Pageant contestant re-answers question
COLUMBIA, S.C. - This time, the question was a little easier for Miss Teen South Carolina.
ADVERTISEMENT
After being stumped by a Miss Teen USA pageant question on live television Friday night, Lauren Caitlin Upton's confused, mangled response has been drawing a lot of attention.
The 18-year-old got a chance to redeem herself Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show when she was again asked why one-fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a map.
"I would love to re-answer that question," Upton said. "Well personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map. I don't know anyone else who doesn't. And if the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography."
That was much better than her previous response, which included "U.S. Americans" and mentions of South Africa and "the Iraq."
A YouTube video of Upton has drawn a couple million hits and thousands of comments, many of them with harsh remarks for the Lexington High School graduate who plans to attend Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C.
Upton was taking her flubbed answer � and the attention � in stride.
"Everything did come at me at once. I was overwhelmed and I made a mistake. Everybody makes a mistake. I'm human," she said Tuesday. "I seriously think I only heard about one or two words of the actual question."
Upton's former principal Creig Tyler remembered her as a well-rounded student.
"She took college-prep and honors courses and performed well," Tyler told The (Columbia) State newspaper.
Miss Teen Colorado Hilary Carol Cruz won the crown. Upton was third runner-up.

What's sad is that you know she's going to get some high paying job when she finishes college. |

I've had those kinds of days when I try to speak other languages--like today. It's hard to say if she had a brain fart, or if she does that all the time. |

Actually, very culturally conscious as she's allowing that "Americans" aren't just the ones from the US. |
She's not gonna f[u]ck you, man.. |
I think this is why so many good looking women are stupid.
A pretty girl can say the dumbest stuff and four or five guys
will find a way to agree with her. |
You likely just have better recollection of those whom are stupid. |

She sounds like George Bush when he speaks. You said she is hot, blonde, and dumb. I agree with the first two. I don't agree that she is dumb. She was extremely nervous. Even though she was nervous, there is no excuse for saying "The Iraq" considering Iraq has been in the news for years, and she also did not answer the question since she talked about world geography and helping nations. The questioner asked about Americans not knowing how to find America on a map. I am sure she's a nice girl, but she did mess up. Also, I don't think it's okay to go on TV using a strong accent whether you're from New York or Tennessee.
That's just my opinion. |
