"Some people did say I shouldn't have won because I'm British. But really I think the people who said that just said it because they didn't win," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

What an idiot. Hey, Brit, they are bitching because you are NOT an American teen. She shouldn't have been allowed to enter.

“natural beauty”...should that read beauties?

[Hacklehead]

It looks like she has a deformed upper lip.

She doesn’t look anything like the real beauty......Catherine Zeta Jones from Wales who is now an American. Aren’t we lucky to have her!!!! Yes. They can keep this perfect Teen over in Wales.

Gal is about as Irish as I am.

(Which is none, I’m 100% German/Dutch)

The other contestants.

“Perfect” teen my arse...by the way she handled it by her arrogant remark, she’s a universe away from “perfect’.

The America's Perfect Teen contest, which included girls as young as 13, has a big following in the States.

It does? First I've heard of it....

Catherine Zeta Jones from Wales who is now an American.

Welsh is not Irish. Neither is it Scots, nor British. Always remember that Wales is the ancient thumb in the eye of Britain. We’re the ones who reportedly “ate our young.” Not all of this young lady’s ancestors hail from Wales. That’s certain — immigrated there, perhaps, but her roots are not so deep. Dark hair is native to the Isle, but the rest of her features are not.

She is, however, quite lovely and will age beautifully — whether deserving of “American” teen, or not.

“natural beauty”........ Really???

[napscoordinator]

British???? What? lol. Do Welsh consider themselves British? I am so confused. :) Did she go from Welsh to British and not American?

[TheThirdRuffian]

“She’s British.”

Yes, and a square is also a rectangle.

Last time I checked, Wales is still part of the UK.

[wtc911]

Welsh by way of the Punjab.

It looks like an Elvis Presley pose to me!

[Constitutions Grandchild]

As is Scotland. Try asking the Scots if they’re British. I think you will receive the same response in Wales. Being part of the UK is certainly true, but it doesn’t mean they’re British. The “United” part of the “Kingdom” is only so they won’t continue to bludgeon each other into obscurity.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

So it would seem.

(Cue Donald Sutherland) "Neeee - ver heard of it."

[James C. Bennett]

I know, I was pointing out that she isn’t American. The Welsh are British.
