Miss South Carolina's Do-Over.

Sound is mangled, but it is good enough to hear an earlier, intentional question mangling.

That was a very well rehearsed re-answer. Did she have cue cards?

Sure ... but it doesn't make up for sheer stupidity.

Wow, the new BB looks good! And with discussability too!

That statistic is skewed bullshit anyway. The only way an American wouldn't be able to find America on a world map is if the map had no borders drawn on it, no words, and the person in question had never seen a world map before. I.E. the person in question is under 3.

Amazing how the talking heads on the Today Show treat her like a toddler, applauding her little speech like she just made in the potty for the first time. Ya ask me, at least she's a 17 year-old beauty contestant; she has an excuse. They're "journalists." How do they look themselves in the mirror after what they do day in day out? Oy!

After having over 72 hours to think about it, that's the best she can do? And you wonder how people mamnage to flunk take-home tests! Sheesh!

Man o Man. Its funny that we still produce and watch miss american contests. It seems so archiac. laughable almost. I guess its become the grandfather to all other talent, singing contest shows...just throw in some sex. and blamo!

Here ssshheee issss Miss Ammmmerrriccaaaa!!!

SHE DID IT! SHE TOTALLY REDEEMED HERSELF!

HOpefully in the future she will have access to the questions so she can formulate a coherent responce before she opens her mouth and her true stupidy falls out.

That's it. Crucify the 17-yr-old a little more, why don't you?

What a bitter, smug, and snobbish lot you are today.

I'm inclined to think that the only real way to answer that question correctly is to call Americans stupid.

@ omglaserpewpew

It would be more accurate to say that Southerners are stupid.

btw, love the handle!

Who cares what her answers were? All I noticed was her cute face. As long as she marries and reproduces with a really smart guy (i.e. a nerd) then all will be balanced out.

Lasse - No, one thing she (or her scriptwriter) did correctly was use the singular "is" with U.S. She was speaking of the collected entity of the *country* (singular), so "is" was correct. If she had said "I know where all fifty states is" ... well, that would have been wrong. U.S. in capital letters is a country and singular.

Yeah, I spotted that a while ago and knew there was going to be horrible mayhem when the 2 Laurens are confused. O the humanity! O the chaos!

Seriously, don't worry too much for your Lauren (the smart one) -- not too many people are even aware that there IS a teen version of Miss America! Americans typically are aware that:

1. There is a Miss America pageant (the original..."Here she comes", formerly Atlantic City, &c.). It's faded much from its former glory, but still has tradition.

2. There is a Miss USA pageant (owned by Donald Trump)

3. There is a Miss Universe pageant. Winner of #2 goes there and competes against like winners from other countries. All owned by Trump. Lessons learned? try not to hold this in countries that adhere to Sharia. It didn't work out so well last time.

4. There is a Miss Teen USA pageant (owned by Trump - a slightly younger version of #2).

People are at least vaguely aware of the above 4, because they are annually aired on U.S. television. But, Miss America Teen? Nobody outside of demented pageant geeks (chiefly middle aged mothers living vicariously through their vacuous daughters) have ever heard of it! Is it even aired on network TV? Your "Smart Lauren" should be thankful she gets some extra attention and gets to talk up her own crown and her ill-publicized pageant whilst explaining that she isn't "the stupid one".

The Miss America organization needs to get their act together, because Trump is eating them for lunch.
