holder shirts number 10
Mark Cuban licks his lips miss Arkansas
savvy shoes
whoo Noah Miss America pageant could
yield such creepy results during the
Miss America 2017 swimsuit competition
the camera cut to Judge Mark Cuban at an
inopportune time and he was briefly seen
licking his lips while watching the
bikini clad women strut the stage in all
fairness it was likely an innocent
action but one that inevitably spawned a
ton of creepy memes all the same in the
aftermath Cuban reportedly even took to
Twitter to respond to the jokes being
made at his expense declaring quote it’s
a lot harder than it looks
whatever that means actually we don’t
want to know you just know the director
was like okay no more shots of Mark
watching the ladies no repeat no more
shots number nine Illinois is the HQ of
John Deere the Miss America show us your
shoes parade is an event in which the
contestants travel down the Atlantic
City Boardwalk and show off something
unique about their state through their
outfit it’s can be something obvious and
playful or something that contestants
want to share with the world like a
lesser-known piece of trivia that others
may find interesting miss Illinois Jaron
Franklin took this opportunity to
highlight the fact that her home state
brought us John Deere tractors that has
to be one of the weirdest claims to fame
ever but hey those tractor shoes are
kind of cute
number eight copying pitch perfect and
the next one to perform is Miss New York
the Miss America stage is a place where
you can show off your unique talents to
the world the operative word here being
unique
clearly having missed that memo however
miss New York presented a blatant ripoff
of the red cup scene from pitch perfect
and unfortunately her interpretation
wasn’t a particularly good one not only
does her singing leaves something to be
desired
she also took the cup beats straight
from the movie rather than creating her
own which paired with Pharrell Williams
happy and the whole thing was often
offbeat
[Music]
it was a bit of a mess but hey it made
for entertaining television just not in
the way she intended then again she did
win the crown at the end of the day
number 7 Ellen DeGeneres on the new $10
bill she is a widely loved accomplished
and inspiring woman but the face of a
$10 bill come on now during the Miss
America 2016 question and answer period
kevin O’Leary asked Miss Colorado which
woman the treasury should put on their
new $10 bill Colorado closed her eyes
for a second before answering Ellen
DeGeneres explaining the cheese caring
tolerant and funny not only is her
entire platform speaking tolerance and
equality for all in kindness but she’s
able to be funny without insulting
someone and I think that is an
incredible feat all this caused smiles
and cheers from the crowd others were
not so kind as they believed there were
far more deserving women than a
talk-show host well that and the fact
that one of the requirements to be on
the bill is that the woman is no longer
alive number 6 Miss Tennessee’s favorite
celebrity is Pinterest I would love to
dress like every celebrity it’s not
gonna happen on a college budget
but I think Pinterest is my celebrity
boy who’s gonna sit her down and explain
what the word celebrity means during the
Miss America 2015 pageant viewers we’re
looking at some extravagant sparkly
gowns and dresses and while bombarding
the viewer with stimuli they were airing
little factoids about the contestants so
that we could get to know them a little
better
while others discuss their love and
loyalty to charities miss Tennessee took
the opportunity to tell us that she
thought quote Pinterest is my celebrity
I can find deals that fit within my
budget but also can reflect on the look
interest we assumed she meant that
Pinterest is her favorite celebrity but
even then we have so many more questions
number five Victory Tour cut short for
being Jewish as of 2017 there has only
been one Jewish Miss America winner
since the pageants beginning in 1921 a
woman by the name of Bess Myerson she
encountered anti-semitism even before
winning the competition as she was told
to use a pseudonym in order to sound
quote less Jewish and went over the
crowd after ignoring their requests she
won the 1945 competition but her
problems didn’t end there three of five
sponsors pulled out because they didn’t
want to be associated with a Jewish
woman and she was forced to cut her
victory tour short after being denied
entry from various hotels number four
Vanessa Williams is forced to resign
just as best Meyerson was treated
unfairly so was the first
african-american winner Vanessa Williams
was crowned the first african-american
Miss America in 1983 but during her
reign news broke that penthouse had
access to nude photographs and were
going to publish them without her
permission rather than backing their
Miss America the organization all but
forced her to resign which she did on
July 23rd 1984 meanwhile the public
relentlessly humiliated her her parents
were harassed and penthouse enjoyed its
most successful publication ever when
Williams returned to serve as head judge
in 2015 she finally got the long overdue
apology she deserved I want to apologize
that made you feel any worse for Miss
America you are number three
african-americans as slaves oh you
thought we were done with the horrifying
background of Miss America think again
it was in 1923 that the first African
Americans appeared on the Miss America
stage too bad it wasn’t as contestants
but under these conditions instead black
men and women were masqueraded as slaves
and proudly displayed as such on stage
during a musical number yep believe it
or not less than 100 years ago
black people were still being portrayed
as inferior and s property but hey there
you have it
number two euthanasia is a vaccine when
all she had good intentions during a
preliminary pre pageant question period
which unfortunately was filmed and
featured on the TV special pageant
confidential
Miss California Leah Cecil was asked
about her views on the legalization of
euthanasia so I need to look up on on
exactly what that means but I do know
it’s a vaccine correct
Cecil at first took the Honorable
approach by admitting that she didn’t
understand the subject and that she
needed to do further research in order
to gain a better understanding however
before her questioner could move on she
then said quote that’s a vaccine right
Leah if you had just left it at your
original answer ou would have been fine
that’s one of those things I don’t want
to happen in my interview they can ask
you about anything out there how do you
prepare for that number one a contestant
is asked to solve Isis in 20 seconds
okay seriously what is with these Miss
America questions some contestants are
thrown goofy queries about Tom Brady
deflating footballs like in the 2016
edition I’m not sure I think I have to
be there to see the ball and feel and
make sure it was to play there
to plate it while others are asked to
solve major world conflicts as in the
previous year in what is perhaps one of
the most baffling questions ever
presented at the pageant one of the
judges asked what the country’s response
should be towards the ISIS threat the
contestant only had 20 seconds to answer
this incredibly complex question I
really think it’s important for the
world for the UN to come together and
decide what’s the best thing united that
we can do to really come together as a
bigger and more impactful source
honestly she does damn well with her
answer but seriously what kind of
question is that
this is a subject for government
officials not 21 year old Miss America
contestants a second fact better stick
to the football stuff better answer than
the president do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
