Child MISPRONOUNCES an Answer - Child Genius (S1, E6) | Full Episode | Lifetime

last time eight kids from across the u.s returned  to los angeles for week five of the prestigious   child genius competition to do the very best that  you can ten-year-old graham prayed to survive   another round of math-based questions 64. correct  and managed to make top three for the third week   in a row i don't think graham or i understood  that he could really win this competition   the parents of twelve-year-old ryan temporarily  moved the family to la in hopes of improving   his performance what is the next number 100 a  gamble that paid off with a first place finish   but still left his parents wanting more ryan did  fine however he should have done better we have   a different thing better oh that's true no right  we have a different definition of try your best   okay uh grover cleveland no no yeah go ahead  incorrect franklin d roosevelt spelling   bee queen vanya did poorly narrowly escaping  elimination anya has to strive harder i don't   want her to go home as did math whiz benjamin  pass pass pass imagine foyo is much smaller   and in a shocking turn of events  ten-year-old college student tanishq   got sent home i guess that point really cost  him it was just so unlucky round for him today   messing up with that one little answer reminding  the others that no one is safe from elimination   it's unpredictable it's unexpected there's no  guarantees tonight only six kids remain to compete   for a hundred thousand dollar college fund and  the title of child genius final six competitors   are back at home frantically studying the next  rounds are current events and earth sciences   which will include questions in biology geology  and meteorology as the field narrows there will no   longer be a top three this week only one  competitor will win and one will be sent home   graham has been a high scorer the last few weeks  his mom is proud of his achievements but she's   dreading leaving her other three kids for another  trip to los angeles it's actually really nice to   be home i miss my kids terribly it's really neat  to see graham succeed it's an opportunity i'm   so glad that we did it's just we didn't know it  would be this long we never dreamed he would get   this far even though brian's done a wonderful job  they're missing their mom daddy he doesn't play   with us because he has to work that's right that's  true so brian's working from home so all day they   don't have someone to play with them so there's  a chance we're gonna have to go back out again so   no i don't want you to go back you've already been  gone three weeks is it a lot my eight-year-old is   missing us really bad and i'm starting to miss  her and we don't usually do stuff with one child   we make sure that we're always fair and this  going on for so long it's getting harder the   longer this goes but i have to not let graham  see that because i also want him to do well so   a hundred thousand dollars for his college would  be amazing it would help us tremendously so if you   can handle us going back out wreaths then he could  win a huge prize you want him to win a huge prize   yeah but that prize just for him that's true  but it could help him when he gets older maybe   that'll give us more money to help you with your  college when you have more than one child first   of all that we love them all the same and second  of all that education isn't the most important   thing the most important thing is for us all to  become christians and know god and to be happy in california benjamin is taking a break  from studying to focus on calming his   nerves all right ben let's work on some uh focus  exercises right it has to do with breeding and   moving the chi his counterterrorism specialist  dad is teaching him the ancient art of chinese   energy balancing he's been working really hard  these past few days on preparing for this round   uh spent pretty much 12 to 14 hours at least  each day reviewing the material studying   so we just move some of blood flow and energy  together with it right the technique that i   teach is an ancient chinese art called chi kung  which is all about focusing the energy make a   giant ball of energy bring it in when someone  is in a competition so intense like bina mini   is standing by himself in front of the audience  on that podium with all the lights on the camera   at him and his nose he has a very limited amount  of time to bring out of his memory everything that   he can to answer the question as accurately as he  can that will help him to concentrate and deliver   that performance at that time now a little bit of  balance the last round was harder than i thought   but i have been in this position multiple times  during the competition round two round four   round five and i made it through oh that's good  ben but i'm not gonna be in that position again only six kids are left in the competition and  incredibly two of them catherine and yeji attend   the same school it's been really interesting  having both katherine and me and the top six   smartest kids i guess from the us since both of  us go to the same school and it's a public school   it's like congrats to the school right today we  are to have a practice round the topic is going   to be medical testing on animals should not be  allowed catherine and i we do debate together   and then we also take flu together with the  same teacher we go to spanish together and   we have the same math class so yeah