cheating and he knows it. If William Myers refuses to be a man and admit he cheated, then the IFOCE should remove William Myers from their rankings until he does the right thing.

    What does soaking do to help you eat some may ask. Put a hot dog bun in water for 5 minutes. What you have left is a pile a dissolved mush. Try it, I did.

    Ok, Anonymous ass. Yes, I did have a thermos. Yes, I did have an aluminum pan. Yes, I did pour water from the thermos into the aluminum pan. All this is in the three minute documentary, if you look close.

    HOWEVER;

    At no time BEFORE the contest did I put ANY food into the aluminum pan. AFTER the contest began, I moved the Italian ices from the pizza tray into the water in the pan. I then proceeded to eat the nachos (COMPLETELY), eat the chicken wings (CLEANLY), eat the hot dogs, dunking them into one of the CUPS I brought along, finishing the hot dogs, and then started on my pizzas, dunking the slices into one of my CUPS. AFTER the contest was called, I drank one of the ices.

    My results stand.

    YOU want to man up, contact me for real. I monitor my e-mail. Call me a liar to my face, you steaming sack of excrement. Put a name to your bullshit.

    Bill i think i know who this asshole is. He was standing on the sidelines talking to some of the guys in the contest. Looked like a dick about 5’8 stocky and seemed like someone that has no life similar to Luther I dont think he competes he just watches and finds negative instead of positive. .Its a shame he does not have the balls to tell us his real name. Anyone that posts as anonymous is a real low life coward.

    Hey Anonymous,

    It seems that you are everwhere. And everywhere you are someone has cheated. It’s funny how I have competed in over 20 contest in the last two years, and have seen anyone come close to cheating or trying to get an unfair advantage. You will probably be the one in a couple of weeks who will accuse eaters of cheating a Nathan’s Qalifiers, because you were there. But remember there are going to be days where there are two and three contest on the same day. So if you are at all these contest, please let everyone know how you travel so fast, we would all like to travel around the country that fast. If you are in Norfolk on June 7, please come shake my hand. I won’t be hard to find, I will be in all the tie dye.

    Judging from watching Juliet on the documentary, the water ice was already melted before the end of the contest, but the warming tray is still a smart and innovative idea. Hangman’s umbrella hat is another one. I gotta get me one of those for the summer.

    Anon, if you could see close enough what was going on with Bill, why couldn’t you say what he was putting into the tray? What food would he benefit from soaking 5 minutes? Thanks for pointing out that a bun in water gets mushy. I didn’t know that already. What happens when it is soaking for 5 minutes? The judges would be able to see the water is full of debris and disqualify him if it was true.

    What is really amazing is the fact that most of these anonymous assholes that make negative remarks such as cheating or even go as far as personal attacks are usually not very happy with their own life. People such as Joe Menchetti and Ed Jarvis for example that have belittled people behind their back with personal attacks in the past should take a real close look in the mirror before they pass judgement on others. I am not afraid to mention names of past eaters that have insulted others . Of course someone like a Joe Menchetti will deny that he ever insulted anyone when negative comments about other eaters were mentioned on several occasions on his website . It’s ok to have a sense of humor but when the attacks are meant to hurt one another then i fail to see the humor in it. Everyone is sensitive. People will tell you “Ahh you can say anything you want about me i dont care” Thats bullshit ! Noone likes to be made fun of . Its a violation of one’s civil rights.Notice how the inshape eaters dont have to resort to that type of nonsense. It is usually the fat ones that feel that need of insecurity coming on that resort to those type of tactics I will not reveal my identity but i will say this. If anyone no matter who you are dares to insult me to my face at a contest or whenever i will knock them out no questions asked and then see how funny it is when your ass is lying on the ground face first. Ha!

    [Note that this “William Myers” says that he is not the eater “Wild” Bill Myers – ojrifkin ]

    Looking at this video I can see why IFOCE/MLE has not posted the results in over one week. I’m not afraid to give my name. It is William Myers. Not the eater. At 8 seconds in the video we see Nathan Biller stuffing his three hot dogs into three glasses of water. At 16 seconds there is an up close shot of the three hot dogs stuffed in the glasses of water while Nathan stuffs nachos in his mouth. 50 seconds into the video William Myers pouring water into a metal pan. 2 minutes 15 seconds Juliet Lee is pouring her Italian Icee all down her front just before she is declared the winner. Badlands must be really mad and with good reason. Next to him on one side Juliet pouring the Italian Ice down her front instead of drinking it while on the other side Nathan has soaked his hot dogs at least two minutes before he ate them. This video shows that Juliet Lee should not have first place and Nathan Biller should not have third place. Badlands Booker won and that is why IFOCE/MLE has yet to post the results. Thanks Eat Feats for the video link. I was not there to see this in person. The video told the world the truth, not the rankings posted here.

