Spelling Bee

[Chidoro]

While it's obvoiusly not a sport, I couldn't think of a better place to put this since it is a competition. Did anyone else beside myself get sucked into it last night? 1. The kids were really really good, picking up on point of origin cues, etc. 2. The last 8 or 9 kids left had such unique personalities, it became compelling just to watch them and how they approached and spoke at the mike. There was a bossy chick, an unphasable asian boy, a creepy home-schooled white kid, a black kid with swagger and attitude, and the girl who ended up winning - she would write the words out on her hand while she was giving the answer. I got completely sucked in. Hell, they bumped Grey's Anatomy back at least 20 minutes while the competition was winding up.
