When Miss South Carolina stumbled over her answer to a question about the American education system during the 2007 pageant, it quickly became a YouTube sensation. But she was far from the only beauty queen to give a less-than-brilliant answer during her Q&A. Here are the worst beauty pageant answers ever, ranked by just how cringe-worthy they are.
It’s no secret that beauty pageants cop a lot of flak for being nothing more than contests in which women are judged solely on their good looks. While organisers are always emphasising that the contests have evolved beyond this, it’s still easy to overlook the fact that beauty pageants are about more than bikini-clad babes in skimpy outfits. One of the main components of a beauty pageant is the question and answer section, in which contestants are asked to give thought-provoking and empowering answers on everything from their careers to world peace.
Unfortunately, it’s just as common for pageant contestants to fumble over their words as it is for them to give thought-provoking and empowering answers. It’s not uncommon for them to say something that makes no sense, and sometimes they even say things that are downright offensive.
Whether it’s because they’re nervous or because they’re trying to impress the judges, there are plenty of beauty queens who end up saying some pretty weird things during their Q&A. From explaining why she prefers beauty over brains to describing what it’s like to go blind, these beauty pageant quotes funny are guaranteed to make you cringe.
