"I have decided to resign my position as Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012," wrote Monnin. "Effective immediately I have voluntarily, completely, and utterly removed myself from the Miss Universe Organization. In good conscience I can no longer be affiliated in any way with an organization I consider to be fraudulent, lacking in morals, inconsistent, and in many ways trashy. I do not support this system in any way. In my heart I believe in honesty, fair play, a fair opportunity, and high moral integrity, none of which in my opinion are part of this pageant system any longer. Thank you all for your support and understanding as I walk a road I never dreamed I'd need to walk, as I take a stand I never dreamed I'd need to take. After 10 years of competing in a pageant system I once believed in, I now completely and irrevocably separate myself in every way and on every level from the Miss Universe Organization. I remove my support completely and have turned in the title of Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012."

My friend and I tuned in t the contest for the semi-finals and eventual crowning...and Miss Pa. is right. It was a cheap production, hjosted by inane amateurs...adn the contestants had to answer ridiculous questions...and some of the answers were just plain dumb. I’ liked Miss RI, she did the best with the question she got...and (I believe) had to give a polticially correct response to win...but I also very like Miss Maryland (the runner-up) very very much.

It’s a shame this contest was so tawdry..these women deserved better.
