It's pretty clear that Trump is completely devoid of any depth. Look at how he's ruined the Miss Universe organization. He's stripped the pageant of its elegance and class, and left a runway full of airheaded women in its wake. If you watch some of the old pageants from the 90's, the women are so empowering: intellegent, articulate, and beautiful. The current "mature" 20+ year old contestants of Miss USA can't compete with the Miss Teen contestants in the 90's.

Brooke rocked in a very good Miss USA Pageant! Take it from a person who saw Miss USA in the Falls from 74-76. They were the glory days.

@tdsmth391 You can lose weight in a heathy way. It is called diet and exercise under the guidance of a doctor and nutritionist and personal trainer. Trump felt that out of this three Tennessee's answer was closest to what he felt Miss Universe should have done. Because he wanted her to lose weight. But his personal choice was Florida.

Trump felt that the judges chose Brook b/c her answer was the most politically correct. He said that if they were going to go based off only the final answer that Tennessee should have won b/c she emphasized losing weight like h er wanted Miss Universe to do.

When Brooke answered that question, I knew there was no way she could be topped! Brandi gave a good answer but did not really answer the question. Tennessee was horrible and didn't belong in the top 3.

i was in kindergarten when i first saw this. tennessee her answer was terrible. Hawaii had the most beautiful answer, idaho did too but hawaii had got the most meaningful answer.

[tdsmth391]

Ms. Tennessee's answer was terrible. Will lose weight in a healthy way?/// You have to tell the judges that inner beauty is true beauty.

In both the Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageant, the front-runners: Florida in USA and Curacao (and Italy) failed to make the final 3, thus opening the door to Brook to win both pageants. I often wonder if these two women made the final 3, will the outcome be different.

@gymnastmike I had to look what i typed 2 years ago. But thanks, I take that as a compliment . I just tried to help :)

[robinquinc329]

@gymnastmike We all know that he wanted Florida, but I was talking about once the final three was chosen. He hired Miss Florida after the pageant to work for him.

@robinquinc329 Uh, no. I talked to Don that night. He wanted Florida to win, and he asked me if Hawaii was the best choice, and I said absolutely.
