00:00Cheers and applause
00:16Kia ora e hoa mā!
00:23Jeez Time Flies, hard to believe it but here we are, already in the second episode of the
00:28second season of Guy Montgomery's Guymon Spelling Bee.
00:32Two, the only even prime number.
00:35Whoa, it must be a lonely life for the number two.
00:38Unable to relate to any of its even-numbered siblings.
00:42And what do you call a number that isn't a prime number?
00:44A composite number.
00:46And what do you call this information?
00:48Irrelevant, because we're here to spell!
00:51On tonight's show,
00:56two times two equals four contestants
00:59who'll spell their little brains out
01:01all in the hopes of impressing the nation
01:02and, most importantly, winning television's greatest prize.
01:06It's this!
01:07Oh!
01:09Passage to next week's episode.
01:11And if that isn't enough reason to get invested,
01:14then wait until you hear what happens to the loser.
01:16They're going to have to drag their dumb ass
01:18over to that corner and wear that hat.
01:21It is an unfashionable hat.
01:26Now you know what's going on,
01:28let's meet the people who are going to spell the words.
01:30Please welcome PAX Society!
01:34Justin Smith!
01:38Robbie Nicholls!
01:40And our defending champion, Nino Yama!
01:46And now that everyone's acquainted, let's get spelling!
01:52In this round, our spellers take their first tentative steps
01:56towards showcasing their spelling competence.
01:58I have before me three different vessels,
02:00each containing kupu, or words of varying degrees of difficulty.
02:04Words in the Coward's Cup are for the faint of heart.
02:07Easy to spell words, worth one point.
02:09Words in the person's purse are for the regular of heart.
02:12Medium to spell words, worth two points.
02:15Words in the Bucket of Bravery
02:16are for those with really unusually strong hearts.
02:20These are difficult to spell.
02:21I mean, I can barely pronounce some of these words.
02:24For a correct spelling, you get three points.
02:26And for a correct pronunciation, somehow, I don't get a damn thing.
02:30Our first speller tonight is recognisable to audiences
02:33for his award-winning sitcom Raised by Refugees.
02:36But to win an award tonight, he'll need to know that I goes before E,
02:39except after C, it's PAX Society!
02:45APPLAUSE
02:48PAX!
02:49Yes, Guy?
02:50You are one of the most prodigious television hosts in the country.
02:53Yes.
02:54So can I say thank you for letting me host this show?
02:57Yeah.
02:58They asked me to do it.
02:59Oh, damn!
03:00Yeah.
03:01That stings, I'm not going to lie.
03:04Yeah, I'm really happy to be here, Guy.
03:05I'm happy to have you.
03:06Are you a strong speller?
03:08I'm exceptionally bad.
03:10Oh, really?
03:11Yeah, I'm also a little bit dyslexic.
03:12Oh, wow.
03:14You know what they say, Guy?
03:15What do they say?
03:16You spell with your heart, not your mind.
03:18Who says that?
03:19No-one.
03:20But I am going to live by that motto that I've just created right now.
03:25All right.
03:26So, OK, you're a bad speller.
03:28Yeah.
03:29And we're excited to see you showcase that on national television tonight.
03:32Which receptacle would you like to spell from?
03:34Here's the thing.
03:35If I go for the Cowards' Cup and then I misspell the easy word,
03:38that's more embarrassing... Yes.
03:40..than if I misspell a word that's absurdly hard.
03:42That is true.
03:43So I'm going to go for the big boy one.
03:45Oh!
03:46Go for the Bucket of Bravery.
03:48All right, let's hear it for Pax from the Bucket!
03:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
03:53And, Pax... Yes?
03:54..your word... Yeah?
03:56..is ingenious.
03:58OK.
03:59To help you along, you can ask for a language of origin,
04:02a definition and to hear the word in a sentence.
04:05Can I hear the language of origin, please?
04:07University.
04:08LAUGHTER
04:10Huh?
04:12Just reading what it says on the card.
04:14All right. Can I hear it in a sentence?
04:17When Mr Curie had sex with his wife,
04:21Nobel Prize-winning scientist Marie Curie,
04:24you could say he was...
04:27LAUGHTER
04:32..ingenious.
04:33LAUGHTER
04:36SNORES
04:38LAUGHTER
04:40The sentence is a bit tricky because, obviously,
04:43at the end it should say,
04:44Marie Curie, she was ingenious.
04:47What?
04:48LAUGHTER
04:49What do you mean?
04:50Well, I guess, just to clarify,
04:52so the sentence I gave you...
04:54Yeah?
04:55..when I said you could say he was ingenious...
04:57Yes?
04:58..that was a real tricksy bit of language from me.
05:01And that was referring to...
05:02And that's hitting ingenious...
