WOOKEY HOLE BIG EAT PROFILES

Sonya Thomas World Female No 1 competitive eater

LAST YEAR'S WINNER:

Name: Sonya Thomas

Status: World Female No 1 competitive eater, and ranked third in the in the United States, with 27 world titles

There is an century-old prophesy within the competitive eating community, dismissed by most, that foretells the rise of the One Eater, a woman who will kelectrify America's gurgitators and lead them to international victory once again.

Like Joan of Arc before her, this eater will be slender of stature, but mighty in strength. In recent months, the prophesy has been mentioned more and more frequently as the eaters have watched Sonya Thomas excel in nearly every contest she enters.

This amazing eater was named IFOCE 2003 Rookie of the Year and was nearly unbeaten in competition in 2004, except for one highly controversial loss to Dale Boone in a baked bean eating contest in which the beans were said to be far too hot. (Boone somehow got hold of a jug of water that he used to cool his beans.)

Sonya has quickly mastered the sport and the rest of the eaters appear to be watching, dumfounded, seemingly waiting for her to assume her rightful position at the top of the game.

However, in 2005, Sonya was tested by other American eaters, most notably by Joey Chestnut, who beat her in Waffle House waffles and in Krystal hamburgers.

Sonya is single and lives in Alexandria, VA.
