Testimonials

Is anyone else uncomfortable watching this? I mean I know that these are important topics, but this is a REALITY show. If this were on MTV, the girls would be pole dancing by now and at least seven of them would have flashed the camera.

Next up is the topic of gay marriage. Aww geez. Here we go. Miss Vermont is all over this issue - in support of it. I notice here that it doesn't even look like Vermont tried to get ready and look nice. Not that I'm all about the pageant look but this girl needs a little more effort in my non-expert opinion.

Maybe she's born with it...maybe she's not.

Miss PA's table is discussing sex before marriage. Other girls chime in that they believe sex should be saved for your spouse and don't believe in it. Jeannie, the judge, is listening intently and totally LOVES the gossip. She then says that if they are true to what they are preaching then we would have a table full of virgins. She looks directly as Miss Alaska and asks her on national television what her status is. It's like Probst all over again trying to out the V-card status of hottie Eric on the live reunion show!

Miss Alaska looks p-i-s-s-e-d. She is clenching her teeth and speaking with a firm voice. She seems like an angry queen. It must be the lack of sunlight in Alaska and her pale skin that is attributing to her rage. And in case you were wondering, because I know you all are, she never answered the question. Classic pageant girl.

Following the dinner the judges are left to go off and discuss the girls behind their backs. Very pageanty. We hear some pros and cons of a few of the girls which I'm sure will be told to us later as well. Maybe this show really doesn't need to be an hour.

It is here that I observed Jeannie's articulate speaking abilities when she shouts out "DUDE, Oklahoma did not dress to impress" and said "Utah impressed me MAN". You are around pageant girls. You must talk with the utmost respect! In all fairness, Jeannie is probably used to working around the likes of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan and has to dumb herself down.

The girls then march through some random field of luminaries to hear what the judges have to say. Six girls are called down to the front, South Carolina, Idaho, Vermont, PA, Oklahoma and Utah. DUN, DUN, DUN.

The good, the bad, and the ugg.

They are impressed with South Carolina, but say she is wearing too much make up. Regardless she's in the top three. Idaho, a.k.a Miss Poof, has a great personality but is just too much with the hair and makeup and is the bottom three. She still has her poof pride though because in the confessional she tells us that without the poof she wouldn't have been noticed. I'm not sure that's what you want to be noticed for chica. I'm just saying.

Dear Tabloid Magazine God, Please let the winner be an absolute crazy mess so I can feature her in US Weekly and make millions. Love, Dina Sansing

They are intrigued by Vermont but want her to try harder and stick her in the bottom. PA forgot her flag earlier and they were disappointed but she proved herself at the dinner (I'm not exactly sure when...) and she makes it to the top. GO PA! Oklahoma needs to change her ways because they feel she is too set with the old pageant world. Utah needs help with fashion and beauty. They don't teach enough of that in the Military I guess. Utah is in the top, Oklahoma is in the bottom.

On the previews for the next few weeks we see a montage of bikinis, screaming, walking, crying, screaming, high-fiving etc. Did I mention screaming? Looks exciting!
