    Got word that there were some serious problems with the weighing. One of the eaters trays weighed a lbs more after ten minutes of eating than it did before the contest. Not sure what the outcome will be.

    Dave Goldstein is the only person deserving of being called a U.S. Male. All the other so called men who ate need to retire to let a woman finish ahead of them. Juliet was dominat3ed like a woman should be and I give her credit for knowing her role.

    Okay. Here. Let me try: Congratulations, US Male, that others got screwed. Way to go.

    The IFOCE needs to address the issues that led to these results. US Male wouldn’t have finished in the top 5 if the results were straight. There were grievous errors on a scale way beyond anything that has ever happened in a weighed contest.

Isn’t he the best in the world. Look at how much money the best in the world make at other sports. what a shame! After all isn’t this major league eating. Minor league would be much more appropriate.

    Peanut butter brings up a good point. It has to happen to one of the elite eaters for them to take notice. I can just imagine if Janus was consistantly out of the money . I guess he would find another hobby besides competitive eating. It is quite obvious the reason for the bitching is because he was out of the money. Pleezzzze spare me on the expense factor. How much has he made in the past years to cover his expenses not to mention how many times his airfare and hotel costs were taken care of by the sponsors.

    I wasn’t there and haven’t had time to speak to the eaters about how the weighing went down and such – and I’m sure it was a confusing situation – but it seems to me like a crawfish eating contest is really more of a crawfish peeling contest. Eating is secondary to getting the meat out of the shells – like an oyster shucking contest. Just because his capacity isn’t as tremendous as some of the top ranked eaters he beat out, US male very likely could have just been the best at extracting meat from those little buggers and had his technique down. I don’t know why people would be so quick to assume that he didn’t deserve his win! Good job on your first title Dave!

    Kevin it’s actually quite simple, it defies the laws of physics to extract that much meat from a 10lb tray, seriously it’s that simple, or as simple as Sonya ate the tail, shell and all and couldn’t yield that much.

    Important note pertaining about Juliet Lee. She’s a CHEAT, without a debris food she had no chance anyhow! She’s the last person to complain about any rules or any judging. She should definitely refrain from speaking out on judging/weighing/etc…it’s obvious from prior contests that judging has awarded her more wins than she has actually deserved. Example- Krystal qualifier and Ribs to name a couple

Thus, any comments pertaining to his motives being of a negative stature are absolutely incorrect. He’s top 5 for a reason…he’s just that good. A positive person will reap positive results.

    I am not hiding “I.” After my job and family business, it is computer time. I know what went down and there are legit gripes, I don’t deny any of that, HOWEVER, I ate my ass off and am confident I did very well. This was not about capacity so every eater had a chance. I’d do it again tomorrow and and I’ll bet anything I’d be in the top 3 AGAIN. Call Ryan Nerz if you want to hear what eaters were flying through their trays. Top eaters can have bad days too and boo-hoo if it angers them for not cashing for once (even if it’s for the wrong reasons)

    Eaters lost alot of time standing up for this event. Why waste time drinking water; I drank none. Our area was free of any detritus on the table and floor and those that were around me can vouch. Why am I at fault for being the winner, because I am not top 10? I may or may never win a contest again but shit happens, so continue to keep hating if it makes you feel better. This is not the first time nor will it be the last that weights are questioned.

    I am done here. Time to go shit some more shells as well

    First and foremost…..if an eater left his/her tray(s) and didn’t watch them being weighed that is THEIR fault. I learned that lesson the hard way on an occasion or two. Sure you want to give the judges some room to complete the task but you as an eater also have a right to be there to ensure that the scales are tared out correctly before each weight is tallied. Someone inexperienced with weighing with that particular scale could mess it up easily. I have actually had my food reweighed when I thought it looked “wrong”. I also ALWAYS count the number of food items if it is a number tally to verify my initial plate counts are correct. Second……the IFOCE heads who were present should have ensured that the weighing was handled correctly. They should realize that the integrity of their organization is at stake and that means they need to do some legwork to ensure a level playing field with everyone.Third……since crayfish are a technique driven food item it is ENTIRELY possible that a well practiced pro with a lower ranking could beat a higher ranking not so practiced pro in this type of contest. This is especially true since it really wasn’t a capacity food item or contest duration requiring outlandish capacity to win.Fourth……There definitely ARE some weights on that scoring sheet that didn’t make ANY sense at all. It leans to there being a weighing issue for some of the eaters. Some of the numbers looked rational while others were far below pedestrian. There were seasoned pros at that table……they know what it takes to win……it just all leads to a bunch of head scratching.The decision was final…..congrats U.S. Male. Feels great doesn’t it. Enjoy your moment.Fifth…….quit bad mouthing Janus…..he has worked his ass off to get to his ranking. He has always been a stellar guy who is great for CE. Anyone who takes pot shots at him needs to chill the hell out.Crayfish are tough little bastards to eat quickly……..tasty, but damn hard to slam down by the bucket full.

