>Miss America besides her mom! I am actually looking

>Well done. I feel she is very relatable.
>OK-She is cute. I think she is well-spoken-not the

>“it” factor that I have been hearing about with
>her, but I think she is top 15.
>SC-she is telegenic. I think she speaks well-clear
>and articulate. A lot of MAOspeak, but she does have
>something that makes you notice her.
>SD-So she’s Miss South Dakota (sorry, see my post
>below). Her tone was a bit flat, but I do appreciate
>her own personal story, and I think it is very
>relevant. If you want to make this about relating to
>young women, help them deal with the realities of
>college. I know lot of people who struggled in high
>school with the impending changes and then with the
>adjustment to college, feeling confused, etc. I also
>appreciated her love for her local community.
>TX-I paid close attention to this as many people think
>she is going to win. Based on what we saw working at
>Miss Universe with regards to “beauty” and all of
>that, I wouldn’t be surprised if she won. As far as
>this video, she speaks well, but I don’t see her as
>better or worse than anyone else I’ve heard. She is
>convincing and she believes in what she is saying, but
>she’s also a bit soft-spoken. I get a story, but
>I’m not getting the charisma that would win. But
>again, I think this story could win it for her.
>It’s what MAO is saying, it’s not about beauty.
>UT-A bit shy and reserved, I thought. I like her, but
>like with some of the others, she’s going to have to
>pick it up a little bit if she wants to make the top
>15.
>VT-I liked this. I liked the fact that she didn’t
>spit out talking points and stated the “message”
>in a unique way. She’s very conversational and
>natural.
>WA-she’s very telegenic. A little pageanty, but she
>does seem well-spoken.
>WV-average, a bit sing-song, though I appreciated her
>story about her platform
>WI-I liked that she spoke about her platforms and that
>we got to know her personally. That is what I am
>looking for with these videos, not just repeating
>MAOspeak.

>And I am correct that there are only going to be three

>preliminaries or the finals? I don't know what to say
>here. I don't know if nobody wanted to do this, if
>they waited until the last minute and this is all they
>could do. Or, do they think this is actually a good
>idea? I don't think that there should be any less
>than six judges on a panel. With three judges if you
>get one judge who is not on board with you, you're
>done. And with all of these judging changes, three
>judges should not be shaping everything. I heard back
>in 02 when Erika Harold won that one of the judges
>said they had no idea what they were really voting for
>and ended up voting for her because they thought Miss
>America should be academically oriented. But at least
>they had a full judging panel. This is a disaster
>waiting to happen. I said this last year but I REALLY
>mean it this year-if your favorite does not do well,
>do not take it personally for you or her. How the
>hell does anyone succeed in a system with three
>judges? We got this news 9 days before the pageant is
>to begin, and we still don't know about final night
>judges. I really suspect that nobody wants to take
>this on a week during the holidays.
