    I enjoy this ranking system and think it is fair and accurate. I’m glad to see I’m top ten, as deserved. Who’s that Tim Janus guy that is creeping up on me?

    Well stated Rona. To say you instill sanity, compassion, camaraderie, and lightheartedness among competitive eaters is an understatement.

    Though it may not seem like it at times, I agree with you about 80 % of the time. Even when I don’t, I always look forward to what you have to say.

    You’re one of a kind and so much appreciated! 🙂

    Well, Nathan, at least the poll IS scientific, in that it has a formula, and is not based on subjectivity and/or bias. As such, it makes more sense to me than any poll where eaters vote for themselves.

    Oh, I forgot. I wonder if Pat or Sonya will be able to dethrone that #1-ranked US Male in clams later this month.

    any pole that includes the name Butiful Brian is alright with me

    To set things straight, the prospect of me being at the end of any pole needs to be discussed at length prior to contemplating that event.

    I can’t be more firm about this.

    WOW , #1 ranked! Something I never thought I would see in my lifetime. I look forward to chowing down on another sea critter on memorial day and maybe another upset. Who knows!

    Awesome ranking system Nate
