My random observations:
* Why on earth are half of them either in law school or want to go to law school? I was getting annoyed. Law is the "trendy" thing to do now, but sheesh, it seemed a little disproportionate!
* Where can I get one of those guys who held the microphones for the contestants during the introductions? They were hot!
* The male color commentator and host keep on making very male-piggish kind of comments. They're just rubbing me the wrong way
* Am I the only one that would prefer to see more contestants do their talent instead of seeing them in casual clothes, etc?
* This crap with Trista and Ryan is annoying the heck out of me. What does it have to do with Miss America? Neither of them have great personalities
* To answer honeychile's question as to what's missing: entertainment value!
* My favorites (since my KD sister Miss TN did not make it

) : Miss Florida and Miss Oklahoma. Incidentally, both greeks.
