A Perfect Example of a Dumb Blond.

Gabs I too am a blonde but thank goodness not stupid.

Yeah, the rest of the girls did fine. The rest of the girls didn't flip out. Not everyone is the same. You're right, maybe pageants aren't up her alley. Maybe she isn't cut out to stand on stage and answer a question in front of thousands of people. But the fact that everyone is making fun of her is ridiculous. People make mistakes. I feel bad for the poor girl. I've gotten on stage and completely goofed up an on-stage question. I know how it feels. The general idea of my point here is that people should give her a break. I despise how the world gets their jollies off of others' mistakes and pitfalls. Everyone has jumped on this whole thing like vultures. It's ridiculous, really. Get a life and stop trying to make someone else's miserable.

Yes I could. I have and I do not have the need to pretend. Non of the other contestants gave such a dumb answer. She obviously jumped at the chance for more exposure on the Today Show attempting to redeem herself and only made herself appear even dumber. My daughter would have had the intelligence to listen to the question and then respond. Which, by the way, the young lady admitted she did not really listen to.

mkirby,if she is old enough to strutt around in a skimpy bikini in front of millions she should be old enough to answer a simple question! Age us no excuse and like whiteheather said, the other girls were doing just fine. If she gets so nervous that she can't even answer a simple question, then maybe peagents aren't up her alley. It takes more then looks to be a beauty queen, she seemed to have forgotten that.

When you put it that way it is really quite funny. Today on TV she said her parents had raised her well. No that any askedbout her parent but somewhere her schooling has been sadly neglected.

Oh good gosh. You act like because she gives a bad answer that she's a complete idiot. Yeah, her answer was nuts, but speaking in front of a large crowd is difficult, and to be asked a question that completely catches your off guard makes it even worse. No one is "at fault" here. This has nothing to do with teachers or parents, it has to do with her struggling to answer a questions in front of thousands of people that caught her off guard.

Mkirby all the contestants were asked questions and they all LISTENED to what was being asked and then answered appropriately. This young lady did not even feel it was necessary to even listen to the question and she admitted this today on the Today Show further proving to millions of people that she is not too swift. Actually she did a good job today on becoming the "poster child" for dumb blond jokes.
