Subject: This is very true. I know for a fact that one of the girls in the top 5 who did not win (not naming names) was told by a judge after the pageant that she had been that judges pick to win. So obviously, there were different girls picked by different judges and then it all balances out!

The other scenario that this system creates, is that the most CONSISTANT girl tends to win. A girl who no one picks as the winner, but everyone has as 1st ru can actually win!" on 13:28:00 10/19/04 Tue [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

(NT) That makes me not like this method of judging, I would rather see them judge 1-10 or 15 for every category, it makes more sense and seems more fair to me 16:04:49 10/19/04 Tue Well, a savvy judge could also do the same thing with that type of judging. They could give the girl they want a high score and the one they want to "lowball" a low one. Doesn't really protect against it. (NT) -- With whatever system, you just have to trust the judges I guess!, 16:23:04 10/19/04 Tue Re: Well, a savvy judge could also do the same thing with that type of judging.

(NT) -- True, but if they are more focused on judging the girls individually I think there is a better chance they will be judged equally, rather than - pick your favorite - can't have it my way I know ;), 00:56:02 10/20/04 Wed
