Subject: Complete these sentences (using any MUO pageant)
Author: Doot [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21:17:27 10/13/19 Sun 1. I was so happy and excited when ___ won. 2. Everyone seemed to love her, but I never got ___. 3. I wish ___ had gone much farther in that pageant. Here are my answers... 1. Susie Castillo. She seemed like a breath of fresh air to me. After a few years where MUO was trying to figure out what Miss USA should be, Susie's win seemed like the start of a new era. 2. Alyssa Campanella. I love her personality, but even at Miss USA she was so incredibly thin. This is just not a good look in my opinion and not something MUO should be holding up as an ideal of beauty. 3. Kenisha Thom, Trinidad and Tobago at Miss Universe 2006. I think she should have been in the Top 5, and I probably would have picked her as my winner. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It was bad enough her original finals gown was confiscated by MUO and she was blackmailed by them to wear Sherri Hill instead (she still looked stunning) but to see the delegates and the gowns they wore whom eventually advanced into the Top 5 over her was insult to injury. Yendi's powder blue lace and satin 80's frock, Venus's dollarama tin foil dress, Ximena's basic red gown that looked like it was bought at a mall sale, Australia looking like she just rolled out of bed, Ukraine looking like a cougar...that whole pageant was a travesty.

Subject: When Miss USA was first runner-up
Author: Doot [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 22:52:40 09/14/19 Sat Here's a question. In the years when Miss USA was first runner-up at Miss Universe, do you think she should have won? These are my answers... 1953: Myrna Hansen (lost to Christiane Martel, France)... No 1970: Debbie Shelton (lost to Marisol Malaret, Puerto Rico)... YES, YES, YES!!! 1973: Amanda Jones (lost to Margarita Moran, Philippines)... Not sure about this one. Hmmm... 1978: Judi Anderson (lost to Margaret Gardiner, South Africa)... No 1983: Julie Hayek (lost to Lorraine Downes, New Zealand)... Close call, but no 1986: Christy Fitchner (lost to Barbara Palacios, Venezuela)... Yes 1990: Carole Gist (lost to Mona Grudt, Norway)... No 2004: Shandi Finnessey (lost to Jennifer Hawkins, Australia)... Another close call, but yes 2014: Nia Sanchez (lost to Paulina Vega, Colombia)... YES, YES, YES [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Seeing as Amanda Jones was ever the reluctant beauty queen, I'd say no, because I think Margarita Moran was more elegant and probably wanted it a lot more than Amanda. Plus from what we have heard through the years Amanda has all, but forgotten her pageant wins, while Margarita still proudly enjoys being a former Binibining Pilipinas and Miss Universe winner. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 15:54:29 09/15/19 Sun Yes, this is why I was hesitant. I wasn't really wild about either of them (although I liked Amanda's sassy attitude). But it's true that at least Margarita embraced her win. (NT) -- Doot, 11:35:03 09/16/19 Mon I have never bought Amanda Jones' story. Her modeling agent asking her to enter is ridiculous. Most professional models don't do pageants and don't like them. She wasn't forced to enter ILL USA. She could have resigned before USA. After USA, she could have resigned before Universe. She wanted to win all 3. (NT) -- robbinsgh, 02:13:37 09/29/19 Sun That makes a lot of sense. I never really thought about it. On the other hand, she really did disappear from the pageant world (and the world in general) right after she gave up her Miss USA crown, so it seems like she was glad to be done with it. I'd love to know what ever became of her. -- Doot, 20:58:00 09/29/19 Sun I don't know about that, I wasn't born yet, I assumed modeling and pageantry went hand-in-hand in the 60s and 70s and maybe into the early 80s, but then mainstream modeling started to look down on pageants. Please correct me if I am wrong or provide insight. Thank you! (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 18:57:56 10/06/19 Sun 2014 - I didn't want either to be Miss Universe - that crown belonged to Jamaica IMO. The rest are alright. (NT) -- HIM, 19:01:06 09/15/19 Sun Agreed although SPAIN was the most robbed delegate that night IMO. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 23:54:44 10/14/19 Mon From the years I've watched (1968-now): 1970-Yes. 1973-No; agreed w/ Philippines win. 1978-Yes. 1983-No; my top 2 were Switzerland and New Zealand. 1986-No; my top 2 were Venezuela and Brazil. 1990-Yes. 2004-No; my top 2 were Australia and Paraguay. 2014-No; my top 2 were Jamaica and Spain. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 20:10:02 09/15/19 Sun Wow. It's my first time being able to login in a while. 1990 - USA should have won. Even now, 29 years later, I don't get Mona Grudt. Note, I do like her. It's just that for me, her win was too dominating. She took first in every portion of the competition. She wasn't a dark horse like Susmita. It was as if Mona was Oxana F. or Angela V., and she simply was not. (NT) -- SeminoleNation, 21:33:22 09/16/19 Mon 1970 - Yes, 1973 - No, 1978 - No, 1983 - This one is tough, but no, 1986 - Yes, 1990 - Yes (although I grew to like Mona more in time), 2004 - I really like Shandi but no. I loved Jennifer being Miss Universe. 2014 - Yes (NT) -- PF-Indy, 15:47:18 09/17/19 Tue Lovee Shandi, but Jennifer is a superstar, so I think the right girl won. (NT) -- HCF, 07:05:42 10/06/19 Sun http://www.oocities.org/televisioncity/9699/reluctant.html (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 18:59:16 10/06/19 Sun 1953: No. 1970: HELL YEAH! 1973: Didn't care for either. 1978: No. 1983: Close but no. 1986: Close but no. 1990: HELL YEAH! I agree 100% with Seminolenation's comments about Mona. 2004: Close but no. 2014: I had already turned off my TV by the time the Top 2 were holding hands. SPAIN/JAMAICA should've won. -- MU_Critic, 00:20:56 10/15/19 Tue

Subject: What would you ask?
Author: perky [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 16:18:37 10/02/19 Wed We moved to a retirement community last year in the Palm Springs area. Among the neighbors we met was a really nice couple, Don and Shirley Sherwood. We talk to them when we see them around the neighborhood because we share some interests. I learned later they moved here from Idaho. Then I had another neighbor over recently and we mentioned how we like beauty pageants and she mentioned she was told that the daughter of Don and Shirley was both Miss Teen USA and Miss USA and is the only woman to hold both titles. They can't wait for us to meet Brandi. So what would you ask Brandi Sherwood's parents if you had the chance? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

"What did Brandi do in preparation during the years between Miss Teen USA and Miss USA?" That is a pretty general question, and it can be answered many ways, but one reason I ask this is because Brandi completely changed her face. I would say she probably made the biggest transformation I can think of from Teen to Miss. Just for the record: I don't have any problem with that; people are free to do whatever they want with their own bodies. But the change from Teen to Miss is so striking in her case that it feels like the obvious elephant in the room. -- Doot, 21:43:25 10/02/19 Wed I agree! And even since Miss USA, she�s still changed a little, and not just from aging gracefully. Don�t get me wrong; last time I saw candids of her, she still looked incredible; fillers & injections looked quite evident, however, she still looked good. (NT) -- Groove, 22:32:22 10/07/19 Mon Who were the nice girls & who were the b�s. Sorry. I�m sick of the candy-coated responses we�ve heard from formers. There�ve gotta be a few rotten apples in the bunch over the last few decades LOL. I just don�t wanna hear that everything was perfect & amazing. How about the truth ;) (NT) -- Groove, 22:27:56 10/07/19 Mon We could use another Heather Soriano :-) (NT) -- HIM, 10:20:35 10/14/19 Mon Haha if only!

