1. DID SHE LAUGH?! wait,...was she SUPPOSED to break character or something?!

2. DID THE BEGINNING SAY SHE GOT KICKED OUT BECAUSE SHE LET GUYS EAT HER PUSSY?! holy shit maybe I'm like, too sex crazed or something

@thatswhatsheread 1. Yes, She was an audience member who volunteered before the show, she had no idea what was going on, just like the other 3 volunteers

2. Kind of, that's whats implied

I watch this over and over and over and over.... This was my favorite performance of spelling bee... the characters throughout the show were H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S.

"Yahtzee!"

@painanator I couldn't have said it better myself. It got old really fast to have Barfee hump the mic stand every time he went up to spell.

The problem with making the characters from spelling bee ridiculous caricatures is that by the end of the show, when it takes a more serious turn, the audience doesn't care. They don't feel a connection to the kids and the quality of the show drops off immediately. In order to pull off a good show rather than a funny show, the audience needs to have an emotional connection with at least one character. Crazy funny doesn't work as well.
