Miss America 2019: Who Took Home the Crown?

Miss America looked and sounded a tad different this year.


Gone was the swimsuit competition, for instance.


Very much present, however, was a focus on the ongoing political climate in this country.




miss americas


Miss Michigan, Emily Sioma, went viral and earned Internet acclaim by introducing her as “from the state with 84% of the US fresh water but none for its residents to drink.”


This is a reference to the lead water crisis in Flint, Michigan… which started in 2014 and which still has residents forced to drink only bottled or filtered water.


But the judges perhaps were not looking to delve into such topics in depth, considering Sioma did not make the Top 15.


As for who came out on top of the entire thing?


Let’s build the drama and first note that Carrie Ann Inaba and Ross Mathews hosted the event, which aired live from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.


It featured Miss Connecticut Bridget Oei taking runner-up and Miss Louisiana Holli’ Conway taking third place…


… and Miss New York Nia Franklin being crowned the champion!




franklin


“It took a lot of perseverance to get here, and I want to thank my family, my mom and dad, who is a survivor of cancer. And all my sisters behind me, I love each and every one of you,” she said upon earning the honor.


Is she a deserved Miss America?


For her talent portion, Franklin showcased her vocal abilities by performing part of an opera.


The contestant actually composed her first song was she was just six-years-old. Which is insane!


During the question-and-answer segment, Franklin was asked how she would promote positive body image as Miss America. She replied:


“I grew up in a school with only 5% minority, but growing up, I found my love of arts and through music, I felt positive about myself and who I was.


“That’s what I would encourage young girls to do, find who you are.”




nia


Frankln became the first winner in the 98-year history of the contest to NOT be forced to get into a bathing suit on stage and strut around, showing off her boobs, stomach and rear end.


How did she feel about that development?


“These changes, I think, will be great for our organization,” she told reporters after she won, adding:


“I’ve already seen so many young women reaching out to me personally as Miss New York asking how they can get involved because I think they feel more empowered that they don’t have to do things such as walk in a swimsuit for a scholarship.”


Amen, right?


It’s sort of stunning this event even takes place in 2018, but the swimsuit elimination is a nice start.




she won


Explained Gretchen Carlson, the newly minted chair of the Miss America Organization’s Board of Trustees, in June:


“We are no longer a pageant. We are a competition.


“We will no longer judge our candidates on their outward physical appearance. That’s huge! And that means that we will no longer have a swimsuit competition.”


Added Franklin of this evolution:


“I’m happy that I didn’t have to do [wear a bikini] to win this title tonight because I’m more than just that. And all these women onstage are more than just that.”


Congratulations again to Miss America 2019, Nia Franklin!

Miss USA 2018: Who Took Home the Sexist Crown?!?

Two days after Great Britain gave folks a look behind the lives of those involved with its crown, the United States went ahead and did something similar.


Kind of. Sort of. In a way, we guess.


America went ahead and crowned a new Miss USA.



While it seems unfathomable that such a contest still exists in the year 2018, especially as the #MeToo movement grows stronger and people finally realize that women are more than sexual objects, the competition really did air on Monday night.


And a lovely young women with huge boobs, a great body and a not totally asinine answer to a very broad and dumb question came out on top.


Congratulations, Sarah Rose Summers!


Indeed, Miss Nebraska was turned into Miss USA 2018 yesterday evening at the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum in Shreveport-Bossier, Louisiana.


After competing hard against 50 other women, Sarah Rose Summers impressed the judges with her brains, beauty and skill set.



Early in the show, for example, the busty blonde was asked to speak on the fact that one in four children in the United States live in single parent households.


How has that affected our generation’s views on marriage and family? she was asked.


(To be clear, this question is not dumb at all, as we mentioned above. It’s a very important problem. But it’s ridiculous to ask of beauty pageant contestants who are then given under a minute to respond.)


“I am so grateful to have grown up in a home with two parents,” Summer said, adding in profound detail:


“And so I can’t personally relate to this.


“However, I do work in children’s hospital as a certified child life specialist where I’m a liaison between the children and families and the medical team and I’ve seen single mothers at the bedside working remotely on their computers to stay by their children and support them.


“And I think that it just shows that children – no matter if it’s a boy or a girl – that they can do that.”


Summers also strutted across the stage at one point in a bikini:



For Summers, her final scenario was picturing herself on the way to a march or a protest and then someone hands her a blank sign and a marker.


