I don't watch these pointless and ridiculous displays of female pulchritude, but I couldn't resist a glimpse at this years contestants...

For my money, the winner is Cierra Jackson, Miss District of Columbia:

She is quite pretty, but no mad raving beauty IMHO.
A little too skinny for my tastes.
Of course if she had great character, personality and a gentle soul-- then she'd vault into the beauty category..
Which she may have, as I do not know...

Maybe the contest will not be voted on by robots.

The first international beauty contest judged by “machines” was supposed to use objective factors such as facial symmetry and wrinkles to identify the most attractive contestants. After Beauty.AI launched this year, roughly 6,000 people from more than 100 countries submitted photos in the hopes that artificial intelligence, supported by complex algorithms, would determine that their faces most closely resembled “human beauty”.


But when the results came in, the creators were dismayed to see that there was a glaring factor linking the winners: the robots did not like people with dark skin.
