Round five recap

Fri, May 30, 2008 - 11:49 AM

12:58 p.m.

45 is now 24.

21 spellers were eliminated in round five in this morning's action. While 26 were actually eliminated in five in 2007, 2007's round five started with 59 spellers. Only 45 remained when round five began this morning.

Wow, the bee is beginning six immediately. It'll be interesting to see how the spellers do and whether or not they decide to finish six today or wait until primetime tonight.
