Top 10 women’s poll choices

Since a non-existent women’s rankings have been cited by Suzilla, I thought I would set up an actual (albeit flawed) one. A list of current choices for a unified (will include IFOCE & non-IFOCE) North American women’s top 10 follows after the jump. Women were included in the list with the following conditions:

  • They have competed in a public eating contest with a known result in the past two years
  • They have another public competitive eating event (does not have to be in the past two years): another contest, qualifier, eating challenge or stunt / training session

In the comments, please list others (who meet the above criteria) you think should be listed. List members who do not want to be in the poll will be removed upon request. People who have announced retirement were not included. (I will add them if requested.) Voting will start some time next week. Read the rest of this entry »
