Train Wrecks
Miss Teen USA Hopeful -- Say What?!

Everyone has their blonde moments, but babbly Miss Teen South Carolina had hers during a nationally televised beauty pageant. Um, duh.


Though the question wasn't exactly difficult: "Why can't 1/5th of Americans locate America on a map?" -- Lauren Caitlin Upton gave an answer that couldn't have made less sense if she were speaking in ancient Selonian ... in fact, maybe she was!

Surprise. Upton didn't win. Watch the teen train wreck attempt to speak.

16. This is THE dumbest b*tch on the PLANET! Oh well. She'll marry some rich guy who thinks her dumbness is cute, they'll procreate, and the cycle of the dumb blonde continues.

17. ...lmfao! you should have let the south go when it wanted to. "some people don't have maps..." and, evidentally, some people don't have a brain, either. sounds like she prepared herself for certain questions in advance and got hit with the "wrong" one. but, ironically, she answered the chosen question with her actions...

20. just another reader. 9.

Wow! What an illiterate person yourself to disparaging reflect ignorance as to California women having "dumb syndrome". Some are beautiful and (then) some are beautiful and do receive a great education.

21. Guys, you don't get it. This girl is a genius, I believe she gave the best answer to this question. Sure, she could have rattled of some generic answer about education in America but instead she decided to give us an abstract version of that answer that you have to read between the lines to get, because 1/5 of Americans are dumb assess that enter beauty contests thinking that their opinions on the issues of the world actually matter. She was being satirical and none of you get it. /sarcasm

22. Poor girl just got nervous up on stage in front of everyone. It happens to everyone. Yeah, she did sound like she didn't know what she was talking about, but I doubt she is really that dumb... just nervous. Go easy on her! She's only a teen!

23. The correct answer, 1 in 5 Americans is either blind or an illegal alien.

24. What is scary is that she did make it to 3rd runner up. How do you think the girl who was 4th runner up felt?

25. Wow. It's a good thing she's pretty.

26. #14, There is no state called "Carolina." There is North Carolina and there is South Carolina. Perhaps you shouldn't cast stones. Having said that, one can see why I am homeschooling my son while living in S.C.

27. And despite this rambling idiocy, this moron STILL came in 4th....what does that say about the validity of this contest - why even front like brains matter when, if this chick is in the top 5, CLEARLY they don't!

28. Translated: I AM AN IDIOT.

30. #7-LOL That is the funniest s*** I have seen in a long time! Her carefully rehearsed answers got thrown for a loop!