Subject: Rumor - IMG to sell Miss Universe
Author: WilliamNYC [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:46:32 10/07/19 Mon From Pageantry Plus on Facebook , IMG WOULD BE IN CONVERSATIONS TO SELL HIS MISS UNIVERSO ACTIONS! This is a rumor that came from a few months ago but today it took more force than ever and several Miss�logas pages of the USA and a source very close to the Miss Universe organization confirmed to me that a last minute meeting was held today between Paula Shugart and the legal representative of IMG. The withdrawal of several brands, the little interest of other brands by the Miss Universe and the various criticisms from the fans would have caused a financial crisis with no return to IMG (In their actions of Miss Universe) which was reflected with the Current Miss Universe which is already being targeted as the Miss Universe with fewer activities and trips in history. With the departure of IMG for legal issues, the Philippine shareholder �Luis Chavit� would also be seen outside Miss Universe. That is why it seems that they would have already shown willingness to sell their share and would have already been interested in buying the shares of Miss Universe. Everything seems to indicate that the Miss Universe organization to �Clean� its image would not be willing to sell its shares to any company that is not from the USA and whose owners are also from the United States. The source confirms that "They are worried, they feel that most of the fans lost confidence in them and having the support of only one country does not assure them of the success they seek."

They were obviously pissed. Towards the end, you see that contestant saying �it�s ok!�, as in it�s no big deal she didn�t advance.

One of my favorite teens to ever compete, Kimberly Layne, is back! Im completely overjoyed. Many of us still can�t believe she failed to miss the cut, due to the fact she was our Mock Miss Teen USA that year. (NT) -- Groove, 09:52:26 09/30/19 Mon Quality over quantity here.

Here we go...

France
USA
India
Indonesia
Thailand
Philippines
South Africa
Brazil
Colombia
Canada
Australia
Venezuela
Puerto Rico
Mexico
British Virgin Islands

Wait! This is the same Top 15 I predict every year! And I usually do pretty well. Okay, British Virgin Islands is sort of a placeholder. It may actually turn out to be Haiti, Jamaica, Cura�ao, etc.

There is not much suspense at Miss Universe anymore. I'd love to see a few surprises and some countries that have never placed before, but these days it tends to be the usual suspects every year.

I have never been a fan of the Mikimoto crown. It just doesn't seem to sit gracefully on the head.

Subject: Question
Author: Doot [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21:02:52 08/24/19 Sat I have noticed an interesting phenomenon in the IMG era. In the last 4 years, Miss USA has become less predictable and Miss Universe has become more predictable. At Miss USA 2016, I don't think anyone predicted a win for Deshauna. In 2017, there may have been a couple of nods for Kara, but I don't think too many people expected a repeat for DC. In 2018, Sarah was on a lot of Top 15 lists, but did anyone expect her to win? And this past year, I don't recall anyone predicting a win for NC. On the other hand, I would say that the last four Miss Universe winners have all been the favorites (or very close to it): Pia, Iris, Demi-Leigh, Catriona. I predicted all four of those wins, as did many others. So what is going on? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
Replies:
Definitely agree that Pia, Demi-Leigh and Catriona were pretty predictable winners; I think Iris was favored to do well and maybe be a European breakthrough to place, but I don't think many saw her winning. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 16:42:42 08/26/19 Mon Yeah, I don't know what to think about USA, it's super unpredictable especially picking a top 16/15/12. Honestly I saw Deshauna & Kara placing; I had hopes for Sarah Rose possibly placing and I wasn't sure on Cheslie placing, but what do I know, they all WON. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 16:46:31 08/26/19 Mon I was not surprised to see Kara, Sarah, and Cheslie, make the Top 15/16, but their wins were all surprising to me. I just hope Miss USA is not going to become like Miss America, which takes itself way too seriously. I think pageants need to be fun!

In a time where you can possibly compete 2x per season my head went to the idea that if Gina still had ties to Iowa she should try to see if she qualifies there and compete...she was top 5 2x in Iowa USA (last in 2014). If not Gina certainly had a great run making Top 5 in all 8 state pageants she's competed in.

