Miss Georgia Betty Cantrell is Miss America 2016, and she’s a good reason to still care about Miss America. Of course, we’ve cared plenty about all of the Miss America 2016 contestants while checking them out before tonight’s big pageant, but we had high hopes for Miss Georgia in those final moments–when she complained about losing her earring. That was a cool moment. [lead image via Getty]
It was also a nice last-minute redemption for our own Miss America predictions, since we got all excited last year about Miss Alabama and her hot sorority. She did alright, but didn’t get the crown. That went to the lovely Kira Kazantsev of New York state. She had a quick Alpha Phi Sorority scandal of her own, but managed to survive that.
We heard a rumor that Kira also made out with Wiz Khalifa recently, but that can’t be confirmed. No telling what Betty Cantrell will get up to as Miss America, of course–but we’re looking forward to learning more about the Georgia peach as she gets ready to be the new Miss America that we need…
