Personal one! we all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God and are on our way to hell already but God So loving sent Jesus Christ to pay for our iniquity sin so we can get right with God and go to his kingdom You cannot earn ur salvation by doing works or being a good Pearson because our Good deeds are like filthy rugs to God this is what you need to do Repent of ur sins be truly sorry for everything you done change your mind turn away from sin and sinful things and Trust in Jesus Christ that he died for you. this is what sin is For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ its not what we do its what God already done for us Jesus already paid for our Sins you just accept him as your Lord and Savior confess him before people that he is ur God and Savior and you will be saved Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son Whoever Believes in him shall not Perish but have Everlasting Life.

Joel, you are a class act! Making us Canadians proud. You handled that snake with grace. Keep it up, young brother!

[@lasvegaskenoslots470]

It almost looked like they were trying to disqualifie you so a Nigerian would win but I'm glad they did the right thing.. Nailed it..

[@StandWatie1862]

That's exactly what they were doing

[@tinnusad]

The were trying to. So fucking sad.

[@pyrojkl]

in b4 there is a rule against pro eaters next year :)

[@TheTruthPenguin]

Was no one trying to do that. They all told the guy the same thing, it wasn't in the rules not to. It was the contestant that kept bringing it up and he turned to the judge's table to complain about it. They were explaining to him that it was okay, not trying to get Joel out. Smh

[@JohnDoe-nw6nr]

Stop it. They literally said it's not against the rules to have your own water when that salty competitor complained multiple times. SMH

[@soldier4christ111]

Humility in this video by Joel is very appreciated and truly a nice thing to see.

[@JoelHansen]

Thanks for watching !

[@nyquil350]

This guy probably needed the money too if not more and had to compete against a competitive eater (a ringer)

[@oluyemisidaji1109]

I am mighty impressed by your demeanour as well as your love for food! I subscribed immediately to your channel!

[@scruffy5812]

Joel is so well collected. Like he’s been in this situation a hundred times with other people trying to be an obstacle, my favorite competitor eater!! Keeps cool with a belly full of fire 😂

I would have never known he was so open and genuine if I didnt watch this video. Thank you Joel.

Joel, you are a true gentleman. This is the only vlog that got under my skin. " Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."

I was so upset. I would say this has to be one of his best yet irritating videos. The guy steals the water & tattle tale like a child just to lose...stay humble my friends; stay humble

[@sharkyjones8432]

Despite the adversity and remarks made, you collected yourself and did the challenge. At the end when the commentator said you didn’t look like you belonged at the table, you handled yourself well to an open challenge that did not involve anything other than your eating skills. Nicely done Joel!

[@yolandawhite51]

Well It could be about how he dominates them on eating capacity.. Its really vague , but I do think its the MC's fault to bring such vague sentences.. But then again, maybe she was just not so well versed on how controversial that topic is nowadays..

Not only did he steal Joel's water and tried desperately to get him kicked out of the content he also pulled the last bowl of rice in front of him so Joel couldn't have it while he still was eating a bowl of rice. Dude was mad shady.

[@scoper7897]

If this was in europe he would be banned from the competitions. The fact that hes stealing someone elses water and sabotaging when he sees he cant win in legit way is just so bad...

[@dogewow757]

Dude you are a class act in everyone of these videos. Not very common nowadays. Love the content man.

[@kei0kusanagi]

That's why Joel is such an awesome person...he knows he doesn't need to say anything or even confront the guy even though he felt like he wanted to. That single contestant who tried to get you disqualified, doesn't make the event or the people bad, it's just him because he wanted to win. It's funny how he complained that you brought your own water but he drank your water hahaha, keep up the great work joel!!!!
