Good job, Adrian! (But did you hear him mispronounce this word?)


I am very happy for Adrian - I picked him as a favorite from the beginning! I do wish he had more of a normal childhood, but as we can see - he just isn't an average kid.

Did anyone else hear him pronounce 'strategy' as 'stragety'?? I rewound it three times to make sure I was hearing right! He is so smart and so accurate on almost everything, it was kind of cute to see him make a little flub. It made me grin!

Yep, hear that. I've heard him make a few other childish little flubs in speech, too -- it's pretty funny.

Were you surprised he "passed" on one of the very simple math questions in the end? They seem to frame him as a math genius, but he doesn't seem to have a real grasp on "advanced" math (this was just multiplying double-digit positive and negative numbers, and he could use paper and pencil).

reply

Yeah, I caught that flub, too, and chuckled. (But Adrian made up for it when he flatly told Arnav that he wasn't going to tell him about the periodic table question--I laughed so hard.)

But my favorite flub this season had to be Claire's answer, "Saturday Night Live" ('live' rhyming with 'give').

now mispronouncing a word does not cont again. Vivic was robbed.

I thought it was so cute how Adrian giggled about "cheeseburger" being put in the place of the word "vaccine." Arnav didn't bat an eye, but somehow I knew it would make Adrian laugh. It shows that he still finds moments to be a child, even in his over-scheduled high school senior life.

I agree. So happy for Adrian!

Yo Adrian, congratulations!

Shout out to Arnav and Claire you were simply amazing!

Great job, CLAIRE!
