Miss America 2009

Does anyone else besides me have an obsession with watching Miss America/Miss USA/well, really any pageants?? I just love watching them, whether on TV or in person. I remember watching them with my mom since I was little. We would NEVER miss them! I even jumped at the opportunity to write about pageants on college assignments! I remember when I had Mass Media Studies my sophomore year, we had to blog about something popular in the media at the time, and I was assigned to blog about the month of January. This was the first year that the Miss America pageant was not shown on either NBC, ABC, CBS, etc., and was shown on CMT, and that's what I blogged about. In speech class, my freshman year, for my informative speech, I did the history of Miss America! LoL..I know I sound crazy! Tonight is the Miss America 2009 pageant on TLC at 8:00 P.M., and I can't wait to watch it! I have been keeping up with Miss America: Countdown to the Crown reality series that has been on TLC for a few weeks. Last night, the show gave America the opportunity to vote for four girls out of 15 selected from the show (they had to compete in different challenges to make it into the 15). Sadly, Miss Tennessee did not make it into the 15, but she still has a great chance (in my opinion) in the actual pageant. Anyways, the polls opened after the show last night, and after I finished watching, I went here to vote for my top four! I voted for Miss Georgia, Miss Alabama, & Miss Indiana (twice! she is definitely my favorite, besides Miss Tennessee, of course). I felt like the show only featured a handful of girls (I never saw an interview with Miss Tennessee), so it should be interesting to see all of them tonight! I just went here, and saw where Miss Indiana & Miss Georgia have already won preliminary competitions held in the past couple of nights!!
