Miss Universe- I just don't get it

The Miss Universe pageant- I just don't get it. Why do you have a beauty pageant and focus on the reigning MU helping HIV patients, traveling the world on good will missions and the like? Why do you spend almost half the air time showing her parading with Kofi Annan when all the viewers want to see is the swimsuit round. We do not want to hear witty repatoire between the contestants and the never-heard-of-before-co-hosts. We do not want to witness the sights and tastes of 'Amazing Thailand'. Trust me, if you showed the swimsuit round first, i do not think the MU pageant would end with as many viewers as it started off with. 1 million viewers? Yeah! To watch a BEAUTY Pageant!

'Are You Hot?' Now that series really got the blood pumping and more importantly, it got straight to the point. Contestants did not have to answer qeustions from a card. Contestants did not have to visit weird out of the way places in the country to have its residents point and stare just for a photo shoot. In this great series, all contestants had to do was to parade on stage in as skimpy attire as the censors would allow, and let the audience decide if they are HOT.

Excellent concept- Contestant goes on stage, struts, and makes the best pose he or she knows how. Audience votes, and u know immediately if you're hot or you're not. Cool.

Why present a show as having the most beautiful women in the world when half of the finalists cannot string a sentense together in English to save their perfect behinds? Why even allow these contestants to even reach the finals in the furst place? Why not just call it the 'Miss English-Speaking Diplomat' pageant?! If it is a pretty face and a hot body that they are looking for, i do wish they would just come right out and say it.

So i guess in the end you just have to ask yourself if you want to watch a true beauty pageant or a failed attempt at promoting 'World Peace'.
