Was Camille Schrier (former Miss Virginia; the new Miss America) in one of those new-fangled type of fast-speaking debate clubs in H.S./college? She spoke
mega fast all night. Whatever scientific facts she may have mentioned during her talent competition went straight out of my head, un-understood.
During her reign, if Camille truly wants to BE understood and HAVE youth delight in the wonders of science she needs to SLOW DOWN her delivery.
As to NBCs programming last night, IMO the judges should not be allowed to vocalize biased opinions of any of the candidates during the televised competition.
The Miss America Program isn't
The Voice, but it sure devolved into it at one point with all the judges contestant critiques.
In addition, show co-hostess Kit Hoover
should NOT be whooping-it-up after she reads every finalists name. The live studio audience does a creditable job in showing any necessary and proper contestant appreciation.
That said, did anyone else notice the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG pause between the moment Lauren Ash said "...the new Miss America is..." and the actual naming of the winner? Were there accountants in a back room re-checking the winning tally? Did the judge who had to announce the winner not even believe the name she had to read? Because everyone at my house thought Miss Georgia walked away with the crown and were stunned when she did not.
