A page called “Sonya’s View: A Peek Inside the Web” has been started on SonyaTheBlackWidow.com. The initial column concerns Sonya’s relationship with the IFOCE/MLE:
Oftentimes when I visit various competitive eating- (CE-) related Web sites, regarding some of the differences between Major League Eating (MLE) / International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) and independently affiliated CE organizations, I ask myself where I feel I belong. That question was easily answered in the past, as no organization could have treated me any better than the most highly esteemed IFOCE — and the people in that organization — as they continue to be the best of the best!
Does that mean that there have not been challenges? No, not at all, as is the case with anything in life. But since life is about variety and broadening one’s experiences, I look forward to the possibility of new relationships and new challenges.
(From BeautifulBrian.com) Cookie Jarvis is upset that IFOCE used footage of him in the MLE DVD without requesting permission:
This is the last straw IFOCE! It’s no longer a joke and neither are our feelings. If someone requests an interview with us we have to first call the IFOCE and get their permission so they can profit at our expense. If the IFOCE wants to put out a movie with us in it they feel we don’t need to be told. Is that fair? NOOOOOOO!
I think its time for us to have a spokesperson on how we are treated and the events that our portrayed with our likenesses. I believe it’s also time for us to have input in what we are shown in. Maybe it’s even time for a class action law suit against the IFOCE because we wont take it anymore. This is an outrage!

The Record Holders Republic website describes its purpose as:
Record Holders Republic is devoted to world records, unusual stunts and/or feats. Created by record holders for record holders, it’s goal is to provide a place where other record holders can point to their accomplishment on the world wide web and at the same time display their accomplishment with an attractive Official World Record Certificate.
Record Holders Republic is expanding with new inquiries and submissions on a daily basis. Just recently the International Federation of Competitive Eating (www.ifoce.com) has added their extensive data base of world eating records.
Two competitive eaters appear on the list of top record holders: Peter Dowdeswell with 51 records and Sonya Thomas with 23.
This BBC article says Peter Dowdeswell has raised £4,500,000 (about $9 million ) for charity in his eating career.
TV8Ch reports that Gal Sone’s appearance on “kinsuma” last Friday received a 22.8% audience share. A 2ch commenter believes this is an all time record for a Japanese competitive eating program, breaking the mark of 22.7% set by Food Battle Club 2 in 2001. The program was not a contest; Gal Sone underwent a through examination to determine what enables her to eat so much and stay thin.
22.8% 21:00 – 22: Masahiro’s 48 TBS Nakai [kinsuma]! Disturbance ten thousand height special!!
