Subject: Well, if you are referring to last nights' pageant you might want to consider that the winner not only was the talent winner, but she tied for interview as well. Which means that she is talented and she can clearly "hold a conversation". Guess you now need to figure out another complaint about why your girl didn't win.

In reply to: Talent vs Interview importance 's message, "Why the change in the scoring criteria? Since when is this organization about the best talent. Interview should always be worth more than talent. How many times has Miss America been asked to perform her talent after winning? This is a scholarship organization and judging criteria should be based on whether or not a young woman can hold a conversation and interview vs being the best singer or dancer." on 09:44:37 03/09/14 Sun

And of course I've heard of the final ballot.
