New prize structure for Wing Bowl 16
The upcoming Wing Bowl will have a different prize structure than Wing Bowl 15:
Wing Bowl 16 prizes
Overall winner: Toyota Tundra
First round winner: Harley Davidson motorcycle
Best Entourage: trip for 10 to warm weather location and home theater system including 73 inch TV
Top Wingette: Toyota Scion
Wing Bowl 15 prizes
Overall Winner: Suzuki Grand Vitara
Top Local Finisher: Suzuki SX4
2nd place: 4 night trip to Cancun
3rd place: medallion
Top Wingette: four night vacation to either Cancun or Punta Cana
It is possible that Wing Bowl 16 will also award prizes for 2nd/3rd place. The official rules would list all prizes, but there is no link for “Official Rules for Wing Bowl 16” on WIP’s Wing Bowl 16 page.

seriously… are they only allowing locals this year or what?
That’s a sweet Entourage prize. And anybody could have a chance at the 1st round prize. (I think they implemented this to get a prize to a philly local, instead of IFOCE walking w/ all the good stuff).

I think so too BK. All you have to do is look back at last year’s placements at the end of Round 1. IFOCE eaters were well behind the locals at that point.
Of course if speedsters like Badlands and The Godfather were to throw their hat in the ring, and be allowed to compete, there well could be a still different story after Round 1.

For that Toyota Scion I may well attempt to get lewd, rude, and crude. No, on second thought, I doubt I could wing it.

Why do you call yourself The Boy King? That sounds like something Michael Jackson would claim to be?

No mention of a local restriction was mentioned to Juris Shibayama when he submitted his accepted stunt attempt.

Well, King Tut, is referred to as the Boy King of Egypt. He became pharoah at young age and was also, presumably assassinated at a young age. He did not rule long, but he ruled well. His burial chamber was one of the only ever discovered that had not been plundered by looters. It was this wealth of found riches that launched such a short lived pharoah into the modern world as the most recognized pharoah of Ancient Eqypt.
Thusly, Wing Tut, is also the boy king.
A+B=C. Read a book. Watch the Discovery Channel. Anything to bring yourself up to speed.
No, “OK” magazine does not count as a “book.”

Wing Tut, what are you an Egyptologist?
Your comebacks always suck.
You judge a couple of crappy eating contests and now you think you’re qualified to judge the reigns of pharaohs too.
If you had read your books and not just the captions underneath the pictures, you would know that King Tut’s ADVISERS were calling the shots because King Tut was so young. You’re giving King Tut credit for being a figurehead not a leader.

King TUT was a villian on the batman tv show from 1966- 1968 . Victor Buono played the part . He was 28 years old when given the role of a man that was supposed to be in his late 60’s or early 70s. Sad to say Victor Buono died in 1982 at the age of 44.

I love that a bunch of Competitive Eaters are arguing over the ruling structure of a foreign country 3,000 years ago. For the record I think ‘The Boy King’ is a clever name, and I should know because I get called alot of names.

Hey Philly guy, you have a date for your stunt yet?
Ok fine Steakbellie, you take the bike. I’ll take the TV & vacations. Imagine that, me & 9 Wingettes in sunny Cancun (if I can clear it with the wife).
Happy New Year to everyone.

King Tut was an easy villian to defeat, and will be an easy eater to defeat. Just as in the Batman show, the participants to watch out for are Joey “The Joker” Chestnut, Bob ” Penguin” Shoudt, and Pat “Bookworm” Bertoletti….not to be confused with Roddy Mc Dowell, who played the bookworm on the TV show. Heavily missed will be Sonya “Catwoman” Thomas.
Philly Guy is to be admired for his spunk, and should enjoy the experience. My advice to him is chew on a few Wingettes legs, your odds of “winning” with them are probably much better than your odds of winning the Wing Bowl.However, the alleged corrupt judging may heavily influence the results, as we’ve seen in the past, and miracles do happen. For example, my son got an expensive XBox 360, which I swore would never happen.
Speaking of name stealing, Crystal ball is misspelled, and has already been used by Krystal contest predictors with far superior comments, and predictions, than a taunt with bad capitalization, and bad punctuation, and bad intent.

