Miss America will be more like a pig party. I suspect that future Miss Americas will not be competitive in international contests.

Miss America is supposed to be the prettiest women in America.

Let's face it, absolutely no women who are under 5'10" would be allowed (I've taught some absolutely gorgeous 5'2" women), and no women who were just high school graduates, or who would want nothing more than to be just housewives and have a great husband and children (instead of owning their own boutique), will ever be finalist in those ridiculous pageants.

You could put 3 guys at a table, give them pitchers of beer and lots of chips, and they'd pick a lot better looking finalist than ever were picked on those shows.

“We are no longer a pageant,” Gretchen Carlson, the first former Miss America...”We are a competition.”

Why compete? All contestants should be winners.

I suspect there was some “Weinsteining” going on over the years.

Carlson got moved off the Fox & Friends curvy couch to another show because she wasn’t getting along with her cohosts. She *was* getting long in the tooth, and viewers did not like looking at her thickening hips & thighs stuffed into age inappropriate miniskirts. Ailes made her wealthy, and she was ok with his antics until she got p’od about her status change. Then she destroyed Ailes and walked off with a cool $25M settlement. Now she’s going to do the same to the Miss America organization. Say what one will about the former CEO Haskell, he brought the pageant back from the brink. Carlson will push it back over the edge, like the proper PC Leftist Regressive she’s become.

Old Soviet joke:

Deputy Commissar: Our Moscow strip club for foreigners has failed.
Commissar: What happened? Was the food bad?

Deputy Commissar: No. We served the best food available.
Commissar: Then was it the liquor?

Deputy Commissar: No. We served the best vodka available.
Commissar: Then it had to be the dancers.

Deputy Commissar: The dancers were the least of our worries. All of them were good party members for at least 50 years.

“There she is....Miss America! “

I carve my Halloween pumpkins to look like that.

This is so Hillary and Chelsea types can participate?

Or is this guilt driven by previous contestants who used their bodies and looks to get ahead of the less blessed in the looks category?

Ha! Some wagering friends used to make book on those contests every year.

I picked up the phone over there and some guy said: ‘Gimme Miss Alabama and 2”

Yeah, in this case they used a jack-hammer to obliterate an ant. Ouch!