Subject: Talks in progress to bring Miss Universe pageant to Israel
Author: HIM [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:27:59 09/01/19 Sun According to sources familiar with the discussions, representatives of the Miss Universe Organization, which holds the rights over the competition, have met with Israeli producers in New York and even secretly visited Israel. "The goal is to host the event as early as this year, but at the same time we are looking into the option of holding the 2020 pageant here," one source familiar with the discussions tells Israel Hayom. Following the success of this year's Eurovision song contest in Tel Aviv and the positive reviews it received abroad, it appears the Israeli appetite for more glitz and glam has grown. Israel Hayom has learned that in recent months multiple talks have been held in an effort to bring the Miss Universe pageant to the Holy Land. According to sources familiar with the discussions, representatives of the Miss Universe Organization, which holds the rights over the competition, met with Israeli producers in New York and even secretly visited Israel. Both sides have expressed a willingness to move forward with the idea, but more than a few obstacles exist, including the upcoming general election in Israel, which hampers communication with the relevant government ministries, and budgetary concerns. Unlike the Eurovision, where participants hailed from 41 European countries with normal diplomatic relations with Israel, over 100 countries take part in the Miss Universe contest, including some Arab countries who are in conflict with Israel. Their delegations' entry into Israel, if they would even wish to come, would require the approval of special visas and the involvement of security agencies. "The goal � is to host the event as early as this year, but at the same time we are looking into the option of holding the 2020 event here," said one familiar source. "And then, maybe, even though it's a clich�, world peace can come of it," he added. Miss Universe is the most widely viewed beauty pageant in the world. The competition was established in 1926, consists of beauty queens from across the globe and always makes headlines. If the talks come to fruition, Israel would benefit from a wave of positive publicity. To compare, this year's Eurovision in Israel garnered some 200 million viewers, while almost 600 million people across the globe watched Miss Universe. Unlike Eurovision, which is always hosted by the previous year's winning country, Miss Universe is hosted randomly and independent of the results. Israel's representative for this year's pageant is Sella Sharlin, 22, from Tel Yitzhak. The event will take place in December, and with a great deal of effort, it could be held here in Israel. https://www.israelhayom.com � Entertainment [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Are people upset about the new rules or that Utah is getting too many from other states? (NT) -- stage_right, 15:17:22 01/22/19 Tue I heard that contestants are state hopping without having any residence or school connections. Has anyone else heard about this? (NT) -- KrownKrazy, 16:24:54 01/22/19 Tue It wouldn't shock me. That is inevitable because people have connections in many states, it is easy with todays technology to make something appear other than what it is. -- stage_right, 19:20:29 01/22/19 Tue The Utah USA roster has been posted for a while. As far as I can tell, there haven't been any last minute additions. I don't think there are any former California USA contestants on the Utah USA roster. Athenna Crosby was California Teen USA 2016 but according to her Instagram she is a student at Utah Valley University. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 20:24:03 01/22/19 Tue I was always under the impression that Britt Boyse is very by the book. This doesn�t sound like something she would encourage?? (NT) -- eloise, 20:22:19 01/22/19 Tue Britt Boyse is no longer in charge of Utah USA. As of this year (2019 state season), Utah is directed by Shanna Moakler. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 20:25:11 01/22/19 Tue Oh wow okay. Had no idea. What happened to Britt? And knowing (and loving) Shanna, why is there a surprise that there would be state hoppers appearing in Utah? Also, makes sense now that the responses above are referencing Cali lol. (NT) -- eloise, 20:46:12 01/22/19 Tue Ok wait another minute pls. When did Shanna take over Cali? Am I mistaking it for Nevada? For some reason, I think I know Shanna has Cali. Or I can just stfu now lol (NT) -- eloise, 20:51:04 01/22/19 Tue Shanna Moakler was part of the California USA team from 2009 to 2011, then left there to take over Nevada USA in 2012. As of now, Shanna is in charge of Nevada and Utah. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 20:59:31 01/22/19 Tue Ahh thank you! That�s precisely what I knew. So, who has Cali? The Chrissleys? (NT) -- eloise, 21:03:43 01/22/19 Tue Yep, team Chrisley are now directors for Florida (since 2018) and California state as of 2019. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 21:49:10 01/22/19 Tue Thanks!! When I mentioned Cali, i was actually thinking FLA, but since they just happen to be now both under Chrissley, I am less confused. Lol NOW I will shut up (NT) -- eloise, 22:16:07 01/22/19 Tue I read a recent interview given by reigning UT USA, Narine Ishhanov and it looks like the changing of directors happened shortly after Narine was crowned and Narine made it seem like she had to prepare pretty much on her own for nationals. I also just learned while browsing some state websites that Delaware has new directors as well, it is no longer with Provost and Miller of D&D Investments (MD, RI, NJ and NY state directors). (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 21:54:05 01/22/19 Tue I still need to know what happened to Britt. I always liked Utah (NT) -- eloise, 22:17:00 01/22/19 Tue I know, right?! Hopefully no drama, maybe Britt just wanted to direct only 1 state (AZ). Britt took over AZ in 2006 after major drama with the previous director. I don't remember when she took over UT, but she certainly directed some great UT winners. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 23:15:39 01/22/19 Tue Miss Utah USA 2019 is gorgeous Amanda Giroux and Miss Utah Teen USA is Kaylyn Slevin! Two blondes. Amanda is from Ohio though and Kaylyn from California but that's the way it goes nowadays. (NT) -- gAgA_x, 05:07:30 01/27/19 Sun For sure, both very beautiful young ladies with great possibility for nationals, but I'm weary of the reactions by others potentially. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 09:29:50 01/27/19 Sun Miss Utah USA 2019 Top 3 were all from other states: Amanda Giroux from Ohio who was a semifinalist at Miss Ohio USA 2017 and is a 2018 graduate of Ohio University, Kate Pekuri was Miss Idaho Teen USA 2016 but she is a student at University of Utah as per her Instagram, Libby Hill was a semifinalist at Miss Texas USA 2019 which was held in September. Nothing in the Instagrams of Amanda and Libby connect them to Utah. Kaylin Slevin was 1st RU at California Teen USA 2018 and semifinalist at California Teen USA 2017; she has an acting/modelling career going so I'm not sure of her connection to Utah. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 14:35:11 01/27/19 Sun In my opinion MUO should make it a requirement that you MUST reside for a lengthy amount of time or go to school in the state you win in. How can you really represent a state if you cannot make appearances in that state? I think this is going to open up a huge can of worms for MUO. (NT) -- KrownKrazy, 09:00:21 01/29/19 Tue What I think it does is rewards a state title based on money or personal ties. Most girls who compete in MUO don't have unlimited resources to compete over and over again. There have been certain states in the past that were called out on bringing in contestants from other states and creating paper trails. In my opinion, while this might be the new rule, it validates the bad behavior from the past. It turns MUO into a more expensive mail in pageant system. Nobody will take a pageant seriously that a contestant can buy a title in. (NT) -- stage_right, 12:45:35 01/29/19 Tue So doesn't that make a titleholder a sort of "liar"? What kind of example is this to other girls, contestants, women? I thought IMG was about empowerment? How does cheating at a pageant empower a woman?

So apparently the Miss America Pageant is being held December 19th in Uncasville, CT. Something I've always dreamed of. Spending a few days in Uncasville. Anyway, many are saying this is the same date that Miss Universe will be held. Now I know this was mentioned a while back.....actually a long while back that Miss U would be on Dec.19th. I think that they will change it. Just waiting for the official announcement from NYC.

We have two new representatives for Miss Universe crowned this weekend! I wish I can post photos but I think these two winners will do very well at Universe.

Albania crowned an INCREDIBLY stunning blonde to represent its nation!! I think she is the most stunning Miss Albania Universe ever crowned and will do very well. If she receives excellent training and interview skills, she might be the first ever Albanian to win Miss Universe!

Pageant crazy nation Philippines also crowned its representatives to Miss Universe, Miss International, etc. Most of the favorites received a crown and two of them were my picks to win the top titles. I think the Universe rep. is decent and will likely place but will not win back to back. I like International�s rep. more but they probably decided to send her to Japan because they know it will be an uphill battle at Universe and her chances of winning International is higher. Smart move by the judges.

Nope, the strong states got left out last night! TN was stiff in presentation so had her out after prelims. Didn�t really think CA and NJ would make it but a lot of people had NJ in and CA is a strong sash so placed both in my list. And all of them didn�t make it lol. Most shocked Texas didn�t. Another robbery last night. The last time I believe CA and TX missed the cut together was in 2000! And I don�t recall the last time CA, TX, and TN missed the cut! Must have been a long time ago (or maybe first ever time!) (NT) -- Samuel, 21:04:27 05/03/19 Fri Something odd I noticed was that no state from the last group in prelims made the top 15.

