I don't think she's greek but its great to see a Penn Stater in the competition!

Anyone else vote last night?

I voted for South Caroline, Tennessee, and Hawaii. I'm having my annual Miss America party tonight, where we wear tiaras and make fun of the pageant. :P

I did! Since the hometown girl wasn't in "gold sash contention" I voted for Kansas, South Dakota, California, and Florida - though Indiana and Georgia were right in there. I'll be interested to see who won America's votes! And of course who wins. :)

As much as I should be supporting the gal representing my state, I just can't.

The girl's not even from Hawaii. She was Miss San Jose (or Santa Clara, can't remember) last year and hasn't even been here that long. A lot of the girls I supported from the prelim contests (including a girl from my HS alma mater) all came in so close in multiple attempts. and was in their last year of eligibility. In comes this transplant and takes the crown.

Yes, I know. I'm bitter.

I don't see you as being bitter...I thought you had to meet certain residential qualifications for these titles. I would be pissed too if a girl from outside my state won my state's title.

Either way, Miss Hawaii (Nicole Fox) has made it to the top 15

I'm watching, but haven't been paying much attention. So far, the Top Fifteen I can remember are:

Miss Hawaii (sorry, OTW)
Miss Kentucky (go ADPi!)
Miss South Dakota (one of the gold sash winners)
Miss District of Columbia
Miss Florida
Miss Tennessee (go ChiO!)
Miss Georgia (go Phi Mu!)
Miss Indiana
Miss Alabama (go ChiO!)
Miss Michigan
Miss Delaware
Miss Arkansas
Miss Iowa
Miss New York
Miss California

I think some of those women missed their calling as pole dancers!

Right, like you had to live in the state for x amount of time before you were eligible to compete there?

I always thought there was some sort of rule like that, to keep girls who lived in bigger states (with more competition) from moving to a state or area with fewer contestants JUST to get a title (like if a girl were living in a big state like TX, but didn't want to compete there, she couldn't just move to North Dakota and compete in their state).

I don't remember the first lady in the evening gown, but that white, sparkle bra thing is gross.

Miss Indiana's looks like a wedding dress

I think Miss Iowa's dress is pretty, but it makes her look 8 sizes bigger

Not a fan of Miss NY's dress

I think my faves were the bright red one (looked like Eva Longoria's gown) and the blue one

I have way too much time on my hands and I searched for the requirements to be able to compete in Miss America. Basically, you have to meet the residential characteristics for your state, but when I went to the Miss Hawaii site, I couldn't find any specifics on residential qualifications :confused:

Is it me, or is Miss Arkansas gorgeous?

KSUViolet06 01-24-2009 10:04 PM
I love Miss Iowa's gown.

Miss GA, Miss NY, and Miss CA had really pretty ones too.

Contestants I want to see in Top 10:

California
Georgia
Florida
New York
