Subject: State finally let Kristina win because her years of ticket sales were to be over that last time, and they could get her ticket sales again when she came back to give up her title the following year if they had her win. That girl was responsible for a large part of the audience for 4 years. Of course the audience went nuts when she won, they were all hers. Was she a great Miss Wisconsin? Yes, I agree that she was. Author: My favorite has been Laura because she won Miss America and put us back on the map.

My favorite has been Kristina Smaby, because she is a true testament that persistence pays off. She competed for four years, and the first three never made it any further than Top 10. It took a lot of courage for her to come back for the fourth time knowing that she might never realize her dream. She has been a tremendous inspiration and role model for so many young girls, and I think that's a big part of what this program is about. And also, in all my years of attending the state pageant, I have never heard such a positive reaction from the crowd then when she was named Miss Wisconsin. It was just such an awesome moment, not only for her, but for everyone in attendance that had followed her journey over the years." on 23:11:57 11/06/14 Thu [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Your theory may be valid if that had been her last year of elligibility -- or if she had stated prior that it would be her last year competing, but Kristina was only 22 when she won. She still had another year to compete if she so chose to. (NT) No name 09:05:45 11/07/14 Fri Bitter party of 1, your table's waiting........................There was no conspiracy theory. The two best girls that year were Kristina Smaby and Sarah Thorne. When Sara was called off as 3rd runner-up, I knew Smaby had won the pageant. Her reaction was priceless and she was a very deserving Miss Wisconsin. (NT) No name 19:34:11 11/08/14 Sat Your opinion is clearly more valid than anyone else's. Congratulations on that.
