I don’t know that each year’s winner will make the claims that Miss Blair made. In any case, I’m skeptical about the whole thing and what it says to our daughters who think this is a great thing, and I wondered aloud about the impact a person in this position can have.

Well, do you intend to run this blog every year, changing the names each year? I don’t see any reason to pick on this particular winner, as opposed to any other winner of a beauty contest.

I think yall are all pretty harsh. Her little sister Grace goes to my skewl and shes really cool and Katie came to our school the other day to give her lunch and she seemed really nice.

It definitely objectifies women, and feeds into something that is not wholesome. Solomon did say in the Proverbs that a husband should delight himself in his wife’s body– and there’s nothing wrong with that. Just as I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with a wife buying things to excite her husband physically (and vice versa if that is possible). But we were created for our spouse– and it is that spouse that should satisfy us– not girls that parade around, teasing men because they would never dress like that for half the men that are watching the show.

I don’t know– I’m sure that there are a lot of males that would really like to have the prettiest girls from each state in their swimwear in their living room. However, I certainly don’t think it’d be appropriate in any believer’s house– especially a married one’s house! (Of course, I was told again by my oldest that this house is his, and only his. I’m guessing that eventually hit kick me out, but I hope not!)

Our former pastor used to say that we shouldn’t ever watch anything on tv that we wouldn’t allow IRL in our living room. Can you imagine? He was referring to language and immorality, of course.
12 bowls of ice cream? That’s pretty generous, Chris!!?? Gag me.

I completely agree with Naron. It demoralizes women and I just find the whole thing detestable.

Yikes. She thinks she’s unique? She’s a good little sheep for consumerism. I guess she does have a work ethic, but it’s channeled into her own narcissitic ambitions.

I can’t stand beauty pagents. Perhaps there was a time when they were all in good fun, but it should be pretty obvious that they have gone too far.

That being said, no woman who sits and eats twelve bowls of ice cream should be looking down on these women as “shallow”. Like you said, it’s good to take care of your body.
