Hell yeah. I'm pumped.

Nihar should have won outright last year. Had a couple of chances to win but they gave him some fricked up words.

I was a participant in 1996, 1997 and 1999. Some of the weirdest people on the planet.

Hopefully they don't make another white kid spell the word negus (which sounds like ****s) and is a word for a Nigerian king or Queen

Son this some bullshite

quote:



Six-year-old Edith Fuller spelled "nyctinasty" correctly on stage Wednesday.

She spelled "tapas" correctly, too.

However, the Oklahoma kindergarten student did not score high enough on the written test Wednesday to qualify her for the final round.

My friends daughter was in it and was eliminated yesterday with her second word. Her test would've gotten her into the finals too :(
