Like Freya said, Sandra Bullock and the Miss Congeniality films told us otherwise. In fact, the same goes in real life. All of the girls and women who became Miss America are intelligent and talented, and this is clearly displayed in the interview and talent portions of the pageant. In the interview segment, each contestant is asked a serious question regarding a particularly serious issue, and they must respond in an intelligent manner. And in the talent segment, they showcase various special attributes and abilities, such as singing, dancing, or playing a musical instrument, among various other talents. For Miss America, it is not just about the looks, for it is also a scholarship to further education.