Author: eloise [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21:01:44 05/03/19 Fri Why did Pennsylvania look so familiar? What was the average height for Miss? A few of them (a lot actually) seemed kinda short and stubby. Was it the stage? Is super flat hair back? The last time I saw that many flat parted-in-the-middle long hair was in Uni 2003. I thought it was going to be between NM and MD. Was anyone shocked MD didnt advance? Is Shanna still directing NV? Her gown was so dated and I couldnt imagine Shanna approving that as the final gown. Which directorship was the most successful? Lastly, am I the only one stanning for the new Miss Teen? I adore her. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Not shocked ND didn�t make it. She came after NM who wore a yellow gown and it made her yellow gown pale in comparison. I�m more shocked that stunning FL and KS were left out for.. NC, Nevada, and OK. NC had decent presence but Nevada had no sparkle. OK�s gown wore her, it made her look very stumpy and short. No idea why she and NV advanced. Head scratcher for the viewers and for the girls themselves. As for the teen.. I honestly have no feelings. Don�t really care for the Afro because we have seen it SO MANY times recently - DC 2016/2017, Brazil 2017, Jamaica 2017......... facially, I thought there were better looking teens this year. I did like her final answer though, I give her that. (NT) -- Samuel, 21:17:35 05/03/19 Fri Omg heartbroken about FLA, though I must admit even I felt something was not clicking. (NT) -- eloise, 21:26:23 05/03/19 Fri It was her makeup. She has beautiful eyes but her mascara (or makeup) made her look tired... she looked much more stunning in preliminaries. And probably IMG was afraid that they�ll be criticized again for having a back to back blonde win! That may Be why they purposely left FL out. But OK? Really? That gown did no favors for her. And NV.. she had no presence and sparkle. FL and KS were robbed as well. (NT) -- Samuel, 22:00:10 05/03/19 Fri It has become a story and interview pageant. No longer a beauty pageant. They are headed in the wrong direction that MAO has taken. (NT) -- g-hr_tt3, 22:10:17 05/03/19 Fri Of course they are headed in the wrong direction!! That is why Miss America is failing! That is why Miss America is losing its ratings and interest! If they really think the average viewer will tune in and care about what the contestants do, then they�ll wrong. Quite honestly, do I care about what the ladies do? Of course it�s important and their achievements should be mentioned, but at the end of the day, the competition should NOT be an interview or story pageant. It should be about beauty. They�re not running for political office! What they do on a personal level and what organizations they work with will probably be IRRELEVANT for the average viewer/Pageant fan. Whatever occupation or how well they speak will not matter because it doesn�t affect the average viewer. (NT) -- Samuel, 23:17:13 05/03/19 Fri At the end of the day, this is a beauty pageant and a VARIETY show. People tune in for entertainment purposes. They want to watch Miss USA/Miss Universe to see beautiful women. I don�t think so heavy emphasis should be placed on what they do because 10/20 years down the line, people will FORGOT her personal achievements. They will fondly remember her facial beauty and her placement at Miss Universe. That is what matters IMG/ MUO!! Wake up and stop trying to change a Pageant which is what�s it�s known for!! You�re not making it more relevant, you�re just alienating the core pageant community that is supporting this pageant!!!!! Go and ask any typical American on the street. They won�t care or don�t know who Miss USA is!! Your target audience and supporters are NOT them!! It�s the pageant fans and the pageant community that wants PHYSICAL BEAUTY.

Subject: History Was Made This Year
Author: Basketball_Fan [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 23:41:47 05/02/19 Thu 2019 saw the first Black-to-Black crowning at Miss Teen USA. 2019 is also the first year where both winners of Miss USA and Miss Teen USA are Black. I'm aware that the reigns of Ashley Coleman and Lynette Cole overlapped, and the reigns of Marissa Whitley and Shauntay Hinton overlapped, but Ashley and Lynette won in different years as did Marissa and Shauntay. I'm also aware that Logan West and Nana Meriwether were Miss Teen USA 2012 and Miss USA 2012 respectively, but Nana inherited Miss USA 2012. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Affirmative action to it�s fullest. Talk about diversity, what a joke and slap in the face!! Hypocrisy! An all female panel is not working because it only brings WTF results. I seriously wonder if the winner was preselected before because the results are such a joke. MUO and IMG, please go and read your social media comments, a lot of fans are disappointed and outraged!! I am very disappointed and outraged right now. (NT) -- Samuel, 23:55:16 05/02/19 Thu I agree! This is what you get with an all-female panel. No Miss California and Texas in Top 15. A complete joke! Worst Miss USA Pageant in history, and honey I've seen them all since 1966. (NT) -- pageantpearl, 01:22:09 05/03/19 Fri I don�t think I�ll say this but I miss the days when Trump was owned the pageant. Although we had WTF semi finalists, the Pageant was truly a beauty pageant back then. Nowadays, it�s just a crapshoot. So many beauties left behind this year to make room for her. An all female panel and the nerve of them to say �diversity.� I honestly feel that they purposely chose an all female panel chose to choose an unattractive, facially weak winner! (NT) -- Samuel, 13:20:24 05/03/19 Fri She looks like the twin sister of DC 2016, 2017. And that�s what you call diversity?! The nerve of them! Hypocrisy! (NT) -- Samuel, 13:22:27 05/03/19 Fri North Carolina now shares the 2019 titles of Miss America and Miss USA. That said, my home state was purely robbed. I see no chance at Universe with Miss USA 2019 winning. If she makes the cut, it's due to sash. Alejandra SCREAMED Miss Universe potential. Sigh. (NT) -- HIM, 19:33:14 05/03/19 Fri Still heartbroken for the results. Yesterday will go down in Pageant history as one of the biggest pageant robberies of all times!! NM�s yellow gown reminds me of the stunning Debbie Shelton who lost to Puerto Rico in Miss Universe 1970! Robbery! (NT) -- Samuel, 20:54:44 05/03/19 Fri And so agree (along with the pageant community) that Allie would�ve been Miss Universe!! We lost a potential Miss Universe just to make room for her... disgusted..... seems like this will be the fourth year in a row that USA will not make top 5 at Universe! (NT) -- Samuel, 20:56:09 05/03/19 Fri The trio of black girls who won the majour titles made the news as historic. I�m proud of that, whatever affirmative action you guys thought was in play. (NT) -- eloise, 21:05:13 05/03/19 Fri This isn�t a problem of race. A trio of Latinas or whites or Asians could�ve won the pageant. It�s a question of merit. Look at what IMG is doing. They have crowned curly hair dark skin contestants on many occasions now. DC 2016, 2017, NC 2019, Kansas Teen 2018, and CT 2019. Is this really diversity? Or are they afraid that they�ll be criticized for an all blonde teen top 5 and hence manipulate the results? It�s like we�ll crowning the same girl over and over when there were other well deserving girls left out. It seems like affirmative action to me because they are purposely avoiding criticism by including a particularly skin group in the semis/top. (NT) -- Samuel, 21:11:52 05/03/19 Fri Call me an outlier because I think finalists, and most winners in the 80�s and 90�s before the �age of diversity� were not as attractive as the winners we have now yet most pageant fans rave about them non-stop. (NT) -- eloise, 21:23:36 05/03/19 Fri 70s, 80s, and a few in the 90s were the most beautiful. Most since 2000 to 2019 have been wth?. Since 2010 it has been MAO. A story and interview has overtaken beauty. (NT) -- g-hr_tt3, 22:02:43 05/03/19 Fri Really? Wow.. looking back at the 80s-90s period, we crowned a lot more attractive winners than the IMG era! Just DC 2016 alone falls at the bottom of the list! Even Terri and Mai were more beautiful... and Michelle Royer. I thought we crowned many stunning winners during this era - Julie 1983, Christy 1986, Courtney 1988, Gretchen 1989, Carole 1990 (more stunning than the dark skinned winners recently), Kenya also had beautiful eyes. The somewhat not as attractive winners may Be Kelli 1991, Lu 1994, NY 1999. But I still think they are more facially stronger than Deshauna.. and NC 2019.. (NT) -- Samuel, 22:07:11 05/03/19 Fri Lmao guys, like I said I�m the outlier. This is going to be ragingly unpopular but imo, if you put Brook Lee without the personality on today�s stage, she prob wont even make state. hides (NT) -- eloise, 22:11:58 05/03/19 Fri* Loll Anybody want to kill me yet?? (NT) -- eloise, 22:16:04 05/03/19 Fri Ps, I do absolutely love the 70�s girls. That era is da bomb in terms of face. (NT) -- eloise, 22:18:35 05/03/19 Fri

