Subject: You aren't seriously comparing Nia and Morgan? You just made the above posters point. Talent was supposed to be 50%. Morgan couldn't have placed in the ten with that Talent. It was the bottom ten.

In reply to: 's message, "I watched miss America and the best talent won. And it was a phenomenal talent! I love Morgan and I know the Miss SC Board has always been successful in preparing their girls for the national level. And I have no doubt Morgan will shine at the national level." on Monday, July 01, 12:29:19pm