05:04Yes?
05:05Those are two separate words.
05:07LAUGHTER
05:10OK, do I spell it now?
05:11You're going to ask for a definition or you can just spell?
05:13I know what it means, man.
05:14OK.
05:15LAUGHTER
05:16Otherwise I wouldn't have laughed at that last joke.
05:18Yeah, yeah.
05:19OK, fine, OK, fine, give me the definition.
05:21You're looking at it.
05:23LAUGHTER
05:26I used to really like you, man.
05:28LAUGHTER
05:30I-N-G-E-N-I-U-S.
05:38That is incorrect.
05:40Did everyone know that I was doing it wrong?
05:43Some of them.
05:44Thank you for not telling me!
05:46Ingenious is spelled I-N-G-E-N-I-O-U-S.
05:52They put an O in there for the geniuses.
05:55Also, English is my second language.
05:57I don't think it would have made a difference.
05:59OK.
06:00LAUGHTER
06:01Our second contestant has sent me upwards of five emails
06:04in the last ten years,
06:05and not one of them has had a spelling mistake.
06:07It's Justine Smith!
06:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
06:11Justine, a pleasure to see you.
06:14Without being horribly offensive...
06:16Oh, here we go.
06:17..do you feel at a disadvantage because,
06:19compared to the other contestants,
06:21you went to school the longest time ago?
06:23No, I've thought about this guy,
06:25so I feel that's an advantage,
06:27because I grew up without texting
06:29and all that English-mangling kind of stuff.
06:32So this would make you a confident speller?
06:34I am a confident speller,
06:36so much in that I will not go into a cafe
06:39if they spelled avocado with two As.
06:41Are you reading the menu from outside?
06:43I am making a lot of decisions before I walk in.
06:46There is two As in avocado, though.
06:48I mean...
06:49LAUGHTER
06:51Strictly speaking.
06:52Robbie...
06:53Sorry, sorry.
06:54I thought you meant, like, av-vocado.
06:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:57I thought you meant, like, av-vocado.
06:59I think we can all agree that this is my turn, so...
07:02LAUGHTER
07:04Well, Justine, it's a pleasure to have you here.
07:06Thank you, darling.
07:07Which receptacle would you like to spell?
07:09Even though I could spell indigenous,
07:11I'm going to go for the...
07:13LAUGHTER
07:15..ingenious.
07:16I'm going to go...
07:17I think you might have concussed yourself.
07:20LAUGHTER
07:22To be fair...
07:24I can spell both of those.
07:26But I think I'm going to play it quite cool this round,
07:29and even though I don't like the word purse,
07:31I'm going to go for the person's purse.
07:33Certainly. A purse for the lady.
07:36That's why I don't like it.
07:37Yeah, I know. I thought you'd say that.
07:39Your word for the person's purse is...
07:44Could you use it in a sentence, please?
07:46Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.
07:50Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens.
07:54Brown paper packages tied up with strings.
07:57These are a few of the lyrics from a song...
08:01LAUGHTER
08:02..in The Sound Of Music.
08:03My favourite film.
08:05LAUGHTER
08:07APPLAUSE
08:09Favourite. F-A-V-O-U-R-I-T-E.
08:13That is correct!
08:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
08:17Well done, Justine. Two points are yours.
08:20Our next speller is known on the internet
08:22as White Man Behind A Desk,
08:24but it seems today he's undergone a significant personality change
08:27to become a white man behind a podium.
08:29It's Robbie Nicholl!
08:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
08:34Robbie, you are known to use long words,
08:37or to use your vernacular, really long words.
08:41But how do you like to spell them?
08:43I like spelling, Guy.
08:45Um, this is a huge deal for me.
08:48I love this show. Oh, wow.
08:50And fun fact is that I actually developed a crush
08:55on my current girlfriend seeing her on this show.
08:59Oh, my gosh.
09:01This means a lot. Yes.
09:03I also have general anxiety disorder
09:06and will probably spiral at some point, so...
09:09Wow! Love hate!
09:11And that goes to everyone at home.
09:13If you like someone that you see on TV, send them a message.
09:18Make it as lewd as you like.
09:21It always works out.
09:23LAUGHTER
09:25Um, I'm going to split the difference and go person's purse,
09:28cos it's worked so far, Guy.
09:30OK, the person's purse it is.
09:32Thank you. And your word is...
09:35..kayakor.
09:37Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
09:40OK, can I have the definition, please?
09:43Someone who is paid by the government
09:45to make specifically your life miserable from the age of 5 to 18.
09:49OK.
09:51Kayakor.
09:53K-A-I-A...
09:56..K-O.
09:58That is correct!
10:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
10:02Well done, Robbie. The points are yours.
