• Hmmm, the hard judge huh? were you in Interview??? If you were, you don't have very much integrity and NO integrity is worse than a bad rug! -- HCM, 13:45:11 11/26/08 Wed
  • LMAO... You say Mr.Steven has bad hair, I saw the teen group, now there was some bad hair. -- Dolly Parton, 13:48:54 11/26/08 Wed
  • Integrity not compromised, She states she was a teen contestant -- Please read, 14:01:02 11/26/08 Wed
    • Steven Walters - nice guy C/I - Went through alot, give thanks for what you have and stop being so vindictive -- Pageantry is cruel in LA, 14:05:32 11/26/08 Wed
      • I am a director and would like to give some sound advice, Never Judge a Judge. You NEVER know when they will judge you again. Instead of complaining that the judge is too hard, you might stop and think I was ill prepared for that Interview. Here I am in the 12th grade and only have the vocabulary of a 5th grader. Maybe my diction is poor. hmmm. Instead of being disrespectful and rude about this man, think about how you could Improve yourself. Obviously there were 3 contestants that didn't consider his questions hard, they were the winners. This man was just doing his job, and his hair good or bad isn't the issue here but your attitude is. -- Festival Director, 15:11:21 11/26/08 Wed
• What kind of questions? -- curious, 22:00:34 11/26/08 Wed
  • For me, at first I thought the same thing but after thinking about it I realized that was probably a tactic he had to see if we could handle the pressure. He gave a few factsusing a huge vocabulary range on a topic and then asked the easy question. Pretty clever to me. I really thought I was doomed after hearing the opening facts. -- pageant junkie, 06:30:38 11/27/08 Thu
    • He pretty much dominated the interview in my case, and gave a long statement then would ask a question almost that had nothing to do with what he said. It was like he was trying to impress me instead of me trying to impress them -- A little weided out, 17:35:21 11/27/08 Thu
      • That is an old old judges technique to gave a statement and then as a question that didn't have anything to do with the first statement. You must have read him wrong he is not a person that trys to impress people. -- Known him since he judged me the first time, LOL he was in his 20s, 17:46:51 11/27/08 Thu
      • There are some things that many people don't realize, Mr. Walters didn't dominate in Interviews. He was the head judge. As head judge It was his responsability to greet the contestant, ask them to have a seat, ask the first question, then If It got back around to his turn ask another question and finally when time was called, It was his responsability to tell the contestant that their time is up and before she leaves ask If there is anything that she would like to tell them before she goes. when the contestant finishes speaking, It is once again his responsability to thank her and wish her well in the pageant. -- Old Veteran Judge- Mr Walters is tough be he has been schooled the correct way and does the job of judging the right way., 20:42:02 11/27/08 Thu
        • AMEN! -- Certified Judge, 11:02:40 11/28/08 Fri
          • Clearly, no one is satisfied with any of the judges at prelims. Miss Baton Rouge pageant also has a lot of questionable actions and comments made by judges to contestants! So, is it the judges or the winners that angers you? -- Fat Cat, 05:48:57 12/02/08 Tue
            • Contestants don't want the judges to do their jobs, they want to get everything candy coated, like in festival pageants. What's your favorite color kind of questions. MY GOD, These girls don't realize that they are actually in the running for Miss Universe. do you think they are going to get What;s your favorite color kind of questions? -- Truth, 12:56:32 12/02/08 Tue
              • Ummm, I am not sure when the last time you did a festival pageant but they don't ask those kinds of questions. I think that people were upset that the Head judge, who only if you work for the pageant would you know he was the head judge, had been one of the contestant's directors in the past. That would be like Debbie Greene judging AL or Millie Harris judging Faith Good. So people are upset with the judges who cares, it is over with, if people want to fuss, let them. If they are not ready for state then they are not ready for state. You are not going to make everyone happy, but directors NEED to do their best at not asking judges who are too close to contestants to judge. -- That's all I am saying, 15:05:35 12/02/08 Tue
                • I tell you I did La Honey Bee Festival Pageant and I can tell you that a favorite color question was not asked, I have done it twice and several other festival pageants and I can tell you that La Honeybee was the hardest interview I have ever done. I have even competed in a prelim for USA and nothing compared to honeybee -- contestant, 08:17:08 12/23/08 Tue
