Looking at the clip, she appears to be extremely nervous and uncertain about how to answer the question. It was reported on the E! news that she has a 3.5 grade in high school but clearly, this does not show in her response. The best answer would have been this simple: Americans do not like Geography! Or she should have mentioned that the Education system should place more emphasis on Geography. I cannot fathom why she would say because a lot of people do not have maps!

COLUMBIA, S.C.  -  This time, the question was a little easier for Miss Teen South Carolina.

After being stumped by a Miss Teen USA pageant question on live television Friday night, Lauren Caitlin Upton's confused, mangled response has been drawing a lot of attention.

Yes. I believe it important to give to people like this the exams before hand, let them take them, and then give them the same exam later so they can appear competent.

That was possibly the worst TV moment I've ever witnessed. What a lot of blather! How did she get South Africa and Asia into this question, and how the U.S. should help *them*, when it's "U.S. Americans" who have the problem? Poor thing will never live that down.