This man is a genius! Pat does resemble bookworm chestnut would make a good joker but boone might be a better pick. Right on the money for sonya with catwoman. I have to nominate ron koch or skinny boy for the riddler. They resemble frank gorshin built like gorshin but big question is, do they have the laugh?

Actually, Joey was picked for Joker because that is the top villain – if we went by looks, Superpaul would make a good joker, Joey may make a better Mr. Freeze, Juliet Lee might be a better Catwoman than Sonya, Skinny Boy – good pick for Riddler, Crazy Legs for Mad Hatter….who am I forgetting here??..

I didn’t mean Who was The Boy King. I meant it’s a gay nickname to adopt. At least King Tut had no say in the matter. You, on the other hand, are a 28 year old man.

Batman,
You should know firsthand, Juliet is much hotter body-wise than either Julie Newmar or Sonya.
Crystal Ball said

Philbin as egg head. They did have three different actresses play catwoman Lee meriweather in the 1966 batman movie. Eartha Kitt and Julie Newmar played catwoman in the tv series. Juliet can sub for Sonya. Jill Stoller can play Ma Parker. If you were a die hard fan of the show how about the Minstrel, Louie the Lilac, Zelda the great, Siren, Clock king, The Archer, Black widow, Falseface and Clock king . That about wraps it up. There has to be a villian spot in there for Don Lerman.

Batman is the man how dare you come to the conclusion that king tut was an easy villian for Batman to defeat. He appeared on the show a total of five times in three seasons. That is more than any other villian combined. Once in the first season twice in the second season and twice in the third and final season. I beg to differ your claim of Tut being a “weak villian” In the first tut episode Batman was subjected to ancient theban pebble torture which was supposed to reduce him to a mindless slave. To make matters worse Tut had Robin walk a receeding plank overlooking a crocodile pit. In season two one of the episodes has the caped crusader sealed in a royal sarcophagus and dropped into a large vat of water while Robin was to be boiled in oil. In the third season Tut escapes from Mount Arafat hospital and purchases a piece of land adjacent to wayne manor that includes a slanting mine shaft aimed at the batcave. The sad part is that Batman always manages to pull some shit from his two dollar utility belt to save the day or tut would have made mince meat out of him in the first season. You are sadly mistaken when you make the assumption that tut was one of the less dangerous villians for Batman to conquer. You need to brush up on your history and watch the shows before you come to your primitive conclusions

Pat as Egghead…perfect! I just never like King Tut on Batman, that’s why I called him weak. I guess we know who the Black Widow would be, make Rich Lefevre the Archer…..hmmm, I need more help here….Holy Menace Matching!

I am curious as to why everyone takes pure delight in shitting on Humble Bob shoudt. For some reason he is the brundt of cruel jokes by alias identities that hide behind the computer. After the meatball contest in atlantic city everyone has made him out to be the bad guy. Well i have news for you he is a nice person and a good soul. Anyone that can consume close to 100 krystal burgers is a champion no matter what.

humble bob did not eat close to 100 Krystals. He got credit for that many because people don’t monitor what goes in the mouth. He actually ate about half of each Krystal. Were you not watching the same event I was? humble bob is really a very nice guy on the outside but he has two faces and that makes people dislike both.

Humble Bob should be the riddler because he has most of you fooled. Why not just leave it alone with the Batman series fill-ins? I don’t think the top eaters you mention give a shit about any of that nonsense.

With Pat Bertoletti scheduling a stunt and Sonya Thomas announcing in her most recent site update that she does not expect to appear in the Wing Bowl, it appears that Joey Chestnut will be the only IFOCE member receiving a bye to Wing Bowl 16.

Do we know for a fact that Joey will attend? The way the IFOCE is going, they will likely demand a handsome sum of money from the WB sponsors to “allow” their cash cow hopeful to appear.

excuse me anonymous at 10:10am how do you know the top eaters dont give a shit about what you assume to be batman nonsense. I think you are a moron with no sense of humor and i also tend to believe that Humble Bob slighted you in some respect or maybe he finished ahead of you in a past contest . This might clearly clarify your dislike towards the man. By the way give your real name next time.

Humble Bob is the vest American eater in the IFOCE and he will be the favorite to win it all at both wing bowl and hot dogs as a follow up to his krystal near victory.
