    Kind of bummed no one surpassed the 100 mark, but hey, Joey pulled out another major victory over Kobayashi, and Pat coming in 2nd was pretty cool too 🙂

    Congrats to Joey. I wonder if Dr. Bigtime is going to bitch and moan about Juliet beating him by 12 burgers today? Did she cheat today also Bigtime? You knew you weren’t going to win today, why not take time and spend it with your family?

    I can’t wait to see Juliet tapes on this one. No 80? I’ll be surprised if it was even 55.

    According to the Krystal’s twitter “George Shea going over rules – being very strict about debris.” It looks like the eaters took George seriously.

    Judges need to wear better lenses. No way in hell Booker ate only 41. More like 51 or better!

    Look the topics for the evening are as follows, BB complaining that noone bought his CD, Juliet cheating, Don Lerman closing down his website. These are topics inquiring minds want to know. Joey Chestnut raising his hand smiling and then pouting if he loses is of no interest to anyone

    Congrats to Joey and Pat, they proved they are the top 2 eaters in the world!!!!

    September 28, 2008 @ 7:39 pm

    Now that Krystals are over, will IFOCE update their rankings and will Koby get a well deserved LOWER RANKING? We shall see.

  22. SPBBBMB said

    I’m amazed, after how easy Koby made it seem last week. I think he may have overdone the preparations. Both Joey and Pat had “trained” a lot less this week, maybe Koby peaked too early, like a week too early.
    It was hot and very humid, notice few eaters ate their best. As I said after the first Chattanooga Qualifer this year, the Krystals are a tad tougher – Kenny from Krystals told me, it’s a “tightrope act” to figure when to pull them out, and put them on the trays. A one to five minute difference in timing, makes a HUGE difference in the number consumed. Add the intense humidity both times in ChattyTown messing up the timing sequence more, and you can see both the Qualifier, and Finals results.
    Congrats to Hall for his 63, and Pat on his 85 – these two bucked the trend. Also, Juliet Lee ate a clean 55 – which would have qualified her two weeks ago, and is more impressive when you look at everyone’s finish. And, hail Ben “The Turtle” – he won the sackful challenge – with a minor assist form his wife!! (thanks for the VIP pass, Ben)
    Enough technical garbage!! Now the really important stuff – no one here really made that “final push” for Best Dressed Eater – yeah, I know they had their minds on something else – but the Lewisville Tamale eaters are looking good in the looking good sweepstakes.

    Koby should still be #2. That’s all I have to say about that.

    Next year i predict don lerman and pete mierniki will make comebacks and finish somewhere in the top 2 in krystals

    Bigtime spent time with his family. They were there, unlike you who sat typing nasty notes and eating nose Krystals in your domicile.

    Congrats to Joey. He proved that when he is on top of his game no one can beat him or even come a close second. Koby got jobbed out of 2nd place though. Taking away 2 burgers when both he and Pat are within that much is not fair to Koby.

    Me just re-check Super Rock Bonehead BigRocks Barlow MySpace blog. Him got all six top picks perfect, including bronto Krystal burgers eaten! Wow! him smarter than dude what invented wheel

    Wow!
    Crazy Legs edging out the Locust! I am certainly impressed. Hall almost catching Tim! Very exciting results.

    Awesome job to everyone. Funny how the IFOCE write-up describes Bertolleti as a “rising star”. Really? Did he just break onto the scene?

    Juliet behaved nicely, ate like an angel, and they let her drive the ship – she must have done SOMETHING we can bitch about. Who cares who won? We know who the big time losers were. Must be a conspiracy or bad judging.

  33. Dr. Bigtime said

    September 29, 2008 @ 12:13 pm

    I will admit I did terribly. I have no excuses, I just didn’t get the job done on Sunday. And I will give credit where credit is due. Juliet at 55 super clean, and I am duly impressed. She is a great eater, and much deserving of her ranking. I am an honest person, and I just tell it like it is. I will point out the positive when I see it. Congrats, Juliet. You really are amazing.

    It was a great contest, and I was just happy to be a part of it. Congrats to Joey, Pat, Koby, and all the eaters who did amazingly well.

  34. Bronson Fan said

    September 29, 2008 @ 12:16 pm

    Tonto, how can Koby still be #2 when Pat already is #2? Pat has beaten in him 3 out of the last 4 times they met and he should be #2!!!!

  35. No Mercy Percy said

    September 30, 2008 @ 9:56 am

    I think Koby is no longer wanted. The I.F.O.C.E. has used him up and now they’ve spit him out. Koby should stop eating for those jerks. Also, rankings don’t mean anything anymore. It’s all who they like.

    Dr. Bigtime, anybody can have an off day. Don’t cut yourself short (even if I can’t imagine you would do that). 🙂
