Meh, I can do without the whole pageant altogether.

It's a good move in the right direction. They are finally making a competition not a pageant. One is about a person's inner beauties vrs the outer. I like looking at some good eye candy too but this should be more about what the person not the person's body.

Why?? IMHO, the swimsuit part was the only good part of the whole pageant!!

Exactly!!..........The overwhelming majority of viewership is male.

And lets face it. We could give a flying fidoo about character or intelligence in these shows,lol.

Thus is why bikini and figure shows are so popular these days.

The pageant will die a quick, yet painful death given there is little entertainment value to be had for viewers, nor advertising revenue to be generated from watching a bunch of amorphous, bookish, horse-faced women showing off their 'special talents' and espousing their feminine opinions on social issues, finance, religion and political affairs.

What's the point of judging beautiful women if we can't see them half naked?....and no I'm not being facetious.

Let's face it...these girls aren't there because they're going to cure cancer. There are girls who work on curing cancer and there are girls we judge for being hotter than other girls. It's ok to accept that.

funny you say that, bc i was in pageantry and doing medical research at the same time. not oncology, did a little stint there and decided it was too saddening for me. also could only compete in the “petite” categories bc of my height lol but it’s damn possible

most of you are thinking with your little head.... but i do admit, i miss being around half naked hot girls :biggrin2:

First the Feminist put the GRID GIRLS of F1 out of work!! now Miss America!!, This sounds like feminist HATE beautiful women



"hatred against the beauty of women...That’s what feminism is”

- Sara Fernanda Giromin






Feminism exists as a defender of the selfish sexual and reproductive interests of aging and/or unattractive women. This is its entire raison d’etre, the reason it first came into existence with the social purity movement reformers of the 19th century, led by their harridan battle cry – ‘armed with the ballot the mothers of America will legislate morality’.

The history of feminism is the history of a female sexual trade union, growing in political power in exact correspondence with the steady loss of female sexual power caused by the continual widening of the sexual market.

I thought they were called "beauty pageants", or is that not PC now, even though that's what they really are.

Miss America ratings fall after ceremony drops swimsuit competition

Miss America ratings fall after ceremony drops swimsuit competition

NEW YORK (AP) — The Miss America ceremony subtracted the swimsuit competition for the first time in its 98-year history, and subtracted one million television viewers, too.

The Nielsen company said 4.34 million people watched the annual ceremony on ABC Sunday, down 19 percent from the 5.35 million viewers last year. Declining viewership has been a consistent trend for the pageant over the past few years.

With Miss America now under the leadership of former Fox News personality Gretchen Carlson, the swimsuits were left behind. Instead, they were replaced by onstage interviews where contestants talked about President Trump, the NFL player protests and other topics.

Yet the decision has been the subject of criticism. Minutes before the nationally televised broadcast began, a comedian warming up the crowd mentioned there would be no swimsuit competition, drawing loud boos from the audience.


It was the pageant's lowest viewership since 2009, when it was shown on cable's TLC channel and reached only 3.54 million people. It returned to broadcast TV on ABC in 2011, and its audience has gotten as high as 8.6 million in 2013.
