Cody is not the only one having trouble with spelling in this scene that never made it to air.

That word either means something to you, or means nothing.

Spelling and reality TV have a long, storied relationship.

Survivor Deleted Scene

Sami Layadi and Cody Assenmacher in ‘Survivor 43’.CBS

But this week’s episode ofSurvivor 43went to preposterous lengths to show us the spelling foibles of its cast.

Oh, but there was so much more to this story.

And so much that has never been seen… until now.

“We can’t fish.

We can’t paint.

So we might as well just put the two together and see what happened,” Sami Layadi explains.

(He might have added “we can’t spell” but that is neither here nor there.)

I got no shame.

That might be the longest word in my vocabulary.

Correction: Thatisthe longest word in my vocabulary."

So Cody calls over Owen Knight to help out.

Owen’s a smart guy!

Dean of admissions at a major university!

Surely, he can figure out how to spell preposterous, right?

“P-r-e-p…” Owen repeats four times, finally sealing the deal with “preposterous.”

Because here comes Cody with the counter-argument.

“But I got o instead of e. Proposteorus.

It’s notpreposterous, It’sproposterous.”

“Yeah, you’re probably right.”

We were so close!
