Updated 9/17 5:03 pm newsok.com has an article & gallery of the contest. The article links to beautifulbrian.com for the video of Pat Bertoletti’s ice cream record. The okra was in bite sized chunks, which probably plays to Sonya’s strengths since a lot of chewing was not required.
Updated 9/18 9:05 am Lahunta has some pictures, a video and a contest report in her myspace blog

Sonya Thomas claims that her email acct is experiencing technical difficulties and if you sent an email in the past two weeks she has not been able to read it. How would we ever know the difference? She hardly ever responds even if its working right . I would think that you have a better chance of hitting megamillions jackpot than getting an email response from Sonya. Lets give the girl a break she does have a very busy schedule

I would just like to say in person sonya is on of the sweetest people you could ever meet I competed against her in the fried okra eating contest in Okc and was impressed. The only thing I did not agree with was the fact the only pay the top 3 eaters and there was 3 pros. I finshed 5 with 2 pounds so only 1 amateur finshed in front of me and we both left with a full stomach of cold okra and a t-shirt. lol it would be nice if they awarded the 3 pros and 3 amateurs.

I was 17th at Okra and I agree that top 3 is bull____. They should pay the top 17 spots. I think 17th should have gotten $10,000.
