Miss America - Lose the Title... yes or no ? - Page 2

Excellent points V!!!!!

Our kids think we are mean. No pageants are watched in this house. Our daughter ran for princess in our local fall festival, but she sold raffle tickets to win. The kid who sold the most tickets won. It wasn't a beauty pageant or anything like that. But we also told her only that one time we would let her and that was the end of that!

she should loose it, she cant be the model of the world for little girls to look at even if she did do that or not, it just sounds bad

IF she can do drugs then Vanessa needs her title back - I always thought she was awesome - looks and a voice that knocks your socks off - I'm really glad she came out on top because she was treated very unfairly. All her indescretions too place BEFORE she won - and really - posing for pictures ??? (which were not that bad even) should never have caused her to lose her title.

So I get it now - do drugs - say sorry and all is forgiven

no wonder girls are freaking WILD now - there's no consequences anymore for anything - same with Sports - Guys test positive for illegal substances and can't play a few games

the average american tests positive - they go to JAIL

V.. I totally agree... There is no consequences to be paid today so these girls do as they dam well please. I think Vanessa got a bum deal back in the day. They should do away with these paganets, I feel these girls are just exploited, my daughter was selected to be in one in NJ , I didnt encourage it, and she didn't care.

I also voted she should lose the crown. As many of you have already pointed out, if what she had done had occurred prior to her entering the pagent to begin with, then I'm all for the second chance. But she was bar hopping and so forth AFTER she was crowned. Many, many young girls watch the televised pagents and many more are taken to local pagents to watch. These young girls are very impressionable and dream of being Miss America or Miss USA themselves one day - at the very least, representing their respective states. If they see someone they look up to doing things that we as parents try to teach them as being wrong, they don't understand why SHE can do it and they can't - I mean, if Miss America or Miss USA can do it at her age, then I can certainly do the same thing - WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

I personally have nothing against the pagent industry. For some young ladies, it is the only way to potentially earn scholarship money. I know the Miss America pagent awards scholarships but don't think Miss USA does (could be wrong!). Like Rebecca, I too competed in a couple of beauty pagents in my younger days. And to the best of my knowledge, I am still the reigning Little Miss Walthall County - 1970!!!! It was the first year they ever held the pagent for the younger girls (I was not quite 7 years old) and it was the last. Now, I'm not sure if they didn't have it anymore because they knew they could not do any better than me or if by my winning I somehow ruined it for the other younger girls to compete the next year

She's not someone I'd want held up as an example to ANYONE, regardless of whether "The Donald" gets a boner looking at her.

LOL meeeeeeeeeeee too !!!

and that girl is plain ANNOYING - she is now saying she'll be the BEST MISS A we've ever seen - Pluuuuuuuueze ~!!! She should be in rehab still and give the next runner up a chance - Trump made a BAD CALL. Less than 30 days in rehab for drugs when people are rotting in prison for less ?
