 Among friends, competitive eater Suzanne "Suzilla" French is known for extreme behavior. Whatever she does, she does big, be it eating or drinking, showing her love for country or pro-football. She's the fourth-ranked competitive eater in the world - the kind of person who parties hard on Flag Day and decks her Facebook profile picture with the New Orleans Saints' logo. The last time I saw her, before she left Atlanta for her hometown of Houston, was in the back of a stretch limo that she'd rented for a mutual friend's birthday. I joined them after they'd spent the day at Medieval Times - a gorge-fest in its own right. Bottles of booze spilled forth as the car flew around town, making stops at bars where French knew everyone. I can't remember how it ended. For its new extreme eating special, Discovery's Planet Green channel capitalized on her "girl-next-door consumes gargantuan portions of food" shtick. "Suzilla: The Mouth That Roars" follows the 28-year-old as she takes on men at least twice her size in eating competitions in some of the country's greasiest spoons and short-order eateries. She took a few minutes out of her day job as a contract lawyer for an oilfield services company to talk about how she manages to not look like a competitive eater and the two kinds of food she refuses to eat. Suzilla: The competition part - because it's me versus another guy, and I'm a girl that can eat a lot. EG: How did you get the nickname Suzilla? Suzilla: An old friend used to call me Su-nami because I was always such a whirlwind. So when I started eating, my brother thought it would be neat if I was like Shaq and had a bunch of nicknames. So he came up with Suzilla and a variety of others. Suzilla stuck because it’s the most intimidating. EG: How did you get started in competitive eating? Suzilla: My car broke down when I was working as a tax attorney in Atlanta [in 2009]. It broke down around the time my student loan came up, so I had to pay $800 for the car. Corndogorama and was being held so I thought okay, that's where I'll get the money. It worked. EG: What's the biggest misconception about competitive eating? Suzilla: That the bigger you are, the more you can eat when really it’s people that are super skinny that can eat a lot because their stomachs expand. EG: What's the most difficult food to eat? Suzilla: The hardest thing to eat is anything covered in sugar because it gives you the worst hangover. It dehydrates and takes all the moisture out of your body. EG: What's the most you've eaten in one sitting? Suzilla: In one sitting I actually ate the pie in the sky in Alpharetta, Georgia with a buddy. I ate the majority of it, about 8 to 12 slices. It had pepperoni, sausage, ham, hamburger, it was just completely filled with meat and cheese. EG: What's your favorite food? Suzilla: I love McDonald's, I love a double cheeseburger, and Olive Garden because they have the never ending pasta bowl. And it's super healthy. EG: How do you maintain your "compact frame," to quote the New York Times? Suzilla: I run, run, run, run, run. I probably work out an hour in the morning and then an hour to two hours a night so I run seven to 14 miles a day, plus sit-ups and push-ups. I don't really like weights. EG: What's the biggest challenge you've ever faced in the competitive eating realm? Suzilla: The Big Fat Fatty was the only one I couldn't finish. I went out to L.A. by the UCLA campus, there's a sandwich shop there run by three guys, they have this one massive sandwich that they came up with at the end of a cleanse, it's like their wet dream of a sandwich. It has everything. They say it can feed ten people and if you finish it they'll name a sandwich after you, but you have to do it in 40 minutes, and all I could think was, there's no way I could chew this much in 40 minutes. EG: What's a regular day's worth of meals for you? Suzilla: In real life, pretty normal. I had granola for breakfast, green chili and corn bisque soup and chicken salad wrap for lunch, and for dinner I'll probably have pasta because I'm lazy. EG: What advice would you give to an aspiring competitive eater? Suzilla: Make sure you have a good workout plan in place because when you eat eight pounds of food you tend to gain eight pounds. EG: How do people generally react to you as a female at eating competitions? Suzilla: They don’t know what to expect, which is really good for the competition because no one pays attention to the girl. So I just get to win the money. But it’s always a look of doubt. EG: Does a huge appetite run in the family? Suzilla: I think it might because my dad took used to take my brother and me to a place where they had a fried chicken buffet called Hartz's and my mom would never go because she thought it was disgusting. EG: What does your family make of all this? Suzilla: My brother is so proud [laughs]. I feel I've like done really great things in life, I ran a marathon, went to law school, the London School of Economics, and this is the thing that he’s most proud of. And then my mom and dad are just like, don’t quit your day job. EG: Among people who know you, is this kind of outsized eating out of character for you? Suzilla: No, they expect me to do absolutely ridiculous things. It's just my personality, I always like do thing out of the box and toe the line. EG: What are your hopes for the show? Suzilla: It was super-fun to do. It could continue but I don't know how likely it is. I have no expectations, it was just fun to do. It's every little's girl dream, to eat for money. EG: Is there anything you won't eat? Suzilla: Watermelon Jolly Ranchers and grapefruits. I got grapefruit juice in my eye when I was nine. I've never fully recovered. Watermelon Jolly Ranchers are the worst and smell awful. |

Another example of American waste and being popular for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
What's the point? I'll be in pain for days afterwards..
That's some seriously poor editing.
She eat two much.
We've reached a new low in this country when we consider being able to eat a lot a talent.
Why don't you approve my comments?
Go to this site to listen to some nice Christmas songs: http://beautifulbrian.com/xmas.html.
