The annual Miss America pageant aired tonight and the winner has just been announced. Your 2011 Miss America is Miss Nebraska Teresa Scanlan - but did she deserve it?

Many fans were upset that Miss Delaware Kayla Martell didn’t get a question and make it into the finals and many were upset that Miss Texas Ashley Melnick didn’t make it either (she and Miss Hawaii were my picks from the first round :( so I’m just as disappointed as many of you are)