Subject: Final Question
Author: IanSebastin [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21:46:23 05/02/19 Thu New Mexico is ready for the Universe stage. She may not have answered her final question as convincing as North Carolina but she is Miss USA and Universe material. North Carolina did good in the question round but she is not Miss USA material. I just do not see it with her. Oklahoma is very pretty but I am noticing that she is kind of stiff. She needs to relax more. I would give New Mexico the crown. Oklahoma - 1st N. Carolina - 2nd This is Miss USA night. Where is everyone on this board? Has the board really tanked that much over the last few years? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I thought she answered good but I would�ve still given the crown to NM because she is just more beautiful. North Carolina has no Universe appeal and will do NOTHING at Miss Universe. I am very disappointed in you IMG! And what were the judges eating?? So many beauty titleholders in the judging panel and they chose such a lackluster group of semifinalists. It seems like they purposely want to ruin USA�s chances at Universe. NM and FL would�ve won Miss Universe and they chose NC.... I am so disappointed. (NT) -- Samuel, 22:13:47 05/02/19 Thu New Mexico had the total package. Nothing against North Carolina she did answer well, but so did New Mexico. I am so confused. I have never been this baffled and disappointed after a result. (NT) -- PF-Indy, 22:17:32 05/02/19 Thu I don�t understand why NC was chosen over NM. Facially she is not as stunning. Catwalk she was so stiff. I don�t understand why IMG keeps on going for the same look - curly hair and black skin. Is this really diversity??? It seems like affirmative action to me! If you have no heart to make this Pageant grow and go by the slogan, �confidently beautiful,� then please don�t. Stop this Pageant then! You�ll turning it into Miss America!!

Nevada who should not be in the top five kind of lost her composure for a bit. I think the top three will be New Mexico, North Carolina and Oklahoma. I am rooting for New Mexico to take the crown.

Faces of the pageant belong to California and Minnesota. Florida, New Mexico, and West Virginia are also stunning. I did feel Minnesota's face is so stunning but her leopard print gown was hideous. Florida looked like she was wearing a swimsuit with some glamour. A bad look in my opinion. New Mexico is very lovely, and West Virginia is quite exotic. I also liked Texas, but her red gown was quite average.

Who knows what this all female, sexist panel will choose. Hey, men like pageants too!!!! The Miss Universe Organization better remove the pole out of their butt, because these all-female panels are just wrong just as an all-male judging panel would be wrong. Be smarter MUO!

Subject: RENO WAS AN INTERESTING CHOICE
Author: pageantpearl [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:00:12 04/19/19 Fri I'm all for finding locals that pageant fans, and families of contestants find glamourous and exciting. Reno, Nevada is not it! I live in Northern California. I know Reno like the back of my hand. My family has been going there for decades. They like the small town atmosphere and the nice little casino's. For those who have never been there, it is night and day when compared to Las Vegas. It is NOT an international or even national destination. It's not a pretty city....not even if you close one eye. It's an old looking city, with sub par casinos with very few exception. I think the reason Reno was selected was 1 reason and 1 reason alone. They could pony up the cash and rooms. I can't imagine where they might take the contestants. There really aren't any landmarks there. I hope they have nice accommodations, good food, and a nice experience but Reno will not be providing much in the way of extras. Just my take, but like I said I know Reno. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I live in NorCal too, and I know what you mean. Reno is a city that looks like it is past its prime. Maybe they (Reno) hope that hosting the pageant will give them a bit of a boost.

I like this list, and we have a lot of overlap! One thing I am noticing though is that quite a few of the contestants this year have very obviously had facial work. I don't object to that at all, as long it looks reasonably natural. But with a bunch of the contestants this year I immediately see something "artificial" and it is all I can see thereafter. I'm wondering what others think. As I said, I think plastic surgery or other tweaks are fine, but sometimes it stands out like a giant pink bow on an evening gown and it is all you see. -- Doot, 12:44:08 04/10/19 Wed Good list!

Hi folks!

You can see short videos of the contestants on YouTube. This link should give you a playlist of all the videos:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYZkbPl0ig_XRulstYA3XK95Yuq12q_y6

[If the link doesn't work or is too weird, search on YouTube for "get to know miss usa 2019"]

I think my Top 5 are: MN, PA, UT, NM, OK

Honorable mentions: FL, NC, MD, SC, TX, MA

Biggest surprise: NH. Wow, she looks great here. Let's see if she has the resume and the body to match. I'd love to see NH make the cut for a change.

Contestants who I didn't love in the videos but who could do well with the right styling: IA, ME, CA

What are your reactions?

Author: HIM [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:47:42 04/03/19 Wed Why plans to bring the Miss USA pageant to Honolulu may have failed HONOLULU (KHON2) - The Miss USA pageant organizers had planned on holding the competition on Oahu this year, but instead the pageant is heading to Reno, Nevada. It's been 20 years since a major pageant took place in Hawaii. Back in 1998, Miss Universe was held at the Stan Sheriff Center. It was estimated to generate more than $9 million dollars for Hawaii's economy. Alicia Michioka, executive director for the Miss Hawaii USA pageant thinks the same thing could have happened if the Miss USA pageant was held here. "It's exposure to our state around the world, not just nationally but globally," said Michioka. "It also puts the state of Hawaii on the map in terms of the huge fan base of pageant followers worldwide." In a statement, the Hawaii Tourism Authority said: "We recently received a proposal to bring the Miss USA event to Honolulu this May. After a thorough review, we advised the organization that HTA would not be able to provide the funding being requested this year.

