8. Lauren Caitlin Upton – THEN
Imagine being known as the girl who helped perpetuate the stereotype that beauty queens are dumb? Unfortunately, that’s how flustered teen Lauren Upton found infamy…

Upton went on for what seemed like a painful forever about “the Iraq,” “South Africa,” and “the Asian countries” and how “some people out there in our nation don’t have map”. It wasn’t pretty.
