I seriously love it! I look forward to it every year. This year was a showdown between two powerhouse veteran kids which was awesome. I don't think either one of them would have faltered for at least a few more hours. Last year there was a lot more drama with it being the first time in 50 years they actually ran out of words and declared co-champs. Makes me think they will expand the championship list now that the top kids are getting so far ahead of the pack.you and @gofriars610 tweets made me turn it on midway through. DH and CP were like wth are you watching but after the first 5 minutes we were all hooked (DH had some great commentary). Those kids must read the dictionary for 6 hours a day since birth. Gokul was my favorite - especially the last word. They tried to make it all pressure filled and dramatic with the "you have to get this word right" and bringing Vanya up to stand near him and they give him the word and BOOM. I didn't even hear him spell it and had to rewind to see it.
Looking forward to next year's #spellingbee party!
Gokul was awesome and I remember him from past years. Love that he wears his Lebron jersey and Jordans . I was #TeamVanya because I've been creepily following her for a few years and she is just so cute and sweet. Both of them are regularly in the finals so it's so interesting to watch them from year to year. Usually I'm annoyed by a tie by I was actually genuinely happy for them because they both really deserved it.
I also think it interests me because I am legitimately a terrible speller. Ex. I had to spell check approximately six words in this post before sending.