    Other eaters openly discussed letting their hot dogs “soak” while they were talking after the contest – the eaters involved didn’t win anything, or influence the top three results. True, in Nathan’s this would not be allowed, but who cares in this competition?
    It is sad that some eaters did these “tricks” to finish sixth, ninth, whatever they “allegedly” finished, or told Wild Bill they ate different amounts than appeared on their plates. It won’t happen this summer, or fall in the Krystal competitions. But again, so what – The Critic is right, this this way too much talk about not too much.
    Juliet beat the heck out of everyone, even Badlands. People stopped after that-started again, or just gave up. It looked like a good time-why all the whining-start praticing for Nathan’s, and get on with your lifes!

    1 night stay in hotel…$110
    sack of Krystals afterwords…about $10.00
    Competing against Badlands Booker and Juliet Lee…priceless
    dunking dogs for longer than five seconds…shameless
    bringing a bowl of water you know is illegal in most contests…ridiculous and outrageous
    Claiming it’s ok because you left no debris….shameful
    Don’t pull that soaking bull again, all of you who did it!
    Was it worth fifth through 10th place to get a soaked bucketful of criticism, and what should be a suspension?
    What seemed like a great day of fun, and competition….ruined
    Take your buckets and fill them with sand next time…that’s what the beach is there for.

    This is total fuckin bullshit. I knew Badlands had to have won the contest but he is too much of a gentleman to make an issue over it. Let the truth be told. If Juliet Lee had any ounce of decency she would do the right thing and give the trophy and the money to Badlands Booker . For the record Nathan Biller abides by the rules and if he is not deserved of third place it wasnt intentional on his end.

    April 29, 2008 @ 7:50 am

    dunking for a few seconds is ok for food, soaking is for tough stains and clothes only – you guys that soaked your food-you know better-and expect to be disqualified if you do that during hot dog season-this explains a lot of the strange results from the beach. pans, bowls, wading pools, why didn’t you dudes just soak the food in the ocean? But, Hangman, ease up, you were still a solid last place. And everyone else, remember it was still a good time, move on!

  26. Rhonda Evans said

    April 29, 2008 @ 9:01 am

    That’s why Krystal numbers are so high for some eaters. Many have learned how to legally drown the mini-“bunned burger” that goes into the liquid, which is transformed into a drinkable thin slice of water-logged beef which needs no chewing. If you have to chew Krystals, you’re never going to get into the super totals–75+, especially if you don’t possess a big mouth and/or can’t swallow fast without choking.

    Ever notice when an eater can’t even eat half the number of hot dogs as Krystals? You do have to chew hot dogs, at least to some extent; you do not have to chew bunless thin beef batties, whose left-behind bread jacket has dissolved in the water cup.

    When I have attacked/insulted people it was factual.

    It was also to their face, or with my name on it.

    Some of the newer guys (mostly table enders) should learn from our poor examples & stop trashing each other. Have fun, and improve or do like “The Butler”, and get out.

    No one cares if you came in 6th instead of 8th.

    I have tried to be more like Crazylegs or Booker who don’t say anything bad about anyone. It ain’t easy, but i’m trying.

