To complete the challenge, Lauryn must eat the Pigzilla sandwich -- three pounds of pulled pork and barbecue sauce on a one-pound Hawaiian sweet bread roll -- in 45 minutes. She must keep it down for five minutes before she is allowed to puke (if need be). Should she succeed, Lauryn will be awarded a $200 cash prize. "I'm the first female to do it," she says while warming up.

"Pigzilla has been challenged 55 times and it was only defeated once by a professional eater," her mom, June Shannon explains. "I think it's gonna be defeated twice because, hey, I've got my own professional eater on my hands."
