What happened on Miss California 2008? Was Raquel Beezley really the winner?!


Question: OK, I am confused. I heard something about a counting error. They proclaimed Christina Silva as the winner, but actually Raquel Beezley was the real Miss California. And why did Raquel Beezley go to Miss USA and Christina went to Miss America? Is that the way they normally do it?

In the business of crowning beauty queens, there's one thing you'd think they'd get right: crowning the right beauty queen. Miss California USA organizers say they got that wrong, but corrected themselves Thursday by crowning Miss Barstow, Raquel Beezley, a 21-year-old waitress they said rightfully earned the title.

And they tried to put an end to a kerfuffle that began last month when they crowned Miss Los Angeles, Christina Silva, only to backtrack days later, blaming a vote tabulation error.

Silva hired a lawyer, booked an appearance on "Ellen," and won support from a Los Angeles Times columnist who murmured in print of hanging chads. Silva, 24, lives in L.A.'s Koreatown and is of Ecuadoran and Mexican descent. Was she too ethnic? Too urban? Did judges find some dirty secret in her past at the last minute?
