As a part of the judging fifty three women representing the states of the union got the task of modeling in front of judges in evening and bikini wear, before they were whittled all the way down to 10 women who were then asked to perform in front of judges (the winning contestant selected to sing opera while Miss Texas played classical piano and Miss Louisiana performed up to date dance sporting ballet shoes) before finally being asked a series of queries as a part of the ultimate crowning.
Asked to discuss her political affiliation the adroit Ms Kaeppeler answered the following:
“Miss America represents everybody, thus i believe the message to political candidates is that they represent everybody further. And thus in these economic times, we want to be trying forward to what America wants, and that i suppose Miss America 2012 must represent all.”
Ms Kaeppeler was ultimately declared the winner in front of seven judges who included Dancing With the celebs professional Mark Ballas, ABC reality honcho Mike Fleiss, Kardashian clan mom Kris Jenner, actress Teri Polo and sensible Morning America anchor Lara Spencer, the judging going down carry on ABC TV out of Las Vegas.
The new Miss USA won a $50 000 scholarship and can wear the title for a year to come back throughout which period she's going to tour the country creating public appearances further as raising cash for the Children’s Miracle Network, the Miss America Organization’s official charity.
