MISS TEEN SOUTH CAROLINA GETS ANOTHER CHANCE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION LIVE ON THE TODAY SHOW!!!

:bounce::rofl::bounce::woohoo:

Oh and look! someone actually took the time to put her answer in TEXT!!

Upton selected judge Aimee Teegarden, an actress from NBC's "Friday Night Lights," who asked her this question: "Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the United States on a world map. Why do you think this is?"

The South Carolina beauty gave this strange, grammarless response:

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

Lopez told People Magazine he wanted to help Upton, but was instructed not to talk to the contestants while they were answering questions.

"It was a very intense moment. It's live TV. You don't know what the question is until you get up there. And I believe that she misunderstood it. She went down the wrong road and couldn't figure out how to get back to the right one," he said. "I felt really badly for her."

"Tonight Show" host Jay Leno played the clip during his program this evening, and joked, "People in South Carolina filing out now."

Upton will get another chance at answering questions in the morning as she's slated to appear on NBC's "Today Show."
