Yah, the "Let's do talent" episode where they all ended up singing the national anthem was a little useless.

As long as we get a Talent episode...

8 might be slightly overdoing it indeed. We'll see!

Seriously? I think that 4 was just enough. 6 would have been ok, but I think 8 is way too many. Thanks for the info!

Ratings success= yes. Mao announce that they will have eight episodes next year instead of four.

Ok, so I'm a few weeks late about it, but I just finally finished watching the reality check series. It was interesting watching it after the pageant to see how MI was totally not even a blip on the radar, and to see that many girls DID change and try to have a new "look" and "attitude" when it came to the pageant. Well, not Miss Michigan anyway. And she had bad skin.

After watching the series, I'm still in the camp that thinks Indiana or WA should have...

Even though they are trying to update the pageant I gotta wonder if it's not too late since it was on The Learning Channel.
Nobody even knew it was on. And the show looked like some tacky reality game show.
Funniest part was the "tens of thousands" who voted Miss Utah in.

I was really rooting for Florida. Utah would have been cool, as would Washington (who is Japanese, German, Latina and Native American and would have put a really modern face on the Miss America organization). Utah is a vet of the war in Afghanistan for crying out loud. How's that for an "it" girl?

I was hardly displeased with the switch from the show to the pageant. I would've been really happy with a Washington or Indiana win, but instead we get Michigan...WHAT?. Most of the cuts starting with the swimsuit competition made no sense to me...I was looking forward to some baton twirling dammit!

What was the point of the show, really. The ones who got all the attention, such as Alaska and Rhode Island didn't even make the semi-finals. I hardly noticed Michigan at all during the show.

Oh, I thought they used the same judges all week.

Re: Miss America-Reality Check

feeds@yuku.com (Lovejonze) — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 15:43:26 GMT

I think it's always been done that way...the prelim judges are not the same ones that judge on the actual night of the pageant. The preliminary scores determine who the top 15 are, but then the judging all starts over again at that point.

Yeah. When I was a kid I always thought the celebrity judges were there all week watching each talent, seeing every girl in a bathing suit. I thought they were really committed to the whole thing....

Announcing the eliminated ones was a big improvement. When they just announce the winners, I forget who was eliminated.

My fave: Miss Wisconsin - HAWT!

Also - let the judges know that you're trying to update the image.

ITA. I hated having them announced who was being booted. What a way to put the emphasis on the negative instead of the positive. It insured 5 awkward moments every time they did it. The only saving grace was Miss Utah dropping to the floor and doing push ups. Stupid, but at least it broke up the awkwardness. PLEASE change this next year.

I didn't like them announcing who got eliminated instead of announcing who made it. It was very awkward. The audience didn't know when to clap. Do you clap because they announced one left? Do you clap because one stayed?

New reality show that will be airing on TLC in the month leading to the live pageant on January 26th. The show starts on Jan 4th 10/9c and will be following the ladies all living under one roof (from what I got from the preview). Sounds like a must watch!
