1
00:03:59,270 --> 00:04:02,300
Let's get you a sash because
I think you deserve--

2
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:55,490
It's a tie.

3
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:15,610
Which a lot of people
could be wearing those.

4
00:03:09,832 --> 00:03:10,788
Reconnaissance.

5
00:04:11,020 --> 00:04:12,550
It says, I'm smarter than Andy.

6
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:25,270
Thank you, Sophia.

7
00:04:15,610 --> 00:04:19,990
And I know you like to read so
I got you something to read on.

8
00:03:51,216 --> 00:03:52,208
We're out of time.

9
00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:54,740
We're out of time.

10
00:03:52,208 --> 00:03:52,708
Yeah.

11
00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,270
You won.

12
00:03:49,718 --> 00:03:50,218
Amazing.

13
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:54,470
C- U- M- M- E- R- B- U- N- D.

14
00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:04,180
Reconnaissance.

15
00:02:59,020 --> 00:03:00,992
All right.

16
00:03:00,992 --> 00:03:02,200
Let him try to grab this one.

17
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:34,250
O- N- E- S-A-N-T-D-E.

18
00:03:44,740 --> 00:03:45,736
That's ridiculous.

19
00:03:10,788 --> 00:03:13,670
Reconnaissance.

20
00:02:58,130 --> 00:02:59,020
OK, give me one.

21
00:02:42,490 --> 00:02:43,480
She studies words.

22
00:02:33,552 --> 00:02:34,484
Tchotchke.

23
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:18,450
Use it in a sentence, please?

24
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:54,970
Yes.

25
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,130
This is bad.

26
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,130
Reconnaissance.

27
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:21,370
I got you a brand new iPad.

28
00:02:55,512 --> 00:02:56,740
Correct.

29
00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:33,552
That's right.

30
00:03:53,291 --> 00:03:53,990
Yes.

31
00:02:54,970 --> 00:02:55,512
That's right.

32
00:03:52,708 --> 00:03:53,291
We're out of--

33
00:03:37,130 --> 00:03:44,740
R- E- C- O- N- N- A-
I- S- S- A- N-C E.

34
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:57,560
It's a tie.

35
00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:39,640
All right.

36
00:02:34,484 --> 00:02:38,220
What do you mean
it's not a real word?

37
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,510
Tchotchke.

38
00:03:34,250 --> 00:03:35,880
Can you spell reconnaissance?

39
00:02:56,740 --> 00:02:57,240
All right.

40
00:03:55,490 --> 00:03:55,990
Thank you.

41
00:03:50,716 --> 00:03:51,216
You win.

42
00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:05,530
Oh, wow.

43
00:03:26,432 --> 00:03:27,640
Don't look at her.

44
00:03:45,736 --> 00:03:46,732
Reconnaissance.

45
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:41,573
What do you mean
it's not a real word?

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,900
Spell tchotchke.

47
00:03:18,450 --> 00:03:26,432
R- E- C- O-

48
00:02:48,930 --> 00:02:49,490
That I got.

49
00:02:20,510 --> 00:02:22,750
C- H- A- C-

50
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,972
You can't cheat.

51
00:03:54,740 --> 00:03:55,160
Thank you.

52
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:19,880
Tchotchke.

53
00:01:35,338 --> 00:01:36,630
I was trying to grab the apple.

54
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:15,830
Reconnaissance.

55
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,760
Congratulations, Sophia.

56
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:48,330
Toboggan.

57
00:02:12,950 --> 00:02:14,575
Oh, I wish he would've
gotten that one.

58
00:02:22,750 --> 00:02:24,660
No, you're wrong already.

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,180
OK, Sophia?

60
00:01:14,470 --> 00:01:14,970
OK.

61
00:03:50,218 --> 00:03:50,716
You got it.

62
00:01:39,995 --> 00:01:40,495
Spell--

63
00:01:46,170 --> 00:01:47,760
No, you can't do it
without the word.

64
00:01:59,625 --> 00:02:00,615
All right.

65
00:02:12,450 --> 00:02:12,950
Tchotchke.

66
00:01:14,970 --> 00:01:17,510
And then you answer and
spell it but not until you

67
00:02:27,370 --> 00:02:28,180
Tchotchke.

68
00:02:49,490 --> 00:02:51,500
Cummerbund.

69
00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:11,642
You have your hands
behind your back.

70
00:02:18,410 --> 00:02:19,190
Chat--

71
00:02:24,660 --> 00:02:25,618
You know?

