    This comment is about Krystals. I saw pictures from last week in Atlanta. What the pictures showed were 12 glasses all around BB. I see other eaters with 2 or 3. Why so many glasses. 32 ounce cups. 3 gallons of liquid. No one can drink that much in 8 minutes and eat Krystals. Did anyone bother to look into BB’s cups or any other eaters cups and see how many hamburgers they spitinto the cups to hide the debris? 12 cups was not all for drinking. Any more than 3 cups raises the question why. At Nashville and other upcoming ones, I ask who will check the cups for debris if anyone bothers?

    Well that wouldn’t be fair to Brian to all of a sudden start checking the cups, he just learned the secret and you are going to take it away?

    This comment is about a BB hater that basically has no life which is the case of most or all of the anonymous posters in this forum. They enjoy stirring the pot as to get a reaction from me. I feel obligated to respond because he or she is wrong. I was given two empty 20 or 24 oz cups for liquid. i requested one or maybe two additional empty cups because i had 5 12oz cans of iced tea , Each eater was also given three full cups of water which were placed in front of the empty cups. . We did not request the water, It was on the table before we started. Steak who was to the left of me, might have needed more empty cups because he had a gallon of liquid with his cooler. The guy to the right of me had three filled with water and i guess two empties. Do you think i bother checking for nonsense that seems to be so important to you? I never touched the water not even for sipping. Matter of fact i never sipped during the entire 8 min. . Call or email Brad Whal if you insist on being an asshole which you are. When they tallied up the totals Brad credited me with 24 but i pointed out to him the mush debris on the side of my plate which he saw as the equivalent of one full burger which was rightfully deducted from my total . He asked me “Brian im giving you credit for 23 is that ok with you” ? I said fine. That man is one class act . He actually asked if its ok with me? I dont remember a sponsor ever being as kind and courteous as this man. To answer your dumb question there was no debris in any of my cups . Just that debris on the side of my plate that i spit out . For a stinkin 23 burgers which has no bearing on wildcard or any card for that matter , i have no reason to hide a damn thing .

    I think the Nashville qualifier will be the most competitive of them all. It looks like it could be a nail-biter among Juliet, Juris, Erik, and Badlands.

    Personally, I give a slight edge to Juris for two reasons: 1) he lives in Krystal country, which gives him many opprtunities to practice, which he probably takes advantage of, and 2) I think he wants it very, very badly—-a bit more than the others.

    I look for Juris, Juliet, and Erik all to eat 42-47. Badlands will be somewhere in the hunt.

    Most of those were MY cups. I had 6. 4 with Lemonade, 2 with plain water. BB had 4 or less and was using Iced Tea. I keep my cups to the right, BB keeps them to the left, so it wound up being alot of cups mingled together.

    At the end of the contest he cleaned up all of his debris and placed it in a burger box. When the judge came by, BB presented him with the debris so that he could do the appropriate deduction. I dont know what the judges decision was. The judge was looking in the cups as he came down the table.

    I’m very proud of the accounting job that Krystals does at these Qualifiers!

    Spit it out? Doesn’t sound like an EATING contest to me.

    I was to be in Nashville but with over 5 dollars for gas, if you can find it and the 10 inches of rain this weekend, forget about it.
