Showing Original Post only (View all)Move over, Miss South Carolina: Miss USA doesn't know her state's capital! [View all]
http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/usweekly/article/Miss-USA-Nia-Sanchez-Doesn-t-Know-Her-Home-State-5556966.phpWell, this is awkward. Miss Nevada Nia Sanchez, who was crowned Miss USA on June 9, couldn't identify the capital of her home state during an interview with The Todd Show on Monday, June 16.
While participating in a quiz on the radio show, the brunette beauty was asked Nevada's capital. She awkwardly fumbled for words, answering, "Oh, um, ah, oh my gosh." While she was struggling for the answer, the host chimed in to provide Sanchez with the correct response of Carson City.
"Thank you, I was going to say that! I was like, that one DJ host on MTV, back in the day, his name, that's how I always remembered it," Sanchez then said. "Carson Daly, that guy!" she added.

Well, to be fair, it's not one of the easy ones, like Boston or Atlanta.

Eh. She forgot a fact under pressure. She at least had some way to remember it.
