They are children who competed last year. Two of them were competing again this year..one a boy, Samir Patel, was favored to win but he didn't finish in the top twenty.

I watched part of it when there were only four kids left. (Like an NBA game, you wait until the last half of the last quarter to tune in.)
...If i remember correctly, the winiing word did not contain an "e.
"