we meet a lot  it's kind of weird though like i had no idea that   catherine was going to be in this competition  until like the first day when i walked in and i   saw her with the second highest score yaiji for  the first time last week yeji bested katherine   hello my name is kathryn on the proper side of the  resolution that medical testing on animals should   be banned but a friendly rivalry is nothing new  since the girls are used to facing off on their   school debate team however in this process  we're killing so many more animals yeti and   catherine are both friendly with each other but  they want to win it's all business it's clear to   me they'll do what it takes to win allow time  to begin now hello my name is yanji and i'm on   the opposition side of this day first i'm going  to point out one thing from the proposition case   and then i'm going to be weighing this today and  explaining why we won you're going to definitely   want to slow that puppy down last week at the  child genius competition yejin did really well   and i think that what she brings out of me  is the competitive part of me i'm pretty   nervous because katherine and she's like  really good good round you guys really nice so these are the ones you've already memorized  right yeah okay to keep ryan focused his parents   moved the family to los angeles for the remainder  of the competition their plan succeeded and ryan   was the first place finisher last week now ryan's  parents hope for a repeat performance and they're   convinced that his brother allen will help push  ryan to the top volcano um it's a mountain that   has a horn no oh ryan did really good in the  last round round five uh the logical reasoning   and problem solving even though ryan did good he  still should focus and even maybe study harder   it's an opening in the earth's crust where  magma reaches the surface also a mountain   that contains such told you it's a mountain  whatever we have alan to continue coach ryan   uh we kind of motivate island to reward him with  some prize for um ryan continue progress tropical i got the volcano first jet stream i got the one  in the volcano correct i'm helping my brother   study for earth science because if he does well  and gets and gets into like the top four then i   also get a prize which is like a computer so  i'm also motivated to help ryan mandel bloom   i'm not gonna do this incorrect i think without  my help ryan would probably wouldn't have gotten   past round four i don't think so i think so  you're you're wasting time oh my god you're   wasting your life coniferous i refuse to  answer until they give you one story forest   i refuse this week there's only six people left  and one person is leaving um but i still i think   it's still gonna be pretty close because if you  make the slightest mistake you could go home coming up what country had thousands of complaints  of electoral fraud syria incorrect afghanistan   i'm really scared that i'm going to get  out uh we wanted to talk to you about   one of the questions in the current  events round can you say my opinion after many intense rounds of competition  testing their knowledge and iqs   only six children remain to battle it  out for the title of child genius and a   hundred thousand dollar college fund today's  rounds are current events and earth sciences   one competitor will go home today  and everyone's feeling the pressure every morning graham usually gets up and looks at  what's going on in the current events and what's   going on in the world i mean it's usually about  hurricanes but i think he might just have some   knowledge coming into this that he might do okay  graham's fascination with hurricanes will also   give him an edge in the earth sciences round  which deals directly with meteorology do you   recognize this right here wilma i'm impressed  that's hurricane camille it has sustained wind   speeds of 190 miles per hour do you recognize  that one hurricane fred in 2009 are you serious   one kid is going home today i have no idea  who that's gonna be because everybody's   studying like this is all they're  ever gonna do for their entire life   i don't know if it's gonna be me or if it's  not gonna be me um but i hope it's not me   i'm i'm very proud of him for going on to  the next round it's just going on longer   than we expected i'm missing my children is this  competition is it do you think it's still worth it   it's worth it for graham at this point in the  competition these kids they may look tired   but they love to think they feed on it  they wouldn't trade it for the world   it's what they were born to do these kids  are like cheetahs fastest land animals on   earth if you can run 70 miles an hour you  will try to run 70 miles an hour and you'll   see that for everybody that's watching this is an  important thing to know the person who wins this   competition is not the smartest person in america  the person that's the best at withstanding torture the tension is brewing and everyone we're all  studying really hard because we want to do the   best that we can i think that i just have to go  out there and do my best catherine started with   yeti with a personal connection on the other hand  they are in school i mean they compete on every   all the subjects i mean everyone has this one  person they probably grow together and little   rivals uh no matter if yeji is her friend  she will be just play hard and do her best for current events i have some background  knowledge because i'm