Seconding Amber1960. I stopped watching the Miss America pageant way back because generally the judges go for a certain 'look' and it seems like they don't consider anything outside their standards.
And I swear I stopped watching sometime back before Vanessa Williams.
Now I have to go watch it. It's great to see that standards have finally changed.
Holy shit, I didn't even realize this happened. I haven't watched the pageant since Vanessa Williams had her crown taken away. I didn't stop watching in protest or anything, but what happened to her just killed my interest. I'd heard they've had some interesting wins over the years, like the one Miss America who was hearing impaired, but it still wasn't enough to re-spark my interest.
