Alright, I was just teasing, she really is that dumb. Seriously though, Lauren Caitlin Upton, otherwise known as Miss Teen South Carolina (or in my house, Jesus, she’s stupid), wants you to know that she did not do anything wrong. She told The State newspaper in South Carolina, “I wasn’t expecting the question. I lost my train of thought.” Wow. I didn’t even know she had one.
Since she mentioned that she lost her train of thought, the Today Show is being nice enough to give her some study time (to find out what maps are and where America is on one) and they are going to give her another chance to answer the question.
Mario Lopez, who was the host of the Teen USA pageant, told People that he would have liked to help her, but he was not allowed to talk to the contestants while they were answering the questions. He felt bad for her according to what he said.
Surprisingly enough, Miss Teen South Carolina is a varsity athlete and a student leader at Lexington High School. Not only that, but she graduated in June with a grade point of 3.5. I’m thinking there was some sort of sliding scale.
Despite her lack of intelligence or ability to think on her feet, Miss Teen South Carolina came in third. This just goes to show we shouldn’t let twinkle toes Joey Lawrence and Sabrina (the formerly) teenage witch judge the young up and coming teens in our society.
