There seemed to be a lot of buzz about this. I will give Robin and whoever decided this credit. I do think they tried to mix it up and try something different. Or, maybe not. Maybe it was a way to move quickly through the competition and save money. I had concerns about having talent all in one night for the contestants, but especially for judging. I can definitively say that sitting through 51 talents without as much of a 5 minute intermission was difficult. You did feel like it dragged on. What might have excited you if talent was throughout the night like it had been before wasn't just as exciting. For example, there were some really good/entertaining talents at the end including Alabama and Arkansas. If you are dragging on and getting bored or wishing for it to be over, the contestant might not be judged fairly. And that's what I think might have happened last night.

From a viewer with no contestant I am actively involved with, I think it needs to change back. Even if there are only two competition nights it would be better to sit through even 26 and 25 in one long evening versus 51 without a break. I think that scheduling this simultaneously with the teen pageant WITH a big talent competition is what sunk this idea. From what it seems like, it started late last night because they were still trying to finish from the teen competition. I am not against having both competitions at the same time but 100 talents in the span of 5 hours is simply not practical.

And the hostesses-they were the WORST I have ever seen. I will be the first to say that hosting pageants is a skill that likely takes practice and fine tuning over time. If Lindsay was a MAO titleholder she might have had some experience hosting Miss MD at some point. Not everybody knows how to do it. That was painfully obvious last night. They kept ad libbing and making comments about the contestants, they and others could be heard talking on the microphone while contestants were performing. And then it came to a screeching halt when they were confused over Miss NC and Miss KS. It was really, really bad.

Three words for next year: GET DENA QUERBAN.

I cannot imagine you will see this for a second year in a row. This is just one person's opinion, I am sure people in person have their opinions and I certainly know the contestants will.

I am going to watch the fashion show at 7. I am not overly interested but I am paying for it so I might as well take advantage.

Tomorrow I will post my full predictions but I'll be stopping by to answer any questions or give feedback if you would like on any contestant.

[> [> Subject: It looks like there are 6 judges. It would be better with an odd number but it is at least better than 4. I haven't heard of any of the judges except Nancy Brinker, and I had to look her up because while she sounded familiar I really couldn't place her. They didn't actually introduce the judges, although I am certain they were there. Thankfully it moved at a good pace, although they did not get started until 9 p.m. which was 2 hours later than advertised. I am not even sure what to think that we have one set of judges for both, it has never happened before. At least they will be fresh again by Sunday night.
