Third Runner Up

Since the time I was a child, I always found myself, during Miss America and Miss Universe pagents, routing for what turned out to the be the third runner up. Literally, I think it happened 90 percent of the ones I watched, as far back as I can remember.

I love watching those shows even today, but I don't even know when they're on anymore. But somehow, this past year, I did catch the Swan beauty pagent. That show is about doing plastic surgery, liposuction, extreme working out etc. to make unattractive women pretty. And they can't see their faces for 6 months.

The show was sort of stupid and a waste, becuase none of them were hideous, really. And of course, the prettiest one came in third.
