(RNN) - The Miss America competition will no longer have a swimsuit portion of the program, the chair of the board of directors announced Tuesday.
The 97-year-old contest is dedicated to shifting its focus from judging based on physical appearance, said board chair Gretchen Carlson on "Good Morning America."
"We are no longer a pageant," Carlson said. "We are a competition."
The former Fox News host and Miss America 1989 has become a prominent voice on ending sexual harassment in the workplace. She took over her current position at the beginning of the year, and the move comes on the heels of the #MeToo movement.

The end is neigh.

Are they going completely topless? I think that would be a nice compromise.

This decision will last 2 years tops.

I expect quite a bit of rustled jimmies from people who haven't watched the thing in 10 years.

There was a thread on Miss America a month ago and I commented that I couldn’t believe they still had the swimsuit competition. In light of the #metoo BS, I just knew this was coming. Oh well, not as if I have watched the thing in the last 20 years anyway.

It’s about time. Everyone knows the only reason to watch it is to hear their wonderful insight into today’s issues.

And no longer appealing TV to us.

Next year's winner will be over 200 lbs.

So can they be fat now too?
What exactly are they being judged on if not physical appearance? It’s a god damn beauty pageant!
People need to get over themselves.

Zero fricks given!!!
Now I might give a frick or two if CBS and Victoria's Secret stop with their fashion show every year.

One more reason to not watch what I already don't watch.
