Leader Board Update 07/13/09

// July 14th, 2009 // Announcements

We’re rolling into the second update of our competition and it looks like a whole lot of you have stepped up their digestive game. We’ve got a new top dog with an amazing time, toppling our number one contender from last week. We also have a number of new entrants into the top 20, all with incredible, borderline inhuman eating times. Before we move on with the list, I want to remind all of you that this is far from over, these are just the current standings as of July 13, 2009. You still have until August 15, 2009 to reach the top 20 or get a higher rank to ensure yourself a spot.

Edit: This list has been updated. Again. Thanks, guys.

At the very edge of our countdown are two 20th spot holders, with a time of 0:02:38, effectively giving them up to the 19th spot. All three of them are new to the countdown. From the Lipa Highway branch, we have RYAN “GLADIATOR” SANTELICES. And lastly, from this batch, we have MARWAN “HAGUPIT NG LATIGO” PATANAO from the Sterling branch!

Their time was good enough to have landed on 7th place had they joined last week. Unfortunately, if they want to climb that ladder, they’re gonna have to do better than that. All of them are very close to getting booted off from the leader board.

At 18th place, we have another new comer to the board, from the Burgos branch, with a stunning time of 0:02:35- JIERO “EL BAMPIRA” DRACKO! Only four seconds away from being taken out of the leader board, he can’t be sitting pretty. He’ll have to suck down more dogs in less time to get a comfortable lead. Hehe, suck down. Get it? Yeah, nevermind.

The next four places, 17th-14th, all have the time of 0:02:32. From the Commonwealth branch, give it up for GERALD “SUPER DYNAMIC” PODACA! And from the PCU branch, ALVIN THOMPSON “TOMMY GUN” TAN! Now, the two others from this four-way tie are interesting. What are the chances of two different guys who probably have never met, get the same time and are named MARVIN PROPA and the returning MARVIN TROPA? Coincidence? I think so, but a freaky one at that.

At 13th place is the first guy to remain within the top 20 leader board, but went through a significant drop. Formerly at 6th place, we have the guy who asked me to change his nickname because apparently, he doesn’t like to annihilate things, with a time of 0:02:29 from the Dagupan branch. Let’s give it up for KYLE “THE BEAST” DE GUZMAN!

At the 12th spot, with a time of 0:02:27. Also a returning leader board placer, from the Villamor branch, here’s EDWIN “LIGHTNING STRIKE” DUQUE!

Here’s what I like seeing. Here’s a guy who jumped back into the fray and landed an even higher rank than his last week’s performance. Formerly at 18th place but now at 11th, with a time of 0:02:26, from the One McKinley branch, let’s give mad props to YASKER “SUPER DRAGON” YU! His last leader board entrance was at 0:02:55. See this people? That’s dedication.

Another guy returning from last week’s leader board albeit at a lower place is the former 4th placer. Unfortunately, due amazing performances this week, PAUL ALMOND “NUTTY” REGALA has dropped to 10th place, still with a time of 0:02:25.

We have a new entrant coming into 9th place. Debuting with a time of 0:02:23 from the Dagupan 3 branch, it is no other than EMMANUEL “SHOTGUN” BALLESTEROS! He blasted his way into the top 10 on what seems to be his first go. Dark horse? Could be.

At 8th, 7th and 6th place, we have two leader board alumni and a freshman. With a time of a very symmetrical 0:02:22, we see the returning TONY “NINJA SKILLS” SHU and MICHAEL “JAWS” SAMONTE! Devouring his way into this three-way tie is the newbie, from the Madrigal branch, let’s welcome into the elite circle CYRUS “INTERSTELLAR” MADELAR!

Last week’s 1st placer is going to have to settle for 5th place this week, still at 0:02:09. I do have to mention, though, that I have been seeing this guy’s name a lot. This guy has at least four attempts that I know of. Four attempts. That’s something even 7-11 would be proud of. We thank you for your dedication, LEOPOLDO “BLACK HOLE” QUINTO, JR.!

At 3rd place, from the Pagsanhan branch, at 0:02:07, is ESTRELLA “MUNCHIES” VILLARAZA!

The next top three spots are all from a new breed of speed demon eaters.

Coming at 3rd is the surprise entrant update. He wasn’t included in the original list for some reason. He’s here now though. With a time of 0:02:00 flat, from the Channel 7 branch, we have SEAN OLIVER “DIGESTIVE FURY” MECLAT!

Amazingly breaking the two-minute mark, with a time of 0:01:58, is our 2nd placer. He came so close, but just fell short by that much. From McKinley Hills branch. He is known as JOHN PAUL “EL MACHO” ARAGONCILLO!

Now, at the very top of the world, as of 07/13/09, at 1st place, has an almost inhuman, unthinkable time of 0:01:56. I like to think that he just inhaled those hot dogs. He hails from the Sunny Brooke branch. The man of the week is RAYMOND “EXPLODING BAZOOKA” BAGONCIA!

0713092

Congratulations, guys! I’m sure you all deserve to be sitting on that board. Don’t get too complacent, though. You have to train rigorously. You never know when another guy might come and take up your spot or bump you off the leader board. Keep trying to beat the fastest time; there are no limits to the number of times you try anyway.

Same rule from last week: if you don’t like your nickname, tell me and I’ll change em’ up. Keep checking back here for updates, news and fun stuff!

hey kyle! are you even human? 1 mins 30 secs?? you’ve gotta be kidding me! that’s 18 secs per hotdog sandwich well i can eat a hotdog sandwich in 18 secs but man that’s 5 hotdog sandwitches! If that’s true then you’re the man!
Bim says:

July 20, 2009 at 6:03 PM

This is unofficial, but I have heard of someone doing 1:16. Not sure, though. Wait for the next update for it to be official.

