I don’t think some of the people on that list would go, even if offered the slot (although I wonder if there’s some a level of convincing that could be done). I can see Erik doing well in wings–he has a wing bowl vibe.

I don’t know why you wouldn’t give it Janus.

I’d be interested to hear the rationale behind Juliet Lee’s 6 votes. I mean, she’s a good eater and she might get better with time, but I don’t know how you can justify giving the last IFOCE Wing Bowl spot to someone who’s only competed in two or three events and isn’t even ranked in the top 20.
Unless those 6 voters (or one person on 6 different computers) is looking at it from a marketing perspective and saw it as an opportunity to showcase women in the sport. That’s kind of makes sense, but Sonya fills that role at Wing Bowl and another Sonya-like eater would just dilute her spotlight.

Juliet Lee will become a great eater if she isn’t already. You can virtually kill someone’s career if they are pressured to fill one’s shoes (Ex: Subich Ed Jarvis) .. You cant help but hear the comparisions between Sonya and Juliet because they are both asian and female. There have been other females that competed asian , white, hispanic black, but unfortunatly most of them quit after 2or 3 hot dogs or did not do very well in other food categories . It is hard to find female eaters that want to compete let alone a good female eater. If Juliet does get picked for wingbowl it would be a big surprise and a happy one for her. They wont expect her to win but if she does well she might be expected to at least place in the money the following year or win outright.

I hadnt thought about Juliet Lee at Wing Bowl….very interesting. The IFOCE seems to be going down the roster from the top, and so it seems it’s Tim’s for the taking. Rich of course placed secomd last year and had the suport of most of Philadelphia….I had hoped that they would have saved a spot for a non-top fivish eater.(not saying I want those guys excluded!!!!!!) Arturo, Seaver, Conti, Juliet come to mind and they would do GREAT and I’d personally love to see that. I also think it would be interesting in true spirit of the Philly Underdog, for the IFOCE to use it’s final pick on the deep ranks. The IFOCE has it’s lock on the contest, so give some random eater the chance of his life. Fly up Larry. Fly up Bubba. Fly up Hall. Fly over Denmark…..Hell, even fly up BOONE. (They’d throw full cans of MGD from the 700 level at his coon-skin-cap. The crowd would LOVE to hate Boone!) It would be a great opportunity for somebody.

While I absolutely embrace Juliet and laud her eating ability. (We need more like her.) It wouldn’t go over well at all to pick her over more veteran eaters who are ranked higher than she is right now. They’d have a valid complaint.

Arturo should have recieved more than 6% . I cannot see them choosing Lefevre or Janus because they have been there before and both have no shot of winning. Lefevre did come close last year but this year he would not fare well against the new crew of 2007. Juliet or Arturo as the final pick. You make the call

this is don lerman I was informe d by George Shea that I will not be chosen for the wing bowl that a higher ranked and more active eter should be picked and that perhaps I along with others I can be included at a future wing bowl , I have also asked for my ranking to be reinstated inthe ifoce rankings as i intend to compete in future contests .. don lerman

The IFOCE made there decision a long time ago, they just have not announced it yet. It’s not me either, though I would have loved to have a chance at Wing Bowl. I think I would do better than most people might think. It’s too bad they wouldn’t allow outsiders to perform qualifying stunts either because I think I would have had one of the best of all time (I do still plan to perform the stunt in the future).
I know I didn’t come through on the Krystal circuit but seems as though people want to underestimate me now. That’s okay because the only thing that matters is what happens at the table.

Noone underestimates you. You are a fine young talent that just happened to come along when some incredible eaters just happened to be a little better. The unfortunate part is that the Erik the Red’s , Hall Hunt’s and other fine young eaters have been overshadowed by bigger names.

Gee, I certainly HOPE Juliet isn’t dating OJ. The kids and I really frown on that kind of thing.
On unrelated note, she says she’d be thrilled to be invited to the Wing Bowl and is fairly confident she’d be able to hold her own. Rich, George, are you listening?

WOW Juliet and Sonya on the same card? Along with Humble Bob, Pat, Chip. .Non IFOCE Philly locals that qualified might as well stay home

MegaMunch – Juliet’ Lee’s fans seem to have come forward without any rationale. Do you think its too late to start a “Draft Juliet Lee” petition to IFOCE?

I’m not sure it’s Juliet’s year. She’s got to get a few more contests and a few money finishes under her belt before she reaches Wing Bowl status. I’m am among the biggest cheerleaders when it comes to encouraging more women in the sport of competitive eating, but if we give her a spot based purely on her sudden Barack Obama-like star status (i.e. because she’s “different” from the rest), if she gets beaten badly, it’ll do more harm to image of women in CE than good.

agree with Mega this could do more harm than good throwing her into the wolves like that. Another thing, the crowd is very unruly and violent . They claimed to have beefed up security and frisk people down for objects etc, but i will believe it when i see it. I say let Juliet evolve and get some “playing time” meaning contests under her belt

I agree with you MM. Additionally, like I said in a previous post, Juliet is in the honeymoon phase of her relationship with the IFOCE and its eaters. It lasts about a year. She’d better enjoy it while she can.
If she is picked for Wing Bowl over higher ranked eaters, or those with more longevity in the sport, it will end abruptly that same day. And it would’t be her fault.