I do not care for the rest of his site, but I like his voice.
I beleive suzi isn't that skinny as shown in the picture. but that's good if you can eat a lot and not gain weight or get sick doing it. except if i had to do too much jogging etc. in order to eat a lot i wouldn't bother. i did much much dancing cause i loved dancing but it had no relationship much to my eating interests. and sang a lot in my privacy.
i do consider overeating sinful though and gluttonous but if it doesn't put on weight couldn't be that sinful. lot like dancing too much or singing too much. doing too much knitting or hobby crafts as model making etc. fanatic interests. i used to call myself a fanatical dieter. but i had to be because my organs were damaged and i had to improve my own health condition because medical persons were aggravatingly useless and abusive. something silly of a hobby involvement is puzzle work art, because i think that is a craziness preoccupation. i cringe at the thought of putting puzzles together. i think i have done one in my life at home. i despise them. wasteful time too much waste. they should be designed for assembly using a different system – maybe with bigger pieces and 3-D forms or releif surfaces etc. – make them interesting to do not torture water dropping on the forehead for days kind of emotional involvement. not those stamp size pieces that are so small and all look alike in groups of three to five colors. it's so upsetting to think many are pushed as well in to working on puzzle picture assembly for a hobby. they make victims of mental abuse do those a lot – they are crazy for forcing more abuse into crazy behaviour preoccupation. i can't even stand those newspaper puzzles much either. puzzle books you buy in stores are often too simpleton. either way it is a waste of production time. it never improves my intelligence to do those. it is better to read and analyze more news etc. And i am an involved and complicated brainy thinker. i read a lot of media but i can't seem to do those news puzzles. i lose patience. then i don't like playing cards and stuff like that either, which many of those same persons do.i spend my time on profession bulding.
The more refined indulgence in food is what i did some of and that is as a restaurant critic columnist, plus i come from a restaurant family plus have many food related inventions and creations, and research. i also do safety and health inspection a lot as well.
Ma boy ... you have much to learn about competitive eating. You are forgiven, however, for your lack of knowledge, as it is in its burgeoning stages.
What?
you should go see a licensed clinical therapist...you appear to have some sort of mental disorder.
I was wondering about the perspective of the photo myself, so I Googled and, as far as I can tell, she actually seems pretty trim.
you are a nutjob. wow
All viewers should be informed that her # 4 World Ranking is bogus. Since this link is hyperlinked in the story above, do go to http://www.wloce.com and check out the rankings. See who is ranked # 1–Dale Boone. See who is ranked # 2–The legend himself, Takeru Kobayashi. Dale Boone has never even come close to outeating Takeru Kobayashi, who was a 6-time July 4th Nathan's Famous Hot dog-Eating Champion on Coney Island, NYC. It is laughable mentioning those two in the same sentence, unless you're talking extremes.
Kobayashi himself has been unable to beat 5-time and current World Champion Joey "Jaws" Chestnut the top male eater in the world. Sonya Thomas is his female counterpart, winning the women's division at Nathan's on July 4th. Just go to http://www.ifoce.com and check out who ESPN (and anyone who knows anything about competitive eating) recognizes as the only legitimate competitive eating organization.
'Zilla is certainly the best female eater on a television program, and she is cute and entertaining! Gosh, darn it, I wonder how she would stack up against Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas (just google her), "The Lovely" Juliet Lee, or Stephanie Torres, even though she is considered the #4-ranked eater in the world (by whom?).
Self-proclaimed World Champion Dale Boone has been beaten (and badly) by Sonya Thomas and on several occasions the poor thing could not keep his food down. Yet, he is ranked # 1 in the world in the same organization in which Ms French is ranked # 4.
I've never been good with numbers, but somehow this doesn't add up, excuse my lack of math prowess, however.
Competitive eating? Am I the only person who finds this disgusting and disturbing? With hundreds of people starving in the U.S. do we really need to encourage this type of activity?
This is one odd way to attain celebrity. I think she would also make an excellent comedian. She looks hillarious in that picture.
I can eat 50 (fifty) eggs.
You go, Hud!
So can I. In two months.
Only if you can do it in an hour.
And it's Cool Hand Luke, not Hud. CHL is one of my favorite films!
Most y'all are idiots. Let home girl do her thing. Don't hate on her cuz yer jealous. Orcuz you have nothing better to do. Oh sorry do I have bad grammar?
I gotta admit.....I kinda like "orcuz".
I bet her farts could melt carbon steel. Can I get a witness?
Why would I try to prove I'm the biggest pig ?
I can eat a block of lard the size of a Volkswagen!
Nuts to this, I prefer Whiskey drinking contests myself.
I can eat a ton but I'm usually a really slow eater. But I can eat fast when I'm really hungry or some small things.
This "sport" is awesome for your cardiovascular system.
I remember when the Discovery Channel had a soul and showed good programming, especially for kids. Now it shows people stuffing food into their mouths and then going somewhere to throw it up. Wow! And how much am I paying for cable?
The History Channel – Reality shows
The Discovery Channel – Reality Shows
TLC – Reality shows
MTV – Reality Shows
So glad we have specialized channels for every interest . . .
Agree.
NGEO occasionally has decent stuff.
Occasionally.
