sometimes beauty and brains are mutually
exclusive such as welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 American
beauty pageant fails I have to say the
biggest risk I’ve ever taken was when I
went to Canada number 10 the force is
not with her we’ve watched enough
pageants to know the talent portion is
tricky no matter how good you are tap
dancing and baton twirling is not him
never was this more obvious than at
1993’s miss Arizona competition when
Stacey hedger attempted to woo Star Wars
nerds with an off-key disco rendition of
the theme on trumpet with dancing
and she’s not the only one with a
bizarre Talent
number nine the united states of hawaii
things start off so well for miss Hawaii
Nadine tanaga
when she’s asked why she’s proud to be
an American I am especially proud to be
a first-generation American and a
resident of Hawaii our youngest state
but you can pinpoint the moment where
she falls off the rails and believe in
ourselves from the rocky shores of
Hawaii to the beautiful sandy beaches of
Hawaii America is our home when Alan
Thicke mocks you you know you’re in
trouble
it’s a wonderfully versatile state you
have there
she must be in that one-fifth of us
Americans that don’t have maps don’t
know what we’re talking about give it a
minute number eight prostitutes are the
paradigm of purity when Miss Ohio audrey
bolt was asked at the 2012 Miss USA
pageant about the portrayal of women in
the media she spit out the first thing
that came to mind and the beginning of
her answer is almost passable I think it
depends on the movie I think there are
some movies that depict women in a very
positive role and then some movies that
put them in a little bit more of a
negative role until such as movie pretty
woman we had a wonderful beautiful woman
julia roberts and she was having enough
time but you know what she came out on
top and she didn’t let anybody stay on
her path it’s pretty woman the most
bizarre film choice no but it’s up there
especially if you’re glossing over the
fact that Julia Roberts character is
well a hooker number seven the courage
of her convictions health care in the
United States is a contentious issue and
no one knows that better than Miss
Arizona
Alicia Monique Blanco at the 2009 Miss
USA pageant she was asked whether health
care should be a benefit of citizenship
to the country somehow Blanco turned it
into a matter of right or wrong and
avoided mentioning health care in any
way shape or form during her response
but such conviction is an issue of
integrity regardless of which
and of the political spectrum that I
stand on I’ve been raised in the family
to know right from wrong
and politics whether or not you fall in
the middle the left or the right it’s an
issue of integrity whatever your opinion
is and I say that with the utmost
conviction thank you very much number
six crackpots scientific theories no I
do not believe in evolution I do not
think it should be taught in schools and
was this question designed to trip up
contestants the 2011 Miss USA
competitors were asked a series of
pre-interview questions that ranged from
would you use an online dating site to
what’s your opinion on nude photo shoots
so the query about evolution being
taught in schools was out of left field
answers varied but far too many agreed
that schools shouldn’t teach so-called
theories so math so to them either way
somebody’s gonna be offended so I would
say guess but you know somebody’s mad
though number five Equal Opportunity
nonsense affirmative action is is
important in your career and I think
that they they work together as long as
there have been beauty contests there
have been beautiful girls miss speaking
their minds during 1995’s Miss USA
competition miss Minnesota Angelique de
maison was asked miss Minnesota do you
think that your career prospects would
be affected if affirmative action were
dismantled
long story short affirmative action has
to do with equal opportunity employment
but miss Minnesota clearly doesn’t know
that as evidenced by the wide eyes and
repeat requests
I’m sorry could you repeat the question
she soon regains her composure to give a
completely clumsy and inappropriate
response if you if you stand strong on
what you believe that you should you
should use that in all aspects of your
life including your career I know that I
do thank you
alright that’s miss Minnesota don’t go
number four an inoculation for idiocy
we’ll start this one by giving credit or
credit is due
more pageant contestants should admit
they don’t understand if that’s the case
fortunately from Miss California Lea
Cecil this interview took place before
the 2013 Miss America pageant
unfortunately cameras were rolling
anyway when she was asked about her
opinion on the legalization of
euthanasia you know that’s actually one
thing that I’m not very educated on so I
need to look up on on exactly what that
means okay but I do know it’s it’s a
vaccine correct
no euthanasia is assisted suicide we’re
guessing by now she’s an expert on the
subject
number three wage parity hilarity you’d
think by now these girls would focus
more on interview prep but alas a 2013
Miss USA pageant miss Utah Marissa pal
figuratively face-planted when asked why
women still earn less than men I think
we can relate this back to education
how we are after a gibberish Laden run
on Powell admits defeat and flashes the
I have no idea where I’m going with this
smile then it gets worse I think
especially the men are seen as the
leaders of this and so we need to try to
figure out how to create education
better so that we can solve this problem
thank you thank you Utah thank you
sweetheart
all’s well that ends well though she won
Miss Photogenic number two marriage
inequality controversy reigned at 2009’s
Miss USA pageant where the girls were
asked fairly politicized questions but
none got as much press as Miss
California Carrie Prejean when she was
probed by openly gay personality Perez
Hilton about same-sex marriage we live
in a land that you can choose same-sex
marriage or opposite marriage and you
know what in my country and in my family
I think that I believe that a marriage
should be between a man and a woman no
offense to anybody out there but that’s
how I was raised and that’s how I think
that it should be between a man and a
woman pre Shawn’s entitled to her
opinion but she bombed because she
didn’t sympathize with everyone she was
competing to represent and we didn’t
even mention opposite marriage were the
sixties I don’t think that needs to be
discussed right now number one truth
justice and the US American Way Miss
South Carolina Caitlyn Upton’s is the
face that launched a thousand means it’s
2007’s Miss Teen USA competition and
Upton’s asked why one fifth of Americans
can’t find the United States on a map
what follows is a string of buzz words
war garble and random references to
south africa and the iraq i believe that
our education like such as in South
Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such
as and by the way we’ve never found such
as on a map kudos to Mario Lopez for
keeping it together thank you very much
