The reaction was so strong to our first pageant tip from pageant consultant Justin Popovics, we had to bring him back. Watch and learn!

With yesterday's Inauguration, the presidential election is completely past us. Now it's time to look to the next big election, only three days ahead of us. That's when tens of millions will watch the next Miss America chosen on TLC.

There are 52 contestants vying for the title. But millions of future contestants (plus millions who imagine themselves competing) will be watching from home.

That's why we've brought in pageant consultant (and personal trainer) Justin Popovics to advise our nation of would-be beauty queens. Over the next three days he'll be giving his insider tips ... tips for a better pageant performance ... and a better you.

First, how to give the perfect pageant intro. (Instructions after the video.) Now let the Quest begin!



So the structure of your pageant intro is fairly simple. In Mad Lib format:

"From [one part of your state] to [another part of your state], I'm proud to represent the [any nickname or euphemism for your state]. From [your hometown], I'm [your name]."

So my pageant intro would be:

"From the crab-infested waters of the Chesapeake Bay to the gritty streets of Baltimore, I'm proud to represent the redneck state of Maryland. From Bethesda, I'm Mo Rocca!"

Now you give it a shot!!
