The Miss America pageant is airing this Sunday on ABC! I always look forward to watching the Miss America pageant because my husband and I get super into it and very competitive. You might think it is odd that my sports-loving husband watches the pageant with me (especially since it is also the opening Sunday of the NFL season), but I’ll explain why I get him to tune in to Miss America every year…and no, it is not just for the bathing suits. My mother-in-law has been a pageant director for over 40 years and my sister-in-law once competed in the Miss Minnesota pageant and is now a pageant director herself. So my husband heard a lot of pageant talk growing up and while attending several pageants as a kid he picked up a knack for selecting the crowning girl.
It is fun watching Miss America with him because he really does do a good job at selecting the top girls. Every year we turn the pageant night into a little healthy competition of who can pick the winner. A few years ago I created a score sheet to fill out as we were watching and it took our pageant viewing to a new level. I’m sharing the printable scoring sheet with you today and I highly recommend printing a few off before watching the pageant on Sunday. It is super easy to follow along and it makes it really fun to watch and select your own favorite girls.
The sheet is pretty self-explanatory, you need to select your 15 favorite girls during the video introductions. The introductions move kind of fast, so sometimes I put one star by the girls I like and two stars by the girls I really like. Then over the commercial break I can narrow the list down and make sure I only have 15 selected and then take a stab at guessing Miss America just from watching the intros. My husband has done it before!
Next you would select and write down the top 12 girls during the swimsuit competition, the top 10 during the evening gown, top 5 during talent, and then make final selections during the on-stage question. I’ve found by using this score sheet I become more invested in the show and really start to root for my favorite girls. This year will be extra exciting because Miss Minnesota is a girl that grew up in my hometown area and my sister and mother-in-law are both on her pageant committee; they are in Atlantic City right now to watch her compete!
I hope you enjoy this Miss America printable and you have fun watching the pageant and rooting for your favorite girls. And if your husband refuses to peel his eyes off of the NFL games invite a few girls over. Wine and pageant watching go together perfectly!
