Why she might be annoying:

    One of her hobbies is making clothes from duct tape.
    She wore a wig at the Miss America pageant, which was controversial enough for 'Teresa Scanlan wig' to be runner-up to 'Teresa Scanlan bikini' in post-pageant internet searches.
    She said that as a result of reading criticisms of herself on the internet, 'What I considered a very strong sense of self quickly became an addiction to people pleasing -- to doing what I thought would please the largest number of people.'
    Her marriage to auto dealer John Mocadlo lasted less than a year.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She has an older half-brother who was put up for adoption that she did not learn about until the year she became Miss Nebraska.
    She took a double load of classes to finish high school a year early.
    Concerning the wig issue, she noted that many Miss America contestants wear hair extensions and 'I really don't see the difference.'
    She joined the Air National Guard while attending law school at University of California Berkeley and graduated in the top 10% in basic combat training.
