It's actually quite embarrassing to me how they are treating this whole story. Everyone seems shocked and I can't figure out why? It really just shows how superficial the world is to those who are not what is considered "pretty."

I agree... I think this is a bit staged....maybe she didn't know what was coming, but I think the judges knew. The audience did not however, IMO.
It does say, that certain types of people are "not allowed"....
not allowed to be smart, not allowed to be brilliant and talented.
The media panders to the lowest common denominator as a rule. But, she appears to be a good sport about it all for now.
What her future holds? That is something else.
But I bet she is stunning in church!
It certainly brought tears to my eyes! I wish her the best!
(and her kitties too)
