    Pickle prediction.

    Arnie will claim some sort of made up record.

    This contest has been wrought with errors forever, from weighing the food &/or different sized plates, to long or short timing of the contest.

    Most contests you can’t compare yr by yr because of all the variables. With this contest, based on history you can’t compare eater to eater within the same year.

    With aice/ape involved those errors are likely to increase not subside.

    The 2008 record was made up just like 2006. What else is new

    I just came from the contest & I think Chowhore shit his pants when he saw me-he tried to get the cops to remove me because I booed him mercilessly but being this is America what could they do.It doesn’t matter who won,anything involving him is probably fixed anyway.

    wow – the picture shows one massive crowd – very, very impressive when the eaters outnumber the people watching the eaters

    It’s now been a full month since Nathan’s and the IFOCE rankings still aren’t updated. Kudos to the Sheas for taking their time with this. My guess is that they’re taking a full day to deliberate each of the 50 spots on the list to make sure they get every ranking just right (30 through 50 can be really hard!). If they wait a little while, they can just update them after Krystals — taking another 50 days, of course — and have the new rankings out by Christmas!

    They might as well wait until after Krystals to do the rankings, being that they’ve waited this long—- seriously.

    I suspect the IFOCE already anticipates surprises in the order of finish for this “beached” event; the best eaters will more readily surface.

    While eaters can still get away with some underhanded sh**, not only will “aggressive” tactics be fewer and more obvious to dectect, but eaters won’t yet have time to perfect their Krystal nondrinking game.

    Advice for the judges: keep your eyes peeled for dropped/uneaten/spit out/worn food, as well as burgers and remnants of burgers sailing over eaters’ shoulders from time-to-time. (Hey, a Krystal in the hair or down one’s shirt is better than one in the stomach when you don’t get caught.)

    I sure hope Dr. Big Time competes. I miss him.
