Its not ABOUT WINNIG.

I knwo a miss wyimeing! She is like my sister, but really isin’t just a friend! LAcey!

miss virginia should have won,she isnt anything special at all

Indiana deffinately should have won… she had the nicest rack on er haha.

a bunch of shallow, pathetic and plastic white trailer park trash and that is being polite!

iIagree with what youre saying, but it’s spelled “ladies”. Having a “good example” is important, but must be accompanied by knowlege and eloquence.

The Miss America competition is not a beauty pageant, it is a scholarship competition. Holding the title of Miss America is not just about the crown and the sash; it’s a job. In order to be a Miss America contestant, one must be beautiful as well as have a good personality, be intelligent, and have confidence. It takes a lot more than appearance to even enter into a pageant.

u ppl would not belive this…Miss Virginia…is my teachers cousin!!!! i was so freaked about it. all of us boys wanted to see her…

um i just met Kirsten Haglund today at my school and she talked about her anorexia nervosa and that is not true about how the pagent is all about good looks.

I’m sorry but I’m going to have to disagree with you here flowerhead.. I was personally in Miss Teen Illinois and by no means did it give me a better attitude on life. I have had anorexia for years and finally got it under control, this was the final test for me. Not only did this make me personally have huge body issues, but most of the girls there either did not eat, or threw up their dinner. Yes, it is fun and makes you feel pretty for a weekend, but it also really screws with your head.

It’s completely true. Personality is only a factor in the end when they are comparing two “beauties.” Like ShadiTheGreat said, this is ultimately a superficial contest where “beauty” and physical appearance matters above all else.

How does this teach a good example? These are, after all, contest which value beauty and physical appearance above all else. Sure you can argue that personality is a deciding factor, but I can assure you if you threw in an model against a less then average girl with a great personality there would be a clear winner. This pageant does nothing more than embrace a dated gender code, and reward submissiveness and *** appeal. What type of example is that?

The Miss America Schlorship and Talent compition is not stupid. it is to help young ladys have good examples. i dont care if people want to trash pagents because i know they are to better the attitude of young women and to teach them that looks arent everything. and that its whats on the inside that matters.

what about a Miss Issippi ? why no body talk…

Thank you, I thought Miss USA elect a lady for Miss Universe and Miss America for Miss World … (mistake)

Miss America is more of a scholarship program, where they have to have “platforms”, volunteer, have a talent portion of the contest, etc. Miss USA is purely a beauty pageant; they don’t need to have a talent or volunteer, or have gone to college, etc…

What’s the difference beetween Miss USA and Miss America ???

OOmg I fell asleep watching this.. even American Idol is better, and that’s sad..

that’s how they’ve been doing it in miss america for sometime now.

for some countries they use the same crown for years…and they pass it on…here they give another crown….
