The ESPN schedule for July 4 is out. The men's Nathan's finals will be televised live on ESPN2 at noon Eastern and rerun three times later that day. The women's contest has yet to be added to the ESPN3 streaming schedule. (ESPN2 will broadcast First Take at 10am when the female division takes place.)

    The ladies are going to put on a show this year, that’s for damn sure. ESPN be damned.

    They should do away with women’s contest due to lack of interest. The handful of women who can eat should have to compete against the men (like the good old days) to win a qualifier. If that means only Miki and Michelle (and Sonya if she is still interested) are the only ones who can qualify; then that’s the way it should be. There is nothing psychological that keeps a woman from eating as much as a man

    Or physiologically as well. Forgot to mention Juliet who could still get in if she picked the right qualifier. It would mean Miki, Michelle and Sonya would also have to avoid the big guns if they wanted to make the main event and they would have to settle for prize money in the hundreds instead of in the thousands.

    DOUBLE THE PURSE AND CONBINE BOTH EVENTS. It’s 2018, men and women should compete on the same stage. Black Widow became a personality because she competed against and beat men. Separating them makes their contest a warm up act for George. I’d rather see YouTubers be the opening act (and why not? Imagine the publicity on each individual channel if you get people like Nate Figueroa, Beard Meats Food, Erik The Electric, Kate Ovens, etc etc. they can duke it out and help connect new viewers to Nathan’s and also the contest.

    However if they did get in a final with the men none would finish in the top six or seven. Joey, Carmen, Matt, Geoff, Darren and Max Suzuki would easily beat Miki and Gideon probably would as well. Michelle and Sonya would finish behind Adrian Morgan and be in the neighborhood of Juan, Rich. George, Steve and a couple of others.

    anyone that doesnt follow the nathans finals closely wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the mens contest from 2012 to 2017 and same for females It looks like a never ending boring replay for the last 6yrs when the cameras zoom in on Sonya Miki and Chestnut and Stonie Add announcers Rich Shea and one foot in the grave Paul Page to the mesh

    Page is the WORST employee ESPN has ever hired. He doesn’t know shit about anything. I guess it shows what the network thinks about competitive eating (that it’s bottom of the barrel programming).