I WISH I could eat a tenth of what she eats without getting a fat gut! She and the oriental girl blow me away – I'd love to see a medical explanation of how they do it.
It's pretty simple: bulimia. They never admit it, though. They just insist that they've got 'fast metabolisms' or don't eat like that all the time. Right. She may be running 15 miles a day, but she's also throwing up a lot of food.
They're freaks. Freaks, dammit!
She's hot.
sorry, she is NOT the 4th ranked eater in the world...not even close...she is only 4th ranked on a website run by a guy who ranks himself first...nothing against Suzanne, who is truly a fantastic eater, but c'mon CNN...you know better than not to check your facts!!
Nothing against you or the information you're posting, but this sounds so Idiocracy like, it's not even funny
"idiocracy"??????
@Proot: It's a film. Look it up. Pretty funny, too.
Here's an idea. BAN eating contests completely, and give the food that would've been consumed in them to people who are literally starving to death. An eating contest is absolutely horrible, disgusting waste of food.
I agree..It makes me feel guilty just hearing about this stuff. She prolly throws it up afterwards anyway..
Another example of how America has become a stinking rotting carcase. We used to do important things, make things people needed, grew food that fed the world. Now we're watching freaks pretend fantasy is reality, performing wild feats of no significance. Eating contest are twisted, sick and wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.
Hear, hear! You are spot on, Skin N. Bones.
Well put, David.
agreed.......we have 4M children going hungry in this country on a daily basis......gluttony for money sucks
I would never enter an eating contest. It's disgusting.
I'll stick to cigarette smoking contests, thank you.
I prefer pole-smoking contests.
She seems like fun and a real gal. I'll take her anyday over some hipster reject.
I disagree. "Hipsters" are much more fun to abuse.
I like her, she swallows everything.
LOL!
Whatever is wrong with this story, it's Obama's fault.
I disagree with whatever you just wrote!
I agree with both of you!
Please, spend more time covering morons! It makes us all so much smarter, and is the best way to enrich our society! This is the most deserving news story of the day! It affects the lives of so many people, and teaches us things that are absolutely vital to know!
Relax.
Relax........have a drink. Do a rail. Hit the pipe. Slit your wrists.
I used to watch Man vs. Food, but after a while I just couldn't do it anymore. In the end it's just a horrible and gluttonous representation of the US. Everything that is wrong with us. And the last thing I want to see is a show with some woman stuffing her face with huge amounts of food.
I agree.
I like to watch women stuff their faces with huge amounts of tube steak.
so michael vick can't dog fight but they can kill animals to have "extreme eating contests" ?? i don't get it?
Then you are a total r3tard.
You're kidding, right? Go take a course in logic. Of course she's disgusting. But she has taken something socially acceptable (eating food) and turned it into a ridiculous crass activity. There is nothing here to compare to the behavior of a low life who tortures and kills creatures for his sick amusement.
Humans do not need to eat meat to survive. The human body can only digest a small amount of meat.
So eating 3-4 ounces of meat a few times a week (never more than one pound in a week) has no nutritional argument. Eating a 16oz steak is a total waste of at least 12oz of meat. Most of the death of animals for meat is only for the pleasure (entertainment) of the consumer.
Compare the horrible lives of chickens, cows and pigs in factory farms to the horrible lives of Vick's dogs and they aren't that far apart.
Animals raised as they were a century ago and eaten in small portions as part of a full meal of grains and vegetables is a far cry from the gluttony of today.
If America cut back on meat consumption by 10%, the grain left over at feed yards would be enough to make up for the missing 10% and feed every human being on earth that is currently starving.
The average American diet requires 10 times the land of the average American vegetarian diet.
etc. . .
Should have read:
So eating more than 3-4 ounces of meat . . .
Yeah, and if our government would stop subsidizing corn for ethanol, I'd have more and cheaper corn to eat, and I wouldn't have to pay much much more for corn products. Not to mention the sugar farmers who get scr@wed over because we want to promote sucking down all the high fructose corn syrup. I could go on and on, but why bother? Doesn't fit into your closed minded agenda.
soo......killing more animals to have your little "extreme eating contests" is MUCH better than killing dogs for entertainment? that makes so much sense. your logic is flawless thanks.
Dear, maybe your perky breasts sre cutting off the blood flow to your brain.... Let me try again.. food eating contests are disgusting. However, food is manufactured and sold every day in this country for normal people to eat in a normal fashion. This particular chick prefers to use the food in a disgusting idiotic way. What Michael Vick did has no connection to normalcy. No part of his behavior toward dogs was normal, or acceptable. See the difference?
anyway you try to bend it it's still animals being killed for a sick purpose.
I totally agree with Erin's breasts....I mean logic. KW, your statement that Michael Vick's behavior has "no connection to normalcy" is ridiculous. Dog fighting is a huge business in the U.S., whether it's normal for you or not. If he ate the dogs, would it be closer to normalcy for you?
Also, if you think that cows, pigs, and chickens aren't tortured, then you need to get educated. We certainly don't treat them humanely before slaughtering them.
At the end of the day, Erin is saying that there is no guiding principle here – and I think she's right. We justify eating meat by saying "it tastes good," which is not really a justification, just the reason that we keep doing it.
