The Miss America pageant aired on Sunday from Atlantic City, New Jersey, and it had the worst ratings its ever had for airing on a broadcast network.

The broadcast was down 36 percent in the key demographic of 18 to 49, and down 19 percent in total viewers, placing the Miss America pageant the fourth place for the night.

The pageant was retooled after former Miss America Gretchen Carlson was brought on to be the new chairwoman of the board of trustees of the Miss America Organization. Carlson announced the controversial decision to cut out the swimsuit competition in June.

Well if I wanted to listen to a bunch of meaningless opinions of women, I could just watch the view.

Bring back the swimsuits!

Their pageant and they can do whatever they want...

But did they honestly think people were tuning in to watch 22-year-old women play the ukulele and pontificate on political, economic, and social issues?

I think the ratings will be twice as bad next time. There are a good amount of people who tuned in just to skake their head at the car wreck who won't next time.

They went the SJW route instead of beauty and brains. Miss Idaho and Indiana dont belong in a Hooters much less a Miss America stage.

Worst subscription numbers for the Sears Catalog as well.

Seriously, who on Earth gives a shite about pageants aside from creepy moms?

I tuned in with an hour to go to see who made the top 10 and they were just as I had envisioned. 2 hot ones and 8 that were probably good at tap dancing or some other obscure talent. It was very diverse though.....so they had that going for them.
