And yes, if she wins, I think she has studied SO hard and is SO serious she will blow up with happiness. You can tell it mean's a lot and she's on a mission.

Oh ****! Harden choked in the 4th quarter.

Hoody did NOT expect not to win. I'm sure in large part to who was left.

I love how they said that kid was a Thunder fan and loved Westbrook and they asked him about Durant and he said no comment.

Your last default pick..one of last two on the board...will win.

Come on Ananya.

These two should eventually marry and produce all the future spelling bee champs.

It seems like she knows these immediately when he says them, because she spouts out the origin and only races through the other questions for fun. She even asked one on accident he had already answered as a formality.

Both are definitely as impressive as those two from last year.

At least I'm not missing an exciting finals game. Blowout as expected.

It's interesting they are both first timers and neither could come last year because their schools or area or whatever didn't participate. they were just unknowns.

I hope they tie, because neither deserves to lose.

Spelling bee is way better than NBA.

I've watched more spelling bee tonight than all the playoffs combined up to this point.

I feel bad for those kids on the stage. They've been sitting there for 3 hours.

Missed the last 20mins or so of this, was eating bacon to soothe my pain.

She is pretty much just bragging..."Oh, is this word Welsch?"

Cleveland should sign these kids, might make the NBA fun again.