For the record, I eat lots of meat because it "tastes good." If I ate a dog for the same reason, why would I be wrong? "Normal" is subjective. Principle is not (unless you're Mitt Romney).
fact of the matter is both kill animals and both do it for entertainment whats so different about that?
Well, let me try again-Sorry agreeable- and perky breasts–I see you are not keeping "abreast" of what logical and normal means. The norm is the "standard".... Dog fighting may be acceptable for some groups of people in this country –BUT NOT FOR MOST.. Therefore it is simply NOT normal. Period. Yes, everyone knows that agribusiness is without conscience. No question. HOWEVER–Not every one who raises, sells or eats animals is evil or inherently wrong. . EVERYTHING about what Michael Vick did was evil and inherently wrong. There is no redeeming factor in dog fighting and killing for entertainment. The idea of using animals for food is not the same thing as torturing dogs and killing them for entertainment. You are comparing apples to oranges!!! And yes agreeable –I know you are not a vegetarian.–and yes–I already said agribusiness is wrong- and evil–but they are not the only suppliers of food... Perky–undo your bra and let your blood flow!
Oh, and perky–I already said that what this woman does is aesthetically and morally disgusting–I don't find this type of "entertainment" fine. Try to keep up, kid.
you seem really upset about this, jealous of something?
"using animals for food" so someone stuffing their face with multiple lbs of meat from an animal that was probably killed 3 weeks ago is just oh so much better than dog fighting? yes it is "acceptable to society hur hur hur" but it's also pretty sick
Vegetarian: Ancient tribal slang for the village idiot, who can't hunt or fish. PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals. So, how many animals were kill for a pie eating contest?
At least that way the bloody slaughter and butchery aren't wasted. Mmmm...dead animals. Nomnomnomnomnom! With ketchup, please!
Wow–that perky breasted girl kept on and on about this no matter how many people tried to explain things to her–
then she made a lame remark about somebody being jealous-of her breasts I guess. That poor child needs to step away from the mirror and learn to argue properly.
I know – let's make all competitive eaters eat dog meat.
Michael Vick should be eaten!
I won a chicken wing eating contest at my university. I was 260 pounds back then.
I'm sub-200 now. Nowadays, I couldn't eat half the wings I did back then and I'm thankful for it.
Good for you! (truly) I hope other people follow in your footsteps.
this is the face she gives after a bj.
Nope–sorry, there's room only for food there.
In your dreams! Or your wet dream
Eating food this way is disgusting–not only aesthetically, but morally–think of all the people starving in this world.
Look at mooshelles bu tt! It is a prime example of a true fat a ss!
Olive Garden is "super healthy"...right.
I was thinking the same thing.. a never ending bowl of pasta = a ton of carbs and calories
That's the first thing I thought as well, Nic. Maybe she should use the money to get a medical degree....
She thinks the olive garden is healthy hahahaha
I bet her turds are as big as a chihuahua.
The tidy-bowl man has to work overtime every night when she comes home.
MUST SUCK TO BE YOU ! MERRY CHRIST_MAS
Thank you CNN for putting in that Journalistic effort. Are we all out of cats stuck in trees?
haha americans and their stupid ways!!
yes so many risk their lives just to come here!
We're still the envy of the world, loser. If you think Americans are so stupid, why are you here reading up on American things? Oh, that's right...you are a jealous, trolling loser.
I agree with the troll, we do some pretty stupid things. Go visit a factory farm where the animals are totured and loaded up with hormones/HGH and then tell me if you can still eat them "for fun."
Haha!!!! You are complaining about CNN and what they are reporting on!!! HOW FUNNY AND ORIGINAL!!!!!
What's kinda funny is we all read the article, knowing what they were reporting on.
This is nothing what a true lady should be doing. She is a disgrase to women everywhere!
Yeah, I'm sure your mom never liked eating a sausage and getting syrup all over her face!
You know what's a disgrace? A woman who can't spell the word.
Yeah but she can spell.
Shut up.
Her blue eyes say "poop's coming, why don't you help push it back in, big boy?"
Id love to have some of that soft serve!
I love your music, Diddy.
Leave the babe alone. She didn't cause world hunger. Go complain to Wall Street. I like this girl, she's having fun and so should all of you. Tell me, who is she killing? My only problem on Earth right now is with all religions. Religions make me sick.
Very true! But Id also like to add urban cities as well to that list!
Then you should talk to your health provider: GOD.
she's killing animals to eat them! it's one thing to nourish someone, but their death was just for a TV show!
Um, yes, animals are killed to be eaten. Or do you just want animals running around, procreating over and over again until they are over taking the world, in which case your vegan buds will have to find some other source of food because these animals will be eating the grass and anything else they can get hold of. So what then? You don't want us to kill them so I guess we'll all just have to starve.
What the heck is a puzzy facy?? You teach English? To who – mongoloids??
Stupid title! What does being blonde have to do with being a competitive eater?! The media is forever trying to convince the world that a blonde haired anything ( rat, dog, cat, or human) is desirable and something gorgeous to look at. Stop trying so hard. Again, what does hair color have to do with competitive eating?!
Where do they find such non-talented people? The occupy protesters?
Lighten up a little please. Be thankful you have access to the Internet.
Did you catch the bit about her law degree? And her stint at the London School of Economics? She's not lacking talent (or intelligence) at all ... she simply has an interesting (?) hobby that's landed her her own TV show.
