Marshall Winchester is a mouth breathing hyper competitive dark horse. He shrieked YES when he realized his word was "rathskeller"and could barely contain his growing glee while spelling. And there are still 18 spellers to go! He may hyperventilate if he makes it to the top 5.
...
2:38pm: John Minnich age 14 and #257 gets the word "ulpan". His immediate response is a long beat of silence followed by a very tortured "WHAT?"I can't say that I blame him.
...
3:02 pm: The Jamaican is down. I repeat: the Jamaican is down.
This year the girls (so dominant in past years) are dropping like flies.
...
3:11 pm: Hannah Rae Smith went down on "cancrizans". Her first response upon hearing the word was to burst out laughing and say, "Whatever."
Another girl bites the dust.
...
3:24 pm: Beginning to think the whole thing will come down to #21 Aliya Deri, a remarkably relaxed girl, our beloved mouth breather Winchester and Spelling BabyGod Samir Patel.
It's like the Rumble in the Jungle only with spelling and actually completely different in every way...
...
3:29 pm: Down to the final six in round 11.
I love his style and his drive but Winchester has facial hair. Can you have facial hair and be in the Bee?
...
3:33 pm: Winchester has been broken by the word "serang"!
Last year's #4, he finishes this year at #5.