    Joe im not 4/27 anony. Although the commentary would appear to point towards me, i am sorry to spoil your lame prediction the same way you have failed in the past accusing me of being Luther. I dont remember ever seeing you insult anyone to their face with the exception of Dale Boone . Your entire life is CE and getting thrown out of a contest (B&W) is considered the worst thing in the world that can happen to you. I believe that most or maybe all of the sneaky insults directed towards me on this site with anony or alias names, are you and only you including the one that mentioned my name wild Bill and syko “empty threats” on 4/28. Did i raise a major issue over 6th and 8th place? You did not i . You have tried to be a liar and deny you ever said anything bad about anyone when we all know what you are all about .Using Booker or Crazy Legs name as an example is an insult to their name You can never be like them even if you tried. Your attempt to apologize to those names and others by saying nice things about them in the past is a nice try but the damage is done. Get it through your thick head. Booker ,Legs, Myself, Hardy, Pat B Subich, Legs mom the list goes on. They cant stand your ass . Yeah ill speak for them. And its for one reason and one reason only. You are a sneaky no good piece of garbage that preys on making assinine inadvertant hateful remarks about people and then have the audacity to deny you even said it. Case in point ” Shredder and Subich are losers” “Sonya is anorexic” . Legs finish 2nd in lobster must be a malfunction in the scale”. I cant even count how many remarks you made about me which included personal attacks along with slamming my eating ability. I saw them and i read them all on speedeat . They saw it they read it as well . I can go on with more but why bore the audience. The iceing on the cake was when you tried to make me look like a fool claiming that Boone never competed in dumplings when you called me that morning and put Boone on the phone. Then later on you admitted that Boone did actually compete. After that incident how on earth is anyone supposed to take you serious ? I buried the hatchet with you last year or at least i thought i did and then out the blue you came right back and shitted on me a few months after we did the PPV show which everyone thought was quite entertaining . Your main objective is to humiliate and embarrass me on this site with lies because you realize that the bulk of the CE community tunes in and hopefully you can get them to believe your bullshit . . Really whats the fun of insulting me via email? Thats no fun right Joe? Noone else can read it but you and i? Real men keep negative issues between themselves .

    Alot of the above is correct. This is eating, not pro wrestling or boxing. We should all get along and just enjoy the fact that the one thing we can do to entertain is friggin eat fast and in quantity. Rankings are all good and coming in first would be sweet, but it is obvious that most of us do it for the comraderie and to have some fun.

    Enough trash talking about who is going to punch who!

    Enough about possible cheaters; there should be judges who have the final say and if nobody is disqualifier on the spot for cheating, then let it be. It is not going to change what happened.

    Broadway was fun, especially the ride back with the great personalities I got to hang with (mancation) so no matter what happened, it was all worth it.

His first post this year and he slings shit at a little female eater, probably because he’s jealous that there’s not one woman on the circuit today that he can outeat and they’re all half his size. He did the same shit in December of 2006 against another small female and he wasn’t at either event. You’re just another Luther.

    Joe, every person on this earth is weird or quirky in some way. (I’m as weird {and probably even more dumb … I just don’t like others saying that} as/than the next person.)

    I think it’s pointless for anyone to throw stones, as we all live in glass houses. No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes/has regrets. We all need to forgive, forget, and move on. It does no one any good to be a slave to the past. Yesterday is dead, gone, history, and you can’t change it. But we all can remember it, so we can grow from the experience.

    Personally, I like you Joe. You are not afraid to speak your mind, and you call a spade a spade. You pull no punches. I often don’t agree with your tone, but that is who you are and I accept you for that.

    It would be a madly boring world if we were all alike. Competitive eating would not be competitive eating without Joe Menchetti, or without Brian Seiken. … I really mean that …

    To Everybody,

    I know that I am not in the US and for that reason I am not able to participate in any contests or challenges there, but as a fan of the competitive eating world and all the great eaters that I have been able to know about online, I believe I can tell you my humble opinion with all my respect. The competitive eating world is very small compared to other sports or disciplines so I think the best thing to do is that everybody try to get along with everybody else and if you don’t get along with one or two in the group at least respect his/her opinions, believe me if the other person is not saying the truth or is attacking you, or is not being honest, polite, you named it, sooner or later everybody will know it and you won’t even need to say a word. People is known by their words and actions.

    You (all of you in general) have a lot of things that you should value, you have organizations and people that work to create and keep contests on running, you have restaurants that offer challenges, you have all kind of media that want to support competitive eating, you have more things available that competitive eating can offer you now than 10 or 20 or 30 years ago. You have resources available for you to follow a competitive eating career that I will never have even in my dreams. Believe me, I wish I have all those things here, you have no idea how hard is being in a place that almost everything and almost everybody is against this (they say competitive eating!!?? that’s crazy, you will be sick, you are hurting your organs, you are eating while other people is fasting, etc. etc. etc.) and yes perhaps you face that there but you have people who also believe and support it, there is nothing like that here.

    I think you should take advantage of all those resources instead of giving each other or one another a hard time, I do really want to meet you all if I am able to go this year to US and I would like to tell you in person how lucky you are and please never lose what you have because you are focusing on bad or negatives things instead of the good and great things you have there.

