They already named the winner for 2017? Well, it looks like I won't bother to watch next year.

I'm not belittling her accomplishment. I was making a corny joke.

I didn't watch this pagent, but did she get robbed

Like Ali did? When Ali got second, only one judge didn't score her first and that judge essentially rigged it by giving Ms NY all 5s and Ali all 3s. That judge also happened to be a guest judge from the state of NY.

yes, her answer was much better than the girl that won, plus

Rachel was better looking than the winner. Now there are many other areas for judging and I guess the other contestant had her beat in those areas. But in just looks and answer, Rachel was best hands down.

She did not get robbed - She would have won had she not selected an "over the top evening gown" which was too revealing for a Miss USA! Other than that outstanding job Rachel!!!!

Actually, I think Arkansas just had her beat in

the talent category. I thought Miss South Carolina had Arkansas beat in everything else. She beat Arkansas in swimsuit, interview, and evening gown. My gosh, Arkansas' question alone should hae kept her from winning. It was not an over the top evening gown. Ali Rogers finished 1st runner-up in 2013 and was told she wasn't quite edgy enough. This year, I think Rachel had great talent, but it just didn't beat Arkansas, who won the preliminary talent competition, so you know she scored high on finals night. The problem is that the one category that Arkansas probably beat her in was the category with the heaviest weight. And although Rachel's talent was very good, I think she made a mistake dancing to that country song. It was just too much of that and she would have been better off picking a more cosmopolitan song.
Rachel was hands down the prettiest girl on the stage, except maybe for Miss Indiana, who didn't even make the top-15. When Indiana was left out of the top-15, I thought wow, she must have told them to go to hell in the interview. I didn't see any other way she was left out. Seriously though, Indiana must have scored extremely low in the talent category.
