Miss South Carolina Teen USA Caite Upton Reflects On Viral Flub

Miss South Carolina Teen USA Caite Upton went viral in 2007 after she flubbed her on-stage interview answer during the Miss Teen USA pageant – and now she’s reuniting with Access Daily’s Mario Lopez (the pageant’s host) to discuss the moment. Caite shares her honest reaction to watching the clip and reveals to Mario what happened. And Mario reveals what he’s wanted to tell her all these years, but never got the chance to.

I think she did a great job here talking to the Mario and people such as.

“None of that was practiced or rehearsed…at all”

Yes we know Katie 😂😂😂😂😂

She had me at conversating I’m sorry I couldn’t continue watching 😂😂

[justsayin]

As much as I wanted to believe (especially for her sake) that the original flub was a one-time mistake, listening to her, NOW, end every single sentence with an upward cadence leads me to believe that that wasn’t an isolated incident.😂

I went to highschool with her and she is actually an amazing artist. I've always felt aweful for her. She was a national joke for years. I don't think people realize what that does to people mentally. If you ever see this, I always admired your artwork in Dr. K's class.

The lights are on and in 14 years no one came home.

[stevest]

14 years later she still speaks like a teenager.

[Milo_Reacher]

"it would look inappropriate for me to reach to a teenage girl"
"I was EIGHTEEEN!!!" 🤣

[Klobbin]

Thought it might have just been nerves causing her brain to go haywire. After watching this I can confirm, it wasn’t just nerves.

[palecompass]

I get anxious hearing her talk even now.

[MrSmackdab]

conversating?? we'll get back to you in another 14 years

[BrvoGrlY]

Bless her heart, she’s just a little slow. Seems like a very sweet girl

[freebird]

“Conversating”, “Accompliments” yes this is a whole new woman

[Matthew-vprh]

Girl went into shock, that’s it. Like she said, she was expecting a question about puppies and sunshine. Bless her Heart

[leemasoen]

I was hoping they would repeat the question and give her a chance to give a coherent response this time.

[magicdinho]

When mario asked where am I speaking to you from she should have responded with “south africa and iraq and such as” 😂😂😂😂

[dawnmiller]

What’s most surprising to me is the fact that she took ZERO responsibility for the flub. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Her and Mario blamed everyone and everything else! I’d have much more respect for her if she was like, “yeah, I was caught off guard, but REALLY screwed up there!”. Geesh

[footofjuniper]

She has embiggened us all with her cromulent response.

[gotham]

She is a perfect example of the phrase : "Ignorance is Bliss".

[Bdiscovered]

I TRULY BELIEVE, THAT SHE...SUCH AS...SEEMS SWEET...AS IN THE IRAQ AND SOUTH AFRICA....SO, GOOD FOR HER...SUCH AS.
