A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

EYE ON THEM CHILDREN IN THE POOL: The Bee goes from 59 entrants down to 15 for tonight; our pool has taken a similar plummet. Unless I've made an error -- which I often do -- here's who has both spellers remaining for tonight's primetime finals:

Me: Kavya Shivashankar and Jonathan Horton
Amy: Evan O'Dorney and Tia Thomas
Heather P: Kavya Shivashankar and Tia Thomas
Scott: Jonathan Horton and Matthew Evans
Hawkhill: Jonathan Horton and Evan O'Dorney
Bad Dad: Nithya Vijayakumar and Matthew Evans
Racquel: Kavya Shivashankar and Matthew Evans

(Note: If you just said "Samir," I put you down for Samir Patel; you cannot claim you meant El Paso's Samir Gupta, who's still in. Oops -- he's out, as is Sameer Mishra. But three Canadians are left.)

e.t.a. Only six of the fifteen finalists are covered above. It is possible for someone to win this without having two members still left; some entrants have finalists left not listed above, including Isabel Jacobson and Prateek Kohli, and if the finals last long enough, one of them can certainly win this.
