Since when did people start thinking the only part of a beauty pageant where a contestant is judged is the questions?
I think it's great that finally, FINALLY, people are paying attention to what these contestants are saying. It's great that it's not ALL about how someone looks.
But, I have to wonder: Are we going to have to deal with a sore loser controversy everytime someone comes in runner up in a beauty pageant?
I didn't see Carrie Prejean live, but after seeing the headlines all over the news, I finally Googled and YouTubed the controversy. From my opinion, she didn't actually answer the question she was asked.
I did see the Miss USA question and answer portion of the show, and while at first I didn't think Miss Oklahoma fully answered the question, the more I watched it last night on TV, the more I realize she actually did. However, the woman who won Miss USA, answered her question very well, too.
Now, the news headlines are saying Miss Oklahoma is saying her answer lost her the crown. Guess what? Since you are being judged on it, then it is quite possible it cost you the crown, but there are other things you are being judged on in this competition. You can always provide a very neutral, peace-keeping answer if you are so afraid of it costing you a win, or you can say what you believe, and be proud of yourself for doing so.
I say what I believe all the time. And sometimes, someone has jumped down my throat for it. But, I know I am a nice, tender-hearted person and I know that I am not going to hurt anyone with my beliefs.
If you want to make a judgment for yourselves, YouTube it.
