[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I watched the whole thing. I love the spelling bee! I am amazed at how those final eight did not miss. Unprecedented! It reminds me of how James Holzhauser (sp?) is “breaking” Jeopardy. I didn’t click on your thread earlier because, on DCUM, discussion of the spelling bee usually devolves into bashing of Indian-Americans and tons of stereotypes.[/quote] I'm an earlier poster who said the bee was losing it's charm. I didn't want to go there and I really don't want to bash Indian-Americans, but the bee is also losing its charm because it is turning into a thing for only one cultural sub-group. I get that Indians approach spelling bees the same way whites approach soccer (as an example) but that also makes it less fun and makes it harder to relate to the bees.[/quote]
