Unfortunately she also wins the suck-up award:

If you could have lunch with any one (1) person, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Donald Trump, of course!. He is the epitome of the American business entrepreneur--but wouldn't you like to know his likes and dislikes? What his favorite lunch meal is? How he ties in beauty pageants with say, real estate? Having been on the high and low end of success, what makes him keep on ticking and what is the driving force behind his business conglomerations? He is a household name and I would like to get to know him as a person. One-on-one!

People still watch these things?

Pageant Contestant Re-Answers Question

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - This time, the question was a little easier for Miss Teen South Carolina. After being stumped by a Miss Teen USA pageant question on live television Friday night, Lauren Caitlin Upton's confused, mangled response has been drawing a lot of attention.

The 18-year-old got a chance to redeem herself Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show when she was again asked why one-fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a map.

"I would love to re-answer that question," Upton said. "Well personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map. I don't know anyone else who doesn't. And if the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography."

That was much better than her previous response, which included "U.S. Americans" and mentions of South Africa and "the Iraq."

A YouTube video of Upton has drawn a couple million hits and thousands of comments, many of them with harsh remarks for the Lexington High School graduate who plans to attend Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C.

Upton was taking her flubbed answer _ and the attention _ in stride.

"Everything did come at me at once. I was overwhelmed and I made a mistake. Everybody makes a mistake. I'm human," she said Tuesday. "I seriously think I only heard about one or two words of the actual question."

Upton's former principal Creig Tyler remembered her as a well-rounded student.

"She took college-prep and honors courses and performed well," Tyler told The (Columbia) State newspaper.

Miss Teen Colorado Hilary Carol Cruz won the crown. Upton was third runner-up.

2Blonde this chick is making you guys look stupid!!!

go slap her !!!

[ShoogarBear]

I bet.

[TheSanityAnnex]

She sounded stupid as , but how many of you tried to answer stupid questions on National TV when you were 18?

[angel_luv]

I think she was asked a lame question. There really isn't a nice and truthful way to explain why Americans cannot find their own country on a map.

[ShoogarBear]

There is a truthful way.

[angel_luv]

There is a truthful way.

Which is why I said there is not a truthful and nice way.

[ShoogarBear]

Given those options, we know which way you will always go.

Unless Sequ is involved.

I am afraid to ask- do you think I am mean to Sequ or mean to every one?

[ShoogarBear]

The way it was phrased, either I meant you are nice only to Sequ, or you are nice to everyone except Sequ.

The answer will be left as an exercise to the reader.

[PM5K]

So wait, they said 1 in 5, that's 20%, there are 300 million people in America, so you're telling me that 60 million people in this country can't find the United States on a map?

I'd be interested in learning more about that study...

Thanks so much.

[TheSanityAnnex]

The question was lame. I don't even know how I'd answer it.
