Trump would never rig anything. /s
This just doesn’t matter.
Was the show rigged? Maybe.
I don’t care. This is pretty meaningless stuff.

I don’t even know how they go about determing who becomes the finalists, because I don’t watch the show.
Just more “reality” TV.
So, were the sports books downstairs and in other places like the “M” casino taking action on this?
If so, this could be bigger than just another false TV show premise.
Will Trump apologize to the first contestant now? Or will he use his money and power to destroy this contestant also?
Trump has a credibilty problem here and he wants to keep it quiet.
My family and I were in Las Vegas in 2010 during the time the Miss Universe was at the Mandalay Bay. We splurged and got tickets for the wife and 2 daughters. Of course I did not go and played poker instead. Before the broadcast the hosts mentioned it is to paraphrase a “scripted” show. The two biggest fan bases were Filipanos and Mexicans. Guess who made the finals Miss Mexico, the eventual winner, and Miss Phillipines.
We need Congressional hearings on this!
Maybe Bill Clinton and John Edwards could co-chair a Special Commission on Beauty Pageants. Perhaps Barney Frank could be Special Prosecutor since he could be impartial.
the fact that Pia Zadora was one of the Top 5 gave her a clue...
Just like DWTS, no real talent, winners are determined by home voters. If it was a true talent dance show it would be up to the judges to declare a winner. But even then, there would be some collusion. Better that than a popularity show. No TV talent show winner is determined by talent alone.
All I know is that my wife and I thought four out of five of the finalists were serious poster prospects for Purina Dog Chow. Miss Michigan, a stunningly beautiful woman, didn’t even make it to the final ten.
I looked at that final five and I said, “Man, what’s going on here?” It was strange.
I’ll have to say, those judges looked as if Trump had picked them from the grade C level personalities. That guy Kardashian that they’re trying desperately to turn into a sex symbol was one of them. FAIL!!! About half of them were absolutely laughable.
Television has gone through plastic and is coming out the other side as surreal.
The questions to the finalists are so bizarre that you half expect them to ask, “Finalist number three, is it okay for people to marry their pets?” “Well, I don’t see why not. Pets are people too...”
I remember back in the 1950s or early 1960s we were watching a LIVE TV broadcast of the Miss America Pageant.
The show still had an hour to and we flipped on the radio for some reason and found the winner had already been chosen and her name.
I never believed in LIVE broadcasts again.
The Donald has some ‘splainin’ to do!............
I am willing to console the losers.
A very quick and easy solution is to go to the bookies sheets in Vegas. If they show large changes in bets or odds during the contest, nuff said.
You’ve been TRumPed!
what an asshat.
Second Miss Dubhai Camel Beauty Contestant says she overheard list of Top 5 finalists before live announcement, calls for fatwah on Donald Hump
Wait, people actually think pageants actually work the way they look on TV? Come one people think, it’s a judged competition with no known or published point system and a bunch of info flowing from the contestants to the judges before the pageant. Yes most of the time the final 5 and probably even the winner are known long before cameras start to roll. And no that doesn’t make it fixed, you have to be a sport to be fixed, it’s a pageant, it’s a cheap excuse to flaunt pretty women.
