Another pageant year down means a fresh set of Q&A flubs. Viewers of Sunday night’s Miss USA pageant aren’t talking about Miss. Connecticut’s big win; instead they are talking about Utah’s Marissa Powell, who wasn’t noted for her beauty and grace, but rather her massive interview fail.
During the top five interview, NeNe Leakes asked the 21-year-old beauty about why she thinks women earn less than men in today’s society, USA Today reports. Powell expressed that the key problem is that Americans need “to create education better.”
Powell, who ended up taking the third runner up spot, began, “I think we can relate this back to education and how we are continuing to try to strive to.” Powell, notably aware that her response was not strong continued that we need to “figure out how to create jobs right now."
"That is the biggest problem, and I think especially the men are seen as the leaders of this, and so we need to try to figure out how to create education better so that we can solve this problem. Thank you," she concludes.
Powell was scoring incredibly well up until the interview part of the evening, The Wrap notes. Now she stands in the same category of famously bad answers alongside Miss South Carolina’s Caitlin Upton.
