It's not simple, you really have to think about it. Just off the top of my head, how about comparing a beauty pageant to a livestock competition. Now, how would it look if all the cows had unhealthy coats, dull eyes, cow breath, udders that wouldn't give milk; what kind of a competition is that? Beauty pageants are just that, parading the finest examples of the human species, not the weakest. But because we have evolved, and are an intelligent species, we also judge the mental acuity, moral integrity, and all that other good stuff. I would end by saying a competition is about judging, and you have to have something worth judging that you consider the prime example, or the highest standard of the thing being judged. If you take the beauty aspect away, it ceases to be a pageant, and becomes, maybe something like Jeopardy, by which people aren't judged on their looks but on their brains. We don't call these competitions pageants, because by definition pageants are about beauty, here and all over the world: Miss America, Miss USA, Miss Universe.

PLease......if beauty was not relevant then it wouldn't be called a beauty pageant......The only thing that is hard for them is when they are asked a question....and its always on world peace or curing aids.....you don't have to be smart to answer those.....if you saw a 200 lb in the swimsuit competition what would be her odds of winning....even if she graduated from Yale

They are all beautiful or they wouldn't be in the pageant... The women are also judged on poise, communication, ambition and compassion....among many other things.
You can be knock dead gorgeous but if you open your mouth and trash comes out, how beautiful is that?
Just my thoughts....

Physical beauty is an essential point in a pageant but it is not necessary if the beauty come from inner self. Beauty as in intellengence is more valuable.
