Yeah, who knew men watch a beauty pageant to observe ah...BEAUTY? TV viewers prefer to watch giant men in spandex after Miss America pageant nixes bikini contest Published time: 10 Sep, 2018 17:31 Edited time: 11 Sep, 2018 12:12 Get short URL The bikini component of the Miss America pageant has been dumped. FILE PIC, Miss Teen USA. Mario Anzuoni / Reuters Television viewership for the Miss America pageant has mysteriously dried up after the contest discontinued the part of the show where the young ladies scamper about in revealing swimsuits. Instead Americans watched football. The 98th Miss America pageant faced-off with the first football game of the season in the primetime TV spot, with the giant, spandex-clad men clobbering the properly clothed, poem-reciting pageant contestants. It wasn’t even close. The number of viewers who tuned in to the ABC’s screening of the beauty competition plummeted 36 percent in ratings compared to last year - which was already a record-low performance. Last year’s beauty contest also squared off against the first Sunday of the NFL regular season – but at least there were supple young ladies wearing bikinis back then.

Scholars will look back on this moment as one of the most predictable television-rating nosedives in recorded human history.
