they should do a nude judging if were judging their bodies like livestock
Comon really thats all you got to comment on the prize money....nothing about how rocking hot the woman looks
So sorry for your lack of vision =)
 @IAMHIGH Actually, I don't think Miss Washington's two-piece suit -especially the top-is that sexy looking. Kind of looks "old school". I think she could have chosen better.
 @IAMHIGH I didn't think I needed to comment on what is obvious to most of us being their beauty.

Apparently all you are think about is how "hot" they are and not about the measly sum they are awarded for the hard work.
Wait a minute here?  The scholarships awarded were $2000 and $1000 for the two contestants? Seems awful paltry considered the millions the sponsors and venue are making on this event.  That money awarded won't even pay for their books for a semester.
