>The prizes and pageant organization are lacking. I

>Like Mrs. America, Mrs. United States has a pathetic

>Overall, all pageants have decreased in popularity

>is more fun to watch than that nice pageant queen who

>reality shows for proof of this. Even Donald Trump
>cannot get Miss Teen USA televised, so I don't fault

>I think a contestant really needs to question why she

>Many of us work hard in our daily lives and we enjoy

>Regardless of winning or losing, I love the thrill of

>Preparing for any pageant interview makes me appear

>I think each lady needs to first and foremost question

>on what the system wants and have reasonable
>expectations (the sun, moon, and stars are no longer a

>emotionally mature, pageants can be a lot of fun. If

>expectations, she will find that she walks away quite

>Good luck to anyone who chooses to compete. It can be
>a fun and eventful journey if you are ready to embrace
>the experience regardless of the outcome.
