Spelling Bee - Day 2

Today was the continuation of Jason's Spelling Bee! There was heavy competition - 14 spellers were still in the running at the end of yesterday.

He was ready for it today!

 The next three rounds eliminated most of the other spellers. They were now down to the final 3!

Jason successfully spelled "energetic" "defensiveness" and "marmalade."
(And yes, I just misspelled "defensiveness!")

The next 9 rounds were drama filled and intense. There was an appeal to an elimination put forth, which was denied. There was also audience misconduct at play!

The whole room was sweating it out through it all!

Round 4: chimpanzee ✔️
Round 5: commendable ✔️
Round 6: incessant ✔️
Round 7: ricochet ❌ (his opponent had "truculent" ❌)
Round 8: entrepreneur ❌ (his opponent had "merengue" ❌)
Round 9: malign ❌ (his opponent had anecdote ❌)
Round 10: mandible ✔️ (his opponent had "dragoons" ✔️)
Round 11: Burroughs (he spelled it burrows) ❌  (his opponent had "taxidermy"❌)
Round 12: (his opponent had "propaganda" ❌) Conundrum ✔️

Jason's championship word: piteously ❌

And that is when they ran out of time. They're up again tomorrow-same time, same place!

We are so, SO PROUD of Jay!
