Viva tap dancing
Although a giant piano hogged the stage, three of the 10 remaining contestants tap danced during the talent portion. When viewed on TV, the fancy footwork can look more like a round of Wii Fit than artistry. But Miss Oklahoma worked it and won a $2,000 Amway scholarship.
Pageant shaming
The pageant moved along at a brisk pace, but it came with a harsh vibe, as the co-hosts repeatedly rushed the contestants to change for the next segment. (Mentioning the Amway changing tent didn't help, either.) After being herded around, the eliminated contestants sat on stage and watched the remaining Miss America hopefuls perform.
Somehow, there was plenty of time to give a demo of Brooke's new workout DVD. She led the eliminated contestants through a series of moves not suited for their formal attire or crowded stage.
Later, the co-hosts jokingly bantered about the contestants being deprived of carbs, and Chris sent a round of doughnuts to the eliminated contestants sitting on the stage. The tacky gag prompted Miss America 2010, Caressa Cameron, to tweet, "Yes, please keep feeding into the stereotype that we don't eat."