72
00:01:31,050 --> 00:01:33,500
Good for you.

73
00:02:41,573 --> 00:02:42,490
This is what she does.

74
00:02:15,582 --> 00:02:17,250
I'll give it to you.

75
00:01:37,922 --> 00:01:38,480
No, I got it.

76
00:02:04,972 --> 00:02:05,680
I'm not cheating.

77
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,810
F- A- T- I- G- U- E. Fatigue.

78
00:01:48,330 --> 00:01:48,830
OK.

79
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:35,338
You can really try.

80
00:02:46,210 --> 00:02:47,680
Don't pay any attention to him.

81
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,400
I'm [INAUDIBLE].

82
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,930
Spell cummerbund.

83
00:02:25,618 --> 00:02:27,370
You know how to spell tchotchke?

84
00:02:28,180 --> 00:02:31,990
T- C- H- O- T- C- H- K- E.

85
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:18,410
Come on, you wanted it.

86
00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:17,750
Grab it.

87
00:01:53,930 --> 00:01:57,080
T- O- B- O- G-G- A- N.

88
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,625
Toboggan, that's right.

89
00:02:14,575 --> 00:02:15,582
Let's see if he--

90
00:01:52,850 --> 00:01:53,930
Toboggan.

91
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:21,180
Here we go.

92
00:01:07,070 --> 00:01:10,100
And so I am going to test you.

93
00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:31,050
That is correct.

94
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,995
Slow.

95
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:24,730
Let's start with
the word fatigue.

96
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:37,922
That was your reflex like that?

97
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,750
So Andy, come here.

98
00:01:44,780 --> 00:01:46,170
All right, go.

99
00:01:24,730 --> 00:01:26,000
Fatigue.

100
00:01:13,433 --> 00:01:14,470
you grab the apple, OK?

101
00:01:04,060 --> 00:01:05,390
Sophia, this is Andy.

102
00:01:02,930 --> 00:01:04,060
Shake hands.

103
00:01:19,177 --> 00:01:19,700
OK?

104
00:01:11,642 --> 00:01:13,433
And when you think you
know how to spell it

105
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:18,677
have the apple in your hand.

106
00:01:18,677 --> 00:01:19,177
OK.

107
00:00:41,810 --> 00:00:42,230
Thank you.

108
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:52,700
All right.

109
00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:33,770
Sophia, have you always
been a good speller?

110
00:00:25,136 --> 00:00:26,085
How are you?

111
00:00:43,397 --> 00:00:45,020
Have you ever cut it?

112
00:00:46,062 --> 00:00:47,270
It could be longer than that?

113
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:07,070
And Andy thinks
he's a smarty pants.

114
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,860
You know who else thinks he's
a good speller is my producer

115
00:00:42,230 --> 00:00:43,397
You have very long hair too.

116
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:36,810
So that really helped me.

117
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:41,810
That's pretty impressive.

118
00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:40,940
You're in fifth grade.

119
00:00:54,860 --> 00:00:55,360
Andy.

120
00:00:15,873 --> 00:00:17,040
to give her a second chance.

121
00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:46,062
You have?

122
00:00:39,303 --> 00:00:40,220
that you had to learn.

123
00:00:09,108 --> 00:00:09,990
and they met again.

124
00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:02,310
There was a spelling bee in
Jackson County, Missouri.

125
00:00:33,770 --> 00:00:35,480
Well, I help my sister.

126
00:00:26,085 --> 00:00:26,585
Good.

127
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:15,873
Up I think she did
so well I wanted

128
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,306
So please welcome
11-year-old Sophia Hoffman.

129
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,108
Then they had to go
back two weeks later,

130
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:12,157
Eventually, a seventh grader
beat out a fifth grader

131
00:00:20,306 --> 00:00:24,170
[MUSIC PLAYING]

132
00:00:36,810 --> 00:00:39,303
Yeah, but those are
some really big words

133
00:00:13,083 --> 00:00:14,250
They call her the runner-up.

134
00:00:06,390 --> 00:00:07,400
Did you hear about this?

135
00:00:12,157 --> 00:00:13,083
named Sophia Hoffman.

136
00:00:24,170 --> 00:00:25,136
Hi.

137
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:06,390
It went on so long
they ran out of words.

138
00:04:26,470 --> 00:04:30,120
[MUSIC PLAYING]

139
00:00:02,310 --> 00:00:04,560
And the finalists
competed for 60 rounds.

140
00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:26,470
We'll be right back.
