Miss America gets reality

This is hysterical to me. A show that is about “not real” women parading around for the honor of Queen of the paper dolls is going to get real with a reality show. The producers of the Miss America pageant are gonna take us behind the scenes and let us see what goes into picking America’s next paper doll. Details:

"The pageant will tape a seven-episode documentary series titled "Finding Miss America" in Los Angeles from Sept. 5 to Sept. 13.

The series, which is to air on Country Music Television for a week preceding the televised pageant finals in January will show the 52 women in preliminary competition and give viewers a chance to choose which ones advance to the top 15 for a shot at becoming Miss America 2007."

I know times are desperate for the plastic doll pageant, but come on, the Country Music channel. Besides the “you must be a redneck” crew, who watches the CMT? Now don’t get me wrong. I love my Tim McGraw and Shania, but to SAVE the pageant you need BIG numbers and the CMT is a small piece of the American viewing pie. How about SPIKE? "Dude! Chicks in swimsuits." Or, how about LIFETIME because the Miss America pageant is a living woman’s tragic story. People stopped watching the Miss America pageant because it’s BORING and TIRED.

And honestly, are we going to get to actually see the bitch fights. You know they happen! I want to see the carnage, I want to see the claws come out, the hair pulling, and the sabotage because that’s really what these pageants bring out in people. I also want to see how they tape up all them boobies, put industrial strength cover-up on those imperfections, and plaster all that makeup that never seems to smudge under those hot lights.

Of course, we won’t see any eating on camera. Nope! No eating allowed. However, for PR antics, I bet they get a few of the contestants, the ones you know who don’t have a chance of winning, to talk about how they really do eat, and that there is not really any pressure to starve before the BIG show. Yeah, feed the illusion sisters.
