Subject: After that talent, you think Top 10 would be a reach? Are you new? After some of the talents seen in that Top 10 the past few years, and you think NY would be a "reach?"

Subject Author Date I totally agree with you. New York was perhaps the best talent in the Miss competition. The problem is when they reduced talent to only 20%, it opens the door for average talents to sneak in the top 10. This is why talent should be weighted at 30% and fitness reduced to 10%. People keep saying that talent doesn't matter in this competition, but it should matter. Miss America should be an exceptionally talented, well-spoken, intelligent, and relateable individual.

Sorry but talent at 30% is ridiculous and if anything it should be removed. I agree Miss America should be well-spoken, intelligent and relateable but she should also be a gorgeous and fit woman since you are going to be the face of the brand and women across America.

Without talent, this competition becomes void of any entertainment value. And i agree with you that Miss America should be fit and attractive. What people continually forget, including Gretchen Carlson who nearly destroyed this prorgam by spouting off that "we will no longer judge a candidate on their physical appearance," is that as long as their is a final ballot in place, you will never get an unfit, unattractive Miss America.
