GAME ON!

 

Oh no! Horton bites it!

Blood bath so far. 4 of my top 7 are already gone. The only Canadian left is the one I didn't pick.

 

Evan O'Dorney is through to the next round. I'm looking an O'Dorney vs. Kavya showdown.

Dong goes down.

There goes the villa in Costa Rica.

It's a bloodbath so far.

These kids have had a long day.

The word list has been terrible. Too many words with basically no clues. Total crapshoot.

this is quality TV...and its in HD!

I don't understand how people watch this. The kids keep asking the same question about the word 18 times before they actually spell it. Jesus.

I'm definitely pulling for O'Dorney at this point.

 

How the hell did get that 2nd "H" in Schuhplattler?

That's the second silent "d" in the finals.

lol

 

you guys are joking about being interested in this, right?

 

I can't believe there's a thread about this...lol

I'm impressed with O'Dorney, the remaining Canadian, and the remaining chick. The other two are probably lucky to be here, coasting on easy words. Of course, with my powers of prognoistication...one of those two will probably win.

:lol

 

It's a yearly tradition for Mabdul/mb.com

 

A ton of super tough words so far..but i guess that's to be expected

I have to say...this is easily the worst spelling bee I've ever witnessed. The random bloodbath that was round 7 was bad enough. But this whole broadcast has been horrendous. Do they really need to go to commercial after every two freaking words?

We had a much, much bigger thread last year.

 

Wow, the Canadian kid just missed the only word I've known in the last hour.

 

Evan O'Dorney with one word FTW.

 

And he takes it with serrefine.

 

I was pulling for him to win out of these last 15, so I'm glad for that, at least.

Congratulations, kid, but you're still going to get stuffed into a locker when you get back to school.

I'm far more entertained by Mabdul's enthusiasm then the actual Bee.

Women's College Softball W.S.>spelling bee.

Here's a where are they now from the winners of 1986-1992

I feel like they didn't do enough to promote the event this year. In year's past it was a big deal, but this year I didn't even know it was spelling bee time until I saw this thread.

..and then saran-wrapped to the flagpole

Get a load of the ass on the Arizona pitcher :blink:

dodge - not sure you should be talking about stuffing anyone's locker

I'm telling you, she's in Single-A right now, but she's a 5 star prospect.

 

Man, I wish I were in Single-A again. I'd do a lot of things differently, like getting more e-mail addresses.
