Going with Yarbrough or Bolton being the last two standing in Miss. In Teenthe clear winner by far is Desiree Dyson.

[> Subject: I agree. Especially with the huge backlash of lack of diversity in the T15 at Teen this year

Author:
Bolton is a possibility. I think Dyson will take teen.

Author: Watching [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:33:48 10/07/16 Fri Dyson's interview dress was amazing. She really stood out in the pictures.

[> [> Subject: Where
Author: Disagree [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:04:52 10/07/16 Fri Where are the pictures would love to see. I'm sorry While she is gorgeous. It's not here year. She is new to this system. I hope I'm wrong. Let's not put race in this let's let the best girl win.

[> [> [> Subject: Color or not Dyson is the clear teen standout. No denying it. Miss is going to be an upset.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Thank you
Author: Thank you [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:58:18 10/07/16 Fri Looked. Havenstrite is gorgeous. There were a couple of top 15 gals in there. I am really disappointed. The headshots of most the girls looked improvingly better.

[> Subject: Most girls win their first year competing in this system! Experience in it means nothing! Dyson wins teen is my prediction!

Isn't the winners normally already picked

Miss is pretty strong with Yarbrough, Hatley, Codona, Bullard, etc. My pick is Yarbrough personally.

Teen Havenstrite, Pistole, Watts, Lewis, Hollingsworth, Guy, Smith-Miller, Gipson (Both of them), Alder, and yes Dyson. However, Dyson did not impress. Also, check her track record. She doesn't have the best reputation from other systems (difficult). I can see her top 5 but not the winner. My pick is Lewis.

[> [> Subject: Saying Dyson is difficult makes me know you have no idea what you are talking about. Is that both her former directors are coming tomorrow to support her? If you're going to act like you know, at least really be in the know.

[> Subject: Annoyed
Author: Liz [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 00:01:15 10/08/16 Sat Why do we have to make this about race? It is not fair to say that black girls are going to win because they're black. The best girl should win and how awful that we live in a place and time where we have to focus so much on race.

[> Subject: Top 5
Author: Usa [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 00:03:17 10/08/16 Sat Who do you guys think top 5 will be?

[> Subject: Race always plays a role in pageants. And its always the African americans crying foul! If they dont win its fixed against them. They expect to win every year based on their skin color! Tennessee hasnt had a black teen in how many years??? I cant recall one at all. So its time! Greenwood is getting the pressure from the naacp so I guarantee you one will be crowned this year! Best black teen is???

[> [> Subject: Ah
Author: Your an idiot [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 03:49:50 10/08/16 Sat Tennessee had a black teen winner in 2007 and 2012. So it has been fairly recent. But if last year proved anything its that Greenwood doesn't care what anyone thinks. Can't say that I'm surprised that race has been made an issue this year.

Author: So who is the idiot? Lol lol lol [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 07:50:37 10/08/16 Sat

[> [> Subject: If you don't remember Tennessee crowning a black teen
Author: Wow [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 11:54:33 10/08/16 Sat Then you clearly haven't been around long. There was a black teen in 2012. And before that Macy Erwin.

[> [> [> Subject: Well Well
Author: Well [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 11:30:20 10/10/16 Mon Boths Blondes and Both short!!!! Finally!!!! The tall is gone the best girls won! After last years crap!!! I'm so glad everything was straightened up!!!

[> Subject: While Bolton and Yarbrough are great choices
Author: Think it through... [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 11:57:00 10/08/16 Sat It would make no sense to send a black girl to nationals with Deshauna holding the national title. They wouldn't have a chance at winning. A brunette would make more sense. Now...in the Teen division it definitely needs to be a black teen.