    Okay, First off Congrats to Dave on his first win! well i was next to US Male and he had a very fast consistant speed the whole time, I knew he was doing good so i cheered him on for the last minute, but no one is talking about my record (i even think i beat Juliets record) i set a new world record for negative pounds eaten in an event, so im proud of that record,lol yeah so shit happens, it was a fun event,even with all of the controversy (i thought it was funny to tell you the truth,but thats my warped since of humor) – funny thing that happened while waiting for the contest was Micah prank phone calling people in the waiting area,that guy cracked me up and Tim Janus is a awesome dude,him and Crazy Legs are class acts (by the way thanks for the desserts Legs) and i got to finally meet Badlands, one of the nicest guys on the circuit for sure – bottom line is its fun to go hang out with all of these ppl, its like a mini vacation, i probably spent about 400 bucks to go and im not bitching at all, life is to short not to have some fun every once and awhile otherwise you might as well sit at home and rot and wait to die gracefully or go chase little boys and put rainbow stickers on your car like Luther’s Nut Gobbling ass – Have A Nice Day 🙂

    Congratulations to Dave, Sonya, and Badlands on finishing 1, 2, 3.

    I have nothing against Ryan Nerz personally, and I like his writing. But I cannot think of a single contest that he MC-ed where there wasn’t a tie or major counting/weighing concerns or both. Maybe that’s just a hell of a coincidence.

    Regardless, there is a loss of control in officiating/judging in the IFOCE. I personally think it’s because the IFOCE itself thinks CE is a joke, but at the expense of eaters, who invest their hard-earned money, time, and enthusiasm for these events.

    Much of the enthusiasm I have had over the years has waned severely. The fun meter is just about at zero. At best, the totals recorded in most contests ase suspect. At worst they’re totally inaccurate. It’s a sad state of affairs and something needs to be done about it.

    On a final note, I thought it was really funny reading Juliet’s Write Now section, That’s all I’ll say on it, except for what goes around comes around.

    I have nothing against him personally, but Ryan Nerz is a threat to society. I heard he weighed himself this morning and it came out wrong. I mean, he really must be stopped – he is clearly out to get people. Forget the recession, THIS is the thing that needs to be addressed by Congress. This guy needs some kind of stimulus package. Every contest he emcees ends in the most stunning controversy. I am beside myself that he is allowed to keep emceeing, let alone breathing the same air as us. Shocked and appalled.

    USM,

    That I know of no one is denying how fast you ate. What is in question is how you can be so arrogant as to think that you ate 4 pounds of meat in a tray that cannot yield more that 1 1/2 pounds. Maybe you got lucky and had a tray with a lot of water? Oh wait, you said and I quote “Why waste time drinking water; I drank none.” , if you drank no water from the vessel provided then how did you manage to get so much meat? It’s a simple answer it’s because you didn’t, you couldn’t have. Unfortunately that concept will be lost on you because you are either just not intelligent enough to comprehend it or to stubborn to realize it’s not possible.

    It sounds like the less you really ate, the more you got credited for eating. It also sounds like those who may have been wetting their food, forgot that the added water weight to the plate may have messed up the whole deal.
    This makes sense, when you think about our lady’s un-ladylike approach to eating. Water, food, shells flying everywhere on her plate. This also makes sense when the mailman says he didn’t dunk or drink. He may have won based on that strategy. his dry plate=a big win

Third the only thing US Male did drink was the crawfish juice that was all over the bottom of the trays (yuck) – if some of you people quit bitchin about everything and try and be more positive about things, then good things might happen for you too, now if you will excuse me i have to go work Slipknot tonight and Flogging Molly tomorrow, Have A Nice Day 🙂

    Hey Tom Riddle (or whomever you are), you dope, I said I did not drink any WATER (H20) which I did not. YES, I drank the nasty filthy brine from both my trays. Perhaps I should of said that since it was so important to you. It (the brine) was weight removed from my tray that may have shot me up to the top. Whatever it takes, right!
    I agree that 5 lbs of crawfish meat alone is most likely impossible. Maybe you should of just asked instead of assumed. I am the farthest thing from arrogant. Can you comprehend that?

    #1. Congratulations to US Male, he delivered. I know almost all of the eaters that all of you “anonymous” posters aspire to be. I must say that the person that is the most excited and proud to be a competitive eater is Dave Goldstein. He works hard, practices, and loves being a pro eater.

    #2. I was at this contest and there were definately discrepancies. No reflection on Ryan, but this particular event was an equal opportunity cluster f*#k! As per the judging, everyone was treated the same.

    #3. I also was in the greenroom before the competition. Everyone was laughing, hanging out, and reunited for the first year’s event. There was much love in the air. And yes, Wing Kong was pranking some of the eaters, even Ryan. Note, I too was a little scared of Boss Hog until introducing myself. Turns out he is a gentle giant!

    #4. Shocked and Appalled – very, very funny about Ryan Nerz weighing himself wrong!

    #5. Anon 9:41, shit, I have traveled extensively as a fan, a friend, and a helping hand to these CE events. I have never met a group of people that was more warm and accepting than all the eaters mentioned in this article. It is my pleasure to spend my hard earned cash just to “hang out with these guys!” Oh yeah, and by the way, I do have a big flat screen TV! Come by anytime to watch it!

