Miss America ditching the swimsuit competition

Miss America is dropping the swimsuit competition

Can’t wait to hear the hot takes on this one.

Now there will be a greater emphasis on what the contestants will do to ensure whirled peas.

Dropping the swimsuits? Bout time they went full birthday suits. Go naked or go home.

Well when you think about it....."Well, we're hiring someone for a year long gig, but we need to see how you look in a swimsuit first" is kind of not something you want to associate with your corporate brand in 2018.

Extra points for assertiveness, personality and compassion? Always wondered why Miss Congeniality (the person all the other contestants liked the most) was viewed as something like a consolation prize. The Masters Par-3 championship of pageants.

They still need to pick up all of these Goddamned batons.

I’ll believe this isn’t a pageant anymore when an incredibly smart and charming ugly person wins.

 

[Scout]

I think someone starting a "Woman of the Year" "pageant" where the winner might be a scientist or a humanitarian to counter Trump's show would be fun to watch the competition between the two.

I’m sure the next winner will be an overweight soccer mom with great ideas about reforming health care.

This is definitely not bull****.

Why would a smart person waste their time with such dreck?

Does Chelsea play soccer?

Does Chelsea play soccer?

Yes. But after a fifth place finish in the Premiership, they won't be in Champion's League next season. Europa League is a major disappointment for the club.

Do you think the lack of a swimsuit competition will hurt or help the club?

Do you think the lack of a swimsuit competition will hurt or help the club?

Should help. It's difficult to play high-level soccer when you're worried about your bits and pieces falling out of your suit.

They're going to cost the swimsuit models scholarships.

Girl I finished high school with finished top five in the Miss South Carolina pageant in the early 1980s. She's a Facebook friend and today posted pics of herself in the swimsuit portion of the competition. Ye gods, she was a beautiful young woman. ****ing nuts, but beautiful. She's still quite attractive ... and still quite ****ing nuts.

The NFL needs to follow (swim)suit and ban cheerleaders.

Really, it needs to.

I don't think I've seen that commercial since the days it showed in rotation.

I want to see Russia's version of a commercial stereotyping Americans.
