Subject: Re: ONE THING TO REMEMBER HERE IS THAT THE DIRECTOR DOES NOT PICK THE TOP 15 THE JUDGES DO. Author: WRONG!!! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:23:11 10/01/03 Wed In reply to: Heidi 's message, "Re: ONE THING TO REMEMBER HERE IS THAT THE DIRECTOR DOES NOT PICK THE TOP 15 THE JUDGES DO." on 09:58:25 10/01/03 Wed I beg to differ with you.I truly believe the judges are "filled in" to what and who Melissa wants at the top. My daughter was in teen and at the beginning of the personal interview was told to turn her back to the judge and when told to turn around do so and extend your hand for a "hand-shake". My daughter was awe stricken when the old lady REFUSED to shake her hand. That hag gave my daughter a filthy dirty look and ignored her. Then when my daughter sat down to begin the "sacred" interview , she was given such extremely difficult questions. Melissa is very aware of what goes on. Lets not forget that the "interview" part of the pageant is behind closed doors. That is exactly how the directors want it. ACE IN THE HOLE! They can and have always used the INTERVIEW to their benefit. That is the one area that they can manipulate to suit their convieniences and rationalize why a girl did not make it. I for one think ALL the interviews should be taped, so that EVERYONE can view what REALLY goes on. And yes, I must agree with you. The judges stunk! Guess that is what happens when you can't find anyone with any intelligence to judge. You end up scraping the bottom of the barrel. In this case though, the judges were not at the bottom of the barrel, they were the scum crawling underneath the barrel. Judges should be chose by the big guys just under the "Donald", and forget about this friends of the director stuff! Annoyed and Disappointed. Next step is to inform the big guys. It is about time SOMEONE gets their hands slapped for getting them caught in the cookie jar! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date I have been involved with pageants and the interview has always been behind closed doors and that was 13 years ago. I have heard stories where judges want to see how a girl can handle herself under pressure and so some will try in intimidate, not because the DIRECTOR told them to, but because that is thier interviewing style. I think the director will try to explain what type of person makes a good miss usa, but wouldn't say i want a particular girl. I think the judges were just inexperienced and unfortunately did not pick my girl, but that is the way it goes sometimes. I really don't think the pageant was fixed. (NT) jan 18:36:06 10/01/03 Wed