10:05Finally, the best speller on the show
10:07and best friend in the world, it's Nina Oyama!
10:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
10:13Nina, what do you make of this new line-up of spellers?
10:16Um, not as good as round one, but I'll get used to it.
10:20Oh.
10:22I'm retaining my villain status.
10:24Yeah, yeah. You just come over the ditch,
10:26take our jobs, talk your shit.
10:28I love it. OK.
10:30Which receptacle would you like the spell from?
10:33Um, can I go from the bucket of bravery?
10:35You can go from the bucket of bravery. Give it up!
10:37You get a clap. You get a clap for the bucket of bravery.
10:40From the bucket of bravery, your word is...
10:44..anaphylactic.
10:46Oh!
10:48That made me anaphylactic.
10:50Where is it from, the word?
10:53The language of origin? Yes, sorry, the language of origin.
10:56Bees!
10:58What's the definition?
11:00Achoo!
11:02But, like, way more serious.
11:05And, um, how do you spell it?
11:11It's written right here.
11:13Yeah, OK. Um, A-N-A-P-H-Y-L-A-C-T-I-C.
11:26That is correct!
11:28CHEERING
11:34And with that, the spelling round is complete,
11:36and Nina's out in front.
11:38Can she be caught? Almost definitely.
11:40There are four more rounds to go.
11:42And it's almost time for a break,
11:44but not before our contestants have a crack at a brand-new game.
11:47I call it Spell It Worse.
11:53In this game, for the first and only time on the show,
11:56I'm going to encourage our contestants to make an absolute mess
11:59out of one of the world's precious words.
12:01I'm going to give you a word,
12:03and I want to see the worst possible spelling
12:05while not making it completely unrecognisable.
12:08Spell it too well, down the points ladder you will fa-fa-fall.
12:12LAUGHTER
12:14Your word to spell the worst is psoriasis.
12:18Psoriasis, the skin condition we love to have but hate to spell.
12:23You've got one ad break to desecrate psoriasis.
12:26Stick with us, and we'll see how they do shortly!
12:29CHEERING
12:46OK, my, welcome back to Guy Montgomery's Guymon Spelling Bee.
12:50This week's episode is proudly brought to you by fish oil.
12:54We don't know who figured it out,
12:56but somehow they got the oil out of the fish,
12:59and you can put it in your brain.
13:01Fish oil, technically banned as a performance-enhancing drug
13:05in the world of spelling.
13:09When we left you, our spellers were disrespecting the English language,
13:13specifically the word psoriasis.
13:15Hard enough to spell right,
13:17but harder to spell it worse than anyone else.
13:20Let's see how they did.
13:21Pax. Yes.
13:22We'll start with you.
13:24Oh!
13:26LAUGHTER
13:28Can you talk us through your working plea?
13:30Well, I went with the Spanish spelling of...
13:33Um, it's city or sus.
13:35And, um, I used...
13:37The correct spelling is the weird Superman Ss that we would all...
13:40That's some pretty cool Ss.
13:42..do in our textbooks alongside our vivid cocks that we would draw
13:46Math books.
13:47Psoriasus. Yeah, yeah.
13:49I'm not going to lie, it's fun to say.
13:51OK.
13:52Down the line, we go to Justine.
13:54What have you done?
13:55Well, I kind of thought it was some kind of...
13:57Maybe a little bit Greek-sounding.
13:59Then I thought zorba, then I thought zora,
14:01then I thought psoriasis.
14:03Psoriasis.
14:05Psoriasis.
14:06I like it.
14:07It kind of feels Transylvanian.
14:09Yeah.
14:11I want to moisturise your skull!
14:14OK, thank you, Justine.
14:16Robbie, what have you got for us?
14:18I've got this here.
14:19I thought I'd do, like, each syllable is a different word,
14:22a different spelling of the word to make it confusing.
14:25But then I kind of ran out of other words
14:27and then I thought maybe that's a better spelling.
14:29OK.
14:30That's actually easier.
14:31And so then I threw in extra letters at the end.
14:33Yeah.
14:34Just to make it a real challenge.
14:36So the extra letters, they're part of the word?
14:38They're part of the word to make it...
14:40And they're written as extra letters?
14:42They're written psoriasis extra letters.
14:44It's bad spelling.
14:46But those words are spelled correctly.
14:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:49So it's actually also a little bit good spelling.
14:51But you don't pronounce them?
14:53So they're silent.
14:54Yeah, yeah.
14:55So it says psoriasis.
14:59Done.
15:01All right, I appreciate the effort.
15:03Nina, what have you done?
15:05I wrote it differently.
15:08And what was your working there?
15:10I thought everyone would do more letters
15:12so I decided to do less.
15:14Yeah.
15:15Rush.
