Thank you Las Vegas Weekly..If every one watches the video you will clearly see Joey using his hand to push a meatball back into his mouth at the beginning and at the end.There should be eather a DQ or a two meatball deduction, thus allowing Pat to win..Rules are rules, maybe for everyone else..

agreed!
You didn’t see anybody else touching the meatballs with there hands. The rules were very clear that you could not touch the meatballs under any circumstances.

So someone or someones should directly contact the powers that be on behalf of Bertoletti. There must be some way to make a make-up call if this is true. (I didn’t watch the video)

With all the anonymous bashers against various eater, how do you let Joey get a free ride on this one? He clearly used is hand twice during the contest and nothing was said..I believe Pat should be the winner,with Joey getting a two or three meatball deduction..

If Beautiful Brian saw this video , he would be all over this story..Is Joey that much of a star that rules dont count when it comes to him?

This is the trouble with all the contests. #1 can cheat , be seen and nothing is done because he is the drawing card..Its like watching WWE wrestling in which the referee never see’s anything thus allowing the crowd drawing person to win.There should be refs at every major contest, and not be someone who is Joeys fan like in Coney Island.There will be a time when someone comes along bigger and better ..
