    some of these newbies are delusional aren’t they. Wu has 34 world records, Scott Bickel is gonna win Nathans next year because he ate 5lbs of mashed potaoes and is 1 for 3 in eating challenges, “242 wings are 16lbs”, Excel thinks 10″ make a foot…

    Ignorance is bliss…

    I have never seen a more thorough documentation of anyone’s challenges than Stephanie Wu’s. She would be a good technical writer as well.

    I think Steph’s blog is well done, I find it more informative then entertaining though. Being from Cali I appreciate all the pics of the challenges she does. If this is Stephanieamerica then let her have her “world records” who cares, how does that effect anybody really? Technically the places she goes to are the only ones in the world, so one could make an argument.

    Heck, my mom makes a kick ass 3 bean cassarole, I’m proud to say I have the world record for eating the most of that dish in one sitting then anybody else in the world.

    keep up the good work Steph!

    The first time any of these girls stepped up to a table against a real eater like Sonya their enthusiasm would fly out of them like a deflated balloon when they realize the difference as to what they do and what Sonya does when it comes to eating. Kind of like when “Furious” Pete went up against Kobi in pizza. But I say let them have their fun. If they want to claim they are the champion of the world at a Denny’s in Fumbuck, CA, more power to them.

    +1 on “Hello Earth Calling”… When you’re an above average or even a good eater, going the indy route it’s easy to feel your oats or maybe get a little cocky, especially when you’re crushing the competition… It’s not till you step up to the stage with the big boys (I’m talking the top 5 or 6), do you realize how truly amazing they are (the Big 5 or 6) and how quickly you’re humbled. Not to take anything away from us mid ranked guys, as we all have an amazing talent, but compared to the big 6, we simply aren’t worthy.

    So getting back to the thread topic, Steph should continue to do her challenges and blog, if it makes her happy and informs others, who really loses?

    It is just delusional to think you are the best in the world at something without the proper documentation and witnesses.

    FNG, I agree, some of these newbies really need to be taken down a peg, actually compete against some world class competition and stop talking until they prove themselves worthy of this attention.

    In the defense of all these “average eaters” different people excel at different time levels of competion. The winner of a 2 minute competition is unlikely to be the same winner of a 20 minute competition. So when people talk about the big 5 or top 10 or whathaveu, they are really talking about people that excel over a large portion of contests, 8 to 12 minutes. There is a danger to longer competitions, once competitors REALLY challenge their own capacity, not just a combo of speed/capacity. On the other hand i have seen some average eaters also excel at very very short competions, like the first to finish a burger or a slice of pizza etc. Just rapid fire.

    I have much respect for those great eaters. Others have said that it isn’t just practice and talent but rather some devine intervention, the chosen few that can handle eating so much so fast.