15:16So you've correctly spelled a different word.
15:19Which is another word for psoriasis?
15:22Yeah, I guess.
15:24But it's not eligible as it is correctly spelled.
15:27Robbie, I'm also going to disqualify you
15:29on account of nailing extra letters.
15:31So it comes down to Justine.
15:33This is literally the only way I'm going to do this.
15:36This is literally the only way I'm going to get points.
15:39And I said it before, I'll say it again.
15:41Psoriasis.
15:42Ooh, this is fun to say.
15:43It's correct.
15:49A point for spelling incorrectly.
15:51Never before, never again.
15:53And it's time for our second game.
15:55It's the Hat Hat.
16:00With a name this good,
16:02you've got to imagine the gameplay is unbeatable.
16:05Let me explain the Hat Hat.
16:06With me is a man of many hats,
16:08one of which is very big.
16:09It's my assistant, Sanjay Patel.
16:15How are you today, Sanjay?
16:17I think it's a bit disingenuous to call me a man of many hats.
16:21OK, why is that?
16:22A man of many hats implies that I've got a variety
16:25of skills and responsibilities.
16:27Whereas in reality, what I do on the show is pretty similar.
16:30I just help with the spelling bee.
16:33OK, noted.
16:36Well, can I ask, what have you got in that big hat?
16:38Well, in this big hat, I do have many hats.
16:43So in this instance...
16:44So in this instance, I am a man of many hats,
16:46but don't you dare call me that behind the scenes, all right?
16:51Wouldn't dream of it.
16:52In this round, each contestant must take a hat
16:55from the Hat Hat and put it on their head.
16:57You will then be asked to spell the hat atop your head.
17:00If you spell it correctly,
17:01you get a point and the right to remove the hat.
17:05If you get it wrong, no point for you,
17:07and also you have to keep the hat on
17:09until your next correct spelling in the episode.
17:12What if the hat is ugly?
17:14I don't want to wear a hat.
17:15Oh, well, if the hat is ugly, you'll wear the hat,
17:17and if you don't want to wear a hat, you'll wear the hat.
17:21It's faultless gameplay.
17:24All right, Sanjay, let the hat selection commence.
17:31So I don't get to choose the hat?
17:33You can't see what hair you're choosing.
17:35OK, I'm sorry.
17:36I want it to be hot.
17:38And, uh...
17:41I'm never taking this off.
17:45Oh, yeah.
17:47That's cute.
17:51Oh!
17:52I'm not mad at it.
17:53It's just a good hat.
17:54Yeah.
17:55And for Pax...
17:58Oh!
18:10It is important to note the hats were drawn at random.
18:17You've got to put the hat on, Pax.
18:23I mean, this feels racially charged.
18:28I treat everyone the same.
18:29Put the friggin' hat on.
18:41Now the hats are firmly upon your heads,
18:43I'll go down the line and ask you to spell your hat.
18:46To help you in this round, you may ask for a language of origin
18:49and an occasion to wear the hat.
18:52Nina, you're up first.
18:54What sort of hat do you think you're wearing?
18:56Oh, like racing hat?
18:58Like a horse racing hat?
19:01That hat's actually called a fascinator,
19:04the centrepiece of every race day outfit.
19:07The fascinator was named as such
19:09because watching horses die for your entertainment
19:12is very fascinating.
19:14And then you can wear it to the funeral afterwards.
19:17I don't think they give those horses funerals.
19:20Ha-ha-ha!
19:23You shouldn't laugh in that.
19:26It's a real juxtaposition.
19:29It's confusing.
19:30You are hard to look at.
19:33Nina?
19:34F-A-S-C-I-N-A-T-E-R?
19:44That is incorrect!
19:47Fascinator is spelt F-A-S-C-I-N-A-T-O-R.
19:53Boo!
19:55Redo.
19:56To be fair, it's super cute though.
19:58Oh my God, thank you.
20:00You don't have to be smart when you're wearing a hat like this.
20:03But it helps.
20:07Robbie?
20:08Hello.
20:09Have you worn something like that before?
20:11No.
20:12I am often quite left-wing on the internet
20:15and I am looking forward to YouTube commenters
20:17having a lot of fun with this image.
20:19I think it'll be really useful for them.
20:23Yeah, they're going to bully you by saying stuff like
20:25Robbie sure looks warm.
20:28The hat you're wearing, it's called a Ushanka.
20:31These hats are most commonly found in countries close to the North Pole.
20:35But for now, one is found on your head.
20:38Until you spell it or any other word right,
20:41your word is Ushanka.
20:43OK, so this is not a Russian hat.
20:45What is the language of origin?
20:47I don't have time to tell you because I'm Russian.
20:50Oh, it is? OK, it is, OK.
