Miss America: She's a little bit Country

Once the organizers of the nation's most famous and venerable beauty pageant have had time to get used to the ignominy of being demoted from network TV to basic cable, they're going to make a few changes. They've already said they'll make the Miss America Pageant more like a reality show, with emphasis on the backstories of the contestants. Here are some other changes I predict will accompany the shift from ABC to CMT:

-pageant moves from Atlantic City to Nashville's Grand Ole Opry
-contestants allowed to wear cowboy boots with evening gowns
-new master of ceremonies is Larry the Cable Guy
-instead of swimsuits: Daisy Dukes
-Jo Dee Messina agrees to be a judge, then quits because her ''give-a-damn's busted''
-''There She Is, Miss America'' replaced by ''Redneck Woman''

How would you change the pageant? (Keep it clean.)

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE, THE HILTONS REALLY NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE AIR AND EVERYONE SHOULD SPEND SOME TIME IN THE SOUTH BEFORE THEY BAD MOUTH IT. SOME OF THE BEST LADIES WERE BORN AND RAISED IN THE SOUTH.

This entire observation is incredibly rude and completely ridiculous. The long time roots of the Southern way of life provide a fantastic background for the pageant. I think that Nashville is a perfect setting and believe that the South can give offer the girls what they are looking for.........respect and adoration. After all, it's the Paris Hilton's of the world that give beautiful young women a bad rap. Let Miss America be and stop being so ignorant to the ways of the South.
