Megamunch & Humble Bob WB 16 reports
Megamunch has written a blog entry about Wing Bowl 16 and his attempts at pre-contest tailgating. He was forced to migrate between 4 different parking lots before entering the Wachovia Center to be a part of “Big” Brian Subich’s entourage. Megamunch has a captioned gallery of his trip.
“Humble” Bob Shoudt has also posted his report about his participation in Wing Bowl 16. Like other eaters, he has questions about the counting and ranking of his first round results:
At the end of the 14 minutes, I had eaten 108 wings. I was nervous that would not be enough as these wings were much faster then the cold rocks I had last year.
We waited for a while and then a guy came around and told us if we were in the 2nd round or not. I was told no, so I picked up my stuff. My judge came by and asked where I was sitting for the 2nd round. I said I wasn’t, I didn’t make it. He said “Those guys must have eaten a _ _ _ _ load of wings (refering to the other eaters). I asked him how he scored me. He said 17 and 18s on each plate (5 full plates). I was satisfied that I did not make it as that put me at 17+17+17+17+18 – worst case = 86 plus 6 on the last plate = 92 total. I assumed 92 would not be enough. When they announced that 70 was the 10th place total, I thought they they had just made a mistake. Nope. Next year…

CENews article on Philly video
An article about the Philadelphia Nathan’s qualifier video on MLE appears CompetitveEatingNews.com. Apparently IFOCE is standing by its original results:
Nonetheless, several viewers have reported watched the video and claimed that it shows that Shoudt’s hot dogs were closely counted and that, to support claims of a mis-count, Shoudt would have had to eat five additional hot dogs during one of the 10-second periods when the camera pans away. These viewers claim that it is possible to follow Bob’s consumption throughout the contest, if one allows for the missed moments when the camera pans away.
They also claim that the video reveals the MLE host repeatedly alerting the Nathan’s judge to the multiple plate issue and conscientiously following the count.
Humble Bob interview in Times Herald

“Most Wing Bowl eaters tell you right upfront how many wings they ate,” Shoudt said. “It’s not something I brag about.”

A full video of the meatball contest and prize announcements recorded by LadyLenore is available on Brian Seiken’s website. Joey Chestnut and Bob Shoudt are interviewed briefly. Sonya’s snub of Humble Bob’s handshake occurs at the 18:12 mark.
The 2006 meatball contest was definitely the contest of the parent. Not only did the IFOCE’s top father, Bob Shoudt, take victory against a field containing of 6 of the top 8 IFOCE members, Juliet Lee had the best ever IFOCE performance by a mother if the reports in the comments that she finished 7th with a total of 5.51 pounds is accurate.
updated spikebythesea has posted videos of the contest to youtube which can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=spikebythesea
Pat from Moonachie probably merited a spot closer to the center of the table based on his ranking, but putting him at the end was probably the optimal place based on what happened after the egg nog contest 😉