20:52All right, I would love to know an occasion in which I can wear it.
20:56Well, if you're anything like me,
20:58it'll be a forthcoming winter holiday to Russia.
21:00I mean, with holiday packages this cheap, you'd be crazy not to.
21:04It's a long flight and I'm thinking of using it
21:06to catch up on the last three years of news.
21:11Ushanka.
21:13Might be wrong right off the bat.
21:16Y-U-S-H-A-N-K-A?
21:23That is incorrect by one letter.
21:27It does not start with a Y.
21:29Oh!
21:30Yeah, so you're going to get really warm.
21:33Ushanka is spelled U-S-H-A-N-K-A
21:37and this couldn't be going better.
21:40Justine. Hello.
21:42Are you a hat person? Yes, I am, actually.
21:44Yeah? Have you ever worn a hat like this before?
21:46Yeah, I own a hat like this. Oh, really?
21:48I thought you looked incredibly comfortable.
21:50Do you know what hat that is?
21:52I think it might be a fedora.
21:54Warm, but that is an akubra.
21:56Oh, yes.
21:57A hat beloved by the Australian cowboy,
22:00or cow bloke, as they call them over there.
22:03This hat is perfect for a day of shielding the sun from your eyes,
22:07chewing on a piece of straw and working 14 hours,
22:10while maintaining a 0.5% blood alcohol level.
22:14It's a beautiful hat, but can you spell it?
22:17Country of origin, please.
22:19Over there, it's called state of origin.
22:25OK, I'm just going to go for it and try and spell it.
22:27A-C-U-B-R-A.
22:29That is incorrect.
22:31Oh!
22:32We're really getting our value for money out of these hats.
22:35Akubra is spelled A-K-U-B-R-A.
22:38That's what I said.
22:40That's not a spelling. This is a spelling.
22:44This is going on a little while.
22:46I'm just going to check in. Sanjay, how are you doing, man?
22:49Yeah, I'm pretty hot.
22:51You're missing some great stuff.
22:55Hacks!
23:00That hat is very becoming on you.
23:02Becoming a pain in the arse, I'll bet.
23:05Is this even a hat?
23:09What's it on?
23:11My face!
23:13And what's on top of your face?
23:15My head.
23:17The balaclava!
23:19The hat for those who want to keep their ears warm
23:21and their face obscured from CCTV footage.
23:24At least if you spell this one incorrectly,
23:26you'll save yourself the embarrassment
23:28because I have no idea who's underneath it.
23:32It really gets you in the vibe, though, right?
23:34The vibe for what?
23:36I feel like doing an aggravated assault right now.
23:39There's a couple of vulnerable white people in the audience.
23:43They look wealthy.
23:46OK, what's the language, man?
23:49Language of origin? Yeah.
23:51Somewhere cold.
23:52Occasion. Give me an occasion.
23:54A trip to the bank.
23:59Balaclava.
24:02B-E-L...
24:06Don't make that noise!
24:08Don't!
24:12Can I start again?
24:16Guys!
24:17When we were coming up with this game,
24:19there wasn't a world where everyone was still in the hat.
24:23It just didn't even occur to us it was possible.
24:28And now you have the indignity of finishing your incorrect spelling.
24:33So what have I said? What have I said?
24:36You said B-E-L.
24:38And the audience went...
24:43B-E-L-I-H-A-T-E-Y-O-U.
24:48No! No!
24:50Balaclava is spelled B-A-L-A-T-L-A-V-A.
24:56That's it for the hat hat,
24:58a beautiful round that ended with Nina still out in front.
25:01Big thanks to Sanjay for helping out.
25:03Sanjay, shall we get you out of there?
25:08What did I miss?
25:09Television history.
25:12We're going to have a break. Don't go anywhere.
25:14And to Pax, Justine, Robbie and Nina,
25:17don't you dare take those hats off!
25:19We'll see you soon with more Climb On Spelling Bee!
25:31Welcome back to Guy Montgomery's Climb On Spelling Bee.
25:42Spelling is a serious business,
25:44but we also aren't afraid to have a bit of fun along the way.
25:51Horsing around, of course, is similar to mucking about.
25:54But in this round, horsing is the name of the round.
25:57Horsing-a-round.
26:00Based on everyone's favourite ethical pastime,
26:02a day at the races.
26:04And it wouldn't be a day at the races without a bookie.
26:07Please welcome Sanjay, the house patel!
26:14In the studio, we have ourselves a race course with four horses,
26:18each representing one of our spellers.
26:20I will go down the line with a list of horse-related words
26:23for contestants to spell.
26:25Spell it correctly,
26:26and your horse trots its merry way down the racetrack.