What about you?
Best name ever!!!!!!!
"Where do they find such non-talented people? The occupy protesters?" HAR HAR HAR – Well, if you look closely, it reads, "She took a few minutes out of her day job as a contract lawyer for an oilfield services company."
Go back to your picture books, moron.
Go back to playing with lincoln's log
hey SD, you sound pretty upset. You must be a welfare recepient.
Women belong in the kitchen and the bed...oh and should not be able to vote or have driver's licences.
You sir should run for President!!!
Be grateful that you have a couchie that pulls out.
Obvious troll.
Remember: A good woman is hard to find. Try searching in a crawlspace or shallow grave first.
I did, all I found were jews haha!
So glad I won't ever have to meet you, big fella.
Couldn't agree more. Women should be obscene and not heard.
Shut up. You know you're only making yourself look like an idiot, right?
I wonder is she realizes how absolutely repulsive this makes her?
Speak for yourself dumbo. She's having fun, where is the crime in that?
hmm I guess repulsive is a crime to you? I never said there was a "crime" involved, although the gluttony and excess in a hobby like this is morally borderline. It's just downright repulsive to see anyone, let alone a woman, stuffing their face full of nasty, unhealthy food.
white woman stuffing her fat face full of food? nothing new in bovine america apparently...
She works out everyday, if you read the article. Do you work anything or work at all?
She's not fat, you dumb, racist d!ck.
I'd let her compete at my weiner eating contest.
You Americans have such Filthy Mouths....The soap dispenser is ready.line up like Good Boys.
yeah, i bet you like to distribute punishment to little boys like a good priest
Yo moma is so fat when it rains she uses a highway for a slip 'n' slide.
How many burnt weenie sangwiches can she eat?
at least as many as you
man I bet she can swallow some sausage alright
Something about "competitive eating" I just can't stomach. Maybe somebody else thought so too so they called gluttony one of the 7 deadly sins.
People are starving all over the world and this woman is stuffing her face. She makes me sick.
Every person has thrown food away or let food spoil in their own house, including yourself. So suck a big one.
So, let her eat my leftovers.
Party pooper. Cheer up.
Very sad to gorge and mock the starving. Those who find this cruel behavior (cruel to herself as well as to those without food) neeed to examine their idea of fun.
Seriously? You could complain about anything, couldn't you?
I totally agree. What is the attraction to gorging past the point of all sanity? I'm sure an anthropologist would say that given the shortage of food formost people throughout human history, having such a surplus that one can actually have gluttony contests shows power and prestige. But on a human scale, within a few blocks of her gorgefests there are probably people who cannot find sustenance; it seems very heartless and cruel to ea massive quantities that she (and her competitors) neither want nor need. There should be a widespread turnign away from these "contests" whic also harm the competitors. Obviously many of these posters here have never known hunger of any type. If they had ever truly starved and had to eat rotten or inedible foods to quell the agony, or watched their loved ones starve, they would never be able to joke about stuffing till one vomits.
Dam Great Show.......... I saw her in a contest she is the fastest and best in the women by far.
Real nice, guys. Poor faceoff is clearly just learning the English language. Give him/her some time.
MMMM big Kahuna Burger. That is a tasty burger!
blow us all u loser
She may not be fat, but she is still a disgusting pig.
That's why you would do her.
LOL
No, bobo only does other guys...
aw, still way out of your league
I love her. She is the woman of my dreams.
The misogyny in these comments is absolutely appalling.
Typical fembot broad.
all these wimps like to go on the internet anonymously and put people down
you are a bag of do uche
Who let you out of the kitchen? Get back in there! That sandwich aint gonna make itself!
women are just like screen doors, you gotta bang em a few times to loosen em up
I like smart women but this one gets a extra star since she can litterally eat more than my entire office (and isn't the size of a house).
The reason you like her is cause she can eat like a dude, probably cause you like dudes.
This is a ripoff from a Japanese show
Michael Phelps used to consume 10,000 calories a day. Think about his workouts. She runs up to 14 miles a day, so it's kind of the same concept. Good for her. I wish I could eat whatever I wanted. But she is 28...give her like 7 years and she won't be able to eat like that any longer.
Yeah, that'll catch up to her and then...watch out!
Daddy would you like some sausage? Daddy would you like some sausages?
lol freddy got fingered
I don't care what anyone else says, I think this chick is kind of hot. Of course, I wouldn't want her to 'dutch oven' me late at night, but still, I'd step up to the plate if she'd let me.
I had her last night, she likes to be cornholed.
Your names NOT Homer and your OUT !!
I feel like i'm taking crazy pills!!!
and then the aliens landed
First! oh wait....
first...to take it in the butt
That is too damn funny! I'm crying!
dat sh it was da funny!
Americans are wretched disgusting people.
Your Mom would tend to disagree with that. I just got off of her, and she loved it.
And his father, he just got done swallowing my sausage.
Don't be hatin. We'll sick "Team America" after you haha!
Yet here you are gobbling up our culture. Examine your life and realize anything good you have most likely came from us. Judgmental twit.
Americans disgusting? Sometime so. Europeans have been killing each other by the millions for thousands of years.
