Nice negativity. But Pat and Joey weren’t there, so who cares what they “would” have done. Juliet, Badlands and the rest were there and their results are all that matter.

Juliet was incredible, it wasn’t even close. She had her nachos done while all of us were still choking down the first bites.
Just as important, B Brian squeaks out victory in the battle of the almost 50 year old and older eaters. The only thing more wrinkled and leathery-skinned than us four were the hot dogs. As I told Badlands, when you dunk the hot dog, and it is still dry, that’s trouble!….
A good time was had by all, and I did get some ocean time in afterwards – that water was freezing!

Congrats Juliet! Just the other day I was just looking through my photos of the 2006 World Pizza Eating Contest (the one where you won the amatuer contest beforehand) and thinking how cool it was that I got to see you in your debut event.

Thanks for putting the results in the database, OJ – I would have done it sooner, but I just woke up.
I missed Rick Petralia – sorry! It was an oversight, and not intentional. He came in 9th, just after Brian and I, finishing his nachos, wings, hot dogs, and one slice of pizza. Everybody else moves down one:
1.) Juliet Lee – finished all food items in approximately six minutes. (first title in an open contest)
2.) Badlands Bookers – finished all food items in eight minutes, contest was stopped at this point. (first contest since March 2007)
3.) Nathan Biller – finished nachos, wings, hot dogs, and six of the twelve slices of pizza.
3.) Dave Goldstein – finished nachos, wings, hot dogs, and six of the twelve slices of pizza.
3.) Arturo Rios – finished nachos, wings, hot dogs, and six of the twelve slices of pizza.
6.) Joe Tursi – finished nachos, wings, hot dogs, and five of the twelve slices of pizza.
7.) William Myers – finished nachos, wings, hot dogs, and two of the twelve slices of pizza.
7.) Brian Seiken – finished nachos, wings, hot dogs, and two of the twelve slices of pizza.
9.) Rick Petralia – finished nachos, wings, hot dogs, and one of the twelve slices of pizza.
10.) Shane Baker – finished nachos, wings, and 2.5 hot dogs.
11.) Pierre Abry – finished nachos, wings, and two hot dogs.
11.) Paul Barlow – finished nachos, wings, and two hot dogs.
11.) Rich Foley – finished nachos, wings, and two hot dogs.
14.) Bruce Pobanz – finished nachos, wings, and one hot dog.
It was nice to finally meet SuperPaul, Hangman, and some of the newer eaters that have been competing off and on: Joe Tursi, Rick Petralia, Shane Baker, and Rich Foley, and a newcomer to the table, Pierre Abry.

One of the greatest road trips in competitive eating history. Rios, U.S Male, Nasty Nate, Badlands Wild Bill . If not for the geographical expertise of Wild Bill we would have been stuck in traffic heading home north on 95 and we would have never known about the one remaining Krystal burger outlet in SC which i might add was a bitch to find especially when your GPS rejects the address. Wild Bill you are one of the greats . Krystals kill white castle. I call it the organic version of white castle . No runs and no grease. They taste great. One small setback . I ordered a sack of 24 and when i got home 16 were in the sack. Will the guilty party that ate my 8 missing krystals while i was in the toilet please come forward! If not i will have to call the restaurant and insist it was their fault. and mail me the remaining 8 . I mean cmon guys i know krystals are the bomb but this is totally uncalled for .

Just flew back from Myrtle Beach and overall it was a great trip. We got tossed out of an all you can eat Chinese buffet the night before and was comped a couple free slabs of ribs after the contest at Tony Roma’s.
I’ll post some more later but here is a link to some photo’s taken by one of the newspaper reporters.
http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/724/gallery/422765.html
As to the results posted by Wild Bill. All I’ll say is those are not the official results. Technically there are no official results. As BB writes on his website the contest was stopped after Juliet Lee won. Congrats again to her. Some have said she won at 6 minutes. The paper says it was 7 minutes and 13 seconds. Some in the audience heard 8 minutes. Whatever it was, Juliet Lee was the one and only winner.
While some eaters stopped eating, others kept on. So Ryan then restarted the contest to see who would get second place and Badlands was declared in second with Arturo in third. Some went back to eating while others just stood around and chatted with the fans. I was told I came in 7th place and I’m sticking by that.
I thank Wild Bill for sharing what he thought the results were but he is wrong. The only results that should count were Juliet first, Badlands second and Arturo third. For multiple reasons, and to be fair, all the other ones should be a question mark.
Overall it was a pleasure meeting old friends and making new ones. I look forward to meeting some of you again very soon.

