Gretchen Carlson drove the final nail killing the Miss American contest. The funny thing is women are the ones who watch these pageants. I was in LV when they had Miss Universe and the wife and daughters got tickets. The arena was filled with Filipino women rooting for Miss Phillipines. I instead enjoyed the opportunity to play some poker.

Have not watch it in decades but....the only reason I ever did was the swimsuit thing.

I was in LV when they had Miss Universe

I was eating at RAO's at Ceasars Palace during one of these and they all marched past our table to the banquet room. What was striking in person is the LONG legs.

Told my secretary about this, she laughed so hard she spit.

I have a Modest Proposal. Why not have the “Miss America” Pageant at the Mensa National Convention? Each state’s attendees could choose a “Ms Mensa” from their state to compete.

Translation, only ugly Marxist feminazi harpies will win Miss America in the future. Rush Limbaugh was 100% right: “Feminism exists to give unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.”

Just as long as somebody kills them off. They have always been so boring.
Which was okay when only people who attended the event in person had to be bored. After they started broadcasting the things then it interrupted the entertainment of innocent bystanders.

The whole things are just big marketing tools for the fashion and cosmetics industries.

Good riddance.

I want to see super hot chicks.

A reading of 1920s USSR makes this very familiar. This kind of “turn society on it’s head” revolutionary crap was their specialty.

Beauty contests that focus on their thoughts and works, and discourages any observation of their beauty.
Just more of the bizarre crap.

[Snickering Hound]

Since looks aren't going to count, why put it on television and just let them text their opinion in?

[allendale]

This one time beauty pageant has devolved into a politically correct joke. The market place will be the ultimate censor. As the ratings drop and advertisers flee, it backers will lose money and it will end.

[RatRipper]

Women are women. Regardless of the supposed criteria, they will turn it into a cut-throat, women’s version of little boys’ pi$$ing contest. At least it had some redeeming qualities when you got to admire beautiful women when it was on.

Feminazis, being a subset of the radical commie left, poison everything they touch. Who will watch it now? Probably only Feminazis. Ask me if I would bother to advertise with that target market. Trust me, it will collapse of its on weight within five years.

But you may defend your dissertation in your underwear? Am I missing something?

[NewHampshireDuo]

A caller to Laura’s show this AM suggested that the event just move to radio.

Miss America 2018...................

[BlueLancer]

If appearance isn't being considered, all contestants should be required to wear the exact same outfit or outfits, if they appear in more than one. Otherwise, those who have the ability to dress themselves in something more revealing, or more appropriate for their coloration, make-up application abilities, etc, will have an advantage.

And, as a matter of fact, the contestants must all not be allowed to wear make-up of any kind. That's something that is for appearance only, correct? It's gotta go then!

[Pelham]

Beauty contest, out
Swimsuit competition, out

Male viewers, out.

That lib media hog Carlson will kill this off in a few years .
She is still on a lefty media tour.
She will push Trannies and Muzzies and it will die a quick death.
Hiring this one was a self inflected death .

[I want the USA back]

Is it going to be based on IQ? ha ha ha ha ha! You mean, no more airheads who memorized a “visualize world peace” speech? They’ll actually have to say something intelligent? Oh, that’ll be a great TV show - a bunch of ugly-a$$ babes discussing existentialism!

"We will no longer judge our candidates on their outward physical appearance," said Miss America's chairperson Gretchen Carlson.

"We will no longer watch your show," said all heterosexual American males.
