Default Re: National Spelling Bee

Is it just me, or did that girl who was profiled keep saying the f word under her breath when she realized she didn't know the word?

I am shocked at how much easier the words twenty years ago were apparently. Kamikaze, croissant, luge? I guess the parents must have ramped up the pressure.

I hate the way ABC is going Olympics-style with all of the in-depth coverage of the individual competitors. The footage is so fake and staged, which takes away from the innocence of the show. And stop interviewing them right after they get knocked out, especially by Stuart Scott! Speaking of fake, those pre-designed exchnages with Mike & Mike are much worse that their usual banter on the radio show. It's similar to Kornheiser's transition.
