Whewww! It's a good thing South Carolina doesnt have a reputation for being stupid or anything like that. Thank the almighty G-O-D that we have the best school systems and highest test scores in America or people might actually see that video clip and think different about us!
What planet are some yall on? U really expect a teen usa contestant to criticize America? She'd be axed if she was to "keep it real". These ladies are trained to act "positive".
I don't think anyone is focusing on whether her answer was negative or positive ... it's the complete, absolute, stupifying incoherence of it that is so incredible.
The intro is classic: "I personally believe that U.S. Americans[/b]..."
My wife just threw out the possibility that Miss South Crackerlina was being progressive by identifying us as US Americans as opposed to our brothers and sister South Americans. I call bullshit.

I don't think so. This is simply a case of trying to sound sophisticated and misplacing power phrases.
"Well personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map."
My friends and I all have our own maps.
Why does anyone in the U.S. need to find the U.S. on a map anyway? They're already here, it's not like they're going to be travelling there and need directions. Stupid question, she probably wanted to bitchslap the guy for asking such a dimwitted question but that would cost her valuable poise points.
What's most bewildering is "A fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map". um, what???!!!

Or Ohio, as I saw on "Today" show a while back. Other facts people don't know are (1) the first 5 U.S. presidents and (2) the number of planets in the solar system. Immigrants answered #1 better than a sample of random Americans. General knowledge is falling to a laughable point. Also, the National Assessment of Educational Progress studies show that America is in the mid-20's in the world in quality of education.

redemption!
I am pretty sure she was prepared WELL in advance for her redemption.
Lauren Caitlin Upton: beckiest name possible without "becky" actually being in it?
Not much of a redemption... man oh man how did she get into college.
Right. This is the second try?
Well, thank god for that. But what if it was a globe?
or what if her friends weren't with her?
