People had been posting on the Guru board yesterday that 3 Miss Americas were to judge, and they are correct. In 2012 when Diana Dreman competed, daughter of Rebecca King Dreman, there were no Miss Americas allowed on the preliminary or final night panel as to not skew the results. Now 3 Miss Americas have the fate of one of their own's daughters in their hands? Truthfully, I am not sure Virginia is going to make the top 10. There were a lot of stronger competitors in talent. No matter even if she does and places, there is going to be a lot valid questions about their ability to judge fairly.
I am not sure what is rumor or what is fact here. I am not sure how true the rumors were that NBC had their own people and pulled out at the last minute. I do not think that is true, because NBC would have at least done some kind of press ahead of time announcing their own hosts. And if it was planned this way ahead of time that the former Miss Americas would judge, even a 10-year-old would have enough sense to say you don't do that in a year where the daughter is competing. I never heard of these judges before this week but you can get SOMEBODY to judge. And I do NOT like a 3 panel judging system. You need at least 5 to get decent results. If this was planned this way the whole time with former Miss Americas judging, then they could have easily asked 5 or more to commit to the process. Miss USA did it for a year or two where they had all former Miss USAs judge. I just really am wary of only 3 judges. Hell, there were some former Miss Americas there this week! They could have dragged them in and not had to pay for airfare or a hotel.
Somewhere in all of this the truth lies. If this was a failure to plan, there is no excuse. None of us really know what the truth is here except those in charge. Just for the record-I do not believe Mrs. Krebs asked to be on Peacock and the network just said yes. If the network is paying for the rights and they insist that your opening number is a fire breathing juggler, then that is what you do. The MAO just didn't say, "Yes, we would rather be on Peacock."
This was serious before all this, and this is even more serious now. I think we have all seen the handwriting on the wall, but this could be the unraveling of the MAO. And it's sad. We are off traditional television. There is nowhere to go from here except pay per view web broadcasts. You may be seeing your last produced telecast. As much as I am frustrated, I am sad.
And this isn't all on changes, etc. This is the culmination of a lot of factors. The day of reckoning has arrived.
