Miss America: Realty Check

It is a US Territory. Puerto Rico has been in the pageant for a while. Expect to see Miss Northern Mariana Islands soon right behind Miss North Dekota

American Samoa
Baker Island
Howland Island

Johnston Atoll
Kingman Reef
Guam
Midway Islands
Navassa Island
Northern Mariana Islands
Palmyra Atoll
Petrel Islands
Puerto Rico
Serranilla Bank
U.S. Virgin Islands

I want a Michael Urie of my very own!

Hawaii's contestant this year is a joke, and I was very disappointed to see her crowned last June. That's all I shall say about her.

Miss Oklahoma looks...old. I doubt she'll be the 3rd Miss America from Oklahoma in a row. She was "Bottom 3" last night.

I won't even go on about Miss Idaho and the need for hairspray. "This isn't the hair of a beauty queen...this is the hair of a senator's wife!"

I am enjoying the show so far, but it really does look like the "experts" trying to throw some superficiality in there. Though they did have that physical challenge and controversy discussion, it really does seem like everything's based on looks this time around.

LESS IS MORE!

If Miss Puerto Rico was competing I'd almost understand. It's 50 states plus DC plus Virgin Islands. I just find that strange.
