    Do you people have a life outside of Eatfeats.com? Where is OJ . Did OJ die? Shows how pitiful most of you are and how BB.com means nothing to any of you. He started this CE blog stuff way before OJ Rifkin ever came into being

    What a disgrace Joe Larue lives in Cinn registered very early in the morning and never got a reply. Looks like he has been officially thrown out of the IFOCE

    OJ was a little late with these results, but s/he came through as always. Good coverage, OJ… what would we do without you?

    Agree fully with Mega except for one thing. A little late perhaps, but do we really think that the Wizard is on duty 24 hours a day? Fans expectations are sometimes ridiculous. No one pays for our entertainment. A novel could be written about the eatfeats phenomena, strange but true. OJ does have a life outside of eatfeats, he needs time to eat and perhaps even enjoy himself.

    He eats at the computer. And he pees his pants.

    OJ is mythically awesome. He probably has a team of people who hunts down CE news and insight just for the opportunity to say they’ve worked with the legendary OJ Rifkin.

    I have often wondered, I don’t see any advertising on eatfeats and you don’t have to pay to be a member, so how does OJ make any money off this site? Does he do all this work just for the love of competitive eating? If so that is truely awesome!!

    Yes, he clearly does it for the love of competitive eating or whatever other reason he has. Anyone who doesn’t like this can just not come here. Now why do people not like this? Well he is clearly in control and no one knows who he is. That being said, he usually just puts up links and information and doesn’t make judgments though one could argue that the judgements are made by what he chooses to post. It is his website. He can do whatever he wants. And in spite of the sometimes toxic comments here, this is the only place to find updated information overall about competitive eating. Sometimes you have to filter out the poisons and let things go. It is everyone’s choice to be here or not. There is nothing, absolutely nothing remotely selfish about what he is doing. Yes, eatfeats is a mystery in some ways, but with talent and discipline with computer skills, whoever is doing it is doing a bang-up job. If he were to suddenly go away, lots of fingers would be unhappy. And no one could get to beg him to return (or her or a staff). There is only an e-mail address. It is a pretty unusual arrangement.

    Easy on Juliet, this is yet another win she has over Janus. Wait, did Sean beat Janus too?

    janus wasnt at the contest. guess he would have had to pay his own way to this one.

    I agree Juliet ‘s total was really low for a Pro.She barely beat the walk ons by only a couple brats.

    Juliet should be dropped way down in the rankings

    What’s your hard-on (figuratively) with Juliet? Since you know so much, maybe you should go beat her next time. Everyone, including Joey, has an off day once in a while.

    Juliet still tops 80 % of the eaters in the IFOCE. She didn’t come too far from winning RM Oysters outright.

    My dad, mother, son, daugter, aunt, uncle, brother, niece, and nephew are on Seiken’s level. Juliet has very, very special talent, and personally I don’t think there’s another lady eater even close to her in the entire world.

    Nobody in the eating world makes a mess at the table like Juliet .

    Messy talent on Juliets part.She is the world record holder for messes

    Can there be a worse “off-day” than Escondido?

  38. Jacob said

    September 27, 2010 @ 4:16 pm

    No
    but if you string all the messes over several contests Juliet is very consistant at messes.

    I have watched Juliet up close at a contest and I could have had a meal with all the debris under her table.

    Why dont you lay off the girl ok? Has she ever said one bad word about anyone. No but you and the rest like to pick on the weak. Say what you just said to her husbands face

    September 28, 2010 @ 2:49 pm

    Jordon maybe no female, a male yes

    Carey a clear second but not the best

    Nred worst ever caught on tape

    Jacob correct

    Congo if it was a meal then you are a table ender with limitd capacity

    Nevr said a bad word the gloved one doesnt talk to much bad either, doesnt mean he aint the messiest eater. Can anyone from pizza contest say whether he through his gloves out to the people? Seems like for the past months he doesnt do that anymore. Could be he is afriad he may hurt someone with the shear weight?

    Juliet, like Sonya, has never said a bad word about anyone. But anyone who thinks Sonya and/or Juliet are weak is very off base. Even so, there is no reason to be hurtful if she does read here. Have no idea whether or not Sonya or Juliet ever checks eatfeats.

    I might be wrong, but I think virtually everybody associated with CE in any way, shape, or form reads CE Web sites like eatfeats and BB.com. And I think they also get hurt when lambasted on any site. It’s really big of them when they refrain from striking back on a public Web site.

    I think Sonya, Juliet, and a few others make it a point to strike back in a constructive manner: at the table.
