    This guy looks a little like badlands booker The article mentions the doctor saying that hes not sure if hes a competitive eater or an amateur I think its safe to say that he is not a major league eater The only black major league eater is Gideon oji To date since its inception there have been only 3 black eaters in MLE Charles Hardy Booker and Oji I am amazed that Booker has not experienced any major setbacks with his health as far as being admitted to the hospital after chugging down gallons and gallons of liquid unless he was but doesnt want anyone to know about it

    Interesting did not know chestnut plays poker If he invested time studying the game he can make slot of money but he has to play on a frequent basis to see the results Certainly beats blackjack

    Sonya Thomas was a huge black jack player I could attest to that playing at the same table with her at the Tropicana hotel in atlantic city before and after the meatball eating contest in 2005 & 6 She would win alot and she would lose alot She must have lost quite a bit prior to and after the 2006 contest when she came in second to Bob Shoudt she won $1000 . She probably lost the money she won at the black jack table because she was slamming her hotel room door left and right while poor hank her bf tagged behind her like a lost puppy I was in the room next to hers . Another time Dave Goldstein was playing BJ in a different hotel Borgata and she took a seat at the same table not knowing he was there. He said hello to her then she ran away

    I hope Sonya is all right. It is strange that no one seems to have a minimal sign of llfe for her.

    I too hope that Sonya is all right. I had really hoped that her work and MLE winnings would make it possible for her to achieve her dream of opening a franchise. “In 2005, Thomas earned more than $50,000 in prize money and made extensive media appearances.” From her Wikipedia page. I no longer see her website. If she is still the manager at a Burger King, she should be reachable to interview. Has anyone tried, I wonder.

    when she reversed in her hand DQ in the 2018 nathans finals she called it a career Too much sudo

    if you look at sonya nathans stats from 2003 -2010 she was at a handicap because there was no woman contest and she was forced to compete with the men When the woman contest started in 2011 she won 3 straight years until sudo came along and won 5 straight over sonya in several of those contests sonya stood her ground and finished 2 or 3 hotdogs behind her Sonya would have won 11 straight titles if they started the womans contest in 2003

    Here is the last archived version of Sonyatheblackwidow.com from 2023

    The site apparently went five years without any changes until it was dropped.

    i swear to you the year she won the trop meatball contest $2500 beating chestnut and shoudt in 2005 a year prior to losing to shoudt she was in the best of moods at the black jack table. She was winning a shitload of cash and was trying to urge the eaters in the contest to play at the same table The asian women at the table didnt know who she was nor did they care They were too busy argue with the dealer LOL

    i was at the contest where she supposedly lost to shoudt very very questionable Booker was the judge and was hesitant to declare a winner George Shea was heard screaming at him ‘ I need you to make a fuckin call”
