Less Is More!!

The 52 contestants had no idea what they would be in for on this show. I think some of them thought is was going to be a 4 week vacation and not a competition. Each week they will be ranked - Top 3 and Bottom 3. The end of the show the Top 3 will get a 10,000 scholarship and a new wardrobe. Don't forget the fan favorite will become one of the top 16 finalists at the pageant.

The show basically wants Miss America in be the next "IT GIRL". Well if they wanted an "IT GIRL" someone better put out a sex tape, go to rehab and get arrested...I guess that's not very queen like. Once they arrive at the house, Stacy London & Clinton Kelly from What Not To Wear, go through each girls luggage and tell them what they shouldn't wear. The next day they have a physical challenge to win rights to the 7 bathrooms in the house...I know someone was going to get half a shower (52 girls - 7 bathrooms). After the dinner/Q&A session, they let the girls know their ranking.

Top 3 - Week 1
  1. Miss South Carolina
  2. Miss Pennsylvania
  3. Miss Utah
Bottom 3 - Week 1
  1. Miss Vermont
  2. Miss Idaho
  3. Miss Oklahoma
They keep reminding the girls that LESS IS MORE!! But you can't wipe out years of pageant training in a day (maybe not in 4 weeks)...so you know people had big hair and lots of makeup. I'm curious to see what's the overall new look they are going for...but I'm waiting for the big over the top breakdown/blowup. Isn't that what reality TV is all about.
