ATTN: JUDGES AT THE SPELLING BEE. DO NOT TEASE ME.

Ed Bark (you know … Uncle Barky) instills hope that Samir might not be out of it just yet:

He may not be down yet, Adam. It’s under appeal. Very weird that they would do an instant replay on a spelling bee. Trying to figure out if the word was correctly pronounced to him.

If the judges choose to cheat in Samir’s favor, knowing he’d be a huge draw for prime time tonight, I say, “Close enough.”
