Watch the video from Nashville. In the first 10 seconds you can see the debris already starting to pile up on Jukiet. At the one minute and 44 second mark on the video Rich Shea is saying , ” Keep it Clean, Juliet Lee. Keep it Clean”
At the 2 minute and 28 second on the video we see Juliet Lee pick up a cup, as though to drink some water. But instead of putting it to her lips to drink we see she holds it close to her over stuffed mouth and spits the contents of her mouth into the cup. Two seconds later she puts the cup back onthe table and her mouth is empty. Clearly she is trying to hide the food in her cups.
At 2:42 on the video Rich announces Juliet Lee has a slight lead but there is alot of “debris” around her plate. The word he used was jinsinus or something. I could not get the exact word.
He then goes on to say whatever is left on your plate will count against you. you HAVE TO EAT CLEANLY he tells everyone. Manners are part of competive eating It is not just about stuffing food down your throat.
At the two minute 56 second part he mentions that there is so much debris around Juliet that Emily Post would have a heart attack if she saw this..
At the 3:39 mark we can see that Juliet has already soaked the hamburger. She is about to bring it up to her mouth. Instead of trying to eat it or later to spit it back into one of her many cups, she decides to cut out the middle man and shoves the blob of wet hamburger back into the box making people think she ate it already.
At the 4 minute and 23 second mark on the video Rich announces to the audience there is a lot of mess under Juliet.
At 4:30 Rich announces 47 burgers for juliet, “and perhaps a couple deductions”
At 4:43 he announces “44 for Badlands Booker and he is DOING IT CLEAN”
At 4:50 Juliet Lee is holding burgers up to her mouth and the camer shows the burgers are falling out of her mouth and down her front as fast as she puts them up. Shades of BOTB when she put the Iltalian Icees up to her mouth, covered her face and the camera saw the drinks just pour down her shirt.
The cheating continues !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At 5 minutes we can see her spit more food into another cup. She does not tip the cup up to drink. She still holds one hand over her mouth. If you pause the video you can see some of the food hit the lower edge of the cup and fall to the ground as she tries to hide more of the “pre-chewed” food.
At 5;31 Rich says about 50 hamburgers for the front runners. “the judges will deduct for sloppy eating”
At 6:04 Juliet is caught spitting more debris into yet another cup and demanding the fourth tray be placed in front of her.
At the 6;41 mark she stuffs a burger into a cup to dunk it. Then after playing with it a few seconds she lets it remain in the cup and goes to take a drink from the gallon jug of water. Why the jug of water? Could it be her cups are so full of “hidden” debris that she will not drink from them.
At the 7:00 mark,19 seconds later she goes back to retrieve what is left of that hambrger she placed there and tries to eat the “soggy mess”
The contest is over. Rich says stop eating. Put down your Krystals. What does the video show. Juliet puts one handful of Krystals in her mouth. Then she reaches down. Picks up more food and stuffs this in her mouth. The contest is over for everyone but Juliet keeps trying to eat more, keeps chipmunking and get her total up there.
If you were not there, this video CLEARLY SHOWS JULIET CHEATING and CHEATING and CHEATING.
Juliet SCREWED Badlands, MLE, all other eaters there and other eaters in MLE. The video if used in court would convict even OJ. Johnnie Cochran could not even Juliet Lee out of this mess.

video is proof why defend badlands if he is not defending himself. As long as he has been in competitive eating he has never been known to badmouth or blame anyone else for anything. Your comment will look stupid when Badlands responds back by praising her.
