MISS AMERICA 2020

I'm not sure about that science experiment being a winning talent. I guess I wasn't judging.

Do you think the best contestant won?

I didn't watch but reading my local Patch online I found out she's a native from my town. I did read about her science experiment as her "talent". I'll have to see if it's on YouTube.

She's a biochemist, intelligence is always a winning talent.

Not sure about the science experiment either and though I didn't watch the suppopsed talent, I suspect it was not 'high' chemistry, but was ostensibly showy and enough to convince neophyte judges she was a bright woman, which she seems to be. As noted, I didn't watch most of the show, but thought she was probably a good pick. I'm not sure there's a great deal of discernible difference, past a point, between many of the contestants. She was attractive, articulate and accomplished and clearly impressed several panels of judges enough to win. As a Virginian myself, I was glad she did.

I didn't even know it was on? So who won? So the contestant did a science experiement?

I didn’t even know there WAS a miss America anymore! Or that a pageant aired recently!

@Annabellethecat66 She poured potassium iodide into three separate flasks that contained hydrogen peroxide, food coloring, and dish soap. It demonstrated the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

She's studying for a doctor of pharmacy degree at Virginia Commonwealth University

Miss America no longer has a swimsuit or evening gown competition. The focus is on education, careers, and interviews.

She has loved science since she was a kid and wants to show children how fun and interesting it is.

So is it no longer a BEAUTY pageant? Are the contestants in the same range of physical attributes as the population? And if it is now about education, intelligence, and personality, why just women?
