Potential timing problem

The Bee staff has an interesting decision to make.

If spellers continue to make mistakes, there will be a possibility that round six could begin with under 24 spellers. If the bloodbath trend continues, the Bee could get under 12 spellers before going to primetime tonight.

If the number drops below twelve, the staff will become worried they won't have enough footage to make two hours live tonight on ABC. This won't necessarily become a problem, but it could happen. Another option is to stop round six when there are twelve spellers remaining, but then the spellers previously eliminated would possibly be upset about not being on ABC themselves.

Let's see what they do after this round.
