Woke up early today to cover the first hour of so of the spelling bee.... So excited, this is LIVE!!!!!!
- First 2 spellers spell a possible suicide round? Both get knocked out quickly.
- As was the case last year, we will begin all of these rounds this year with Arkansas's Esther Park, who knocks off "scholium" before ESPN can put up the correct spelling. That always heightens the blood pressure cuz you don't know if she's spelling correctly word-by-word, but Esther seems confident and sits down with a like, "what, me worry?" look?
Brandon Whitehead straight-faced says, "when I'm a senior I'll join the AARP spelling bee." Instant classic line.
Missed the name of this year's new announcer next to Paul Loeffler, but like the fact "she's watched the spellig bee for years and years now." We'll see how much she knows throughout the day.
