either that or pageant contestants can't smile and walk at the same time
(cue angry feminists/pageant-loving sloggers)

They may look exotic, but thats a misconception. Thats western mans influence. That girl was still beutiful before and after the fall.

Recovery from falling on her ass in front of the world or not, she still fell on her fucking ass and 9 other women didn't and she still ended up in the top 5.

Hmmmm...who is the producer of this event...is it an American event? Hmmmm...is it Donald Trump??

yes it is. America can do no wrong.

America, ladies and gentlemen, let's give it up.

On a personal level, of course I feel really, really bad for her. That has to be one hell of a way to end your pageant career.

I'm imagining right after Miss USA was announced as a top-five finalist. Spinning of that imaginary scenario, I envision some cloak-and-dagger stipulation that Miss USA must make the top five, simply to make sure the American audience sticks it out to the end of the broadcast, and American advertisers get their money's worth. Normally, honoring this stipulation wouldn't be a problem—with the generic standards of beauty apllied to such pageants, all Miss USA has to do to earn her place in the top five is not fall on her ass. BUT SHE DID, and when she still qualified for the top five, the ruse was exposed, and boos were unleashed.

Oh dear God, I just spent two minutes fleshing out a Miss Universe conspiracy theory....is this what it means to be childless?

(Fred MacMurray and Mikey from the Life cereal box are the long-standing comparisons.) Unless you're talking about my soul. My soul is identical to Charlie Brown's.

As for why they booed, I can't compete with your fully fleshed-out theory!

The weird part is she looks EXACTLY like the previous girl. Maybe it's a contest for...clones? Hmm??
