ok before we begin i just want to say that this is the fourteenth annual spelling bee the eighth that has been broadcast live on the bellman media center we have a great crew here who's been with the salt day there's crew up here on the front table we have the inimitable and man actually she's not inimitable because she's been imitated here in this picture you can determine if it's a good likeness or not she's also a sponsor and man is one of the pronouncers lori graham the other pronouncer who is a former chair of the school committee still on the school committee suzanne al kaka retired kindergarten teacher at burbank who's first time here i believe this evening first time involved with a b r empire and and luzhin a is the timer and she is also on the school committee so i'm greg stone we also have jamie shea who is the president of the foundation for bomb on education and with seven hundred thirty four spellers is that right seven hundred and seven hundred thirty four no wait i seventy seven hundred thirty four up from six hundred thirty last year we expect to raise twenty thousand bucks if we  don't and man is going to make up the difference ok so without further ado i'm

for these eleven teams in the final round now now i want to point something out who is the winner tonight everybody's the winner but i should say what in particular is the winner in english language the english language is the winner by the way what makes english distinctive the most words brilliant by the way i heard this is an interesting fact i don't know if it's true that by twenty fifty by twenty fifty french will spoken in more places than english i think due to the african influence so that will be interesting so if you're learning any language other than french drop it right now and switch ok anybody have any questions you guys all know what to expect the right questions thoughts everybody ready everybody is all set ok these guys are primed they're ready and let's go actually let's have a big huge round of ok everybody stamp your feet stamp your feet stamp your feet come on stamp i'm come on ok we all set pronouncers everybody knows the rules let's rock ok you all know the rules you know that you need to write nice and big so that we can see it you know the in twenty seconds and we'll give you a ten second warning the only thing that i want to tell you don't know race anything until we tell you but the one thing is that we're starting off list right now so no more words that you've memorized these are all going to be off a list ok all right so your first word is belligerent hughes ornery and belligerent attitude did not help him in the classroom that's eleven i'm sorry don't race until we tell you to remember guys please there might be a question these are tough words guys again we're so proud you have made it to the final round this is big time right everybody's got an ice cream from their parents on the way home all right bill you're welcome mom and

very proud talk to each other ameliorate your number please just a little bit put your number in a in a one of these please q ok so let's recap we have three teams left we have team to the champions katherine by irene come on guys come on guys big hand began big ok what you guys drop i mean if you have you have two left ok you want to put just put those down that's fine ok let me point out the obvious all three of these teams have to  ladies and gentlemen we've gone from belligerent to synopsis to ameliorate to caraballo try to connect those things logically impossible actually we should sign that write a story about those four words somebody's head and here's here's what i say to team two i said do not despair even though you have one stinger left and i say this to team teams five the killer bees and teams eleven spellers don't get overconfident ok let's look at your wor well guess what ok how many people in the audience drive honda odyssey  this is one of the few times in life where you can cheer about being wrong right when you're all wrong ok let's have a round for these guys round of applause  s and the next word which will be the eighth is papa razzi justin bieber who i don't listen to but i suppose you guys do sometimes has trouble with you know it's very interesting i don't know if you guys can see from where you are but there are a lot of different styles up here some teams write it fast and then they just relax and some teams are scrambling until the very end so it's very interesting ok the next word is euphemistically mrs thomas always spoke euphemistically much to the annoyance of her husband who preferred the cold hard truth doesn't count because everybody got a wrong right ok so ladies and gentlemen let's recap here ok we have the champions with one stinger left we have the killer bees with two stingers left and we have a dog that's da belmont spellers with one stinger left so they're fighting valiantly as we go to our one two three four five six seven eight nine tenths word ok the next word is conscience charlie's conscience bothered him when he realized he had taken a candy bar that he didn't pay for conscience and then and then there were two team five is the killer bees and team eleven is generally spellers as we go to our twelfth word all right for breakfast my favorite think the eat is a croissant a croissant with some hot butter and a little cinnamon croissant ok one day after halloween we go to word thirteen existence to conscience to quote song to onomatopoeia and the fourteenth word shelby high brushing your teeth morning and night shows good hygiene word fifteen coming up ted this next word in coates even though his novel was in its new and undeveloped in coates stage he was very excited to be writing in coates ok this is approaching unprecedented territory i don't think we're there yet i think we've had as many as twenty rounds in the finals if i had not mistaken but anyway this is number seventeen eighteenth word exhilaration conscience existence euphemistically proper picker esque odyssey innocuous caribou ameliorates synopsis and belligerent which is phenomenal this is number twenty ok guys i'm going to get a stinger  ok ladies and gentlemen and quiet please we have pam corrales who is the manager at belmont savings bank in town who is going to present the awards so let's listen respectfully if we
