Sonya Thomas, Juliet Lee, Larell Marie Mele and Stephanie Torres are the current favorites to win four of the five prizes available in the Nathan’s womens division. Here are some possible candidates for the fifth female prizewinner who have done well in contests or challenges with a duration less than 15 minutes.

OJ why dont you register as a fifth possible entry? . Its obvious that you are female . Instead of speculating other females why dont you give it a try under your real name. For the record none of the names mentioned have the least bit interest in going to nathans. I know that for a fact

How about a dead person? Because it’s not inconceivable that a corpse could win money in the women’s division. It really doesn’t require much more than someone to you a qualifier and then to the airport to catch your plane to New York.

You don’t have to BE a competitive eater to enjoy the “sport.” Much like I love hockey, but can barely stand up on ice without falling.
Not only have I never claimed to be a competitive eater, everything fattening food I eat seems to go right to my hips and thighs. I’m not blessed with super metabolisms like Juliet and Sonya, and have to really count calories.
Three HDBs a month is about it for me. Instead it’s lots of tuna, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, protein bars, air-popped pop corn, fat-free jello, and Coca Cola Zero.
Oh, and lots and lots of water and cranberry juice, because I once had a kidney stone, and I don’t want another one of those suckers.

For the potential in Money, I don’t think you can rule out some gal from Japan making a trip. I just wonder if MLE would let her participate if she hadn’t preregistered and their past with Kobi. And of course the China qualifier might produce some dark filly.

April 28, 2011 @ 12:16 pm
While I will agree that there are several good/ possibly great female eaters out there then next issue is that NOBODY can compete at Nathan UNLESS they sign the Sheas Contract. And while they may catch a couple mediocre eaters who don’t know any better most of the eaters that have been named here know all about MLE and have chosen not to take part. For many the independent route is more appealing and the cash at Nathans might not be enough to sway them from what they have been doing.

This is just conjecture, but in a speed event the only Japanese lady with real speed seems to be Witch Sugawara. But since I’ve seen nothing on her lately, she might have dropped a gear or two, speed-wise.

I suppose I could…but I have this feeling a few women will come out of the woodwork and eat like 18 HDB or whatever to claim 5th place and surprise everyone. And who knows if IFOCE would want met here after all my criticisms of it. Plus I am not sure about signing a 3-year contract.
Stephanie, take a time out. You care WAY too much.
Without a doubt, I have to agree with you. I need to not be so hyper, lol!

A-12:33 It’s not about age. Are you that dumb!? If you are it’s okay.
For any world class competitor, regardless of the endeavor, if you get out of practice you lose a lot compared to other participants at the same level.
I can’t think of one top competitor who has taken a hiatus from CE and returned to perform at the same level or higher. Not one! Can you?

April 28, 2011 @ 1:41 pm
If a Japanese wanted to attend, they could shoot for the last qualifiers I believe in NYC and stay until the event in Coney. That would give them plenty of time to practice and get up to speed on dogs. I think Koby used to follow the same schedule when he lived in Japan.

Ronda we both know that Sonya could take years off and come back right at the samee level she is now. She never practices with food andor liquids. She would lose nothing over her break. Well she may go from a top 10 quickest hands in compeat to top 20, but she would still be able to eat.
As far as the japanesse eaters, I dont know much about them but what little I have read or seen. I cant comment cause I dont want to speak about things that I do not know about.

I was sorry to hear of Jessica’s retirement. She seems like a real sweet person. 🙁
Rhonda Evans said (Registered March 6, 2008)
April 28, 2011 @ 2:17 pm
EE, I think if anyone would be an exception, it would be Sonya. The reason I think that way is because from what I have seen she, like Pat, practices handling food all day long, which keeps up their hand speed. Her capacity probably wouldn’t suffer either, because she has stated that she has always had a tremendous capacity, which, incidentally, has further improved from when she first started.
However, other than Pat and Sonya, I think it would be a detriment for most of the top eaters to take a hiatus from eating. Other than that, as you say, most eaters could probably pick up where they left off after a couple of contests or practice runs.

Muscle has memory… For the normal person, if you don’t use, you lose it, but it doesn’t take that long to get back to the level you were before. Same hold true for bodybuilders and I’ve heard women say after their first pregnancy it’s easier on their body.
it’s when you start from ground zero and try to hit new limits does it require pushing your body past it’s normal genetic capacity. You’re body won’t change unless you force it to change, and that requires real pain.

Rhonda is it at all possible for you to refrain from commenting on every single comment that makes its way to this blog. It almost sounds like the Rhonda Evans show. You come off as an arrogant bully that not only has to have the last word but thinks her last word is the correct one. Then you go on about your diet . Who cares Rhonda? You seem to know everything about everyone in competitive eating but we know very little about you. I agree you yourself might not be a competitive eater but ithink you are more thajust an obsessed fan and someone very involved in the sport .

No, it is not possible Brian Seiken (or one of his two fans).
My question to you is why do YOU keep commenting here? If this site is so bad stay away. That’s not such a novel idea.
Addressing your concern, however, I could hardly care less about your opinion. I used to, and I used to enjoy reading your take on things. But that desire has been outweighed by my hatred of the tasteless, mean-spirited, get-attention-at-any-means tactics you employ. (I never hate people, only things they sometimes do.)
Anyone with any sense of decency knows I’m telling the truth and they agree with me, whether they say so or not. Some people are just too decent to risk hurting your feelings. I used to be that way, but I’ve about had enough. You simply don’t care.
I’m just getting started, so you might want to refrain from addressing this further. I could right a book in about 2 hours.