IMO, Miss MA has an impressive resume, Harvard, plus an MBA again from Harvard. We know that last year's Miss Teen USA is now at Princeton. So any Ivy league education bodes well for any Miss USA contestant. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

You may be right. But I felt that last year's Miss USA pageant moved away from stories and accomplishments a bit and back towards beauty. I hope it stays that way. If we want a pageant that takes itself so seriously, there is Miss America, but I want Miss USA to be fun. I think rewarding the Harvard MBA sends the wrong message. There are way more women out there working as, say, kindergarten teachers, who are directly affecting the lives of children every day. In any case, it will be interesting to see what MUO is looking for this year! -- Doot, 09:32:52 04/02/19 Tue Ma. is who I think is going to win, but me personally I like Georgia or New Jersey for the win.

I would love to see a winner that actually appears to be a teen and not a teen trying to look 30. Someone relatable and more natural looking. If they are trying to empower and send messages, they need to stop glorifying retouching and overdone makeup. Just my 2 cents. (NT) -- stage_right, 17:23:39 04/01/19 Mon Sorry, totally disagree with you on this one. All of the teens look great and it is going to be a very tough competition, and if you look on Virginia Teen's social media, her photos are super-edited. Even her official headshot has her nose over-edited. I do not see any teen trying to look 30 on the Miss Universe website. If you are referring to Miss Nevada Teen, she is a contender with or without make-up. (NT) -- KrownKrazy, 12:33:44 04/02/19 Tue Actually, too many of them look much older than they should. Nevada wasn't one of the ones I had in mind to be honest. Not sure why you brought her up. These girls are under 21 and have perfect skin, there is no reason to have some of the extreme retouching they have in their photos. You can't send a message that Miss Teen USA is confidently beautiful, then send another message that you need a bunch of makeup and retouching to look beautiful in your photos. To empower todays teens, we need to lead them away from thinking that they need to cover up what they have or change it to be accepted. If we are trying to send a positive message to these girls about being okay with their natural beauty, and remove the swimwear portion of the pageant, we need to carry that through the whole competition. I'm sorry if you don't think some of those girls look too overdone or older, but they do. (NT) -- stage_right, 19:11:53 04/02/19 Tue This is TEEN USA, even though you say this is about "natural beauty" this system should be about the WHOLE package especially beauty. In my opinion, IMG got the national Teen WRONG this past year. Their current titleholder is a big disappointment in many ways. The last thing any of these girls in high school want to see is a national role model looking like she just doesn't care about her looks (no make-up, not dressed nicely, etc.). You are representing the Teen girls of this nation and like it or not, Teen girls LOVE make-up, looking nice, beautiful hair, nice skin, etc. and thinking that their Teen USA is GORGEOUS not average. If you want plain, maybe you should watch or be a part of the MAOT system. They are known for not having pretty girls compete and win. (NT) -- KrownKrazy, 09:07:26 04/03/19 Wed I can only hope that IMG (who I think is going through an identity crisis) goes back to the what this pageant should be about. BEAUTY. As far as extreme retouching in the photos, yes, there are several girls who look NOTHING like their headshots, but leave that to the judges when they see these girls in person and see that the headshot was a bit of "smoke and mirrors" and that will be for them to judge but to think these girls should be so "natural" in their headshots - that is laughable. This is a pageant. What is wrong with a teen being confidently beautiful with make-up on? I just don't get what exactly it is you are trying to say. Maybe a better way to put it is that in the Teen headshots, the poses should not be "sultry" and more "teen" that would be my only critique. Otherwise, these teens are amazing.

If it were me, I'd have the contestants doing photoshoots at Lake Tahoe or the nearby foothills. -- Doot, 16:01:13 03/29/19 Fri Alt. the casino strip is not pretty (actually quite deserted), coming from the city, I actually like that part of Reno as it�s calm and laidback. But, from a marketing standpoint, they�ll need to think of different ways. (NT) -- Samuel, 09:02:47 03/30/19 Sat The article in the original posting is well worth reading. (https://amp.rgj.com/amp/3282370002). It talks about the tight timeline (yeah, what's up with that, MUO??) and whether hosting a pageant helps or hurts a city's image. -- Doot, 16:11:51 03/29/19 Fri

They had a top 15 with just 23 contestants? Good way to humiliate 8 girls. Should have been a top 10 at the most. (NT) -- robbinsgh, 21:20:56 01/27/19 Sun I didn't even think of that, I've been refreshing and scrolling social media. Yes, it is harsh, similar to KY TEEN USA, tough first cuts, 17 teens, cut to a top 10. Years ago Alaska had 6 or 7 teens and still cut to a top 5. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 21:38:42 01/27/19 Sun Watching the Kentucky pageant behind the scenes coverage again makes me think the Kentucky USA/TEEN USA pageants need a new leader, Kentucky loves pageantry, but the production and promotion is very lacking. I still think Melissa Pitchford, Paula Miles, Kim Greenwood or one of the other multistate director teams could really breathe some fresh air into that state pageant, the fans of KY were awesome to hear, but they and the girls of course deserve better I think. This year's KY USA pageant was stacked with many great girls, many unfortunately are 27 and aging out, and I and many other at home fans didn't even know who was competing until maybe 30 minutes into the final show, and from what I could tell the Kentucky contestants, MISS and TEEN, were all gorgeous!!! I wish they live streamed the show, the behind the scenes Facebook Live did not do the girls justice. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 22:57:05 01/27/19 Sun Apparently director fired for bullying, cheating, and fraud.

Not 100% if this is true - waiting for official announcment (NT) -- pageantgirlfan, 20:56:08 03/25/19 Mon OK, if this is true, you just made my day. If anyone can go through the voy/215218 archives, they will find out that I've suggested that Melissa Proctor take over the KY franchise! She does so well with MI & OH, she'd do phenomenal things with KY! (NT) -- Groove, 21:01:47 03/25/19 Mon Same! For years! Melissa definitely has her team and winners utilize social media. While they have yet to do a live stream to my knowledge i have watched post crownings on instagram live for Michigan and Ohio results usually come fast as well.