26:29Spell it incorrectly,
26:30and your horse will stand still in the middle of the track
26:32like it wants to become glue.
26:35First to cross the line will receive four points.
26:38Second place, three points.
26:40Third place, two points.
26:41And last place, one point.
26:43But not only will you be racing,
26:45you will also each have the opportunity to place a bet
26:48on the horse or speller you think will win.
26:51Isn't that right, Sanjay?
26:53Yes, the room is a true guy.
26:55I have set up an illegal horse-racing betting ring.
26:58Don't tell the pigs.
27:01I don't think we should probably be using
27:03that sort of language on the show.
27:05Oh no, don't tell the pigs that we're doing bets
27:07on horse races, not pig races.
27:10Cos then they get jealous.
27:12Of course, thanks for the heads up, Sanjay.
27:14And how does your betting work?
27:16Contestants can bet up to five points,
27:19even if they don't have five points on the horse of their choosing.
27:22All horses pay two to one.
27:24So, starting with Pax, would anyone like to place a bet?
27:28I'd like to place five points on Justine Smith.
27:33Oh!
27:35All right.
27:36You got that, Sanjay?
27:38Yeah, although I think you could probably just rob a bank,
27:40get more points.
27:42Justine?
27:43I'm going to also back myself for five points.
27:47Oh, OK. I like that. You got that?
27:50Yeah, very egotistical, but yes.
27:53Robbie, how are you doing down there?
27:55Are you beating up? Are you sweating, man?
27:57Oh, yeah, it's warm.
27:59Yeah, it's warm for sure.
28:01I'm going to do three points on Justine.
28:03Oh, wow. Justine, a lot of points on you.
28:06And now Nina.
28:08I'm going to go five points on Justine.
28:10Holy moly!
28:12Everyone's put their points on Justine.
28:15You know, we do a lot of prep in the games.
28:17We want to make sure they're all working real nice and proper.
28:20Number one, never had everyone still wearing their hats.
28:25Number two, didn't imagine everyone
28:27just putting their points on one person.
28:30We are, you know, through the looking glass.
28:33Spellers, are you ready?
28:35Yes.
28:36Well, let the race begin!
28:44Pony.
28:45P-O-N-Y.
28:46Correct!
28:47You can take it off if you want.
28:50Jodhpurs.
28:51Jodhpurs.
28:52G-O-D-P-H-U-R-S.
28:55That is incorrect.
28:56What?!
28:57Robbie, your word is thoroughbred.
28:59T-H-O-R-O-U-G-H-B-R-E-D.
29:03Correct!
29:04Secretariat.
29:05Secretariat?
29:07S-E-C-R-I-T-I-A-T?
29:12Incorrect.
29:13The Saddle Club.
29:16T-H-E space S-A-D-D-L-E space C-L-U-B.
29:22Correct!
29:24Ketamine.
29:25Ketamine?
29:26Yeah.
29:28How do you spell Saturday?
29:31K-E-T-A-M-I-N-E.
29:33Correct!
29:34Steeplechase.
29:35S-T-E-E-P-L-E?
29:38C-H-A-S-E.
29:39Correct!
29:40Equus.
29:41E-Q-U-U-S.
29:44Correct!
29:45Trot.
29:46T-R-O-T.
29:47Correct!
29:48Hoiho, the Māori word for horse.
29:50H-O with a macron, I-H-O.
29:52Correct!
29:53Bareback.
29:54B-A-R-E-B-A-C-K.
29:57Correct!
29:58Jockey.
29:59J-O-C-K-E-Y.
30:01Correct!
30:02Canter.
30:03C-A-N-T-A-R?
30:07Incorrect!
30:08Friesian.
30:09Is that a cow?
30:10No, it's a type of horse.
30:12F-R-E-S-I-A-N.
30:15Incorrect!
30:16Shoe.
30:17S-H-O-E.
30:18Correct!
30:19Stridle.
30:20B-R-I-D-A-L.
30:23Incorrect!
30:24Knabstrupper, a Danish breed of circus horse.
30:30N-A-B-S-H-R-O-O-P-A?
30:38Don't worry about it.
30:39Incorrect!
30:41Barlap.
30:42P-H-A-R-G-A-P-A-L-A-P.
30:46Correct!
30:47Hoof.
30:48H-O-O-F.
30:49Correct!
30:50And with that, Robbie Nicholas won the race!
30:53Oh my gosh!
30:55Well done, Robbie!
30:56A scintillating race.
30:58You just can't beat the rush of a day at the Gallops.
31:01Robbie, you take the four points.
31:03Pax and Justine were closest when the race ended,
31:05so you both get three points.
31:06And Nina, you get one.
31:08But that's not all.
31:09Sanjay, you can either pay out or tell them about their debts.
