Anyone watching? First time on network television. One girl that was knocked out just got reinstated. Another girl is a sailor. One homeschooler left. And there's a Canadian, too. Back to the action.

Don't they always say it takes some smarts to sail?

[Wild Wassa]

"Urstrache?" ... everyone should have known that.

Smarts? ... the young lady has speed and smarts. The National Spelling Bee was cool.
