Best of the Bee

  • A series of amusing clips from past National Spelling Bees shown during ABC's broadcast of the 2006 bee. See, spelling bee nerds do have a sense of humor! (And I use the term with no ill intent; I'm a former speller myself...)
    (I'm only uploading this because ABC/ESPN/Scripps, as far as I know, don't sell any videos of the competition to the public. If they ever start doing so, I'll gladly take this down.)

    well, when you are standing there in a stressful situation and your adrenalin starts to go, the natural instinct is to move, but since it's not exactly apropos to go running around screaming at a spelling bee, it's surprising that more kids don't faint from just standing there.
