| Subject: I know VA's talent is controversial, and I am sure that it will be discussed for some time to come. I do think she will do very well, and we will likely see it on Thursday night. I don't know the answer to this question, but maybe someone can answer this. Does Camille have a science background or a specific reason that she chose this? I think if it was something relevant to her, it may be accepted more. Or, if it was just something she added, maybe people feel she is not authentic? I don't know much about Camille at all, just what I observed this week. |

's message, "If Miss Virginia could win Talent doing a third grader's science experiment then it just shows you that this panel doesn't know what they're doing --very sorry but I've been following Miss America since the 1960s and she's the only preliminary Talent winner I've ever seen who absolutely has no talent. This is insanity." on 11:04:52 12/17/19 Tue
