[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a mistake to have 8 winners.  It is part of our superlative and qualitative culture where every kid gets a ribbon and we don't want anyone to feel like they lost or left out.  I don't see why those 8 are more special and deserving than the other thousand or so who were defeated earlier in the competition.  The children should keep being quizzed on words until there is a winner.  IMO it is a big mistake to award the championship to 8 children.[/quote]

They ran out of words to give the kids. They weren’t doing it to be nice. [/quote]

I understand that and I'm not saying this to argue with you but...really...they [i]ran out of words[/i]?  Quick, someone pull up Miriam Webster online.  Not joking.  You stop the action for the day, the grownups work all night to pull new, more difficult words and then you begin again the next morning.  We don't have a lack of words in this country!  Apparently we do have some grownups at Scripps who were unprepared for their contestant group size.  Shame on them.[/quote]
