Tonight is the always exciting final of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, and the hero of the night had been young Jacob Williamson, who won the hearts of everyone watching the competition with his unbridled enthusiasm. It was a foregone conclusion that Jacob was going to take home the title, but then he flamed out in spectacular fashion, crushing his hopes and dreams, and the hopes and dreams of everyone rooting for him.
I feel bad for the kid, even if he did put the cart before the horse or something. Finishing in the Top 7 of the National Spelling Bee is something to be proud of, and guaranteed to snag Jacob some spelling bee groupies.
