I didn't watch the pageant but I found a thread (entertainment forum) with a link to her Q&A on youtube. I was shocked. I literally was thinking "how stupid is this girl". I mean I get that the girls are nervous and stuff but from what I know about pageant these girls also TRAIN and to get to Miss Teen USA most have spent years doing local pageants. Her answer was just beyond stupid. EXiADPi said that it looked like Mario Lopez was trying not to laugh at her answer.

I can totally see anti-pageant folks use her answer as an example of that "girls should be focused on thier studies and not pageants".

It reminded me of watching Miss Universe. Watching that pageant, during the Q&A is just a train wreck waiting to happen. The only ones who usually "understand" the questions are the contestants who speak fluent English. I don't know what happens mid-translation but I just love how the contestants give an answer that has absolutely nothing to do with the question (hence Lauren).

But hey if she ever makes it to Miss Universe (as Miss USA), she should remember to just give a stupid answer that has nothing to do with the question and she'll win (since the last couple of Miss Universes haven't answered their questions "correctly" and end up winning).