Subject: Miss Universe Catriona Gray gets New York Post coverage
Author: WilliamNYC [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 13:09:53 03/03/19 Sun Her journey to Miss Universe started at a young age, but it wasn�t originally her own dream. The brunette beauty grew up in Cairns, Australia. Her father is a retired Scottish engineer and her Filipina mother is an accountant who herself once auditioned for the Miss Philippines pageant, but didn�t make it to the finals. Instead, Gray�s mom put her daughter in local modeling competitions, and Gray won Little Miss Philippines when she was 5 years old. Still, she said, �I never had an interest in pageantry.� A fashion photographer in Manila scouted her when she was 13, and Gray began flying to the Philippines every summer to do editorials and beauty campaigns. �I was an only child and was a little bit sheltered,� Gray said of her teen years. But at 17 she decided to take a gap year before starting college and move by herself to Manila, where she became a full-time model and also started volunteering for Young Focus, a charity that focuses on childhood poverty. �It was a frustrating time in my life as a young adult, and I just wanted to concentrate on other people instead of my own situation,� Gray said. That�s when she began to take an interest in pageantry, after seeing how it is treated as a national sport in the Philippines. �I saw how much pageants demanded attention, and so I thought about what more I can do to pull awareness about the things I�m passionate about,� Gray said. In 2016, she was one of five women to win Miss Philippines (each queen goes on to represent the country in an international pageant). She was assigned to compete in Miss World, where she was a finalist. For photos go to www.nypost.com [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Subject: Miss USA pageant eyeing Reno as potential location
Author: HIM [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 19:57:16 03/01/19 Fri Are the Miss USA pageant and the Biggest Little City a perfect fit? Miss USA parent company Endeavor thinks so as it made a pitch to the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority board on Thursday to hold the event in the area, with the Grand Sierra Resort�s Grand Theatre mentioned as a potential venue for the pageant. Having the event in Northern Nevada will put a large spotlight on Reno-Tahoe, said Jonathan Seiden, legal counsel for Endeavor, which was formed with the merger of the William Morris Agency and IMG. The parent company for Miss USA, which also oversees the Miss Universe pageant, was previously owned by Donald Trump. �(Miss USA is) distributed to over 70 countries in the world,� Seiden said. �When we highlight Reno-Tahoe, it won�t be just for the United States but for an international audience who maybe doesn�t know much about the area and may want to come visit.� The Miss USA pageant, however, says it will need help from local government and businesses in order to successfully hold the event in Reno-Sparks. Each region is different but the assistance can come in the form of a mixture of tax breaks, a cash stipend and free hotel rooms for contestants. In Louisiana, for example, the organization was able to receive $1 million through a production tax credit plus a cash stipend of about $300,000 to $400,000. In exchange, the event yielded an economic impact of about $5 million for Shreveport, La., Seiden said. Miss USA�s production staff alone spends up to $400,000 on every city that the event is held at, he said. The digital exposure from the event is also worth about $1.5 million, Seiden added. �This is not a handout,� Seiden said. �You�ll get a nice feature on prime time TV about the city and about the contestants leading to the event. (Viewers) will see downtown, your mountains, your beautiful murals � and contestants talking about all the wonderful things you can do in the Reno-Tahoe area.� The RSCVA board did not make a decision on the event but says it is open to holding more discussions with Endeavor about Miss USA. Seiden declined to provide specifics when asked by the Reno Gazette Journal about what dates they were eyeing if Reno gets picked as a pageant site. Last year's Miss USA pageant site, for example, was not announced until March, just two month before the actual event. � This is a developing story and will be updated. https://www.rgj.com/story/money/business/2019/02/28/miss-usa-makes-pitch-hold-pageant-reno/3017349002/ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

One that comes to mind is Rachel Smith at Miss USA 2007. That sparkling red gown was just perfect for her. -- Doot, 23:54:03 02/05/19 Tue Based on the gown ALONE, for me it's a total win for Colombia at Universe 1994. Honestly, I am willing to argue that incredible dress wore Carolina on stage and not the other way around. Based on fan rankings on some websites, she appears to be the favorite 1st RU of all time. But for me, outside of that spectacular dress, she was middle of the road. Now, when considering this question from an overall point of view (e.g., how the delegate worked the dress, overall style, that "it" factor), I could spends days going back and forth between Italy 1997, Colombia 1993, Venezuela 2012, and Japan 2003. (NT) -- SeminoleNation, 08:33:44 02/06/19 Wed Loved Colombia 1994 gown for sure, I also liked Colombia 2000 gown which was somewhat similar. I really like Philippines 1999 gown, the color and asymmetrical neckline. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 11:47:12 02/06/19 Wed Indeed, Catalina's gown was nice! She took a well-earned second place finish in gown (after Venezuela). I think she may have finished Top 3 had she advanced out of the semifinals. Alas, something went terribly wrong in swimsuit. (NT) -- SeminoleNation, 14:41:29 02/06/19 Wed Colombia was the lone one piece swimsuit and I thought looked a lot better than some girls that placed higher in swimsuit.

It was ethereal during its time. (NT) -- HIM, 17:54:53 02/07/19 Thu Not sure how she didn�t get the highest score on finals night. She had an excellent presentation too. (NT) -- PF-Indy, 18:40:27 02/07/19 Thu Miss USA 1991 was a weird pageant all around. Barbara Eden and Debbie Shelton were bizarre in the anchor booth, somewhere between robotic and drunk. And then there was Kelly McCarty, the eventual winner. I never got her, and never will. But here's one extra weird thing: when they showed her score in evening gown (which was very high), the crowd seemed to go wild. But they always said the scores were not shown except to the home audience. Maybe the sound mixer amped up the volume, but I've always wondered about that. One of my least favorite pageants overall. -- Doot, 20:48:11 02/07/19 Thu The pageant was in Kansas, they went nuts every time she was on stage. (NT) -- robbinsgh, 22:39:21 02/07/19 Thu Others might think it was too simple but whenever someone mentions �fav gown�, I always think Shelley Hennig. I was sooooo in love with that.

I'd say I didn't find her as strong, especially as the host delegate. She did do very well, but I think her successors were a lot better. Her gowns in prelims and finals were a bit boring I thought. I think she tried to get the audience, her home crowd, pumped up at times, but it kind of seemed to fall flat, from home and on tv it came off awkward and I remember some thinking it looked "desperate". If I remember she wasn't exactly the popular choice when she won her national crown, yes/no? She did grab 2nd RU to Miss Universe so she definitely proved naysayers wrong. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 03:40:54 02/11/19 Mon i do recall some sort of hubbub about her not being the chosen one. i wasn't paying as close attention to national pageants back then but some pageant websites were going nuts (NT) -- dink, 14:14:09 02/13/19 Wed I didn�t hate her, just the floating mess that was her gown.

