The field of 288 spellers is set, including four-timer Anqi Dong and the other twenty-one regional Canadian entrants who just competed in the CanWest Canspell National Bee. Over the coming weeks, we'll be scouting our neighbors to the north, the seventeen 3-year-plus repeaters (including two members of the Five Timers Club), as well as new entrants like Mallika Govindan of Lancaster, MA, who's preparing for the Bee by studying all about German, Italian and French foods, as well as watching America's Next Top Model. That's our kind of competitor.
I am happy to announce that Shonda will be back to guest-blog, as will our former Bee finalist guest-bloggers Heather and Rafael. But I didn't seek them out -- they each came here because they loved talking about the Bee and had something they wanted to share. So if you're a Bee veteran, Bee parent, tv writer/executive producer/creator or anyone else with insight to share, we want you to join us -- email me at the address provided if you've got something you want to say at length, or just start posting in the comments. And Samir, if you're out there ...
