Kay Lani - best Miss America ever - last night, well she is still the best Miss America ever, even if she looked her age!

miss america used to be a big deal to watch, in the days before cable. pageant took place in september, and with bert parks hosting, it was something too look forward to.
now, not soe much.

I don't know that any sort of a rehaul is going to help. The whole concept is dated. Miss America and pageants in general are just not modern. It's old school and deservedly so.

The DC slut basically flat out said she was in it for the money. She said with a $50,000 in scholarship money she would go from being severely in debt to not-so-much. I was surprised she kept advancing.

I watched the pageant LIVE for the first time ever last night. In fact, it was the first time that I saw a LIVE pageant on TV ever. By that, I mean live in my time zone (Pacific). The broadcast was supposed to air on TLC at 8pm, but mercifully, I have TLC HD, which takes the feed from the Central and Eastern time zones. So I was able to see the pageant at 5pm, as opposed to waiting until 8pm for the delayed telecast.

Some thoughts:

Mario Lopez sucks as a television...

In the rebroadcast they've replaced 4 Minutes from the intro dance sequence by some cheap instrumental imitation. I wonder if they only paid for the rights for the initial broadcast .

Kaye Lani Rae Rafko has always been one of my favorites. It was a bit jarring to see her last night looking like she does now, but everyone ages and that was over 20 years ago. She was awesome. Her reaction to winning still is one of the most genuine I've seen on a pageant.

I for one am sick of all the crappy talents on Miss America. Watching girls caterwaul Broadway tunes, dance en point, play piano pieces, and do tepid operatic exercises is not a demonstration of good talent. I'd love to see a more diverse array of talents, and real talents at that, on Countdown to the Crown and during the actual competition. Last year, Miss Iowa wanted to do fire baton-twirling, but she...

As a long time pageant watcher, I still think the top 5 is the way it should go. Then do the runner up stuff and leave the 2 hopefuls for the crown waiting for the announcement at the end. Indiana was very cute, and this was her first try at the state pageant, although she had been in other pageants, so sort of a novice, not a tried and true veteran Pageant Patty. Georgia was lovely, but I thought her photos on the site looked prettier (her gowns were beautiful). This was her fourth try at...

In the old days, they had the top 10 and would do 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st and then the winner out...

Yeah, it was really stupid. Actually every round was done that way and I thought it was humiliating for the girls that didn't advance.

But then again....they're pageant girls....isn't that humiliating enough?

HOW THE FUCK DID ARKANSAS NOT WIN? Not even make the top TEN?? Amazing. However, the next best one actually won. Hooray Miss Indiana!

They were, and they also both were picked by America to be in the top 15. I think they both really deserved it, they dominated the whole pre-show and they were both to dominate the pageant.

Lost interest in the pre-show, but wasn't Indiana first gold sash, then Georgia second gold sash winners? Interesting.

I'm happy that if Georgia didn't win, Indiana did, as she was my second pick.

President Obama is NOT pleased that Miss Georgia did not win.

Somebody's getting deported tonight.