31:13All these guys were goddamn awful at gambling,
31:16so no one got any points from gambling.
31:20I got all 18 points.
31:22Wow!
31:23And what are you going to do with your 18 points?
31:25Put them in savings.
31:26I'm not a gambling addict like these idiots.
31:30Well, that is one wonky-looking scoreboard.
31:33But at least everyone's now hat-free,
31:35except for Nina, who's choosing to still wear her hat.
31:38It's time for an ad,
31:39but we'll be back shortly with more spelling,
31:41more bees and more Guy Montgomery.
31:43Actually, no, there'll be the same amount of bees
31:45in Guy Montgomery, but we will have more spelling!
31:47We'll see you soon!
32:03Welcome back to Guy Montgomery's Guy Monspelling Bee.
32:07So far, our comedians have shown us
32:09that their brains are mostly working.
32:11But does a brain know as much as the nose knows?
32:19It's spell the smell!
32:21And to heighten their sniffing senses,
32:23we've removed the power of sight from all of our spellers.
32:26This game aims to find out whose nose is still working
32:29and who has blown out their septum on mountains of cocaine.
32:34Looking at this group, I'd say it's going to be 50-50.
32:38For this round,
32:39you each have a jar containing a mystery item or substance.
32:43Contestants must open and smell the contents of their jar
32:47before identifying and subsequently spelling the smell.
32:51At no point will I be telling you what to spell.
32:54You must rely entirely on your all-knowing schnoz.
32:57To help you identify your smell,
32:59you may ask who dealt it.
33:01And Nina, you're up first.
33:03Please open your jar and smell your smell before trying to spell.
33:08Oh, this is actually terrifying.
33:11Like, I thought putting my hand inside something would be scary,
33:14but this is somehow scarier.
33:16OK.
33:19Oh, that's actually really nice.
33:24It smells like an old person.
33:27I'm right here!
33:31Um, excuse me, Guy Montgomery, but who dealt it?
33:34An older family member who was both cool and is now dead.
33:41Is this tobacco?
33:43I don't know, Nina.
33:44I feel like it's like a cigarette, but it's like a...
33:47No, it's like tobacco. It's T-A-B-A-C-C-O.
33:51That is not how you spell cigarettes.
33:55Oh!
33:57OK.
33:58Oh, no!
34:00You also spelt tobacco wrong, so...
34:03You don't have a leg to stand on.
34:05And we move down the line now to Robbie.
34:08Hi!
34:09How are you enjoying the goggles, man?
34:11Don't like the goggles!
34:14Just some feedback on the goggles.
34:18Oh, OK.
34:21What's interesting about that is that I haven't a clue.
34:27Hmm.
34:29Very interesting.
34:31I like that you've just given up on spelling.
34:34It's no good!
34:36It's not for me this round.
34:38No use to me!
34:40OK, who dealt it, Guy?
34:42Unilever.
34:44Unilever.
34:46OK.
34:48OK.
34:50They do a lot of products.
34:52Maybe it's toilet cleaner.
34:54T-O-I-L-E-T space C-L-E-A-N-E-R.
34:58That is not how you spell Linz, Africa.
35:11I'm sorry for your loss.
35:13It smelled a lot like toilet cleaner.
35:15It shows why you knew.
35:17To me, it smells like a sexy teenage boy.
35:22You can't say that.
35:24I mean, you cannot say anything now!
35:29Justine, you're up next.
35:31How are you feeling?
35:32I'm just feeling so angry about having to do this
35:34cos this isn't really spelling, but that's fine.
35:36It's about to be.
35:37Cos this is more a Fairfaxer buzz.
35:39OK, everyone be quiet.
35:41I need silence.
35:43What do spiders smell like?
35:45Oh, wait.
35:51You know, Nina, I've heard they smell a lot like bleeding Australians.
35:56Whoa, this is getting tense, Guy!
35:59OK, shush. Shut the f...
36:03OK.
36:08Who dealt it, Guy?
36:10An Italian baker.
36:12Y-E-A-S-T, yeast?
36:15That is not how you spell Focaccia.
36:18I'm so sorry.
36:20Focaccia, of course, spelled F-O-C-A-C-C-I-A.
36:23And how are you going now, can I ask?
36:26I'd like to spell something else starting with F, but that's fine.
36:30That would be homophobic.
36:42You can take your goggles off if you like.
36:44Really nice work just...
36:46Eww! Eww? Yeah.
36:48It's bread.
36:50Yeah, but it's in a jar, looks like.
36:53OK, Pax. Yeah?
36:55You've got a chance to really get a leg up here.
36:57Yeah. No-one has successfully smelled and spelled.
37:00I never thought I'd say this, Guy, but, uh...
37:03I missed the balaclava.