Yes, because only Americans hold competitive eating contests. /s
you know who sucks? Russians. and the French. and the Brits, limey b@stards. oh, and can't forget the Italians; Italy is the Mexico of Europe... which reminds me, Mexicans! and the Swiss; stupid chocolate watches. and Africans, Australians, Scandinavians, South Americans, Canadians, Asians, Islanders... but you know who's cool? Luxembourg.
The Japanese rock at competitive eating. The world hot dog eating champ is a guy from Japan. Competitive eating isn't healthy or pretty, but neither are a number of competitive sports and sports-like activities e.g. cauliflower ear from rugby, brain damage from boxing and football. It's the unusual abilities of the few that make these contests interesting to a larger group, it is not an overall representation of every person in a nation.
I had this girlfriend and taught to her to FART.. and damnit, she moved to Texas.... LOL
i bet she loves to eat out...
Oh I bet!!!
I bet her boyfriend likes to "eat out."
But he eat's healthy. He likes to toss salads haha!
LMAO! Oh no it's the salad man!
She's a typical little Party Girl......with a lock box between her legs and will go to no end just to tease any man to death.
So lets move onto the next chick.
Awww, steved can't get laid. :(
Yeah, she "run run run run runs" to the bathroom so she can puke puke puke puke puke it all out. What a shallow flake of a person.
I could eat farts all day long
This is on Planet Green?
How is over-eating good for the environment?
I might tune in to Discovery Planet Green channel just to see how this qualifies as "green."
.
:
Love your logical insight
I KNOW RIGHT
This woman needs to start acting like a woman and stop trying to be a guy.
stuck in the Dark Ages much?
I bet you are so stupid that you tried to put M&Ms in alphabetical order.
I hope you use the same train of thought next time you come across some "queens." Seems like there are plenty of "guys" out there that should therefore try to stop acting like women, eh what?
This woman is a fake. Even CNN's own site names Sonya "The Black Widow" the top woman eater in the world. You guys need to do a little fact checking. This lady never even ate against anyone? http://topics.cnn.com/topics/sonya_thomas
try not being a dbag yourself
The man is stating fact! Good show and all that, but she is neither the #4-ranked competitive eater nor the best female competitive eater who won the female division of Nathan's this July 4th with 40 Hot Dogs and Buns in 10 minutes. Your Suzilla was not there. You are being hoodwinked! But ... believe what you want.
Her shirt looks like she just pu ked all over herself from the last contest.
WHAT?! Watermelon Jolly Ranchers are the best!
You R Sofa King Ray Tod Did...
"Suzilla: I love McDonald's, I love a double cheeseburger, and Olive Garden because they have the never ending pasta bowl. And it's super healthy."
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
brilliant... isn't it
Dude, I laughed my azz off too!
I don't care if she's skinny. That kind of eating shouldn't be glorified. She's constantly digesting then running herself thin (literally). She might as well be stigma'ed like overweight people because she'll have the same unhealthy, run-down body on the inside. I don't even want to know what her circulating cortisol numbers are! Someone needs to show this girl the Paleo way of eating and exercising, so she can learn to respect the temple that is her body instead of destroying it.
You are probably right, but a show like this is no worse than the ones glorifying having 8+ children in hopes to get reality tv cameras in your home.
And Michael Phelps eats just as much, if not more, calories to fuel his swimming.
Absolutely disgusting! Only in America. No wonder hungry people all over the world hate us.
How would hungry people all over the world know about her? watching their plasma TVs, reading the "hungry people" newspaper, surfing their PC on the free internet service – how exactly are they going to see this?
oh well, I guess you are right they can't see this. So what's your point????
That was hilarious! Actually the hungry people love us because sometimes we drop off pallets of rice and other stuff for them to eat. It's the non-hungry people that hate us. But who cares - sure we eat everything in site that isn't nailed down or poison, but we also give tons of aid and food to other countries. So while they're busy hating us, we're busy dropping off food to the rest of the non-psychos of the world that love us! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH How do you like them apples, beotch?
Since you have such a giant self-loathing for America, Josiah, maybe you should leave. I'm sure there's a vacant mud hut somewhere in South America or Africa where you can live out your life with no reminder of how disgusting and evil America is.
Things like this definitely do not take place only in the United Stayes, son.. And I guess you just never noticed, which I find pretty amazing,sorry, because it has been reported on in so many ways for so long. –but the US has probably done more to help with the hunger situation in this world than most other nations combined, if you average it all out over the many decades that food and financial assistance have been going on. This is both within the US, and originating in the US to assist other areas of the world. America has shared incredible amounts of food and all kinds of aid to dozens of nations for a very long time. I can hardly believe what you said because it seems to show pretty bad ignorance of our record in helping all over the world whenever there is food supply distress. The US is normally one of the first nations to form significant disaster response. We have often also offered assistance when it was refused. Black market and local corrupt brokers and mercenaries in poor areas of the world often steal donated commodities that have arrived from wealthier nations, and proceed to starve out their own countrymenwhile the aid sits and rots somewhere. I have heard this time and again.
Yeah...what Gretchen said.
Competitive eating is a perversion. It's not only unhealthy but immoral given that sooooo many people both in the US and the world go to bed hungry each night. Sign of a decadent culture.
Dear CNN,
Haven't you heard of proof-reading?? There were so many grammatical errors I had to stop reading. Total fail.