in the debate team at   school and so in debate we have to research  like what's going on and stuff because our   topics are mostly like um current events and so  yeah i have some knowledge from that and then   earth science we just completed earth science at  school so yeah i'm feeling pretty confident today   i think catherine being in the competition  with yeji it motivates her because she   probably does want to do better i'd be  really happy if yeti is the top today   we need to know points and sex it's kind of  scary because like it started off with like   20 kids and now it's by the end of today it's  gonna be only five so it's like really big change   me for 2014 youngest female to climb the summit  of the world's highest peak this competition   there is no gimmies there is no guarantee so  we'll see how the competition goes i'm sorry i'm planning to go all the way to 100 grand  washington state is the only place only state   in america besides colorado which allows marijuana  to be sold that's right okay this is week six of   the competition uh only six competitors left and  i feel totally awesome on the national baseball   hall of fame in blank was dedicated in terms of  the confidence for ryan for this one we are not   very sure because we are not sure we spend enough  time to prepare the materials it's so hard to keep   ryan to be focused he always gets distracted  so that the efficiency is definitely very low   oh my god this week i think it's still  going to be pretty close and right now   i don't think there's any margin for error  because the slightest mistake can make you   go out i do want to be in the top three but  um i don't know if that's going to happen coming up malava horna became the youngest  female to climb to the summit of what mountain   mount everest correct yeah of course i  want edgy to do better than katherine   there was some dissent about whether to  accept the answer i heard what she said   and i heard i thought that was correct um so  we have the tape if if you'd like to see it in today's current events round the competitors  will have two and a half minutes to answer up   to 15 questions correctly the one child with  the lowest combined score from today's rounds   will be leaving the competition ending their  pursuit of a hundred thousand dollar college fund   welcome everyone to week six of the  national child genius competition first up in the current events round ryan after

refers to the loss of ice from a  glacier due to melting or evaporation pass the current events round is over and for some it  went very badly one competitor will be eliminated   today and graham is concerned that he's in danger  how do you think you did on the last round not too   great did you try your best yeah graham's scared  now because he got one of the lower scores and   he doesn't want to go home he wants to stay in  the competition so i'm going to have to help him   be able to handle it because he's a 10 year old it  just matters if you do your best all that matters   okay hello you got in the top six that's crazy  town but if you want to get through you probably   should study before the next round right there  okay finishing in last place has benjamin shaken   dad elon is taking benjamin outside to center his  energy before the next round you go for stable i'll be the main and i am outside and  review some of the breeding exercises and   energy transfer from the martial art also qigong  and tai chi and i think it comes and now allows   him to focus better yep one more time take it in  inhale now push out exhale so he wasn't uh too   far from the next competitor and he believes he's  got a really good chance to do real well in the   next round it's one of his strongest subject earth  sciences he knows that this is you know his last   push he has to make that and pass that well in  order to continue to the next round i've done it   before where i've made a big comeback so i think  i'm going to be able to do one now no problem   after round one vanya and ryan are  tied for first place with victory   within reach vanya's dad keeps her on task time  management you'd learn that better this time   although i think the one question you spent a  little more time than what you wanted to but i   think overall this is how it should be today vanya  is starting out well with a pretty decent score   as always uh we've just tried to quiz her  as best as we can hopefully she'll make it   to the next channel drink some water please  all right drink some water oh yeah thank you ryan's parents have promised alan a computer  if he helps ryan get to the final week of the   competition so each brother has their eye on a  prize the phenomenon in which the normally strong   currents are the equatorial pacific weakened and  warm waters that has piled up el nino relating to   the warm regions of the earth that lie between the  equator and the tropics of cancer and copper corn   tropical ryan perform however maybe he's lucky as  well he's not driven he's not mature and he's not   focused at all a characteristic landscape  formed in regions built of water-soluble   rocks especially limestone i'm gonna continue  helping ryan study so that ryan can get the prize   because i also sort of get the prize and also  because it shows that since i'm smarter than him   everyone will know that i'm smarter  than him and he's the smartest kid   which means i'm smarter than the smartest kid  so which would not make sense because if i'm the   smartest kid in the nation