Anyway, I am curious about one thing. In this brave new PC world, if a man self-identifies as a woman, then he is a woman. Will the Miss America folks allow such people to compete? I suppose they will. That would be the logical next step.
“...Miss America is scrapping its swimsuit competition...”
Miss America is scrapping its success!
Not only compete, but win - "He/she is SO brave and courageous..."
>>They are also getting rid of the evening gown portion of the competition. All of this was bound to happen. But I really don’t care, as I haven’t watched the show in years. <<
The 4 straight guys who still watch will no longer do so. Teh gays might stop watching as they can’t snark if there is no evening gown competitions.
I had no idea this contest was ongoing.
Too many contestants with tattoos and body piercings?
Does this mean totally nude?
That’s the only way to save that aging show.
So it’s basically another America’s got talent, or American IDOL, or The Voice? Or is it the gong show? UGH
Cosmic x-ray emitting sarcasm off.
I’ve been hoping for years that they’d ditch the damned swim suits ( they just get in the way)
If you stumble, if you hesitate, you can kiss the crown goodbye. Now if I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times - poise counts! It’s just as important as the others. Swimsuit! Evening wear! Talent! POISE!
(And if Miss Texas had just taped her breasts together she wouldn’t have lost points last year!)
“We are no longer a pageant,” Gretchen Carlson, the first former Miss America...”We are a competition.”
Soon to be an Olympic sport.
Hey Grechen, how about a burka competition? Might as well go all the way.
This is good news, now there is no part of me that regrets not watching it ever.
You mean we have to start watching it for the talent?

Your new Miss America could be a Susan Boyle.
And the event loses its three remaining viewers.

“I personally believe
that
U.S. Americans are unable to do so
because,
uhmmm,
some
people out there in our nation don’t have maps and uh,
I believe that our,
I,
education like such as
uh,
South Africa,
and uh,
the Iraq,
everywhere
like
such as,
and
I believe that they should,
uhhh,
our education over here in the US should help the US,
uh,
should help South Africa,
it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.”
Yep. Who wants to look at their figures when we can listen to these women?
If she is not pretty, I think its a dumb thing. Lets face it, Miss America is supposed to be the prettiest women in America. So she is basically a model and spokes women. If she is not pretty nobody cares. And by the way, few people care now. Victoria Secret and Sports Illustrated took prettiest women away from Miss America long time ago.
So, just rename it TED MACK’S ORIGINAL AMATEUR HOUR w/o Ted Mack.
I still remember when Amos McCoy(The Real McCoys) got his first TV. The old man puts on his thick glasses and watched-—the 1950s beauty pageant bathing suit competition on the round tube.
