At tonight’s Miss America pageant, the first contestant up in the Q&A portion of the event was Miss Colorado’s Kelley Johnson who got a question on which woman she would put on the $10 bill.
Easy question, right?
Maybe not. She said “Ellen DeGeneres”:
#MissAmerica Miss Colorado lost when she said Ellen DeGeneres should be on the ten dollar bill.

And this is probably right:
Either way Miss Colorado wins because she will get to be on #EllenDeGeneres #MissAmerica