And Ryan, we’ll give you your nickname next update if you’re still around!
Kyle Deguzman says:

July 20, 2009 at 6:37 PM

Yeah I made 1 minute 30 seconds for real. I’m waiting for the update actually. Took me time to practice though haha. My goal before prelims is to break that 1 minute mark I’m down for it. Its my weekend get-a-way. If there is a 1:16 then I want to beat it I LOVE competition muwhahaha
Kyle Deguzman says:

July 20, 2009 at 6:40 PM

Oh and if Joey Chestnut could do 2 hotdogs in 10 secs its humanly possible haha. You could do it too man just practice break that 1 minute mark
Af says:

July 20, 2009 at 8:09 PM

Aren’t you guys afraid of chocking? Don’t get me wrong I like this idea, and planning to join too.
Af says:

July 20, 2009 at 8:09 PM

*choking sorry
Ryan Santelices says:

July 20, 2009 at 9:20 PM

If you just have to stuff the hotdogs in your mouth, I think i can do 3 hotdogs in 10 secs. but you have to swallow it man! and freaking 1:16!!!! he can beat goose with that!
Ryan Santelices says:

July 20, 2009 at 9:21 PM

oh.. by the way… how big are you? i mean your weight and height. i’m a small guy.
Ryan Santelices says:

July 20, 2009 at 9:42 PM

@Bim: I’ll make sure that I’ll still be around. I’m working out on my time. haha! I planned on trying but i have no witness to accompany me. can I just pick a random customer in 7/11 to be my witness?
Bim says:

July 20, 2009 at 11:47 PM

Since you two guys are shaping up to be the two celebrity leader board members (well, two most active on the website), why don’t you two post videos of your training or actual time trials at 7-11? I’m sure your fans would adore it.

Once you upload the videos to youtube. Send over a link and I’ll post them here.
Bim says:

July 21, 2009 at 11:02 AM

@Af

I wouldn’t worry about choking. You’ll have a Big Gulp with you anyway. Thing is, if you’re nervous about choking, you’ll greatly slow down. If I were you, I wouldn’t worry about choking so much and just scarf down as much as you can.
Ryan says:

July 21, 2009 at 11:46 AM

@Af

never mind choking. if you think you’re gonna be choked, the manager of the store can do Heimlich Maneuver on you so you won’t die. LOL
Kyle says:

July 21, 2009 at 9:06 PM

@Ryan: I’m 5′7.5 I think and 190 Ibs last time I checked. I guess im a husky built hahaha. Ryan man if you could do 30 sec with 3 hotdogs, thats potential bro props to you. Can’t wait to see your next time man.

@Bim: I’ll think about uploading videos if I have time. I got school to worry about too cuz im a nursing student haha.
Bim says:

July 21, 2009 at 10:53 PM

@Af See, you don’t have to worry about choking. The Beast here is a nursing student! If he says it’s okay, it must be okay!
Ryan says:

July 22, 2009 at 5:08 PM

oh.. you’re a big man. way bigger than me. I’m 5′5 and weighs 71kg. I think I’m a little overweight. haha!
Ryan says:

July 22, 2009 at 5:13 PM

I mean 3 hotdogs only.. not including the buns
Ru says:

July 22, 2009 at 10:49 PM

Hmm, this is getting me all fired up. I really love a healthy competition. Aiming for under 1 min.. probably do it next Friday. Good thing I constantly keep myself in shape haha
Kyle says:

July 23, 2009 at 7:57 PM

@Ryan: Haha size doesnt matter (in competitive eating lol) so much though. I mean look at kobayashi and “The Black Widow” and what Bim posted about Nakasone. They don’t even compare to Joey Chestnutt but can eat just as much as him. Dedication and practice man. Oh hot dogs only well thats still fast though for eating hotdogs man. I had the same problem before with the buns too haha. Just keep working it man and try beating the one minute mark. Don’t forget to work on stomach expansion man speed is key but if you got a small space then that will slow you down surely. A lot lot lot lot of water (careful with water intoxification though),vegetables and workout.

@Bim: Bim when is 7-11 going to give you the update? I’m anxious haha @_@. I want to know if there is a better time so I can annihalate it Muwhahaha.
Bim says:

July 23, 2009 at 10:11 PM

@Kyle

I’m working on that right now, actually. You’re the second placer. No shame in that. You just have to remain in the top few spots to ensure a spot in the finals. That’s where the money is, bro.
Kyle says:

July 24, 2009 at 12:28 PM

Haha thanks for letting me know bro. Thats good though but still though I want to beat the 1 minute mark and work on my rhythm I’ll for sure be on top 5 though thats where I want to stay muwhahahhaha. Ima time it up tomorrow morning though ima pratice tonight. Thanks again man Peace
Ryan says:

July 24, 2009 at 11:03 PM

err… Someone please accompany me to 7-11! I need a witness to join! all my friends are very busy! damn.
Ryan says:

July 25, 2009 at 12:00 AM

hey kyle, be sure to burn all those calories that you gain through constant practice. you may win the competition but you wont win the crowd if you end up like a fatass. I think I’ll take up kobayashi’s routine at the gym. haha!
Kyle says:

July 25, 2009 at 1:43 PM

Haha most def man actually I work out 4 times a week switching from aerobic and anaerobic excercises. Mostly I work out with MMA circuits, really challenging. Its fun and I dont get bored with it cause I LOVE MMA haha. Actually I don’t eat a lot of hotdogs everyday either. Only on Fridays and Saturdays I practice with that. I just drink a lot of water and eat a lot of vegetables on weekdays. Whatever works for you Ryan, may the best man win. And good luck to your training. Peace Bro. Survive on the board and break the 1 minute mark
