Miss New York Nia Franklin could be a winner, but many on Twitter felt that Sunday the revised Miss America contest was not.

President Gretchen Carlson announced in June her intention to drop the swimsuit component of the program. "We are no longer a show, we are a competition, we will no longer judge our candidates on their physical appearance," Carlson told Amy Robach about "Good Morning America" ​​at the time.

On Sunday, we also saw the beginning of the red carpet contest, which represents 20% of the overall score of the candidates. After walking on a red carpet at the evening dresses of their choice, participants shared a short message with viewers, similar to how a celebrity could answer a question on the carpet.

The segment was analyzed on Twitter.

"Red Carpet Contest ??? … I can not ship with this Miss America 2.0 trick", a perplexed user tweeted.

"This" red carpet "format is boring and not stylish at all" shared another.

The segment seemed to annoy another person. "Red Carpet Contest" That's why Miss America will not be a thing in ten years. What's called Gretchen Evening Dress, " she tweeted.

Some people also wanted more Miss USA Cara Mund, who claimed that the management of the organization "silenced me, reduced me, marginalized me and essentially effaced me in my role as Miss America in a subtle way and less subtle in everyday life. "Carlson denied Mund's claims.

"So, we will simply ignore the fact that no one has mentioned or seen the current #MissAmerica" posted.

"You watched Miss America for nearly an hour and a half and you do not see the ACTUAL MISS AMERICA ?!" observed another.

The show as a whole also garnered several critics.

"It's time to move to Miss America 3.0 because 2.0 is a trainwreck," a person tweeted.

"Is it just me or the MissAmerica (sic) contest seems a little off the mark this year?" asked somebody else.

Similarly, another person tweeted: "I never thought I'd ever say it, but I want to turn it off. #MissAmerica is not the same"

"What was so broken about #MissAmerica that all these nonsense had to happen?" request another.

"If you want Miss America to come back as before" directed another user.

"I can not and I will not support the miss america 2.0," another posted.

"You can hate me, but I hate these new changes to #MissAmerica," sharing another criticism.

But not everyone has scorned the show made.

"I do not know why all the sorrow about Miss America 2.0 was needed", a person tweeted in his defense. "Tonight's shows have made me proud to be a woman and confident of being able to someday watch it with my future daughter."
