Uh-oh.. looks like we need to get a new Miss Georgia

New Miss Georgia Quits Day After Winning Crown
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529444,00.html?mrp

COLUMBUS, Ga. � A second Miss Georgia has been crowned in two days.

One day after winning the title Saturday night at the annual pageant in Columbus, Gwinnett County school teacher Kristina Higgins relinquished the post, now filled by the runnerup, Emily Cook, a Marietta law student.

Higgins said she stepped down because her responsibilities as a middle school teacher would not leave her time she would need to serve as Miss Georgia.

Cook was informed Sunday that she was the winner after Higgins turned down the prize.

The 22-year-old Cook is a recent graduate of the University of Miami and had been accepted into University of Georgia's Law School.

1. Hey, at least she turned it down for a good reason

instead of having to resign in disgrace as sometimes happens.

4. She probably thought she'd win some "runner-up" spot that came with a dollar amount

and then she actually won:)

10. Nah

She's not all that great looking. Nice shape, though. I bet the teenage boys climb over themselves to sign up for her class and get seats in the front.

9. Good for her!

Guess she didn't expect to win. But know she can say she is a former Miss Georgia.
