So the 2013 Miss America will only be from January to September? That makes no sense to the 2013 winner. If I were the woman who won in January I'm be really pissed that I'm abdicating my throne prior to my year.

Hm, that's weird, the pageant always used to be in September when I was competing, maybe 8-10 years ago. I am certain, because the year I aged out, I just barely missed it.

I saw some pageant discussion posts recently saying how lucky Mallory is for having the short reign, that most Miss Americas start getting really tired of the schedule and lifestyle about 2/3 of the way through the year. Deidre Downs was Miss America 2005 during the transition to Vegas, and everyone seems to feel bad for her for having the extra four months.

The Pageant is probably making every effort to send Mallory on as many jobs/trips as logically possible. She will still receive her entire scholarship and all her prizes. And she will forever be able to say "I AM a Miss America!".

There is no 1950 Miss America, as 1949 winner crowned September 1949 and then 1951 winner crowned September 1950. Change was effected to reflect actual dates/months of service (September 1950 thru September 1951).
