a victory for the wolf is a victory for the children he sponsors in third world countries.

My ribs didn’t even get weighed…shows you they only care about their top eaters

Not the first time there was weighing issues. Ask pat about the contest over memorial day when no scale was used

Look, people are busy and have no time to fart around weighing totals of distant finishers.

Well when you eat like seven ribs what do you expect.

Yeah, you can’t really expect them to weigh your exact total when you’re obviously out of the money. The audience wants to watch the contest, hear who the winners are, and get out. They don’t care how much Timmy Table-ender in 15th place ate or sit around so they can get his total.

Maybe some other eaters should change their names to Ben.

deep dish and gravy were tray for tray…deep dish did start moving faster but it still wasn’t that major..for gravy to slide all the way down to 4th..i think someone didn’t count the tray that gravy finished then threw back behind him since no one was paying attention to who needed ribs..i agree with val…but great job to everyone who ate, it was tough to watch and i’m sure more tough to eat.