    #6. And to my newest buddy SyKoBOZO, let this be a huge lesson to you. In future contests, keep your manhood in the circus tent and out of the debris pan while being weighed!

    Last, and most important:
    #7. RICK THE MANAGER was on the 6ABC news clip as much, if not more, than the people in the contest! Thank you 6ABC! (see link above)

    Hey Rick, i appreciate you talking about my manhood and all, but if it weighed 5lbs i wouldnt be doing this type of eating ( but that was funny when you said that after i weighed my tray) – oh yeah my porn name is Hugh G. Rection, speaking of erections, i hope Sherri is doing well and for anyone who hasnt been to the East Coast, its a blast and everyone is totally cool – just got home from the Slipknot show, it was brutally amazing – i talked to Sue (US MALE’s wife) and she said he has slept naked with that big check between his legs for 2 nights straight so far,lol H.A.N.D 🙂

    I forgot something, US Male should thank Phil “The Natural” Bertoletti for standing in on a ton of fan interviews while USM was either gambling or in the bathroom! Hey Phil, or Jeff, whatever they call you, it’s a good thing you carried that big check around before USM made love to it (as per SyKo)!

    So basically, it seems Dave ate like a ravenous wolf and his total was probably correct, as were Sonya’s and Badlands’. Unless someone ate more than them, and got screwed, it wouldn’t matter. If Dave really drank the juice, which is heavy compared to a fraction of an ounce per crawfish, he deserves the win. But it’s too bad there’s controversy. I think Dave will do well this year and prove the nay-sayers wrong.

    If the results were correct Dave would n’t have finished in the top five. This is a damned joke and its not even worth having these contests. Dave cant even qualify for the hot dog finals krystal finals or any other kind of finals but i dont blame him if he mistakes are made in his favor but id quit going if i were many other eaters unless their rich. This is an upset alright and its most of the other eaters who shoud be upset for wasting their travel money showing up for nothing.

    He doesnt have the capacity to even hold five lbs let alone do it in twelve minutes. He cant evenm eat four pounds of wings in twelve minutes or at least he never has and theres more meat on them and their a lot faster than tiny crawfish. Bullshit and do you think he wuld still be hungry for pizza as he said in his interview. I think that tells the story right their. Crock a shit.

    No Dave wont prove the naysayers wrong at all and this was a once in a lifetime butiful brian moment that unless the judges screw up this badly again will not happen for ten years.

    anony 4:53 ,4 and 5 it is obvious you are one and the same but that is not the issue. The issue is very clear that your sentence structure is horrendous. Did anyone ever tell you that bad grammar can sink you worse than bad breath? The run on sentences are enough to make me gasp. Did you get your education in Hootersville?

    okay unless you were there please stop assuming shit, right after the contest we were all talking about how the public would re-act and so far its been right on the money, as far as the totals i got shafted the worst out of anyone and im not bitching, shit i had a good time – in fact after the contest Nasty Nate and Wild Bill kicked my ass again at the buffet, lol – Anon 4.53 , FYI most of us ate right after the event, Crazy Legs ordered like 6-7 desserts and we all ate those, then some of us went to the buffet. alot of times about 30 minutes to an hour after an event, people are saying they are already hungry again ,Have A Nice Day 🙂

    Forget those naysayers Dave. Youll prove them wrong when you kick it up on July 4 after you beat the girl again in the Philly qualifier.

  85. sorry for Juliet.....NOT said

    March 1, 2009 @ 12:06 pm

    I feel sorry for Juliet Lee. I read her write now page and I feel sorry for her. The judging was not fair…not fair

    Sounds like Nncy Kerrigan when Tonya Harding had her kneecapped.

    But wait. Flashback Reminds me of Broadway At The Beach when she cheated and took the first prize away from Badlands or The Natural.

    By the way….Who was MC at BATB …. Was that not Ryan again. Maybe not.

    There are other contests I could mention where Juliet had so much debris and won….Could be some of this debris made its way back and helped her “grow crawfish”???

    Juliet Lee….I feel sorry for you ….. NOT What goes around comes around…..Juliet is not the best and her true side is coming out……Also The top three are pre-determined long before the contest. If you think otherwise, just say so.

    Now someone has kneecapped Juliet like she has kneecapped so many others.

    I will give Sonya one thing. At least she had enough sense to recognize a tr=ue champion on her web page in the great U.S. Male on winning in crawfish. Cant say much more.

    Do you ever wonder why Crazy Legs Conti refrains from posting on this site? His home appears to be the MLE message board where he feels comfortable posting comments equivalent to the length of a paperback novel. We figured that all this time there must be some message board where he voice his opinion on the crawfish eating contest or for that matter any other events. One must admit that his intelligence is far superior than sme of the morons that post on this site. On the down side it appears that he is for the most part responding tohimself on MLE because the readersip on this site outweights the MLE message board by a very wide margin. Crazy Legs decision to refrain from posting on this site just proves that he is afraid to mix it up with anonymous posters that have no fear in printing the truth and nothing but the truth so help them god !
