Our first contestant is from New York, Ms. Hitlery Clinton. Ms. Clinton, your word is "Treason".
"Use of the word please?"
Of course. "The Clintons committed treason against the United States of America."
Duh,...I give up!

My impression is that home-schooled kids win this bee at a rate disproportionate to their small numbers. Go home-schoolers!

So did they ban the home-schooled kids this year? That had been proposed, I suppose because they had an unfair advantage.

I was a speller growing up, and while it was fun for me, I can't imagine what mind-numbing, agonizing boredom it must have been to watch one of those - let alone all of them, as my parents did.

Also, the championship rounds will be broadcast live on ABC (for the first time) beginning at 8PM EST Thursday evening. Good, let's put these kids on a pedestal and make them role models instead of the little punks all over the tube in commercials and on sitcoms etc.

How do they inform deaf competitors what the word to be spelled is? (Don't tell me they discriminate against deaf people!!)

Just curious but what good does a national spelling bee do? Are those words ever used in normal conversation? Are those kids going to impress someone? I feel that after they correctly spell one of those words they should be able to either define what it means or use it in a sentence .....

My money is on contestant 255. Perhaps we should get a pool going here.

The rules used to be .. You can repeat the letters that you have already spelled but can't correct the letters.
There is a commercial on TV that as a girl spelling Aardvark.
She spells "A-R", a little creature standing on the microphone tells her to think of the first word in the dictionary. She corrects herself with "A-A- R.....".
The MC congratulates her on being correct.
Got me thinking..
Are the rules still the same or have they dumbed down spelling bees also?

I was just about to post a thread on this - then I found yours. Great! Going back to read all the way through, then perhaps make some comments, if the thunderstorms hold off here today.
My money would probably be on Patel, too, but I haven't handicapped it today.

Hi all,
I'll post again after the Bee is over. Our ABC telecast in Colorado is an hour delayed from the East Coast so I'm not going to follow the Bee web site or the FR thread, so as not to spoil things for my family.
