Sameer Mishra is warming up.

While Mishra missed his word in round two, his score on the written test propelled him to the oral rounds. Earlier in the competition, he appeared a little nervous at the microphone and struggled with his words. In his last two rounds, he has dispatched his words with more confidence.

Mishra just correctly spelled hyssop in round six, and he will be on ABC this evening.
