I will comment to myself periodically…
Tia Thomas is up. She’s smiling because she knows the answer, but she still asks all the necessary questions. Can’t skip preparation.

one comment i will make is the fact that i seem to recall the kids all having to wear white and now they’re wearing all kinds of different colors.

He’s 8 months old, but…

Ooh! Erin Andrews is at the Bee!

That has to do with ear mites. What I want to know is what line of work you have to be in to use that word regularly and is there any way that I can make sure that my son avoids that line of work entirely.

but I’ll try to keep you company. What kind of questions are they allowed to ask, again?

No pressure, kids.

If that’s the word that knocked me out, I’d throw up a shocker or west side and yell, “HOOLEY-WHOOOO”!

This round is like AAA versus the big leagues. Some kids gonna sneak through, but we just lost 8 in a row.

I think the kid fell asleep during the word. I’d make him repeat the definition a couple time.

i got one of those a couple Christmases ago and it changed my life.

I am rooting for that kid if only because he responded “Huh?” after Dr. Bailey said the word for the first time.

Go Chlorambucil kid!!!

I could’ve spelled that because it’s the last name of a couple in our birthing class.

Nice turnout for the spellers.

would be a whole lot more interesting if instead of getting eliminated, one of your goldfish got flushed down the toilet each time you screw up a word.

“a fight nearly broke out over the last schnecke in the bakery.”

that’s the kind of name you have to live up to, by shooting down about 43 biplanes.

She’s playing matchmaker backstage with those two spelling beers.

L-O-V-E

When somebody knows a word, I sometimes wish they’d just take the shot. I guess that’s why these kids are where they are.

“he hasn’t seen this word before. he just has to trust his knowledge of phonetic spellings in persian.”

and by “winner” I mean “loser who will win this thing.”

Just shows how tough puberty can be.

we’re pretty much down to the kids who could be featured in Spellbound, right? Freaky parents, nightmarish study habits…

with those sideburns and ‘stache.

“you see the clock?”

“ok bitches… watch this…”

he has more of a mustache than i can grow and i’m in my 30s.

I like this girl. “Are there any alternate words I can spell?”

Tia is gonna be mocking you forever!

This word is making me hungry for a donut and some crystal lite.

And the way he just nailed pyelnowhatever, he’s gotta be a favorite.

Rocking like crazy.

i missed her name… the one spelling pyrrhotism… she’s taking this thing.

those two are going to meet in the final.

and the way she always says “Dr. Bailey.”

That should be terrible.

and great.
