With the live premier only hours away, it seems America has already found its sweetheart. Blake Dawkins’s weepy video footage in what appears to be a forest has made her a fan favorite, as thousands of viewers ask: How can this sweet, beautiful girl think she doesn’t belong? But what will tonight bring? Check out this video of Ice Queen Sabrina calling Farm Hand Amy a “manure-shoveling cowgirl.” We predict high drama as the most beautiful young women in America compete for the title of Prettiest.

Will Danny Beaton’s arrest preclude him from judging tonight’s the Pretty App Live beauty pageant on SBC? It appears not. After being taken into police custody at 4:27 a.m. today and being charged with disorderly conduct, public urination, and animal endangerment (a surveillance video shows him peeing on a pigeon near the Mulholland Fountain in Los Angeles), the pop star is rumored to be out on bail. Minutes ago this tweet appeared on his authenticated Twitter account. @DannyBeaton: who’z pumped 4 tonight’s live premiere of The Pretty App Live? Tune in at 9 pm EST to see me and the beauties hit the stage. #PigeonsSuck

We already have a favorite The Pretty App Live contestant here at TeensBlogToo. (That is, if she shows up for the competition!) How can you not love Blake Dawkins? She’s so insecure! Can’t even believe how emotional I got when she started crying and ran away from the other girls. And then her confession in the woods about how she hasn’t always been a good person? I totally know how she feels! We’ve all made mistakes, Blake! Your honesty makes you beautiful. Keep being real, Blake Dawkins, and you’ll get my vote!

Give me a freaking break! Why is America falling for Blake Dawkins’s “poor me” routine? Oh yeah Blake, the rest of us fatties and uglies feel so sorry for you, you gorgeous piece of crap!

I’m so sick of these entitled types whining about their misfortunes. Blake Dawkins is ready for Hollywood with her 2-bit sob story.

Love, Betty
