While they waited, Alycia Yount, left, was stunned by her “unfair” question and fell to the ground in frustration, while Katherine Herrell and Megan Hale caught up with last year’s crowned queen, Candi Spencer. Due to the recent death of her grandfather, Samantha Lowry, right, was unable to present her chosen talent (reading an emotional poem dedicated to her grandfather), nor come up with an answer during the speech portion. Lowry was disqualified from recieving any award.

While Yount, who was named the 2005 Missouri Teen, finished first runner-up.