Hank/ Rhonda i will say this once and never again, stop bringing my name into this forum ok. I dont go on this site , The posts or comments dont interest me. You really think that oeople care what you have to say but they dont. I have spoken to eaters at contests and they think you are nothing more than a joke . They have no interest in your opinions. All that concerns them is your identity. Well thats been taken care of. I only post like im doing now , when someone brings to my attention that my name has been thrown around I dont care about you or what you have to say. I know who you are because when you posted on my blog sometime back i matched your IP with a biz card you gave me in atlantic city while you were playing black jack after the meatball contest in 2004. You can deny it all you want but its the truth. You are not a doctor or a teacher or whatever crock of shit profession you claim to be. You have a higher level of intelligence(writing skills) compared to others that post on here but thats where it ends. You have the same mentality as a conceited brat. If specific comments about you from others dont sit well with you you then tell everyone “this is my last post” only to return several weeks later like nothing ever happened. Do me a huge favor dont viist my website ok? I dont like you . I dont care how many nice things you have to say about me to placate the situation. Anyone that refuses to post their real name is a fake and phoney with something to hide. You are also annoying and irritating . Good day

1. Brian, send that business card back to me then, and PLEASE don’t reveal my identity. That would be a blow from which I would never recover.
2. Analyzing IP addresses is going to drive you mad. No, wait, it already has.

BB wow. Card from 2004, you are krafty. That would explain alot.
Like how Ronda thought WB 2004 was legit and WB 2005 was fixed. Buffalo was fixed for Badlands not when Sonya won. How crawfish was fixed when Dave won and Adriana tied not when Sonya won last year. How Sonya won peppers last year and Bertie was given her title.
I understand Ronda thinking all that cause he has his friends back and all. Doesnt make it true though. Just like Ronda making up that Sonya has the fastest hands in comp eat. How would anyone know that? Any cassual look at any video doesnt support this. Taker and Joe in Singapoor were quicker. Bertie in all foods is quicker. Bob and X spooning chowder had to be quicker. Juilet, Big B and Crazy obviusly are quicker.
Why Ronda has to lash out at you and yet claim the moral hi road is peculir. Rondank has every right do whatever. Why does Rondank complain about BB and allegged BB comments and then say BB could just stay away? I guess Rondank could just stay away if BB bothered herhim that much.

Exactly Everything Equal. Rhonda knows all about contest results and who spooned faster than others because she /he was there for the majority of Sonya’s contests. Now of course in order to make me look like an ass she has to cover her ass by denying that i know her real identity. (send the biz card back to me) Rhonda you cant bullshit a bullshitter ok? Its like trying to say you passed the polygraph when you failed it. Now just watch if a few more people side with me on this the next comment from her fake mouth “You know what im done posting here goodnight” Like a spoiled brat bully backed in a corner that cant take the heat” Well get the fuck out of the kitcen if you cant take the heat you FAKE ASS !

They’re not troublemakers, they don’t engage in conversation with people who are, and they respect themselves. That’s why they’re where they are and so on.

Look, if Brian wants to continue to bring up names of friends, family and loved ones of eaters particularly when they prefer to be annonymous, based on some crackpot theory, that’s is his perogative. Eaters are in the spotlight, but their friends, family and loved ones shouldn’t have to be subjected to that if that’s what they prefer. But let that be a warning to any all eaters out there, Brian is not a person not to be trusted around those you care about. I can assure Brian that Sonya’s friend is not Rhonda, and I’m sure Rhonda will verify this. What is truly unexplainable is that if Brian did have a business card of someone he has a problem with, based who knows what that goes on his mind, why doesn’t he call that person and settle the matter instead of going on this site. My only assumption is he doesn’t have the guts to talk to that person one and one, and it is he who wants to hide behind the internet for protection with his crazy ideas.

I mean if they are going to mention girls that ate 33 tacos, why would you leave out a girl that can eat a 6 lb burrito in reasonable time. I just remembered her feat and though that she was worth mentioning as a possible contender in a womens hdb division.
1/8th of a lb per hot dog. about 12 buns make a loaf of bread by volume.
I agree that hdb’s do not necessarily translate to volume or weight of other foods. One can eat over 3 lbs of some meats in a sprint but not nearly as many lbs of hot dogs, even without the buns.

The list was limited to women who have done well in contests or challenges with a duration of about 15 minutes or less. Two additional names have been added. Aubrey finished the B3 the second time in 59 minutes (I do not know what her first time was.)
Results have been added to the recent contest pages on IFOCE.com except the Wingstop wing contest. The only new result for the Las Vegas qualifier was Rich LeFevre’s fourth place finish. If Christine Kitchenmaster ate more than 10 hot dogs, she should bring it to the attention of the IFOCE in case there is a women’s wild card.
If “Hurricane” Katrina Klein can eat more than any almost any woman, that would probably put her stomach capacity around 10-11 pounds, which is the amount Stephanie Torres ate to complete the Hugilio pizza.
