My guess is some of the tweets were plants by the pageant itself to drum up media buzz. When was the last time Miss America was in the news? A couple decades ago (probably because TV options were so limited), it used to draw large audiences. Part of me thinks this is a cynical ploy to get people taking. (I'm mostly joking, but I wouldn't be surprised if I turned out to be right either.)
