Throughout the duration of the show, one seems to forget that there has to be a winner. You grow so fond of the characters and their lives and backstories that you forget that only one will win and you have to say goodbye to the others. It's truly saddening.
When I saw it, I almost forgot it was competition. I was just watching and listening to all the back-stories and all of the participants lives, I could care less who won the actual spelling bee!
I won the spelling bee. Twice. No joke. 5th grade and 7th grade, b*tches.
"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you."

Kristin Chenoweth could barely control a Great Dane she trotted onto the stage. "Great, they gave me a dog that weighs five times what I do", she quipped. For the record, she weighs 93 pounds, and has a Maltese.
I was hoping um..i forget her name but she sings about being on the toilet..i was hoping she won.
A dancer might dream to see her name in lights and mean it,
but all she really dreams is to make someone
else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer.
And that is so beautiful-Anonymous
I too wanted the runner-up to win. What a heartbreaking character. And still, the runner-up is so happy at the end. Gosh, I love that kid! What a lovely actor, also!