Sincerely,
The average literate American.
Dear Jen,
What do you not understand about the notion of interviews? It's people's spoken words. People do not always speak perfectly. Have you truly nothing better to do than grammar troll?
Merry Happy
Wow Jen....I guess this makes YOU a genius!!! Another eurotrash know-it-all?
Your words hypnotize me....
She looks like a chipmunk in the pic....... not the best shot of the day i'd say........
Neepsandpats, the commet was an obvious joke. Her whole interview is sarcastic. Like the article states, she completed law school and attended the London School of Economics. I'm quite confident she's aware that the Olive Garden isn't actually healthy. It must be hard to read about people that have accomplished so much. The competitive eating seemed to have started as a way to make extra money. I admire her for finding a unique way to make the money to help pay for her student loans and car repairs. While she's acutally doing something to help repay her debt, many are sittling in the middle of Occupy Walstreet crying about NOT getting hand-outs. I think the article is great!
Nom Nom Nom
it's only because she runs that she's keeping off the pounds-but she looks like a fat girl waiting to bust out. The day she can't run anymore is the day her true form will finally be set free. And all the running in the world isn't gonna keep those arteries unclogged
Ill bet she poops a lot when no one is around
and I bet it is god awful, frighteningly nasty.
I would pwn all y'all at an eating contest, but that's because I'm fat
Lighten up people, does this really need to be a social commentary? Celebrate people's individual uniqueness whether you agree with them or not. She's not hurting anyone. It's called entertainment, if you don't like it don't watch it.
uhm...this is the 'comments' section. Just sayin'.....
Quit judging her. It's not like what you think matters. She is the one with control; she will pick who she wants to date, hang out with, or even eat with. You don't mean anything. Get over yourself and do something with your life. All you do is rant about what other people are actually doing. Worthless spines.
LOL! I bet you talk to yourself a lot. LOL!
Tacky. Very tacky. Coarsening of already low cultural norms sprang to mind when I read this.
I wonder how many corny dogs she can inhale,and does she use mustard or ketchup?
You'd think CNN could do the slightest bit of research before writing statements such as she is 4th best eater in the world. That's a lie she made up for the show. Which is fine, but it's amazing all the news outlets just believe anything they're told. Like competitive eating or hate it, objectively there is literally hundreds of more skilled competitive eaters and that could be easily found by doing a simple google search and realizing Suzilla has done nearly nothing.
My name says it all little lady!
I'm surprised she's on Planet Green. I would have expected they would want her to eat only organic vegetarian food. All those genetically engineered food and of course meat are bad for the environment or so I've been told by many "green" folk. I'm sure it's good for ratings.
Planet Green has become the channel where other Discovery Channel shows go to die. Look at their weekly prime time schedule, 8pm ET; 'Mall Cops' on Monday, 'BBQ Pitmasters' on Tuesday, 'Worlds Biggest Airliner' on Wednesday, 'World's Dirtiest Man' on Thursday, 'A Haunting' on Friday (desperately competing with the Travel Channel), 'Who Was Jesus' on Saturday, and 'Exodus' on Sunday.
Don't all those programs just -scream- green and environmental to you? Yeah, that channel lost it's theme ages and ages ago, it has virtually nothing to do with what it once was. Guess Current took all the shows they wanted.
I picture her as someone who talks a mile-a-minute and never suts up.
Lawyer. London School of Economics (top college in the world). She eats competitively as a hobby, not for a living. What have you done lately?
Take a look, she a lawyer, a runner (up to 14 miles a day) and thin. Busts a lot of the preconceptions {http://www.rightthisminute.com/story/suzilla-mouth-roars}
The hateful trolls that come on this blog need their own reality show! Now that would be a hoot!
"be it eating or drinking or showing her love for country or pro-football."
That is either written horribly, or there is a country football league I am unaware of.
I think we must find this league! What fun it could be!
Not a very flattering photo and what is up with that earlobe?
Lets see you picture :-) bet that would be a barrel of laughs!!
I really doubt the photo was meant to be flattering. And I doubt she cares, based on her personality displayed in the article. She seems like a fun time!
Great book about competitive eating – Horsemen of the Esophagus by Jason Fagone. Very well written and funny, (and gross at times.)
I like cookies.
this is downright repulsive.
Definitely want to stay clear of the can after she's done with it, for a couple days at least!
LMAO!
I'd hit it but normally the woman makes me a sandwich afterwards, not the other way around.
When I saw the title, I immediately thought of something else...
Seriously, who titles these articles!
I am an extreme man meat eater... jceowoodard at yahoo dot com
Pass me her phone number, she's a keeper!!
Given that she consumes so much more than others, she HAS to be a liberal. Typical me-me-me at!itude. I am surprised she took a break from her "Occupy" efforts to do this.
Oh give it a rest, T.Bagher. Sheesh... Assumptions make you a fool.
Matthew: your a tool...a simple man...get over YOURSELF
Troll.
And I'm surprised your trailer park manager still lets you play with his computer.
Anyone who link politics to a story like this really has issue. Teebhag yourself.
She a contract lawyer for oil fields. If anything, she's in the top 1% the protesters whine about.
Considering the most overweight region of the country (South) is the most conservative and the fittest regions are the most liberal (Pacific NW, Northeast, Mountain West) I don't think your argument holds up to analysis.
