People are pointing out a huge flaw with the talent portion of Miss America 2.0 — and it can keep many women from competing

• Miss America rid of its swimsuit competition earlier this year.
• Some think changes should be made to its talent portion of the competition as well since it doesn't seem inclusive to those who may not excel in performing arts. 
• In the past, the talent competition contributed to 35% of a contestant's overall score. It now makes up 50%.
• Miss Nebraska asked Miss Connecticut Sunday evening how she would encourage women without a fine arts background to compete in Miss America. She said others should "think outside the box."

Miss America made a giant revamp to its competition this year by ridding of its swimsuit competition, but some viewers are saying it still has a way to go. 

Noticeably, fans are calling out the competition for its talent competition which doesn't seem inclusive to those who may not excel in singing, dancing, or other performing arts.
