Miss America Eliminates Swimsuits, we Can’t Even

Miss America 1970 Being Crowned
According to WIFR the Miss America Pageant will no longer judge on looks, and the swimsuit portion is a goner.
What began almost one hundred years ago as a "bathing suit contest", is no more. The Miss America Pageant is done judging swimsuits and done judging the womens looks...what?
"We're not going to judge you on your appearance because we are interested in what makes you you". - Gretchen Carlson, former Miss America and the head of the organization's board of trustees.
Can you say bye-bye ratings? Maybe Steve Harvey can host this one too and say something stupid, that might be their only hope.
