Miss America: Realty Check

[Fleur de Lis]

I was impressed that Miss Illinois stood up for herself in the last episode. That took some courage not to go along with 51 other girls!

If you find out which sorority Miss TN is in, we can add her to the list as well (got all the others)!

I can't discover Grace Gore's sorority for love or money - maybe someone from Ole Miss can clue us in? Could it be - she isn't in one???

I agree, and I think the judges were happy that she still listened to the make-up tips and styled her hair differently.

I love this show! Total guilty pleasure

I dig this show. It's a way to make the pageant more interesting. And I actually want to see who wins for the first time in AGES!!

I was thinking the same thing. Normally I just think it's nice if my state makes it in, but now the show has me rooting for other states. I know the whole premise of the show was to make them seem "normal" and make people get invested...I admit, it worked on me.

According to this, she attended the College of Charleston in South Carolina for two years before transferring to Ole Miss and graduating.

Maybe she isn't in a sorority. I'm thinking if she were, it'd be plastered all over the internet by now.

I just realized that this year's Miss America telecast is going to be on TLC.

TLC. First CMT, now TLC. How sad.

I'm glad it's on TLC this year. I think they have the best shot at keeping it in future years. They also tried something new with the reality show, so I'm looking forward to seeing if the pageant is also a little different.

I'm having a Miss America party to watch the pageant on Saturday, and I'm giving out prizes to people who know facts about the contestants. Most of my info is from Reality Check. Anyone have a fun suggestion for the name of the drink I'm making - margarita mix, cranberry juice, fresca, and malibu. Yuummmm!

Ditto! I actually plan to watch this year and I haven't done that in a long time.

Can I come? That sounds like fun! I used to do this in high school and my friends and I would make crowns out of Tostitos bags.

Name of the drink--how about the Boardwalk Bomb, in honor of the home of the Miss America Pageant for so many years, or the Crown Cranberry Fizz?

I think you've got your information incorrect. According to her profile on the Miss America Web site, she goes/went to Penn.
