Miss Congeniality?

According to a story in the British newspapers, Rachel Christie, the reigning Miss England, has relinquished her crown after getting into a fight in a bar in Manchester. Perhaps more surprising was the fact that her opponent in the fight was another beauty queen, Miss Manchester, Sara Beverly Jones.

What I can't understand is why not one, but two, beauty pageant contestants would risk damaging their appearances, even temporarily, in an altercation.

Considering that the fight took place at a bar, I'd have to assume that the combatants' judgment was impaired at least somewhat by alcohol.

Or, perhaps they both realized that England is one of the few countries in the world where someone could have her front teeth knocked out in a fight, and still win the beauty pageant.
