Remember that old 'cast the first stone' meme?

From NBV, Miss Utah gets a second chance to answer 'confusing' question:

When Matt Lauer asked the question, Powell fared better.

“This is not OK,’’ she said. “It needs to be equal pay for equal work. It’s hard enough already to earn a living, and it shouldn’t be harder just because you’re a woman.”

“I was so excited, and I was so nervous, and I got up to this top-five question,’’ she said. “I was the first one. I got up, and the question was a little bit confusing to me, and I just started speaking without really processing.’’

The winner of the Miss USA contest, Miss Connecticut Erin Brady, 25, who was standing right behind Powell, told TODAY she understands the nerve-wracking pressure.

Powell, who was the pageant's third runner-up, said anxiety got the better of her on Sunday night.
