    Top Five Versus Itself Since Last Rankings:

    Joey: 4-0 versus Bob; 5-0 vs. Pat; 1-1 vs. Sonya; 2-0 vs. Tim
    Bob: 0-4 versus Joey; 2-4 vs. Pat; 0-1-1 vs. Sonya; 1-2 vs. Tim
    Pat: 0-5 versus Joey; 4-2 vs. Bob; 4-0 vs. Sonya; 1-1 vs. Tim
    Sonya: 1-1 versus Joey; 0-1-1 vs. Bob; 0-4 vs. Pat; 1-3 vs. Tim
    Tim: 0-2 versus Joey; 2-1 vs. Bob; 1-1 vs. Pat; 3-1 vs. Sonya

    Okay. Look at these results. Bob has a losing record against every top eater since the last rankings. Pat and Eater X have a winning or split record against every every eater. Sonya has been getting killed by Pat and Tim. And Joey is has a winning record against them all. The point is this: the top 5 needs a shakeup.

    Sonya is the only person who has a win against Joey since the last rankings. Putting Tim or Bob ahead of her would be a joke. Might as well put Juliet or Crazy Legs in the top 5. After all, Legs did kill Sonya in corn.

    Look again. Wow. Joey is 1-1 against sonya since the last rankings. Must be a fluke.

    Yeah, that’s right. Tim “Gravy” Brown should be in the top five.

    It’s due only to the tremendous contributions of heavyweights like the great Brian Seiken that competitive eating is what it is today.

    if elected, I promise that I will finish in the Top 25 of every contest I enter…semi-possible, since most contest have only 15 entries at most..speaking of contests, when will there ever be a contest within a full gas tank of Georgia again?? Every time I go to Krystals, and see the Square Off graphics on the wall….it’s just….so….sad. …..must….focus

    Sean “Wrecking Ball” Brockert (1306/66/33) Not sure that eatfeats intended a popularity poll but you have to give credit where it is due. Wrecking Ball received only two votes fewer than Larell Marie as Number 1 eater, if I read the results correctly. Go Larell Marie and Wrecking Ball!

    i will give you i only ate ten hot dogs but most definatly didnt throw up…i actually stopped three minutes early because clc, damon wells, adrian morgan and kevin ross were too far ahead of me. i realize it now that i should have kept going for bigger numbers which would please the critics on eatfeats but i dont like hot dogs and i wasnt thinking that far ahead. whoever said i threw up i would like to know where they heard that…

    Yes I only ate ten hot dogs at my qualifier but I most definatly didnt throw up. I stopped eating seven minutes in because I was way too far behind CLC, Adrian Morgan, Damon Wells and Kevin Ross. Now that I think about it I should have kept eating to increase my totals and please everyone on eatfeats but I didnt think of it at the time and I hate hot dogs. Not sure where you, anonymous 11:16, heard I threw up but would be interested in knowing if you feel like sharing.

    Do not take the bait Wrecking Ball. You are not doing this to please eatfeats which is filled with anonymous posters including me (I have my own reasons to be anonymous). Once something gets started, it is difficult to unravel. People are also very nasty and unforgiving, anonymous and not. Just keep going. I wouldn’t bother with asking someone where they heard something which isn’t true. Put your energies into the positive. The eating “community” can be terrific or continually nasty. Choose your friends carefully.

    I don’t think Sean, Laurell and their fans realize that they aren’t doing themselves any favors by claiming they are better eaters than Bob, Sonya, Erik, etc. It’s just going to more embarrassing next time Sean and Laurell get beat by those same top eaters at the table. Thanking people who claim that you are better than those other eaters doesn’t help the image factor either. I’d discourage those types of claims.

    As far as choosing my friends carefully, I am trying to be friends with everyone in the eating community. So far every person I have met has been awesome and willing to help me complete my goal of being a serious competitive eater. I think finding different ways to promote the sport of competitve eating is fun and can be exciting. Obviously I am not a top 5, 10, 15 or even 20 eater in this league yet but I try to bring fans to the sport that haven’t really followed before. So my number are a little off, but it is just good friends, family and fans wanting looking out for me to suceed at whatever I do and I can’t thank them enough. Everytime I voted (yes I have voted multiple times) I have never listed myself in the top 15. Right now I see the goal of breaking the top 20 but I am just not there yet! @Hmm thanks for the support and I hope you are a fan on my “Wrecking Ball Fan Page” on facebook. I like to do giveaways of Wrecking ball t-shirts and such there. I think Larell Marie and I are kind of in the same boat, we are new and learning but watch out in a few years we will be topping these polls!

    Dazed and Confused – lollll – O believe me I am in no way disillusioned that I am anywhere near being in the Top 25 eaters. I just find it heartwarming that so many people went onto the poll supporting me as an eater. Nor will I EVER be embarrassed being beatn by the CE greats!!! I will just give it my all and be proud of whatever #s I attain as long as I know I gave it my all. I don’t think any eater should be embarrassed by a give-it-your-all try 🙂 Assuming you are a fellow eater, aren’t u proud of yourself when u do the best you can, regardless of placement? 🙂

    Wrecking Ball – haha – I can only dream of ever being at the top of the poll but will not give up. Thx 4 the encouragement! 🙂

    October 7, 2010 @ 2:37 pm

    i have to agree with no one cares. Do these eaters who are still lucky enough to compete under age 30 think that they will look like the picture of health at 40 or 50? I dont care how much exercise they do . It is a grim future for all of them. Just wait and see

    To the person who voted for me:R U out of your mind?OJ won’t even post my comments anymore but he gives free reign to Seiken,even in all his anonymous incarnations.The biggest mistake I made in CE was not kissing ass.For that I’ve been lied about & abused by everyone.Wrecking Ball says he tries to be friends with everyone but after US MULE & Seiken mounted a smear campaign against me he gave in(like a lot of others),afraid that he would be disliked for not going along with the program.No one in this half-assed non-sport has the guts to stand up for what’s right.They all cower under the Sauron known as MLE.Who will be brave & go against the mighty,evil Sheas?NO ONE.

    asking your personal friends to stuff the ballot box to make you look good in the top 25 rankings does not reflect your ability as an eater. I find that to be rather bush league with no class at all

  49. Anonymous said

    October 21, 2010 @ 9:47 am

    How is voting once per day via the rules of the poll stuffing the box? I think it shows a lot of loyalty to specific eaters that their friends would take the time everyday to vote. Besides it brings more people to this website that usually wouldnt visit anyway, a win for all! I say good job WB and Larell Marie for trying to grow the sport through new people instead of just arguing with the same people everyday treading water and going nowhere.

    I wonder who the new faces in the top 50 will be. I can think of Larell, Klucken and Osthoff. Who else will be included? Also, who do you think the highest ranking new face will be?

    You can probably add David Solomon as one of the new faces in the top 50.

    @Stuffing the box – it was a poll people were having fun participating in. Everyone KNOWs who the top eaters are 🙂 @Anon 947 – thank you for seeing it that way; we were having a gr8 time with our friends/families. A lot more people (speakn from talkn to my friends/family) are now aware of EatFeats and IFOCE. I say win-win for everyone lol
