Haven’t watched these pageants for some time. Now that they have turned political, I definitely won’t be watching.

The girl looking for a scholarship is probably competing in the Miss America pageant.

politicians, p!mps, etc.—it’s all really warp and woof the same thing isn’t it!

I have NO idea why anyone would watch this soft porn creation of Donald Trump's -- I wouldn't dream of tuning into this, I consider it abusive of young women and I think that the potential negative impact upon young girls of changing the "swimsuit spectacle" into Bondage Lingerie Modeling is simply atrocious.

Donald Trump is an utter loser.

I saw him interviewed, and he literally didn't know the difference between young women in bikinis playing beach volley ball or a group of Miss America contestants decked out in black lace bondage gear.

I mean, really, talk about STUPID.

Anyway, WHY should this crap be broadcast anywhere????

I appreciate her for her mind!!!!!

[kittymyrib]

Why didn’t they ask the Muslim woman about her religion’s jihad on America? Now THAT would be a “hot-button question.”

Frankly, I don’t think the USA pageant did her any favors by having her win. With her advocating birth control and the pole-dancing video, etc., her days may be numbered.

[DBrow]

“you’d think they would have learned to steer clear of hot-button social issues. “

That’s how they get free publicity and generate buzz. Look how many threads there are here!

[SumProVita]

“Haven’t watched these pageants for some time.”

We haven’t either. That will continue.

[Carley]

On the contrary, Trump is loving all the noise about his competition.

[Nonstatist]

Birth control pills are a controlled substance !! Who’d a known?

I don’t know why people can’t get this straight...It’s the Miss America Pagent that has the scholarships NOT Miss USA. Miss USA, owned by Donald Trump, is a straight on Looks Only contest where the winner goes on to compete in Miss Universe. It is Miss America that has the talent portion. I don’t know why Miss USA doesn’t just skip the questions because it’s obvious the Miss USA girls just don’t have the attic space to provide mature answers. But their bumbling does get publicity, which must make Mr. Trump happy.

Not that it matters very much, but the Left has infiltrated this beauty pageant in much the way they have SO MUCH in America and the west over the near-century since the Soviet “colonization” efforts began in the 1920s. It’s all happening by rote now thanks to Gramsci, Alinsky, the Lewises, Cora Weiss, Bernadine Dohrn and all the others who have created the cutouts and trained their useful idiot apparatchik along the way.

I've been convinved that this Miss USA is nothing more than the beuaty pageant's version of Pro-wrestling when they hired that totally unqualified moron -- Perez Hilton -- to be the judge.

...posing for soft-core underwear ads was part of the talent testing

Since this thread has no pics (and is therefore useless), I will have to research this issue before proffering an opinion.

This is the picture of the most recent winner of Miss USA -- RIMA FAKIH. She is the first MUSLIM winner of the pageant.
