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

A six year old competing in that is mind-numbing. That's next-level focus.

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

There are people there who homeschool their kids for no other reason than winning this thing. They spend thousands of dollars on tutors and their kids have absolutely zero ability to interact with others. My parents, who were both teachers, thought it was borderline child abuse. I was just a kid from rural SC who won the podunk regional spelling bee and got a free trip to D.C.

For this year’s bee, which starts May 30, three spellers are consensus favorites: Shourav Dasari, a past North South Foundation and South Asian Spelling Bee champion whose older sister came close several times; Siyona Mishra, who won last year’s South Asian bee and finished 9th in her only National Spelling Bee appearance; and Tejas Muthusamy, who’s making his fourth appearance, with two previous top-10 finishes.


I may back Mishra to end the Indian dynasty

ETA: nm also Indian

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.