Hangman, it was nice meeting you at Broadway but you should not question Wild Bill’s results. He travels to many events throughout the country and thankfully is relied upon to assist and report unbiased results to the best of his ability. Whether official or not, it was whats left on the table and “MOST” eaters agreed by the numbers as they were recorded. It occassionally happens in a small $$ event such as this. Nobody was affected financially and nobody else was complaining.
Although there was some confusion toward the end of the event, you can go on thinking what you want about your placement. You gave your best effort trying unsuccessfully to beat the rest of the senion circuit. Don’t sweat the small stuff. You are still our Hangman champ.

anonymous said
April 20, 2008 @ 6:15 pm
The three way tie for third was not accurate at all. I did not compete but i saw lots of mistakes in the final count. Lets just say only one of the three men earned a legit 3rd place finish

US Male, it was nice meeting you too and all the other eaters. I’m not sweating the small stuff. I had too much fun.
I’ll say this once and one time only. I stood next to Wild Bill in the contest. When I walked away I saw less food on my plate than on his. That is the last I’ll say about what I did or did not eat.
I also spoke with a couple reporters afterwards, one of them we met in North Myrtle Beach and they got the results they printed from Ryan. That is where the third place results for Arturo came from. So who was right. Those reporters and where they got the results or another fellow eater?
If invited I would enjoy returning back to Myrtle Beach. The TV interview I saw afterwards of that event was great. The newscasters both times I saw the news said nice things about the event and about my segment of the interview. Also the pictures in the Sunday paper were great.
With so many disputes maybe there should only be one or maybe two spots listed with all the other eaters, but have their finish listed as unknown. Just trying to be fair to all involved.

US MALE said

I understand Hangman. The most accurate way would be to weigh the trays of food before and after the contest and to make sure all eaters stop at the same time. For some eaters, placement is important for other reasons.
Anonymous @ 6:15, who gives a shit what you think or what you saw. Until you post your real name/identity, what you say will mean nothing to the eaters. We understand there was some descrepencies with stopping & re-starting, but those that heard Ryan say to keep eating (not everyone heard him) cannot be faulted by doing what we are told.
Arturo & Nate did a great job and I am honored to be placed 3rd wtih them. We all have other events coming up that will be more meaningful and “possibly” earn us some money.

Most of us did stop when Juliet was finished, but, hey, after about fourth place, what does it matter, anyway?? After that, I just sampled what was left – that pizza was good, and the ice drinks were perfect for a sunny day – Hangman, I’d like to see that news report – is there a link online for it?

Nice job Juliet and it’s great to see an old school legend back at the table, and Brian also. It’s just a shame that that contest doesn’t offer more money. Unless you win or live close by you lose money. And even the winner may lose money given the cost of gas and airfare.
Since they never raise the purse, (It’s been the same for at least the last 4 years, I believe.), I think the organizers are sending a message that it is primarily for locals.

It wasnt about the money. This was like a picnic with some old school eaters or more like a down south family reunion of eaters that never got chance to meet one another .

Hangman – there’s no point in arguing with you. I obviously wasn’t there, and I made up all the results.
I could argue about it, point out what was REALLY left, but I have no proof. No pictures, just the results as were discussed and agreed upon by the majority of the eaters after the contest. In fact, the results were discussed by everyone but you. I did ask you what you ate as well, which is what I wrote down.
Another year of bitching about the results – that they’re all wrong when completely reported, or that they’re incompletely reported, or not reported at all.

Wild Bill had a pen and pad an was on top of each and everyone of the eaters plates like a insurance claims adjuster for GEICO. He accounted for each and every deduction possible. This was not an easy contest to judge as far as remains and i commend him for his efforts which he performed as a courtesy to the eaters. He is a class act and he adds a whole lot to the sport. . As far as the contest i finished the nachos and wings almost the same time as US male but Male cleaned those wings to perfection. It was all bone on his end. That was a master technician at work. The hot dogs were the bitch and US Male will agree with me on that. If you were able to get past the 3rd and final dog , the pizza was a welcome friend to your salivary glands. I will be very well prepared for the three bros pizza contest at the end of May.