I think I'm in love...
I saw her first!
haha
OMG!!! Why wrote this article..? My Kindergarten niece..?
And your comment makes no sense.
Actually, if you read the article it looks like a kindergartner wrote it. Either way, I'd hate to have her around for Christmas dinner. You better be first in line!
Given that she consumes so much more than others, she HAS to be a liberal. Typical me-me-me attitude. I am surprised she took a break from her "Occupy" efforts to do this.
I want to post something about how disgusting this sort of pointless consumption is. Then I think about it and want to post something about how this is such a pure expression of said disgusting consumption that maybe it's more of a commentary or a work of art. But then I think again and just decide... this is dumb and I'm sad I wasted a few seconds to dignify it with a comment.
You wrote a whole paragraph!!! The vacuum between your ears could cause a massive black hole and collapse the universe!
She sounds annoying
GOsh.. too bad for all those hungry people around the world that cannot eat her leftovers :o( i guess those kids won't get presents from Santa for not eating their meals.
That is why people hate America.
If you hate America – get out! And as for any body else that is outside the country and hates America, stay out! What a shmuck to say that...
Agreed. EXACTLY why people hate America.
I completely agree – I just don't get how this is entertaining when so many people are hungry; so wasteful – I'm disgusted.
I wonder how many kielbasa or bratwurst can she fit in that mouth...
Disgusting and obscene.
I'd love to make love to her with a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs
She's a little heifer just like me.
bravo
It's amazing how fast the ultra extremest trolls come out from under the bridge on an article like this, saying things that they would never say to someones face, because their basically snipey, hateful little cowards. She's not hurting anyone, doesn't matter a bit what you think. Actually I think the picture is funny! And she's cute.
Watermelon JR's are teh BEST!!!!
This woman will die of stroke by the age of 50.
You might also, Trolls don't live that long.
I wouldn't be surprised if all that eating kills her off long before then. At least she'll die happy I suppose.
Guess you missed the part about how she runs 7 to 14 miles a day and does pushups and situps, and missed the bit about her otherwise healthy eating habits. Here's a shocker. Pro athletes can eat whatever the hell they want and lost it because of how much they work out, and I suspect her miles of running and marathon training certainly helps in that. Take a look at what pro runners and swimmers and football players eat and if you ate that and just sat on your arce all day, you'd be a blimp, but because they work their bodies they can without the negative effects.
I think you're just jealous.
Satros: well said. It's not like she eats that way every day. She works out, eats well otherwise. She is probably in better shape than the people who posted negative comments about her.
I like her enthusiasm.
I find peppy women annoying.
I know right? I prefer my women submissive and pretty. Only speak when spoken to. Give a shout out to the 19th century for me.
@KC So either a woman is peppy or submissive? Glad you can put the entire female race into two categories. When you grow up and meet more women get back to me.
Not many things make me sound like a leftist, but compet!tive eating needs to go away. Many in the world lack sufficiency, but we turn gluttony into a game. No wonder so much of the world hates us.
It bothers you why? Because you don't like it and you want to control other people, right. Stopping her from eating extra hot dogs or pies isn't going to solve world hunger...
It's not the food itself that is the problem – though she is probably eating enough for 5 people. THe issue is the glamorizing of something rather childish and irresponsible. If there was a "competitive beer drinking" competition that was being televised, would you still be for it?
They lack because they do not practice birth control and they have corrupt governments, not because this woman competes in eating contests. We are supposed to live in poverty because others do? That, in your mind will change everything? The US gives billions in aide to countries that spend it on nuclear weaponry, not on their own people.
Guess they hate Australia and Japan too since there's a big competitive eating 'scene' there too.
Truth is the leader in compet!tive eating is Japan is with India, Indonesia. coming in a close 2nd. It also a way to help fundraisers support there local NGO.
Daayuum! dat is one packed ugly pie hole!
lmaooooooo....
All I got from this was that she thinks the Olive Garden is healthy.... bahahahahahaha
Compared to everything else she eats, it probably is!
Yes, the response "I love ... Olive Garden because they have the never ending pasta bowl. And it's super healthy." = just about the dumbest thing I've read on CNN. Just about.
Obviously her comment was a joke... c'mon, lighten up!
Actually, Talon, I'd like to assume she was joking, but there is no guarantee that she was.
I'm about 90% sure that was sarcasm. Especially since she talked about McDonalds in that same sentence.
Pie in the sky is actually in Kennesaw, GA. Just sayin'.
Not many things make me sound like a leftist, but I really wish this "sport" would go away. Most of the world lacks resources, and we make a competition out of gluttony? Come on folks, we are better than that.
Fatty
Charming.
I know, right? How lady like of her.
Yes, heaven forbid a woman do anything other than be quiet and look pretty.
Certainly my preference. "Now go fix me a chicken pot pie!"
@ Alison – yes, now women can participate in all those idiotic activities that men take part in and look just as stupid while doing it. *eye roll*
Competitive eating is why other countries hate America. We have so much food that we eat it for sport, while other nations are starving, and we rub it in their ematiated faces on TV.
What the heck's the matter with you? Stay on topic!
Stop posting, Ms. Bachmann. You're embarrassing yourself.
