I watched the show last night, and although I have some reservations about it, I do hope it does some good in revitalizing the popularity and notoriety of being Miss America.
I tried explaining to my two daughters how we always watched the Miss America pageant on tv every year. The woman who won the crown was most definitely a celebrity in the US. And remember watching the talent portion? I loved it - and I was never a pageant girl.
Seems like whenever Donald Trump took over Miss USA and made the whole thing about who was the sexiest (instead of who is most well rounded as well as pretty: a la Miss America) the Miss America pageant began to lose popularity.
Also, we were also speculating if there were any Greeks participating.
