I'd never seen a spelling bee or a movie about a spelling bee, so I certainly wasn't expecting to watch the National Spelling Bee last night. However, I got hooked instantly while listening in when I thought I was surfing to find something else to watch.
I couldn't help but marvel at and root for all of them (okay, ALMOST all of them). By the end of the evening, though, I was cheering audibly when Sameer Mishra took home the cash and prizes (about $40K worth). His even-keeled manner and deadpan humor won me over instantly.
If you missed it, you must see this video from whence the title of this post comes, which is when I really started rooting for this kid to win.
