Miss Congeniality
Pageant popularity prize
Miss Congeniality is an award given in beauty pageants to the contestant voted most likable by her peers—a consolation prize for someone who didn't win but made friends.
The term extends to anyone notably friendly or pleasant in a competitive setting, often with gentle irony: She's not exactly Miss Congeniality.
The phrase can suggest someone is agreeable but unremarkable, or sarcastically note someone's lack of warmth.