Well stated Brian. That was even better than reading Bits and Pieces, which I do a lot. If you keep nothing else on your site, keep that. Though it’s all good, Bits is my favorite part.
Rhonda Evans said
April 21, 2008 @ 12:52 pm
I agree Brian. Wild Bill needs to be appointed IFOCE Statistician. When he’s at an event he keeps up with things as well as or better than the counters or other eaters themselves. He’s all over it, and I’m sure every eater must appreciate it.
US MALE said
April 21, 2008 @ 4:27 pm
The Nachos and Wings were delicious but the Hot dogs (properly described by Super Paul) came with nasty, stale rolls that were more crunchy then the nachos. The wings were awesome, maybe there should have been much more of them.
Again, great job Bill. At least somebody takes the initiative to do what you do. You asked every eater what they did and where there area was so if someone missed the boat, oh well.
See you all at pizza where all I can say is, “I have something up my sleeve for that day.”

MRS Hangman said
April 22, 2008 @ 5:11 am
These comments are from MRS Hangman. The wife of one of the eaters. I was at Broadway At The Beach and I’ll speak from what I saw with my own two eyes.
When we arrived to the contest site, my husband introduced myself first off to Beautiful Brian and Badlands Booker. So for Brian to mention on his video blog that he had no idea on who I was, his wife or his girlfriend as he put it, was wrong. Brian is from NY and has a mouth. If he did not know who I was, all he had to do was open his mouth. You have no idea on where I come from Brian so do not try and go there.
Yes I watched Brian’s video blog. I wanted to buy a copy of his CD and no I’m not cheap.
At the 21 minute mark you mentioned numerous lies about my husband. He has not been talking smack about certain things about you like you claim. Wrestlers like him as you say, from the 70’s, do not become your friends and then f**k you afterwards. Another false comment by you is that the wrestling business is complete back stabbing and two faced. In the wrestling world the boys in the back know that my husband is a complete pussy cat in the ring. The one they have to watch out for, and they all know it, is MRS Hangman. I do not pull my punches.
On to the eating contest. I was standing in the front row and after the contest I saw nachos still on some plates and some wings cleaned while some still had meat on them. Some eaters were eating pizzas and never finished the nachos or wings.
I saw the results posted on Eatfeats by Wild Bill and I say they are wrong. There were some that got credit for eating some pizza and they did not finish the nachos or wings.
Another point I saw was one eater soaking his food in a bowl of water before the contest began. I was in Perry, GA at a Krystal’s contest and one of the eaters tried to bring a plastic Tupperware type bowl out on stage. He was told that using the bowl would be a DQ. At this contest in Myrtle Beach one eater I saw used a bowl. The other eater used cups like they should do.
I’ve been married to my husband almost ten years now. If he has something to say to you, good or bad, he will say it to your face. He does not become your friend and then f**k you afterwards like Brian claims. He is not one of those back stabbing, two faced wrestlers from the 70’s like Brian talks about. We have traveled the road together and have met some very nice and wonderful people at these contests. What you said Brian, about him is way out of line. You do not know him and you do not know me. He can fight on stage with a big guy weighing over 800 pounds and toss him around like a rag doll. That is a show. For you to say what you did about either of us, that was not a show. That was just plain beyond rude.
MRS Hangman said
April 22, 2008 @ 6:56 am
Beautiful Brian hopefully now knows not to mess with me or I may just have to talk about the rude, crude, vulgar, and sexist and degrading comments he was over heard saying about woman’s breasts at the Broadway At The Beach contest. Remember the female reporter working the video camera in the blue top. How many saw those up close pictures taken of her breasts.
beautifulbrian said
April 22, 2008 @ 8:52 am
Mrs Hangman. I honestly did not know whether you were Hangman’s wife or GF . I never met you before until this past saturday. I never insulted you in that show .I never said that you were cheap. All i stated was that i didnt know if you were his wife or GF . If he did mention to me that you were his wife it might have slipped my mind because in situations where there are crowds of people i tend to be forgetful about things people say when they introduce themself to me. If i offended your husband on BB corner i apologize . The show is not to be taken that serious. It’s purely for entertainment purposes only. There are times i appear to be truly pissed off when in reality it’s really not that way at all.Iv’e been a fan of wrestling since 1974 and i know that alot of that WWF backstabbing stuff is part of the act. If i called him a backstabber . i was basically referiing to the sport itself. . You fail to mention that i told him i was a big fan of his growing up in the 70’s and if you were so keen about keeping an ear open to my conversations with others, you failed to listen in on the nice things i said about Hangman to other fellow eaters. Some of those comments included the great matches he had in the mid 70’s. Now as far as the woman’s breasts, again you got the facts sort of twisted. I had no idea who the reporter in the blue top was until another eater brought it to my attention. If he wants to come forward and admit it on this site that’s his biz but i will admit i went along with it because yes she did have lovely big breasts. He took a few pics and i zoomed in and got one also. Whats the big deal? If you live in Philly ,Ny or anywhere north of the border, expect that type of crude language amongst friends . I am sorry if you were offended but the comments were not meant to be heard by anyone but myself and the other gentleman i was talking to. I did not go over to this woman personally and make remarks about her breasts. You were eavesdropping in our conversation which is fine with me . In the past i recieved numerous email complaints about my vulgar sexist remarks about women but then again everyone has a right to their opinion. This is how we speak up north. One can take it or leave it. I dont conduct my lifestyle in that manner on an everyday basis but yes we do engage in crude conversation amongst friends from time to time. As far as the contest. That is a pretty sad evaluation of some of the eaters plate remains if indeed it is the truth.I believe that your rage along with your husband’s is due to the fact that according to the stats he finished dead last. I was nowhere near his plate so i cannot account for his final totals. Wild Bill did a fine job in calculating what he believed to be the correct totals but then again everyone has the right to beef if they felt they were dealt an unjust hand. Again i hope there were no hard feelings and i hope to meet and spend more time with the both of you at a future event

