    Why .... Ohh why

    They might as well scrap the whole thing ... I mean I haven't seen anyone win because of their Intellect

    "We will no longer judge our candidates on their outward physical appearance. That's huge," she said.

    Then what is the purpose of this competition ... ? Can we send over Susan Boyle now because she can sing ?

    They should scrap beauty contests per se. They're totally outdated and just a relic of the seventies by now.

    What about women who want to enter them and enjoy the competition.

    Afford choice to people.

    So will they be completely nude instead?:D


    Wish there was a Mr America - full of toned, handsome hot hunks with model good looks, preferably a bit of stubble and body hair aged 25 to 40.:pac:

    You're quoting a contestant from the Miss Teen USA pageant, which is part of the Miss USA pageant circuit, which is a separate competition from Miss America.
    Miss USA has shown no inclination to drop the beauty part of their pageant, so no worries there.
