In beauty pageants, the final question segment is undoubtedly the most intense moment for many contestants. This is the round of competition that ultimately detemines their faith, either they make it or break it. The ladies would have to demonstrate their ability to answer a thought provoking final question. It sounds simple but it is easier said than done, expecially when the whole country is watching “live”. A study was carried out to investigate maxims in each contestant’s answer. The significance is that, when we know the patterns of maxims used, we will be able to help those who would like to become beauty queens to answer correctly. The study involved 15 finalists in Miss Teen USA beauty pageant contests from the years of 2005, 2006, and 2007. All video clips were taken from YouTube. The results showed that 78% of the contestants observed the maxims, 20% flouted the maxims and only 2% infringed the maxims. This showed that, in order to win the crown, many contestants had observed all the four maxims related to Paul Grice’s cooperative principle theory.
