I'm confused as to how Miss California USA can change its parameters without the entire Miss Universe organization also changing those same parameters. Miss California USA is a small sub-section of the Trump owned organization and if one pageant's rules changes, they must all change.
Also, most pageants did away with the swimsuit competition several years ago and due to a public outcry, brought it back. Pageants without swimsuits are not pageants at all. Historically, all pageants started out purely as swimsuit competitions and by removing that aspect, you are ignoring the long-standing history and traditions of an institution.
what perez fails to note, is that there are 2 more seasons that will air in the interim (19 episodes). So it's not like we'll be waiting 2 years to see one episode, we'll get to see 18 episodes over the next two years leading up to the finale in 2011.
thanks for posting this, perez! my sister suffers from ulcerative colitis so i have seen first hand the devastating effects of the disease. there is no cure for ibd, yet. any donations that come to the ccfa through your site will go toward some very worthwhile research!