    I really appreciate your time to read my message and remember to appreciate everything you have available now because you don’t know how the future is going to be, so let’s work together for a better world of competitive eating. I do admire and respect all of you and it would be an honor to meet you and have a good eating challenge together.

    Thank you
    Alex (EatChugMore)

    Yet again another anonymous coward. Let me tell you about comaraderie. 90% of the eater and some of them would suprise you would cut your throat to place 1 slot higher. At the table it’s dog eat dog maybe after the event its all beers and back slapping but before or after its every man for himself. Joe and Dale maybe considered the jerks of competitive eating but they always said that, and its true. The reason I said what I said about Broadway at the beach is because Badlands is one of the few (Their are others) that are truely stand-up guys that wish everyone does their best. If you saw the tape and disagree with me please try to explain away what you see.

    P.S. I’m not quick to threaten anyone but I know you are a Twerpy little piss ant and the anonymity of the internet makes you beleive that you can talk to a grown Man like me any way you wish. Because your a coward and hide behind a computer you finally get to tell people how you feel. This probably also translates to your sex life as well and you get to mentally have sex with hot chicks but in reality land your punching your clown in your mothers basement.

    good luck with your pathetic life you narcisist.

    Dale Boone is very tricky. He might come off as a dumb hillbilly sounding illiterate on this site but i believe it to be an act. Some of these very well versed statements belong to Dale so as to throw you off. He could be Luther or any of the other anonymous comments that feature little if any grammatical errors. Some of the negative Juliet Lee and Sonya posts belong to noneother than Dale Boone. Bubba is 100% correct about the anony assholes that sneak in these crude remarks thinking they can get you excited without revealing their identity. Life is beautiful isnt it? Guess what ? One day they will get what they deserve

    Just listened to BB’s album. The singing is not great, but this cd is a lot of fun. The “Bonebreaker” actually keeps going through my head ” Super Paul…he always hits the wall” – funny!
    “Weigh my S..t” sounds like a raving lunatic, but again, if cursing can be considered light-hearted fun, this song makes you laugh out loud at Brian’s lament of the alleged table-ender disrespect. Try to get this out of your head while you are cutting the grass, sitting in traffic, or singing in the shower – you will fail! Just don’t sing out loud, your kids may pick up the language.
    “Moses is Great” – another bizarre chorus that sticks in your head, whether you like it or not – a strange homage to Don Lerman – even mentioning how Eatfeats writers keep blasting Don – how dare they, Moses is great!!
    Brian’s whole album is full of stuff like this. He screams about the AICE’s inferior (in his eyes) status to MLE, but then he rants about the injustice MLE head, the Sheas, have brought down on his head, lowering his rankings, not weighing his s..t properly, etc.
    Badlands does a great job backing Brian whenever he shows up – an especially great rap on “Bonebreaker”. Despite the fact that Simon Cowell would blast Brian out of the room if BB ever headed for the American Idol tryout stage, this is a must-have for anybody who loves competitive eating, loves or hates BB, and contains the most unusual Beatles song parodies ever. He may not be the best eater, or the best singer, but BB has uncorked an album that is hard to forget. Nice work Brian, the bad eater wins this time!!

    I for one am happy to see that Dale Boone is back home. I hope he makes it to eat hot dogs on July 4th. Welcome back Dale.

    Well I get along well with all the of the eaters I have met online here I would like it to continue that way, again I don’t know anyone into competitive eating down here so for me having a friendship will all of you is important, of course you can get along better with some more than with others but there will always be admiration and respect from my side. Thank you.

    Hey Bubba, hope you did not insult Sykobozo when you mentioned the punching of a clown in the basement on April 30th. He is very sensitive to that kind of talk.

    Videos can be doctored. I believe nothing I hear and half of what I see. I do have enough faith in the judges who were there to have made the correct decision.

    But the question remains: WHO WERE THE JUDGES??? The MC does not stick around long once the top 3 are determined.

    What does it matter. Its over and done. They gave it to Juliet Lee. It was real close so it could have gone either way. I think its a disgrace that not a word about the contest was mentioned on IFOCE.com. It is not just a coincidence either. The Shea’s must have decided they dont want that contest to get a mention on their site. Juliet Lee must be in tears and you cant blame her

    Really. This is horse is not just dead, it is kicking and screaming in the afterlife. (No pun intended, however, concerning Eight Belles. That was so tragic.).
