    I love Koby’s hair!

    The talent level that these two guys are on is decisively above that of anyone else. I see at it like this (looking at an assortment of foods):

    – Top rung: Joey and Kobi
    – Second rung: Matt Stonie, Pat B,
    – Third rung: B.O.B, Furious Pete, Jamie, *Miki, Sonya, Tim
    – Fourth rung: Aaron, Adrian, Juliet, Molly

    * I’d give Miki a bullet, because if she improves further she can move up with Pat and Matt B.

    It is truly the fans’ loss that these two food warriors cannot compete against one another.

    Given dunking, Joey is the best by a whisker. Take away the water and Koby is better by a larger margin.

    If Nathan contest wants to redeem themselves in the eyes of ESPN and go live with the contest instead of tape delay , they should think about doing something like this next year.

    Furious Pete 4th rung Maybe not even 4th 5th most likely Molly 3rd rung Tim second rung just my opinions and why did Pete not do z burger I think he didn’t want to lose to Jamie and Bertoletti

    watching Kobi has more poetry and grace than watching chestnut scarf down the dogs. He is also in much better shape. I go with kobi in the split screen

    Kobi makes eating an art. He also eats cleanly. He did get a bit less clean when Joey and Bertoletti came around, as did most all top eaters, because you can’t stand by and let others have an advantage of messy eating and not get penalized. MLE’s lack of rules has given way to all eaters eating sloppily. Just look at the eaters clothes after a contest. That will tell you a lot.