What do you write on her sign and why?


She answered:


I say speak your voice. I don’t know what march we’re on our way to in this hypothetical situation, but no matter where you’re going, whatever type of march it is, you’re obviously on your way to that march because you care about that cause so go speak to people.


When they have questions, communicate with them. Listen to their views also.


That is one thing in the United States that we really need to focus on is listening to each other!


Please check out the following photo while we slam our heads against our desks for the next 30 seconds…



For the first time ever, this year’s Miss USA selection committee was comprised of all female entrepreneurs, business leaders and industry experts.


They included  former Miss USA contestants and members were:


  • Today show contributor Lilliana Vazquez

  • HLN host Natasha Curry

  • Founder/CEO of IT Cosmetics Jamie Kern Lima

That’s great and all.


But such a panel does not make a beauty contest any less antiquated or sexist.


Still: Congrats to Sarah Rose Summers!

Matt Roloff Roasted by Fans: You Took Credit for Amy"s Idea!

Little People, Big World star Matt Roloff has found himself in a bit of a pickle. Over pumpkin salsa.


See, he recently celebrated the Roloff Farm Pumpkin Salsa being more prominently displayed in select grocery stores.


But fans say that there’s a problem: it’s Amy’s salsa, and he’s claiming credit for it now that it’s a success.



Amidst worry that he will leave Roloff Farms, Matt took to social media for a happy announcement:


“Tori and Jackson pointed out last week at @toriroloff … our Roloff Farm Pumpkin salsa has been promoted to right smack dab in the middle of the store in the All Natural area… (at markets in our area).”


This, he says, is great news for fans who are looking to taste it.


“No more spending hours trying to find it.”


For other stores that aren’t putting it on prominent display, he suggests that people can request it.


“If it’s not already at your local store be sure to ask for at any @krogerco brand store.”


Kroger is America’s largest grocery store chain.


“It’s delicious and healthy!”



All of that sounds great!


(Especially the pumpkin salsa itself, honestly)


But fans noticed one particular detail about that post.


“I remember the show during pumpkin season where Amy had to dress up like a honeybee because you told her that HER salsa wasn’t selling and she had to do something to promote it.”


Every fandom’s memory is long. That is certainly true for reality fans.


“Funny to see that you refer to it as OUR salsa now”


Another fan wrote:


“The salsa was prepared by Amy, and Matt wanted to take over … then all of a sudden he started calling it our salsa.”


That person continues:


“As usual, he wanted all the credit for himself, and when it was a success, he changed his mind.”



That fan is not wrong.


Even as they were in the process of divorcing — remember when Matt was living in a double-wide trailer? — Matt and Amy disagreed over salsa.


Matt, as fans have seen over the years and as Amy reminded fans on the Little People, Big World season premiere, likes to dive headfirst into each project.


He doesn’t pace himself, and can sometimes go overboard. That probably worked out well for him when he worked in Silicon Valley. That isn’t always good for relationships, however.


In turn, he becomes frustrated when he sees someone else’s project moving along at a slower pace.


Even aside from the chicken incident to which the commenter refers, Matt expressed a number of doubts about Amy’s salsa project.


And, for a long time, it really did seem that he was just leaving it to Amy.



Matt’s enthusiastic fans weren’t going to take that criticism without a fight.


“Without Matt there wouldn’t be a Roloff Farms of any kind! Like it or not Matt made Roloff Farms practically on his own.”


That seems a little beside the point to some.


“He’s had almost every vision that is there today.”


Hmmm.


“Matt might not have made the salsa, but he knows how to market it.”


Either way, he and Amy did work on it together. So calling it our salsa is probably fair.


Perhaps some fans wish that he’d put more faith in Amy in the past, but he can’t change that now.



Honestly, pumpkin makes for a fantastic ingredient in salsa.


For anyone interested (I have to say, i was pretty curious), you can get their pumpkin salsa from Fred Meyer, QFC, and Roth’s Fresh Markets.


And, of course, at some Kroger locations — Kroger owns Fred Meyer.


If you’re looking to order it online because it’s 2018 and that’s how most of us do most of our shopping anyway, Roth’s gives you the option to order some online.


That’s not an endorsement — we have no idea how it tastes. But we figured that some folks probably got a little curious as they were reading the #salsagate discourse.
