    MIcah 1st.
    Yasir 2nd,
    John Russell ( less wings, but cleaner eating than next three) 3rd,
    Super Paul 4th,
    Andrew Owens 5th,
    Pi Guy Steve Martin 6th

    John had 47, but cleaned them spectacularly, Pi Guy, Andrew, and myself were all at about 57….4th place sucks!!! Damien Boykin couldn’t make it, he needs everyone’s best wishes…having some doctor troubles this week

    Man, the system, whatever it is, is confusing. It seems like they have changed it for every contest. This time, we THINK they used a combination of wings left on your plate, plus weight of debris in plate.

    I had heard a few rumblings about how it was judged from a few other eaters, After Sam explained the process (at this contest) it seemed the best way to go about it. I would prefer 5 pound trays, yes. Maybe the sponsor doesn’t want that. But the way it was done seemed fair to me. For all of you who say “you would agree because it worked in your favor”. I would have agreed with it if I hadn’t won, if it’s not 5 pound trays then this way seems to be as close to fair as we can get. I hope for 5 lb trays at the finals…

    He already said that he would feel that way whether or not he won.

    I would expect an eater with a name like Wing Kong to rule the Wing circuit. He is a beast.

    The way Hooters is going, given the joke with which that calculations are made, it is very likely that none of the top wing eaters will win. Somebody like Legs or Kong will win it all.

    Wing Kong won…there wasn’t much doubt about that…the biggest “mess” seemed to be for third where a bunch of us were clumped together….all I will say is, based on our contest, eat a lot, clean them well, and throw your debris anywhere but in the weighing bucket….John Russell ate less wings, but he was super clean, and that pushed him passed three of us that I thought had him beat….John is a good guy that has competed for a few years, it was nice to see him get some $$$. It was also nice to see about a zillion Hooters girls parading around all over the place! YOMP!

    Question, with only one Hooters qualifier left (that I know of) is Joey going to do the qualifier in Miami? I haven’t heard anything on the issue. Does anyone know? Thanks, beforehand.
