While it's pretty neat (yeah, we used the word "neat") that the Scripps National Spelling Bee ended in a tie for the first time in 52 years, all we want to talk about is this contestant, Jacob. He is the best thing to happen to a spelling bee since…ever.

When 15-year-old Jacob Williamson from Cape Coral, Fla., took the stage, he was presented with his next word: kabaragoya. And he totally knew how to spell it, you guys.

"I know it, I know it! I totally know it!" he screamed confidently to the crowd after hearing his word.

And then he misspelled it.

When he heard the bell that signaled his error, his reaction is just priceless. But he handled his defeat like a champ, and we are now officially obsessed with him.

Jacob for president, y'all.
