On-stage chatter

Speller 135, Joel Miles, asked if he could "jump the question" when he heard his his word, "seriema." He misspelled it, and is out.

Christine Sturgill, speller 137, was ready for her word.

"Bring it on," she said, as she approached the mic. Christine spelled "tatbeb" correctly, and took a bow.

"Thank you very much," she said.
