For those of you who got my text messaged about the Miss Teen USA Pageant last week, you may or may not know that Raevan (Miss Texas Teen) didn't make the first cut at top 15. All I can say is this was plain bullshit. The girl had a flawless body in swimsuit, her evening gown was gorgeous, she worked the stage like she owned it and she spoke intelligently during her interview. I'm not saying this because I'm biased, but top 15, come on. Some of the girls who made the top 15 couldn't even talk, were emaciated or had no neck. I'm not going to mention states by name, but Raevan should have been in top 15.
See the problem is that the prelim judges pick their top 15 and then Miss Universe Organization has the power to take out 5 girls and replace them with whoever. So, basically, girls like Tennessee, Texas and New York, who probably did win over the prelim judges were left out of the top 15 by MUO because they didn't match the look that MUO was going for (blonde hair, blue eyed, girl next door type).
On the same subject, a lot of people have been asking me what the difference is between the Miss USA and the Miss America organizations. Magen Ellis, Miss Texas USA 2007, said it best:
"Miss America is the girl next door. Miss USA is the girl whom you wish lived next door. And Miss Universe is the girl who will never live next door."
End of rant.
