Yano What I Mean?: Miss USA

Miss USA

I know I'm no beauty queen so I really shouldn't criticize, but is it just me or are the contestants for the Miss USA pageant not that pretty? The pickings were really slim for the top 16. Some looked too old, some looked like they had too much makeup on. Maybe I have fond memories of gorgeous women from my youth, or maybe the US is getting uglier. Last years winner, Chelsea Cooley, is gorgeous and obviously a natural beauty. It's hard for me to tell if any of the top 10 are that pretty naturally.

I feel a little bad for Drew Lachey, because all the women are taller than him. I can't get Fatima's voice out of my head - "He looks like a teletubby!"

We're at the top ten right now...I'll come back when they narrow them down a bit more.

Oh, and am I the only one watching this?

----------------------

Miss Georgia totally has fake boobs. I thought they didn't allow that at these pageants?

Anyway, I'm happy that Miss Kentucky won....she was definitely the prettiest of them all!

So at Top 5... As far as their "craziest experiences" i believe they're either lying or aren't allowed to tell the truth. Drew needs to stand on a milk crate and gay commentator guy is making this unbearable to watch. Ohio had a good answer to a question. Georgia & Florida look good as long as they don't talk.

Weird, the 1st time I saw Miss Kentucky, I had a feeling she was going to win...I was getting bored of the show so I turned the TV off, turns out I was right!

Nino - I totally thought there might be some lesbian action when the contestants were down to Kentucky and California. If it was a porn then they'd start making out and the bow-chicky-bow bow music would start.

But really, outside of the weirdness, it was a nice gesture for both of them to make...

I'm very bummed I missed the pageant.

Miss America doesn't allow cosmetic plastic surgery.

Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, and Miss Universe are all owned by Trump and he has no rule against it. However, there are weight restrictions for the crown holders.

I remember one year for the Miss Universe pageant, the reigning Miss Uni had gained about 20 pounds and he made her go on this really strict diet and exercise program to lose the weight about 3 weeks before the broadcast.

That year, the final question for all the contestants was "If you could do anything you wanted for 24 hours with no repercussions, what would it be and why?" Miss USA (who was Hawaiian, I believe) said "I would eat everything I could, twice!" Everybody in the audience pretty much gave her a standing O for that answer. And she ended up winning.
