Here’s the thing....I wrote a big blog post on this.
First, Miss USA WAS booed and she was booed BEFORE she fell down. Heard it with my own lying ears.
Then she fell down.
Wow, I thought I was seeing things but okay, she recovered quickly and I admire how she recovered so quickly.
It was AFTER this fall that the booing got really bad and by this time there were two things going on...first, they’d already been booing Miss USA because they are, if I may summarize, assholes. It was obvious from the start that these Mexicans or whoever was in that audience booing, I assume it was Mexicans, wanted to take back that their anger at never being able to create a vibrant democracy despite living in a country filled with a wealth of tourism and oil. They get angry when us foolish Americans complain of their silent invasion of our country.
Here’s the problem....Miss USA DID FALL DOWN.
Come on ladies and gems, this contest requires pitiful little besides looking pretty and walking around. Miss USA failed the walking around test!
I mean, how poised can you be when falling on your butt?
Sure I felt sorry for the woman and I don’t discount that someone could have put butter or something slippery on her shoe, it was obvious there was animosity in that audience.
But to put the woman in the top five after falling on her butt? I would think that this would be an automatic disqualification in a contest where the requirements are that you walk around and remain on your feet. Keeping her in the top five only served to further alienate the audience, not that I care about those heathens.
Anyway, that’s what happened....those Mexicans acted terrible and it wasn’t helped by Miss USA falling down while remaining in the top five.
What say you?
She was actually booed the whole week leading up to the final event on Monday. My theory is the judges felt bad for the poor girl, being jeered all week long then falling down in the finales, they kind of gave her a pass on the fall. Plus she handled herself very well all week long considering how certain people in the audience acted so stupid towards her.
You make some good points.
