[Tweezyman34]

This takes skill. I am in the regionals this year and I oppose to all of the comments that resent this video

[fruitx4yay]

@Tweezyman34 Me too! Good luck :)

[TheBeeJaye]

@Tweezyman34

I have to agree with you, I'm going to the national one this year, and it's going to be so tough.

[Tonyman1991]

The winner of the scripps national spelling bee wins $30,000 yeah what a waste of time and money....

[GameShowFan6]

@Tonyman1991 wish it was $12,000,000

[TheExalTeDGuy]

[infoherper]

[bernie205]

I dont think any of the kids could survice on the streets of Ny they would be killed !

[guesswhere00]

@bernie205 Seriously man your watching a damn spelling bee video and you can't even spell survive. You're the one that shouldn't survive

[TheMworld9000]

@guesswhere00 Haha good point! lol.

[MolossianZagori]

Study the German, Italian, and Greek language and it will help you decipher the English language.

[Mimmisy123]

was that kavya, the 2009 winner?

[papertreegun]

Yes because prepubescent kids suck at dealing with high levels of stress, well most of them at least.

[Ironzealot7531]

every single one of these kids will grow up to be a serial rapist

[hawaiianpenguin123]

kavya at 0:14 won 2009

[ElevenInfinity]

Kobe Bryant won the Italian National Spelling Bee when he was a youngster living in Italy with his father. If it wasn't for basketball, he said he would've been a neurosurgeon.

[Pianodude11]

0:14 is kavya shivashankar! she was 4th place last year!

[TheClodfather]

And first this year. :D

[bugabuse]

These kids are going to grow up as pedophiles and serial killers.

[ElevenInfinity]

did you know that obama and bill gates were both winners of the national spelling bee in the past? look at where they are now...

[iamshpongled]

lies dude. n00b

[PrestonZero]

Haha you fail. Bill gates scored a 1590 on his SAT's and graduated from Lakeside Highschool around 1973. William Henry Gates dropped out of Harvard College around 1975 to work on a business idea with a guy named Paul Allen. You should read about it. I don't know who has been teaching you these lies about Bill Gates.

[AmericanXcore]

why are all these kids a bunch of fucking retards. why the fuck would there parents trade having a normal child for a freaky genius one? wtf

[bludragwag0nz]

these kids are dumb...when it comes to street smarts...they are quite book smart...but successful people tend to have a balance of the two...so no these kids will not all be our bosses

[GetAwayFromMyCandy]

bludragwag0nz, jealous, much?

[susucachoo]

why are you guys hating on these kids...?

That's pretty lame... hah.

Why be so stereotypical?

[rhich44]

mihrab

alcove

[1337show]

they are all losers because if they were to grow up they would just get picked on and probaly never play sports and weak as heeelll tooo so a spelling be doesnt mean shit just by looking at them you can tell they going to get beat up in school when they grow up unless if they get home schooled

[airarteest]

good for u showing a typical sterotype of america...

what are you to say these kids are losers??

can u even spell one word that was on this video??

[peanut18544]

Man I felt bad for that last kid. What does kalema even mean?

[fastingforperfection]

peanut18544,A very heavy surf breaking on the Guinea coast of Africa during the winter.

[peanut18544]

I don't understand the correlation between knowing how to spell obscure words almost certainly never to be used and useful intelligence.

[oconnorclaire]

GEEKS GEEKS GEEKS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[BubbleYum77]

alot smarter than you!

[abercrombiegal09]

Theyre so smart ^.^

Why so narrow-minded, oconnorclaire?

[bookworm186]

lol, I remember watching the kid at 0:12...and the girl at 0:15 was in this year's spelling bee too! I think this was the year when she was the youngest finalist or something like that...

[Jawsh196]

hell... they're smarter than your smart ass

think before commenting :)

[Jawsh196]

damn it -___-

well guess I'm the idiot now

[BubbleYum77]

hahaha I know them kids are going to be the bosses of people who pick on them lol!

[oconnorclaire]

yehh there smart but i bet they have very few friends!!!

[abercrombiegal09]

no, i bet they do have friends. i think its really dumb how instead of just accepting the fact you'll never be as smart as them, you have to be so bitter to them. and what does friends have anything to do with being smart anyways? stop believing those stupid stereotypes that claim all smart people are geeks with no friends.

[ChineseCommando]

dude my friend made it to nationals and he's a pretty damn cool guy

[Corocco1]

Scripps National Spelling Bee is not the only "bee" in America. Look into the National Geography Bee.

[Hunkola]

I'm so glad ABC decided to broadcast the final round of the Scripps Spelling Bee on primetime TV...we need to show America that being smart is just as important as being able to throw a football or basketball...I think the prize should have been $250,000 and full scholarship to any Ivy League university...show all the American kids that being smart is the most amazing virtue you can have in this world, not athletic ability or looks or having nice things.

[fuzz4jsus]

haha! i actually made it to the scripps national spelling bee. im going in may :) i cant wait!

[picardpwnskirk]

I have a spelling bee tomorrow...

Needless to say, I'm scared now.

[pedazodecola]

cometirish, wow you are ulta conservative are'nt you. Are you saying that liberals are idiots? If you are then you are being an idiot for saying that. Liberals DO have brains and they DO think. I'm guessing you are from either the midwest or the south because what you've said is spoken like a true redneck. If everyone was like these kids, we would all be wearing glasses and wearing awful clothing. The suicide rate would go up because their parents would put to much pressure on them in academics.

[pedazodecola]

just because these kids are geeks doesn't mean all americans are geeks, and we're not. I'm sure you have geeks wherever you live. These kids are definitely geekier than the average american kid.

[johncena61908]

this video blows

[dudelikeok]

what a fucking waste of time and money

[rohannahor1987]

let them have fun! may be you are into somethign that is a big waste of time and money!

[samantha4325]

well thnx 4 wasting my time

[roryoc1]

god america is full of geeks...

[skatebmxandsurf]

i have to say thats extremely ridiculous that your basing this opinion off of a spelling bee video. of fuckin COURSE these kids are geeks, you want a trophy for spotting that out? christ

[yellowtail92]

and it has scattered retards like u which drags america down

[cometirish]

Maybe so, but it's also full of liberals and people who don't even bother to think. We're fortunate to have kids that are so dedicated. Their perseverance should inspire us all. I am proudly one of these so called geeks.

[Gratis250]

Nice 40 seconds of nothingness you've got there.

[GhettoxGothic]

1:18 was cute :3

[andrei75]

spell this: BORING

[sextypething405]

spell this: DONT WATCH IT IF ITS BORING SHIT FOR BRAINS.

[andrei75]

did you mean "DON'T watch it if IT'S boring..."? Because I would have expected at least this much from a spelling bee fan...

[1888junkteam]

i bet i kould vin that tournement

[siffil8]

I'm in my 30s and I love watching spelling bees. I now wish I could've gone farther with spelling when i was young & then gone on to the nat'l but i wasn't driven enough to study word origins.

[charmedonetwo3]

im in that this year!

[yondaime597]

i could barely win. i bet i would get out on the first word. I won classwide now to win schoolwide for 07

[LtUnreal]

Um, I wish I was there, half of those people were morons to be honest.

[Stormrose]

Yay first comment... Go speller 1!
