Subject: IS THIS PRETTY MUCH TRUE ABOUT THE FORMAT TOMORROW NIGHT? Author: Owner/Moderator [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:08:34 12/18/19 Wed I saw the post below from someone who spoke to their executive director, thank you for posting that information. It hasn't been officially confirmed, but why would we have any reason to believe otherwise? If so, this is going to be an awful live event. At least with a top 15 let the first group answer a damn question or something. You can move the show along like they did last year, and they don't even have evening gown. Basically, only the top competitors are going to be featured anyway, so we will know who did the best all week. It's only going to be a competition for the top anyway. To put this in perspective, the top 20 Miss Universe contestants got to at least answer one question. And I agreed with what Susie and Shandi said about it's not a fair way to eliminate someone based on one question, but with composite scores in MAO, I don't think 11-15 had a chance, anyway. All we will really know is who the best 15 competitors were and that should give them at least some comfort that they did well. It's going to make for lousy TV. But what happens in the future is all conjecture. For right now, I would say-I do like the Mohegan Sun. It is very big, lots to do, and the area is very nice. I wouldn't mind seeing it back here again in the early fall. Anything past October would not be a good idea. It is less than 2 hours from NYC, but it's still cooler. It's getting damned cold and even supposed to be colder tomorrow. We decided not to go to Providence because it really wasn't great yet AND they were and are predicting snow squalls. We didn't want to deal with that on an Interstate. There is a lot to do when the weather is good. But, they must consider this or lessen the dates for the competition so that people aren't stranded for 2 days with nothing to do. Or at least the ones not staying there. And maybe try and help those who would like to stay there get a good deal. But again, let's just worry about having something next year and then we will deal with it later. I do think the Mohegan Sun was very welcoming and did seem to roll out the red carpet. I am working on the big contestant post and will get it up as soon as I can. We are still "debating" whether or not to go out and when. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: If you can't think of anything much to say about some of the candidates, that's ok. More interested in more depth reporting on those who appear to be in contention to be in the top 15. So remarks on 25 to 35 of the candidates will be just fine. THANKS.
