I saw some pageant discussion posts recently saying how lucky Mallory is for having the short reign, that most Miss Americas start getting really tired of the schedule and lifestyle about 2/3 of the way through the year. Deidre Downs was Miss America 2005 during the transition to Vegas, and everyone seems to feel bad for her for having the extra four months.
