The National Spelling Bee began its first rounds today. All of the action can be followed at: www.spellingbee.com.
Also, the championship rounds will be broadcast live on ABC (for the first time) beginning at 8PM EST Thursday evening.
I'm placing my guess on Speller #238, Samir Patel, from Fort Worth, Texas. He will be worth the price of admission for you to watch tomorrow evening. He was HILARIOUS last year when we participated in the Bee!
