    This will sound melodramatic, but one possible slant may be that this whole thing about Kobayashi not appearing is simply a storyline to create more drama.

    Let’s look at this. Perhaps the IFOCE and Kobayashi already have it planned to sell the public on the notion that Koby is perhaps mentally and emotionally beaten, after finding out about Joey eating nearly 60 HDBs. Surely this is too insurmountable for even the greatest eater of all time to overcome, to the point that most people absolutely give up on him

    Unbeknownst to the public, however, the great Kobayashi has secretly been practicing in Japan and knows that he will eat at least 65+ HDBs. On July 4th he unexpectedly and triumphantly arrives on Coney Island to the playing of his signature entrance music. And, playing the rare role of the underdog, the greatest eater of all time reaffirms his supremacy and once again destroys the competition.

    Is it (or something similar) likely to happen? Probably not. But if you totally dismiss it as a possiblity, you could be in for a shock to your system! After all, no one expected him to eat 97 Krystals to defeat Joey ‘s 90+ either.

    Kobayashi will very likely eat 65 HDBs…and still come in 2nd place!!!!

    The fact is, in 2007, Kobayashi will come and break his personal record. But it still won’t be enough to win.
