Miss America: Realty Check

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!!!
