Miss USA controversy...

Practically nobody watch last night's Miss USA pageant (it averaged about 5 million viewers...the smallest audience ever)...but thanks to youtube, Miss California has not avoided controversy.  Blogger, Perez Hilton asked her a question regarding gay rights and Miss California stated her beliefs against gay marriage.  Needless to say...she didn't win the crown.  Does anybody even care what she thinks...or do the ratings speak for themselves?

The only pageant that I ever enjoyed watching was the one on Ms. Congeniality the movie. I think that most answers to those competition questions, along with all the other categories are b-o-r-i-n-g....look at at the diffent shows and movies that mock them. They should try to vamp it up with a more modern look.

They try to vamp it up with a TLC show that made over the Miss America contestants. I think she was brave to answer the question with her own opinion, she didn't say it in a mean way. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, that is why we live here. Unless it is hurting someone, you have a right to believe in anything you want to.

I agree with having the right to your own opinion...but Miss America represents something that little girls look up to. Whenever you are a role model you have to be careful how to be OPEN about your answers. I thought she was brave to answer it truthfully but it sends the wrong message to those who pay attention to what you have to say. Also, I was watching the view and they were saying that Perez Hilton gave her a zero for her answer and it cost her the crown. And that you cannot be judged on your answer. But I tottally disagree. A judge is judging every part of the pageant. So if the Miss America people brought Perez Hilton as a judge...he has a right to give her any number he sees fit.