37:12Oh!
37:15For some reason, it smells like my grandmother's inner thigh.
37:22Why were you sniffing that?
37:25Ed, did you have the balaclava on while you were doing it?
37:28We were playing Twister.
37:32Who dealt it?
37:33A collaboration between rain, soil, the sun,
37:36and the true blue Aussie climate.
37:39T-I-G-E-R-B-A-L-M.
37:42That is not how you spell eucalyptus.
37:47Well, you guys just blinded yourselves
37:49and smelt some stuff for absolutely nothing.
37:53And I'm sure that was just as much fun at home
37:55where you couldn't smell a thing as it was here in the studio,
37:58where I also couldn't smell a thing.
38:00We've got to take another quick ad break to balance the books.
38:03Stay right where you are.
38:04The thrilling conclusion of Gaimon Spelling Bee is coming right up!
38:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
38:23Hello, and welcome back to Gaimoncomery's Gaimon Spelling Bee.
38:27And for those who have just joined us, you're embarrassingly late,
38:30but welcome anyway.
38:31You're right on time for our electrifying finale,
38:34aptly titled The Buzz Round.
38:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
38:40It's The Buzz Round, and believe you me,
38:43this is as high-stakes as spelling can get.
38:46I'm going to read out a list of words
38:48at an almost too stressful pace.
38:50If you think you can spell it, buzz in.
38:52Correct answers get a point.
38:54Incorrect ones have a point taken away and cast into the fire.
38:57We go until we are rudely interrupted by the spelling gods.
39:00There are four potential topics,
39:02and we will give the choice to Pax,
39:04desperately trying to climb out from the dunces' corner.
39:07Pax, would you like music, geography, drinks or fashion?
39:13I'm going to go with geography.
39:17A popular choice.
39:20In the great words of Gaimoncomery, let's get spelling.
39:25Globe.
39:26Go ahead, Justine.

40:52Go ahead, Justine.
40:53Oh, that's hard.
40:54M-E-D-I-T-E-R-R-A-N-A-E-N.
41:00Incorrect.
41:01Straight, as in cook.
41:02Go ahead, Robbie.
41:03S-T-R-A-I-T.
41:05Correct.
41:06Straight, as in what you need to be to visit Qatar.

41:13Correct.
41:14Acropolis.
41:15Go ahead, Nina.

41:23G-E-O-P-O-L-I-T-I-C-S.
41:26Correct.
41:29The Olokune Carrot Adventure Park.
41:33Do I have to spell it?
41:34Yes.
41:35You can do it.
41:36T-H-E-O-W-A-K-U...
41:42I'll stop you there.
41:43That is incorrect.
41:44Cartography.
41:45Go ahead, Justine.
41:46C-A-R-T-O-G-O-F-H-Y.

41:53Go ahead, Robbie.
41:54Oh, God.
41:55P-R-I-M-E space M-E-R-I-D-I-A-N?
42:02Correct.
42:03Plateau.
42:06Justine, you have the chance to spell plateau.
42:09P-L-A-T-E-A-U.
42:11That is correct, and that means that we have a tie break.
42:14We have a tie for first place right now.
42:17Justine and Robbie, you are both on four points.
42:20Oh, my God.
42:23I'm really excited.
42:26It is Sudden Death.
42:27So if you buzz in and spell it correctly, you win.
42:30If you buzz in and spell it incorrectly,
42:32the other speller will win.
42:34Are you ready?
42:35Yep.
42:38Wow.
42:39Not even knowing what it is, your word is Chappelle Corby.
42:44Oh!
42:50S-C-H-A-P-P-E-L-L-E-C-O-R-B-Y.
42:57That is incorrect.
43:00Chappelle Corby spelled S-C-H-A-P-E-L-L-E Corby.
43:05So what do you know, the buzz round is over
43:07and we have this episode's winner, it's Robbie Nicholls!
43:10It's Robbie Nicholls!
43:15Boom, boom, boom, boom!
43:18I want you in my room, my room being the studio,
43:21and I want you here next week.
43:23Let's give it up for Robbie one more time!
43:27And, of course, my noble assistant, Sanjay Patel!
43:32And, unfortunately, Nina, you know the rules.
43:37Step on over to the corner and put on your dunces hat
43:40on top of your pre-existing hat.
43:42You deserve nothing more and nothing less.
43:50I've got every hat on from tonight.
43:52And some cigarettes.
43:59A huge thank you to all of us fellas this evening.
44:01Do join us next week as Robbie takes on three new competitors,
44:04I'll be there and I hope you will too.
44:08For now, you may as well call me Air Supply Montgomery
44:11because I'm all out of love.
44:13I'm so lost without you.
44:15Good night, Kaki Ta'ano!