like 12 and under then  technically he doesn't count he doesn't qualify   what action on the glacier creates  icebergs by shedding ice blocking calving   a deep valley during the round the judges ruled  that catherine's pronunciation of nelson mandela   would be reviewed they've seen the tape and now  the judges are calling catherine's family in to   hear their verdict last week catherine watched  her rival ten-year-old college student tanishq   lose a point dispute that sent him home  it was just so unlucky round for him today   messing up with that one little answer so  she understands that every point counts   hi hi i know you wanted to uh meet us yeah uh we  wanted to talk to you about one of the questions   in the current events round while it was going on  there was some dissent about whether to accept the   nelson mandela answer and we went back to the  tape to review it again and katherine actually   said nelson mandurah which we can't accept can  you say my opinion sure so while we're sitting   in the audience i heard what she said and i heard  i thought that was correct so we have the tape if   you'd like to see it okay that's right let's see  it yeah what's interesting is that the parent   knows the child knows the answer so that when  the child says the answer incorrectly they hear   it the way they wanted to hear it and some take  the challenge better than others when it goes   against them this competition offers a fantastic  prize that can change their educational lives   forever whenever there's a lot at stake there's  going to be more argument on july 18th the world   celebrated the day of what first black president  of south africa who died in late 2013. nelson mandela so yeah well i thought i said mandela   unfortunately we can only take what came out of  your mouth though according to rude if it's a   reasonable derivation you can see she is trying  to say that word the problem is you're changing   a letter particularly the e to a u so we can't  take mandurah or mandula even if you said that   all right you're still doing a great job thank you  thank you all right thanks thanks i heard she said   correctly but according to the pronunciation  rules we just respect the ruling and move on   yeji also has an answer under review hi yeji the  child genius question validator needs to see you   real quick she is currently tied with her rival  catherine so if the judges rule in yeji's favor   she will gain a one point advantage over catherine  hi angie there were a few questions that we needed   to review from this morning we found that instead  of saying bergdahl you said bergdod so we can't   accept that answer because that's not a reasonable  pronunciation of how his name is spelled   okay thank you thanks yoji thank you okay  i'm gonna try to do better in the earth   science round and then yeah make up for  it i'll gotta be yeah good news bad news   bad news just same here oh really we we  gotta take i said beau bergdon and it's both   the mozilla i did mendura instead she doesn't  really say that i'm going to win this thing but   i know that she probably wants to win this now  they're going to be competing against each other   yeah of course i wanted to do better

toward the title of   child genius and a hundred thousand dollar college  fund welcome back first up in the earth sciences   round is yeji because i'd pronounce a last name  wrong in the current events around i'm kind of   nervous that i'm closer to elimination so to  be safe i'm going to have to like try harder   and get like at least like one point more than  i'd expected diamonds originate

a very strong performer you're only  saying that because you're a chinese girl   kevin's gotten a perfect score a lot of times  and that's like kind of really like scary she   is officially an alien while some are  outspoken about their feelings on competitors   others are keeping their opinions close  to the vest how competitive do you see   this group of kids being i can't really say  how competitive the other kids are my kid   isn't competitive who would you stay right now is  right there neck and neck with catherine i think   all the kids i mean they have all scored really  really high uh the approach that we take even   when we go to spelling is focus on yourself right  because you're competing against the dictionary   same approach we applied here as well but with  only two weeks until someone takes home a hundred   thousand dollar scholarship everyone is focused  on reaching the finish line congratulations   i think what's interesting about this competition  is each round is a clean slate and if you don't   perform well in one particular round could  get eliminated so i think we should stop   thinking about how well we did this week and  start preparing for the next one coming up   next time on child genius just memorize everything  in here okay it's the last round before the finals   and with only five competitors left oh my god will  you let me set up tensions are at an all-time high   i want to win and i will win no one really wants  to be that one person who drops out when they're   one round away honey if you want to win this  you got to know everything engine incorrect it's   totally a piece of torture you're the one who's  giving me all the pressure one mistake at this   point in the competition philadelphia incorrect  could cost these academic warriors a hundred   thousand dollars there's no room for error i've  dealt with pressure before but nothing at this kiln you
