Miss America: Realty Check

Naturally the boy's ecstatic that Miss Michigan won.

I absolutely loved Miss Washington. If not the top spot, surely she should have done better than Miss Indiana. I didn't care too much for Miss Washington in Episode 1 of Reality Check, but she grew on me...and I really really wanted her to win. She did great, though. How you like them apples? LOL

I completely forgot to watch the pageant after avidly following "Reality Check." Thanks for all the updates on here a.e.B.O.T.!

I was never so glad to see a Miss Florida go! Not cute.

I would have bet money on Miss Wisconsin. I loved her so much and it's not her fault that the violin wasn't pitch perfect...remember that they did talent at random, which isn't right because people really do need time to keep their instruments (vocal, body, or actual) warmed up. Her dress was amazing and she just did it for me.

Am I the only person not happy that they were calling out girls who DIDN'T make it?! That's disrespectful in my opinion-like-"Hey! Look at this loser over here as she walks away trying not to cry! And now I'm going to hand her a doughnut and be like oh now you can let yourself go and force her to laugh while I rub salt in her wounds with inappropriate jokes!"

Michigan looks like she has really thin hair. Not a good look, plus it was another blonde...her version of "Over The Rainbow" aimed and missed the rainbow and landed on the ground. A lot of these "talents" seemed like they were put together just for the sake of a pageant.

ETA: the girl who did that whack jazz performance made me want to shoot myself. Smiling and kicking is not a talent, show your true abilities as a dancer and not just the cute bits you picked up in time for the competition. And the song didn't help.

I forgot to ask in my previous post...

What did you guys think of the telecast? I could have done without "Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino" 92308423478612 times, but the program as a whole drew my attention for the whole 2 hours.

I like that it's only 2 hours now. I know MA telecasts of years past dragged on to three, and that's just too much. The manner in which the contestants were eliminated were also pretty neat. I guess I'm kind of indifferent to the swimsuit phase. I know they were trying to stay away from the robotic swimsuit walk, but I suppose it wasn't that bad. Talent was my favorite. The girls didn't know which order they'll be performing and at the same time didn't know if they've been eliminated. I LOL-ed when Georgia was kicked off.

Before we knew it, the two hours was up and a new Miss America was crowned. I really do hope they keep this same format (Reality Check included) next year.

I agree. Held my interest the whole time and I really enjoyed learning more about some of the women during the Reality Check program (although I think they could have spread the love a little more...it seemed like once they picked their 10 or so ladies, those were the only ones we learned anything about).

All told, I hope it was successful for the pageant. Interestingly, CMT showed last year's pageant this morning....and now TLC is replaying last night's pageant again.

I think Miss America was nice and short, it was a good length, but it was all too rushed. Especially during the question section. It didn't give people enough time to perform and truly answer. I feel they should of cut some of the Clinton time to fix that, but whatever. I think Miss michigan won because of high marks on the swimsuit side. Then she sang first which gave her a boost in regards to, she didnt have to be the 10th person to sing in a row. I really wanted Miss Washington, and I thought that she would of really been this new change for them. I still love her opener, "how bout them apples." I wasn't the biggest fan of Miss Utah, because she made it all too much a joke. She didn't take it seriously. Now, other girls were funny and goofy, but they genuinely wanted to be there, or atleast made it seem that way. Miss Utah didn't. I still think Miss Virginia is like freaking HOT!!!
