As with most things that are happening in this country. This will only happen is no one objects. The squeaky wheel get the oil. If people stand up change will come.

In 2018, isn't it time to get rid of beauty contests (or whatever you want to call them) period.>

While there is more important news going on in the world, a recent announcment came stating that the Miss America contest is eliminating the swimsuit competition so that more attention is paid to the entrants' brains and character than their beauty. Poor move, IMHO. While the contestants are given every opportunity to showcase their intelligence, personality, and character, it has always been, in large part, a beauty contest. Eliminating the swimsuits in this pageant is like getting rid of fighting in the NHL. Any thoughts on this trivial matter?

Just a thought. Over the years the swimsuit part has evolved for fully covered to barely covered. What has caused all of this? It must be the loosening of morals. But that is besides the story. Now with moral relaxed they want to eliminate what they think is the problem. Hmm... Pretty soon the moral thing comes full circle.
I must admit that the women of today look much better than they did in the thirties.

I'll be interested to see the ratings. I think there were about 5 people who watched it. 4 of them will now boycott.

The woman heading up the pageant said it's no longer a pageant. Judging will be on their talent and their responses to the questions asked. So the winner could very well be obese and pug-ugly.

I could care less, I have never watched one, but sounds like they're doing what they should have done to begin with!

The country has gone absolutely ape crap PC crazy! I'd be tempted to say "no swim suity, no watchy" but I didn't watch it anyway. I married the beauty of my life fifty two years ago.
