December
The contestants continue to blicker over who is telling the truth and who is not. Guy has pulled the wool over my eyes. Eric has pulled the wool over both of our eyes?
As far as I can determine, both contestants have fully disclosed all beef consumptions when I have asked them to come clean.
Despite the fact that I believe both contestants when they tell me that they have revealled all "secret" log entries, they continue to suspect the other of deception.
So to ensure a clear playfield for the remainder of the competition:
1) All beef logs will be public from now until the end of the competition
2) All beef logs should be entered in a timely fashion (ideally 24 hrs)
In addition, to ensure that neither contestant can benefit from a secret log (if they possessed one) entries back dated prior to December will no longer be accepted.

Happy bloggin. Merry beef consumption.

My Hand is Forced
It has come to my attention that one of the BeefStakes competitors may have access to private logs of the other competitor.
The competitor in question refused to confirm or deny if they had gained access to the other competitor’s logs, so I must assume that the competitor has discovered an exploit.
Since one competitor knows that the other competitor is keeping a private log and the other competitor has all but admitted to figuring out that the other has a private log, it is time the the whole charade is dropped.
When first approached about the idea of a private beef consumption log. I gave my approval, but quickly concluded that a private log would unbalance the competition, so in the spirit of fairplay, I informed the other competitor about the presense of the secret log.
I assume the competitors will have a lot to say about this.
