For Male Rookie of 2011, what about Ng Chin Sheng, who won the men’s division for Singapore locals during the VP Biggest Eater finals in Oct (http://www.ifoce.com/news.php?action=detail&sn=871)?
I’m not sure if he is considered a rookie or not, but this is the first time I’ve seen his name.

I’m curious if there are enough pair-candidates to offer a team of the year choice. I realize that outside of team pizza challenges, there really aren’t too many team events in CE. That could be a direction for growth of the game in 2012.

I’ve done three team pizza challenges successfully with Matt Cohen in 2011. I’d like to work toward establishing more varied challenges/contests that involve teams or relay elements.
Matt participated in the Vermonster eating contest in San Diego that WAS a team event, but because of the date and time couldn’t find partners and he ended up participating alone. Cohen still beat out 2 four-man teams singe handedly and finished in 2nd place. LOL.

I would like to nominate my self as a candidate in the “challengers” category. I know the others listed in this category are far more skilled than me, although I dont do very much self promotion I’am a very active CE. In 2011 I’ve done 26 other challenges besides team challenges. I didn’t finish them all the first time 1even took me 4 tries before I completed it! The first challenge I ever did was the broken yolks “iron man omelette” (november 2010) I have yet to finish it but I will be giving it my 3 try here in a couple weeks! MY NAME IS MATT”SWEET TOOTH” COHEN and I AM A COMPETITVE EATER!!! bring it 2012!! HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL…..

Dear All,
Thank You, I would like to be considered a candidate for the Rookie of the Year, 2011, in the Women’s catagory,. There are several beautiful women, and many great feats ahead . . . . I am a indeed a newcomer, yet have been a long-time admirer of the sport and have long dreamed of joining you one day. That day come last year, when I officially met up with the beautiful Stephanie Torres, Adrian Morgan, Rich “The Locust” LeFevre, Sean Gordon, his dad, and many others. Since then, I have had the am privilege to have eaten along side, and with, Matt Stonie, Wells, Conti, and Brian the “Big Sexy” Beard, who generously coached me from his plate, and met the great Cardbpard Shell and Sonya Thomas !!!
I am the Rookie of the Rookiest !!! Looking forward to this year, and You are all AWESOME !!! Go Big Eaters !!! . . .
Best to You,
Christine
