Who is the alltime biggest Miss America loser?
This would be the girl who the majority of people were convinced was going to win that year but failed to or maybe even failed to place.
It's not even the "most hyped" girl (as we know personal favortism plays into that.
This would be the contestant that everyone assumed was going to win (whether they really wanted her to or not.)
For pageant oldtimers please also list contestants before the internet age.
My own personal choice that comes to mind is Shilah Phillips.
Even though I've never met her nor am I from TX I was convinced when I saw the video of TX that she was the next Miss America.
But anyway, you get the idea.
And please be nice and don't bash the winner that year.

- I remember thinking Ashley Hatfield, Miss IL, would win the year she competed, and she, unfortunately, did not place. (NT) -- No name, 14:30:44 11/20/09 Fri
- Marina Harrison Miss Maryland...by all accounts she should have won. I think Camille Lewis also should have won the year she competed..dispite the fact so many negative nancy"s said she did not have good speaking abilities which I found was no true...Wayne Brady screwed up part of the interview he did with her on the telecast., not Camile..she was much better than the 4th runner up position she was given. (NT) -- No name, 14:44:16 11/20/09 Fri
- Oh, I second that on Marina Harrison. I so thought the crown was hers. (NT) -- No name, 14:46:44 11/20/09 Fri
- I will never forget how loud the audience booed when she was named 3rd runner up...so notable even to the television audience. (NT) -- No name, 15:51:20 11/20/09 Fri
- I loved Camille and Marina too--both would have been great Miss Americas with that so-called "IT" factor. I also liked Miss Virginia the year Kim Aiken won--Nancy Glisson I believe her name is. I didn't see her beating Kim, who I thought was just heaven on earth that year, but she should have been placed higher than she was. There was a lot of booing from the audience when she was named 4th runner up as I recall. (NT) -- NCBoy, 17:27:20 11/20/09 Fri
- I never, ever, ever thought Marina Harrison would be Miss America and since reading the "woe are we" messages from her fans over the years, I am glad she didn;t make it. (NT) -- No name, 22:15:48 11/20/09 Fri
- Remember VA's Nacy Redd (sp?). I thought she was a top contender and I can't remember if she even made T10 (NT) -- No name, 15:15:58 11/20/09 Fri
- For me it's usually when a state like AL, TX and OK don't make top 10. Its almost a given (deserved or not). (NT) -- No name, 15:49:27 11/20/09 Fri
- Suzette Charles (NT) -- No name, 15:56:55 11/20/09 Fri
- Some of these were before your time, but the three that come to mind that I would call the biggest rip-offs, not the biggest losers, were: Janet Carr (Miss California in the mid 70s); Carrie Mitchell (Miss Colorado sometime in the late 80s/early 90s); and Sheri Ryman (Miss Texas back in the late 70s/early 80s). But I also agree with the votes for Marina Harrison, and also I hated it that Patricia Brant had to lose, but if she did, at least it was to a very deserving Kaye Lani. Then there was our Miss Virginia Julianne Smith, losing to that rascal Kellye Cash. So I guess I had more than three examples, after all, didn't I? (NT) -- These immediately come to mind, 16:22:35 11/20/09 Fri
- I second that! (NT) -- No name, 14:54:47 11/21/09 Sat
- What about Miss Kansas Cherly Prewitt's year? She was the Computer Pick and failed to make the Top 10. (NT) -- What A Very Good Question, 16:52:52 11/20/09 Fri
- Adrianna Sglarta (sp) and Tara Wheeler from VA. I thought the nauseous hype would never quit. I have never seen such hype ove a pair of clappers in my life. Brooke Laurin from NC was also a over hyped barfer with the ridiculous eye make up. Jeez she sure looked like she had just stepped out of a backwoods booty parlor. (NT) -- No name, 17:20:59 11/20/09 Fri
- The hype over Tara continues even though she's not Miss Va anymore. We still have to hear about all her wonderful deeds and every breath she takes. (NT) -- It still lives on, 20:08:36 11/20/09 Fri
- I know, that Tara Wheeler, she is on Good Morning America, America's News Room, Hell, She was even on my AOL home page. Then I heard she was on that devil channel FOX with that Greta woman. How dare she make the publc think about the Miss America Organization, and it is always so sickeningly positive. Who does she think she is. I get so sick of hearing about our girls past and present doing good. (NT) -- That is what you are saying, 21:01:51 11/20/09 Fri
- Yes, and all that "anti bully" stuff we can blame on Adrianna. Since she lobbied for that bill schools now focus on character education and tolerance. And that Wheeler girl just keeps raising money to fight cancer. Why can't these two girls just stop doing so much good. It almost makes me think I should get out there and volunteer myself. How terrible, and from "clappers" too... (NT) -- I wish I could clap that loudly, 21:44:48 11/20/09 Fri
- Sorry that you dragged Adriana into this, she has no business in it. The point about Tara is that she should continue to do the good deeds she is doing, but not continually shove them down people's throats. Most people who do work like this do it quietly and never want the recognition, thats a true volunteer. Not someone who begs the press to be everywhere she's going to be advertises it in her blogs, me me me look at me. (NT) -- That is all, 02:57:32 11/22/09 Sun
- Definitely Miss Oklahoma 2002 Casey Preslar (2nd runner up to Miss A) (NT) -- Cali Livin', 18:41:20 11/20/09 Fri
- Unless her interview was atrocious, I really felt that Shanni Nielsen, Miss Indiana from Tara Dawn's year, should have been Indiana's first Miss America. No one has come close to her outstanding performance of "In His Eyes" since her. She should have been a lock for top five for sure. (NT) -- Wi fan, 19:17:15 11/20/09 Fri
- I thought Taryn Foshee had Miss America written all over her (NT) -- No name, 21:37:23 11/20/09 Fri
- How about the woman who was Miss NY a few years ago, but was actually from Georgia? I am totally blanking on her name, but she was a Rockette. I think she was even Miss Sweetheart the year before she got to Miss A. Everyone thought she was a lock for SS because of the long legs/dancer body, and for talent since she was a Rockette. I don't think she even made Top 10! (NT) -- No name, 22:12:49 11/20/09 Fri
- Jennifer DuPont (NT) -- No name, 22:20:58 11/20/09 Fri
- Miss Florida 1996, Jamie Bolding (NT) -- No name, 01:07:36 11/21/09 Sat
- Heather Rathbun (NT) -- No name, 02:00:07 11/21/09 Sat
- Alabama's Amanda Tapley - Her family and college friends hyped her more than the current PR is being hyped and could not believe she did not win; some of them even stated she was the most beautiful, talented, etc. of any contestant EVER....even had people banned on forums who did not think she was the greatest - talk about ego.... (NT) -- No name, 06:57:42 11/21/09 Sat
- Megan Welch, Miss Florida.....early 90's (NT) -- No name, 07:24:23 11/21/09 Sat
- The former Miss SC who lost to Phyllis George (NT) -- No name, 12:01:22 11/21/09 Sat
- Jill Stevens. People assumed that the military angle, combined with her beautiful looks, would be such a great idea for a Miss America. But we all know what happened at Miss America. (NT) -- No name, 12:58:32 11/21/09 Sat
- The answer is Charlene Dallas, Miss CA 66 (1st RU to Jane Jayroe). She won both prelims and was BEAUTIFUL. We all sighed went it went down... (NT) -- Dame Edweena, 19:55:43 11/21/09 Sat
