    Sonya’s got it. She doesn’t need to post videos about herself, because others post videos about her. She doesn’t need to tie her shirt up and wear high heels on stage to look sexy. She’s sexy by being an incredibly, honest, and an endearing person. It’s called charisma. Koby’s got it too, and if I could bottle it I’d make a fortune. People are drawn to the rare people like Sonya and Koby, and this film shows why.

    Sorry I missed your birthday Sonya. Anyway, Happy (belated) Birthday!

    May you be involved in CE for many more years!

    Now that people are so used to you and Koby, CE just wouldn’t be the same without you two, and would suffer an identity crisis in either of you guys’ absence.

    Maybe the person responsible for posting this video should give Butifulbrian his props instead of taking and not crediting. The segment that shows Sonya refusing to shake Bob Shoudts hand at the 2006 carmines meatball contest belongs to Seiken. It is obvious he used a high end camcorder and copied it right off of youtube . Brian is the only person that has home recorded footage of that. The brief video shot of Sonya smiling is from the George Shea Sonya dream video in which he copied straight from youtube. Plenty of other video shots he stole without persmission. He’s an jerk with a video featuring uncopyrighted material

    I don’t know. I think “Stop Stealing” is the jerk for not giving the guy credit. The man’s not documenting research, and besides that, information posted on the Internet is pretty much up for grabs. There was no copyright symbol by any of the information.

    Besides that, I think the movie would have been even better MINUS the very pieces you’re bitching about—-the Sonya “Dream” video, as well as the video from the meatball contest.

    Stop stealing, you need to stop bitching!

    I don’t know if Butifulbrian should get props, but TigertheFrog should get props for making a great video. Awesome job, man! The sport needs more fans like him (or her).

    Stop stealing = Brian, and having been around for several years and I’m pretty sure it’s you, let’s respect the professionalism that went into the effort, editing, etc., particularly since Sonya didn’t directly particpate in this production. Let’s just call this a “Part II” to your “Black Pearl” tribute to Sonya. Now, I know you pride yourself on exclusive footage. But give the kid a break. He took a lot of “B” roll and stock footage (thanks in large part to you) and made quite an entertaining piece. Instead of just criticism, which can be helpful, why don’t you give him some advice? Too many people accuse you of being (crazy) self centered. Now here’s a chance to show us on EATFEATS how you would approach, develop, and tell a story when it comes to ce. Brian, I’d love to hear your honest critique of this film.

    He is not capable of giving an honest critique.

    I think all he had to do was credit Brian and this discussion would not be taking place now would it? Rhonda evans stop avoidinng the issue like you do with your fake name

    Joey has charisma too. Watching him keeps me regular.

    “Butifulbrian” can’t spell. OK. But it’s getting annoying. BB using anonymous accounts to make it seem like he his much more popular than he really is. Just like Dale Boone does. The saddest thing, however is that Beautifuck Brian (oops, did I misspell that? Not that BB would ever do something like that…) always had to use a dozen anonymous accounts to bring eatfeats down. Go away, Brian. You are a joke. Just like Dale Boone. Go jerk off to your own website.

    And I said “he His much more popular” on purpose. Not that Beautifuck Brian would ever understand.

    Don’t worry, BBJoke 1054, nothing can bring EatFeats down!! I would argue that it is one of the most influential fan-operated websites devoted to ANY sport. Is there a fansite for MLB, NFL, or NBA with as much clout or buzz as EatFeats? I don’t think so.

    OJ your google dependent site is pitiful to say the least. It lacks depth and is full of inaccuate ???? in your joke of an eaters database.. Brian requested that you remove his stats which are inaccurate , from your databitch base . God forbid someone google his name and they see the ???? like similar to the??? attached to your phoney identity. You are a laugh in itself BITCH, too scared to reveal your real name. Do you think Brian doesnt realize its you all along that has been responding back to his comments . You my faggot friend are the POS and your identity will be revealed Lebron James style ESPN spectacular before Labor Day. So try counting down on that you DICK. . You MY FAGGOT BITCH FAKE are one sorry Piece of sh– and i hope you die of a massive heart attack so that the competitive eating world can finally have peace and harmony restored to their lives and go back to the way it was before your corrupt site came along. I hope that someone is reimbursing you for all the wasted time you put into this sad excuse for a blog. You have no idea how much you are hated . No idea whatsoever. Continue on with your little snide ass remarks hiding behind seven different personalities when in truth it is YOU AND NOTHING BUT YOU. posting hate. . In closing WHORE BITCH the lord will find a way to punish you for your actions, Guess what BB.com is staying right where it is HA ! Start the countdown

    Good point Mega (and you make many). Eatfeats.com is the best site of its kind, south of the Northern Lights!

    If the one or two people who resent it would learn to channel that negative energy into something constructive, I bet they would be happier campers.

    Now I could have told you that. There is no way BB.com is shutting down. He loves to be miserable too much to ever stop. I do think eatfeats has the patience of a million saints to continue to allow him to keep posting such hate. Comment moderation must be incredibly time consuming for oj, time better spent giving us what we want to know, all about competitive eating. Seiken could do the same, but he chooses not to.

    Seiken, put up or shut up. You have the same Google tools as this website. Everything oj finds is available free. Show us at the table, show us your site is worth visiting, I do not care who is behind eatfeats. If anyone could have found out, it would have been done five years ago. The Lord must be looking down from competitive eating heaven shaking his head at who he has wrought.

    Think what you will, I am not whoever is doing this website.

    See … that’s what I’m talking about (see Seiken fan’s comments). Such comments should be banned from this site. True fans of competitive eating want to come here and read constructive thoughts, not selfish, mean-spirited trash talk.

    Such crap belongs in the abuse room, and Brian Seiken’s comments need to go there in a hand basket at Warp 10!

    OJ, we can all get along but because of your resentment towards me , by choice have decided to bring out the worst in people and you have partially succeded from alienating others from visiting my website by allowing these comments over the past few years. I hope you are satisifed in achieving what you set out to do all along and that is make me the laughing stock of competitive eating. I did not leave those hate remarks just to set the record straight. You created this monster now go live with it. Facebook has been made aware of your crap as well Have a nice day
