Fresh as always.

First of all, Kudos to you for even knowing that there IS a difference!!

Miss USA is mostly about looks. There are three phases of competition all weighted equally - evening gown, swimsuit and interview.

Miss America is more about the total package. There are five phases of competition - Talent at 35%, Interview at 25%, Evening Gown at 20%, Swimsuit at 15% and On Stage Question at 5%.

There are three things that really make the Miss America system different...there is a talent portion, the interview is much more intense and, most importantly, it provides millions of dollars in scholarships not only to the winners, but runner ups, preliminary winners, etc. every year.

Neither system is necessarily "better" than the other. They are just different. There are girls that are successful only in one system, but there are many that crossover and are successful in both.

Hope this explains it

Does not really offer $1 million in scholarships.... if offers scholarships to various institutions, which total up to be $1 million. They can pick an institution, and get a portion of that money, allocated to that institution.

The rest of the scholarship money is then no longer valid.

Jesus Christ you're almost as bad as Mike for somehow being able to ruin even the dumbest of poop.

MB better not trade our #9 pick for Fowler??

I'm more worried about the draft than excited because the two-headed retard combo is at the helm??

These guys could (frank) up a glass of cold water!

Lost yesterday in the Subban talk, Bergevin said that trading #9 for a guy "who can help us and who's relatively young" was a possibility.
