Miss Teen USA Hopeful -- Say What?!

91. Del, I do agree that she was coached. It's obvious her answer was scripted. She just didn't apply the right answer to the right question, out of nerves. Talking on live television is scary even for those of us who are experienced. It's something I have never gotten used to, though I've done it frequently.

92. I am from South Carolina, married to a teacher, and father of a daughter in public school. I think this poor girl just lost it...and I am so sorry for her! I agree that we need to have a deeper knowledge of geography - just do not blame this instance of stage fright on the Palmetto State's education system - I think it is a greater issue for our entire country!

94. It blows me away how most Americans are completely clueless when it comes to geography and history (to name a few subjects). It makes it really difficult to have an intelligent conversation, that's fo shizzle, my fine dime brizzle .

101. Give her a break! Her question was extremely hard to adlib! She is being asked to give a
negative spin on 20% of the people watching her live. Think about it! She is being asked to give a reason why so many others are ignorant, on national TV!!! Any other good-natured person could have easily gotten just as tongue-tied!
