HotSpell is an Australian game show, in which children competed against each other in a Spelling bee competition Hosted by Michael Tuahine, it was broadcast in 2007. Chosen from over 1000 applicants 20 children aged from 9 to 13 competed over a series of ten episodes.[1] It consisted of three rounds, first each contestant is asked to spell four increasingly difficult words, then a timed round trying to spell as many words as possible then finally a round where contestants buzz in for the chance to try spell a word.[2]

Debi Enker in the Age wrote "It might be laudable as an exercise in making good spelling seem exciting but as viewing it's fairly d-u-l-l."[3]
