DESPITE HAVING THE SECOND LOWEST QUALIFYING TOTAL, HUBLE BOB WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE A STRONG SHOWING IN CHATTANOOGA. AND BOB DID JUST THAT, INCREASING HIS KRYSTAL CONSUMPTION TO 51 IN EIGHT MINUTES. THAT IS A 76 PERCENT INCREASE OVER HIS QUALIFYING TOTAL. 51 KRYSTALS WAS ENOUGH TO FINISH IN 4TH PLACE, AHEAD OF 12 EATERS.

HUMBLE BOB'S PERFORMANCE WAS LIKELY AIDED BY THE PREPERATIONS THAT NIGHT BEFORE. BOB WAS AMONG A LARGE GROUP OF TOP EATERS THAT MADE A KRYSTAL RUN ON THE EVE OF THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. THAT NIGHT BOB MADE HISTORY BY EATING 22 KRYSTALS IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES, BREAKING THE RECORD OF 21 IN TWO MINUTES. SINCE IT WAS NOT A SANCTIONED EVENT, THE RECORD WAS UNOFFICIAL. ON JULY 18, 2006, BOB'S UNOFFICIAL RECORD HAS TOPPLED BY JOEY CHESTNUT WHO DOWNED 28 KRYSTALS IN AN OFFICIAL TWO-MINUTE EVENT. SHOUDT RECLAIMED A SHARE OF THE TWO-MINUTE WORLD RECORD IN NASHVILLE BY MATCHING CHESTNUT'S 28.
