Subject: Sorry for some mistakes in posting the pics on Nakia, Lauren, and Tatianna, and also meant to say that I could not find a picture of Heather in SWIMSUIT not gown on the Florida Teen site.

Subject Author Date I know when they pic top 15 and top 5 that they just circle the girls they want... but when it gets to top 5 I'm a little confused, so they just rate the girls 1-5 and each number has a point system..right? -- So if they used a 10 point system for each category a girl could have place a 30, whereas the others might not have, but since they PICK the winner one judge may have a favorite for the crown and be concerned another girl may take the votes of the other judges and place her last so she doesn't win ----- (NT) I see this as a problem - not bashing - Just concerned... 12:40:33 10/19/04 Tue With very savvy judges, this has been known to happen, but hopefully, they ethically and don't take pts from other girls to "lowball" them. 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! (NT) -- interesting, 13:28:00 10/19/04 Tue 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! (NT) -- in the know, 13:40:25 10/19/04 Tue Re: This is very true.

(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
