I'm sorry but Georgia or Texas should of won. I am disappointed

I'm slightly disappointed as well. I though Oklahoma's answer was the weakest of the three. She is gorgeous though!

i wouldve pushed for georgia or texas as well. but once GA was out, i knew OK was gonna take it.

and i just turned the channel 10 minutes before it was announced.

Her talent was also weak. While she does have a strong voice, she was overly trained and that showed. Maybe she was nervous but I was rooting for GA or TX

I still think Miss Georgia is absolutely beautiful.

I didn't get to watch the pageant tonight due to "24" and "Heroes," so I was glad to have my PC to check.

OTW, I love the way you listed the Top 10--how clever!

Well, I won $20 from a bet with friends. I picked the top three in the order in which they finished.

(Wish I'd been in Vegas!)

Out of the top 5, I was pulling for Miss Mississippi -- I thought her piano skills were amazing. When I saw that Miss Alabama had won Miss Congeniality I said, "Oh well -- it's over for her -- she's too nice to win!"

Technically the pageant hasn't even aired yet here and I figured that some people were busy watching other stuff.

It starts in 45 minutes here but I'm still at work because I've been checking the results all afternoon!

I thought Texas should have won over OK.

I LOVED Georgia's answer. She gave the answer that all of the educators I know would have given.

OK's answer made me throw up in my mouth a little. It was such a classic pageant answer. "I'll make things better for women by wearing my crown and looking strong to them. That will help them when they are still trying to make ends meet. They'll look at me and think how strong I am.":rolleyes:

Even my husband said that OKs answer was weak. Her dress was nice though. Texas did great considering that was only her THIRD pageant! Georgia was gorgeous!

I did not do that well with my top choices--only 2 of 10. :(

Yeah, I thought OK was gonna bomb with the last answer she gave. It wasn't even an answer...I was rooting for Georgia and lost my bet... :(

I think the decision has really already been made before the final question. I think the judges rank them in the order -- based on their overall opinion. Also, the talent is 30% of the final score.

I was totally pulling for Texas or Georgia. They both gave great answers, and I'm a little partial to Georgia because I am an education major myself. I thought that Oklahoma didn't really answer the question. It was how would she change minimum wage and how men typically get paid more than women...and I'm sorry but wearing your crown isn't going to do anything!

My mom and I talked about it and we think OK won because she was "safe'. Georgia's answer in the taped interview that they showed from earlier in the week was pretty bold, I agree with her but it was "bold" for Miss America. OK was a safe bet because she didn't "rock the boat" wit her answers. I really wish Goergia or Texas would of won because I think they both reflect what a woman in the position of Miss America should be (bold, strong, conscious about the global arena). I found Oklahoma (even though she was pretty) to not provide solid, good answers. But maybe that's who the org. wants to represent. I am disappointed but overall I was very impressed with the candidates as a whole this year.

Yay for Miss Washington making the top 10! Wash. never makes the top-whatever in these pageants. I must say I was a little disappointed that the top 5 were all southern, just because the south seems to dominate pageants ;) Well, ok, maybe OK isn't really southern, but close :)

I think what got Miss OK the win on the question was that her answer was short and sweet. you notice how she said a couple of sentences, then stopped? I was really pulling for Georgia (loved the tap dancing and her dress was gorgeous) but her answer actually didn't make much sense...she failed to connect point A and point B. Miss Texas was great, but she rambled on in her answer.

I really like how you get to know the contestants a little better with this pageant than Miss USA. I actually care about who wins when i know a little bit about them and hear them talk. I liked how they showed bits of the personal interview and wish they would do two questions instead of just one, just so you get to hear them talk a little more.
