"… asking contestants to wear attire that makes them feel confident, expresses their personal style" Devolving into lesbians in pantsuits.

Great - now they’ll have a bunch of fat slobs ‘competing’ and they’ll be wondering why their ratings are taking such a dive.
I have to put this move right up there with the fellows at Yeti...among the DUMBEST things that I’ve seen in my lifetime.

It already died when then dumped Bert Parks in 1979. The way they treated him was disgraceful, and the "scholarship program" has been dead to me ever since. That was the beginning of the end; that was when all the trendy, PC stuff started to take root.

I personally believe
that
U.S. Americans are unable to do so
because,
uhmmm,
some
people out there in our nation dont have maps and uh,
I believe that our,
I,
education like such as
uh,
South Africa,
and uh,
the Iraq,
everywhere
like
such as,
and
I believe that they should,
uhhh,
our education over here in the US should help the US,
uh,
should help South Africa,
it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.
Yep. Who wants to look at their figures when we can listen to these women?

demonstrate their passion, intelligence and overall understanding of the job of Miss America Hmmm ... and what exactly is the job of Miss America? I thought it involved looking good and flashing a million dollar smile.

The reason the MAP had viewers was NOT to hear their boring life stories, see their amateurish “talents” or hear their politically correct answers to meaningless questions. People watched to see attractive women in swimsuits and heels. With the internet and the loosening of TV standards, that became unnecessary decades ago. Without the swimsuit competition they might as well just broadcast it on the radio.

Thank you for NOT calling HIM Caitlin.
I guess it’s time for Michelle Obama to enter the contest. She can be Miss America, married to a nobel prize recipient.

That one is painful to watch but in her defense, I think it was a teenager pageant, not Miss America.

The contestants from all 50 states and the District of Columbia will be asked to demonstrate their passion, intelligence and overall understanding of the job of Miss America.Stepping up the game...leaving Lena Dunham to complain.

I wonder why nobody has taken their place with an updated beauty pageant? That is, women displaying what they think men would like in a potential wife. Elements of Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?, The Dating Game, and interviews with contestant about what they look for in men and what they think men look for in women.
Each then model in four different outfits: formal dress, swimsuit, business casual, and fantasy (cosplay).

The only time we’ve watched a beauty contest was Bullock’s Miss Congeniality movie.

Meh. It’s a relic from another world, another time.
It always seemed silly and frivolous. Now it just seems ridiculous.

Some of these women were really talented. They could do things I did not think were possible.
