Yes. I saw part of it during lunch, though I missed the fainting spell. The lunchtime crowd at the restaurant I was in was glued to the TV. A lot of those kids looked like they were going to faint. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
Spelling bee spoilers
Update: Fainting kid is still in it, just spelled "scheherazadian" correctly, and is going to win it all or come in second. They're on round 13. Only one other kid left. "Lyophilize" was the word he spelled after the fainting spell.
Second update: Fainting kid just lost it all. He misspelled "schwarmerei." He spelled it "svermari." His advesary correctly spelled "gaminerie." Worse news for fainting kid: his older brother won it all two years ago.
