The Beast was competing all over the place when he first got a ranking then after the thrill was gone he gave up because he wasn’t winning . That along with the fact that fans of the sport weren’t making a big fuss over him like they do in youtube Barlow was one of the worst eaters known to mankind and nothing more than an attention whore who finally got his wish being an extra in movies. Edible quit either out of respect for Pat or an ultimatum from Pat. That along with the fact that Sudo would not only whip her ass but take away any little exposure she might have headed her way. That’s it in a nutshell

MLE is a dirty money hungry organization who could give two shits about the eaters unless they can profit from them. Some of the eaters above have realized this after receiving legal threats from the organization and no longer wish to support this so called business. I can’t wait until the documentary Hungry comes out to expose this corrupt business for what it truly is. Karma is a bitch Shea Brothers.

I would bet you any amount of money that 1038 comment is from Maggie. I would geuss Brad but he rarely visits this site. I would also bet that the names above never received any legal threats from anyone. Kobe might have been the only eater in the MLE organization that received a legal threat because he was high profile high change as opposed to the names above which are small change to them

Edible did not compete at all in 2013. She went from an eater to an observer. Once the itch is gone she won’t be an observer either

Maggie and Kobayashi simply never understood about what “freedom” means. The real story is both simple and complicated. It is all about a relationship between the two and how it developed and played out. Whatever the movie shows, it will not be the real and true story. But then any film shows what the filmmakers want to show to make their story. There are many stories here.

Coondog ? He used to post here. He once mention that he didn’t like the fact that Booker stayed quiet when he would bash the sheas in conversation with him
