Runner-up Charlotte Walsh gave Dev a congratulatory hug.

Earlier that night, 11 finalists took the stage in National Harbor, Maryland, for the final rounds of the 2023 bee. All had made it unscathed through eight rounds (five of spelling, three of vocabulary.)

Two spellers were eliminated in Round 9, when 11-year-old Sarah Fernandes from Nebraska was marked incorrect on “leguleian” and Pranav Anandh from Pennsylvania on “querken.”

In Round 10, which is a word-meaning round, Tarini Nandakumar from Texas was out on “chthonic.”

Arth Dalsania from California was eliminated on “katuka,” Dhruv Subramanian from California on “crenel,” Vikrant Chintanaboina from California on “pataca,” and Aryan Khedkar from Michigan on “pharetrone.”

Folks, do you notice anything while looking at the names of most of the finalists?

Go to any High School commencement and look at the names of who the top students are.

They probably all come from India’s Brahmin, or similar, cast, who have a vey high average IQ.

White are being over taken. Much of that is from laziness and entitlement.

My nephew won the Scripps Howard championship in Japan and competed in Washington in the finals. [He lost]. It was funny though when they called his [all Irish name] as the Japanese Champion everyone was scratching their heads. His Dad my brother was stationed at Misawa AFB and he was born and raised in Japan.
