"They are going to have longer interviews, is it now an intelligence pageant?"

Roger that. Sounds like they are trying to change it into a very elaborate spelling bee.

I never liked Carlson on Fox & Friends! And, like her even less now!

Add a pie eating contest.

That one has me LOLing, WKY!

Notice that pic of an Islamic beauty pageant. That costume she has on she would be beaten for under Islamic law. I can count at least 10 reasons for that western based Islamic costume is Haraam.

Miss America was dropping the swimsuit and evening-gown competitions and replacing them with an extended onstage interview.

Who on earth is going to watch a interview? We do interviews in our office. They're boring and tedious. Why would I watch an interview on TV? We don't have swimsuit competitions in our office. That makes a swimsuit competition worth watching.

While they have swim suits on.

[Mr Rogers]

Truly - the first beauty pageant that can use radio instead of TV!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Make it radio broadcast . . .

Yep! The mind's eye!

[bigbob]

This should be good news for the Miss Nude Universe pagent ;-)

[Liz]

The contestants dont look that concerned about posing in swimsuits.

[manc]

Same. I was happy when Carlson left FOX.

[mrsmel]

Somehow that picture looks like a computer generated woman.

[EdnaMode]

They know the ratings are going to tank.

Add a pie eating contest.

I got a chuckle out of your sage advice, then got up to do some other stuff. The image of young gals with blueberry pie filling smeared all over their faces came into my mind.

I have been unable to stop laughing since. Either I'm having a neurological event or that's funny.

Liberalism destroys everything it touches.....EVERYTHING, including the Miss America pageant. It is the BORG of this century and should be treated as such.
But hey, they could add a MOXIE drinking contest along with that suggested pie eating contest. Maybe even add a hot dog eating contest too! At least it wouldn’t be some boring “political interview”, and we’d likely to get to see a few of em throw up a little too.
Whoever made these decisions needs to be run out on a rail.

Now I don’t and haven’t ever watched this in probably 40 years, but are they not forgetting their roots? This is a sex-based, appearance-based event and has nothing without it.

[ealgeone]

......but it is possible to admire a woman's beauty and to appreciate her for other qualities, too.

I sure do with my wife everyday!

[Bonemaker]

“And whoever made the decision to make the change should be replaced, if it even remains an ongoing concern.”

That would be Wretched Carlson. She wasn’t satisfied with 20 million from Fox and killing Roger Ailes so she’s killing the pageant.

[bluejean]

It’s not a beauty pageant now, it’s a SJW Q&A competition.