Brian did not say anything wrong. We, as two heterosexual men, were just noticing how healthy looking the camera woman was and how sexy the other cute, petite blond with the microphone was too. So we looked and said WOW! That was about it. I was taking pictures of everyone including the two women. The one with the mic even smiled at me and stuck out her tongue. My wife saw the pictures and does not care because she knows that I am a looking everywhere I go. I can look but not touch. Surely the Hangman took a peak at some point. We even looked at some of the cute runners as they finished the race prior to us eating. Is this wrong?
I enjoyed meeting you both at the competition but all this arguing is senseless. It will change nothing and just cause anger or hate between some eaters. Lets not let this happen. Brian….give Mrs Hangman a hug and let’s drop this crap.

I just tried to watch Brian’s latest show. Way,way, way, way too long! Brian, shorten up the segments – your cut ins from the eaters, the Krystal eating- fine, and about the right length-but you lost me on your endless diatribe about US Male and the Shredder-that should have been 30 seconds. The Krystal co-worker thing, pure agony!! Too bad, I wanted to hear Juliet, and see some contest highlights.
Less talk, more action! Some day I hope to have four hours to spare to get to the good stuff!
I give the show 1 out of four stars because of the rambling, it’s like Tom Petty sings “The waiting is the hardest part”
But I still give you an A for effort, I know it’s a lot of work, and at least we know you love competitive eating, and now, Krystals.

I agree Critic. I watched it several times and the rambling is abit excessive. Trying to cut back on that for future shows like get to the point and move on. I usually have a prepared script but this time it was all spontaneous Next time just wait for the show to download and advance the space bar on the player if you get bored with my monologue. . Die hard fans like the rambling but alot of new fans tuned in so i should have been more receptive to their needs. July 4th show will be a blast. Cant divulge info as of yet.

BB says, in Philly, NYC and North of the border, women are talked about with crude language. Here in South Carolina we men act like Gentlemen and SHOW RESPECT to Women by our words and actions or risk being taken out back and introduced to the business end of the buggy whip.
Even Dale Boone from Atlanta who sometimes is a jerk still shows respect to the women.
Next time Ya’ all come down South, understand that respect is welcomed.

Clark Gable’s biography mentioned that he suffered from extreme halitosis. I guess that applies to his character Rhett Butler who in that regard showed little respect towards women if he couldnt take the time out to use some mouthwash
