    I was really rooting for Miss Kansas, Theresa Vail, so a bit disappointed, but always glad to see people achieve their goals.

    I think she's beautiful.
    Sickened at all of the backlash it has caused though.

    I think it's great for two reasons.

    1. She's a beautiful woman.

    2. It's also setting the racists' pants on fire. Showing that even though the US is a diverse country, the ignorant get to flap their jaws and the rest of us can't harm them, because that would be wrong. >_<

    She is beautiful on the outside- but from what has been reported she isn't beautiful on the inside. Calling other contestants fat..etc. Not impressed.

    I think she is beautiful and intelligent (she's a University of Michigan grad, so of course lol). I thought her talent performance was the best of those who were left in the competition at that point. She dodged her question a bit, but so did 3 of the other 4, and at least what she said was interesting.

    Do you really expect anything different from Miss America?

    I mean, other than maps, and the iraq.

    I don't like pageants, I think they're really stupid. even if it was a MR America pageant I would still find it boring and pointless. that being said, good for her, she's pretty and I'm sure she is excellent at dancing and giving vague, PC answers to mildly controversial questions.

    Wait I'm confused. Is this like a season of The Bachelor all in one night?

    There were lots of Twitter comments about her ethnicity, etc. Lots seemed to link her Indian heritage to 9/11 for some reason.