I think if the pageant hadn't been held there she wouldn't have gone nearly so far. -- Doot, 14:08:08 02/11/19 Mon agreed. she most definitely had the home court advantage (NT) -- dink, 14:12:03 02/13/19 Wed I can think of 2 that stick out in my mind to this day and both are from 1988; Bente Brunland, Miss Norway in her 1950's ball gown and Yajaira Vera, Miss Venezuela in her Star Trek themed gown. I'm sure there are many others but at first thought, those are the 2 that come to mind. (NT) -- perky, 15:36:08 02/12/19 Tue The unforgettable Zuleyka Rivera's dress and also Paulina Vega with Barraza's dress. (NT) -- MattSP, 14:37:51 02/13/19 Wed Omg how can I forget Zuly, who to this day I still think gave the BEST presentation ever, both swim and EG. (NT) -- eloise, 12:24:49 02/16/19 Sat Ps, I could not stand her leading up to the pageant lol. (NT) -- eloise, 12:26:11 02/16/19 Sat Yep, I agree. I was no great fans of hers, but I had to admit she was best in both competitions. I felt that she really did what she needed to do to win that night. And she came out first in swimsuit, followed by 19 others, and she still stood out... a very difficult feat to pull off. -- Doot, 14:15:55 02/16/19 Sat

I guess this is a slow time now that state pageants are over. But I am always up for discussing past pageants or other topics. We just need some good discussion starters. I will post one in a minute, but it's up to everyone to start new threads and respond to others. -- Doot, 17:37:25 02/05/19 Tue The way they make it so difficult to post pics ruins it. I mean we are already reg�d, why make it so hard still? I believe they are full gestapo bec they want the board to die and force the ride or dies here to go to facebook. I did and meh. (NT) -- eloise, 15:51:52 02/10/19 Sun I don't have a Facebook account and TBH I have no desire to get one. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 22:37:02 02/10/19 Sun It�s just like how USB was but less fun I thought. (NT) -- eloise, 08:13:49 02/11/19 Mon I agree. The USB Facebook page is all about kissing up to certain directors and their contestants rather than having a real unbiased opinion. I give the USB Facebook page zero credibility. Sorry. (NT) -- KrownKrazy, 09:25:49 02/11/19 Mon I don't get it, because we can post videos, so why not photos? -- Doot, 14:10:00 02/11/19 Mon Oh My Fricking God I'm finally able to post here after what seems like YEARS. My thinking is that since the site now requires logging in and user names, many don't want to be called out on their bullshit. Others, like me, probably can't log on and haven't been able to for a while and probably gave up. (NT) -- perky, 15:14:12 02/12/19 Tue Welcome back :) (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 20:35:41 02/12/19 Tue

Pageant not over yet..still searching social medias... (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 21:05:39 01/27/19 Sun MISS CA USA 2019 - Erica Dann, MISS CA TEEN USA 2019 - Alina Rae Carranza (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 22:08:54 01/27/19 Sun The winner was Miss San Francisco USA. They still have last year's winner on the website. I think the Cressley's aren't long for Cali. (NT) -- pageantpearl, 20:46:09 02/02/19 Sat California has been a mess for years. MUO should have a director trade, California to Shanna Moakler and Nevada/Utah to the Chrisley's. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 22:44:01 02/10/19 Sun I'm surprised Shanna wasn't awarded California. I think she'd be a good director for California. From what I've seen of the Chrisley run pageants they kind of disappointed, I was kind of expecting a lot more all around. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 00:16:17 02/11/19 Mon It is extremely rare for someone from Northern California to win the pageant. I think there have only been 4 winners from NorCal in the last 25 years, and Erica Dann is the first from San Francisco (my hometown!) -- Doot, 19:38:24 02/10/19 Sun She's very pretty and I can only go by the online photos, so even though she's great looking, I think I would've chosen any of the 4 runners up over her. But I'll be rooting for her at Miss USA! (NT) -- perky, 15:40:02 02/12/19 Tue

Subject: On-Stage Questions
Author: Doot [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:40:55 02/05/19 Tue Lately, MUO has been giving a list of topics to contestants so they have some idea what the on-stage questions might be about. Has anyone seen the list or does anyone know how general or specific it is? I'm curious about this. In any case, I think this is a good idea. The quality of the answers has generally been better the past few years. After Miss USA 2015, I was feeling pretty discouraged by the responses and I think the new format is helping avoid the complete meltdowns and YouTube moments. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Definitely think recieving the topics for potential questions is good. These pageants are supposed to be about celebrating these women, stumping them with overly intricate questions and making them look a fool, when they are so close to the crown/dream, was never a good look for these pageants. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 11:51:51 02/06/19 Wed I kinda agree but it makes me nosh when they sound too rehearsed. (NT) -- eloise, 15:47:36 02/10/19 Sun Oh for sure, case in point MAO 2019/MA 2.0 last September, but i believe the contestants actually got the questions in advance to prepare and the majority sounded painfully rehearsed. It really is subjective because one person will think one contestants sounds rehearsed while another will say she is well spoken, i think this happened to Catriona at Binibining and a bit at Universe; some were blown away by her delivery and answers and others felt she sounded fake or rehearsed. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 16:00:22 02/10/19 Sun I think the Phils just covered ALL the bases in possible questions. Catriona did sound too prepared. Am I the only one who thinks she goofed a little bit on her top5 answer? (NT) -- eloise, 16:20:15 02/10/19 Sun Yeah, she basically said cigarettes are good, but in moderation, LOL. In terms of the content, it was a bit jumbled, but her delivery sounded smooth, which I guess is what counted the most. -- Doot, 19:16:20 02/10/19 Sun Yes! The word �good� was a hurried choice. She should have focused on �legal�. (NT) -- eloise, 08:10:56 02/11/19 Mon This is what I didn't like about the TOP 20 personal statements or whatever they were called. A lot of them just sounded memorized. -- Doot, 19:17:57 02/10/19 Sun I liked it because we got to actually hear from the international contestants onstage in competition. I mean we got to hear some pretape blurbs, but hearing them in finals and 20 of them was enjoyable. I mean you tell the girls that if they make top 20 they have to be prepared to give a statement of course they are going to prepare a blurb about themselves, once again it's going to be subjective to some people girls will sound rehearsed or stiff, and some will sound natural, professional, put together. I think back to Miss Jamaica, she tried to memorize her answer and that back fired on her majorly. (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 20:51:03 02/10/19 Sun I like when the contestants gave spontaneous unrehearsed answers, because it added to the suspense. (NT) -- WilliamNYC, 20:55:04 02/10/19 Sun I think the possible meltdowns add thrill, except when it happens to my favs. I�m evil like that. (NT) -- eloise, 08:16:18 02/11/19 Mon I like it that the contestants are given a heads-up. I don't think there's a need for the not-so-long ago days (or owners) who wanted publicity over all else, no matter how bad the contestants looked. Now that I think of it, that way of doing things was a precursor to how the ex-owner treats his adversaries to this day. Embarrass them. (NT) -- perky, 15:26:55 02/12/19 Tue

Subject: Behind the scenes at Miss Universe
Author: Doot [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 19:30:27 02/08/19 Fri Dani Walker (Miss MT 2018) just posted a video of her experience at Miss Universe in Thailand. It's a fun video. You can see what the venue looked like inside and outside and what was going on during commercial breaks. A few observations... - Dani Walker looks great here, and so do the other Miss USA contestants that she is hanging out with, especially Regina Gray (Wisconsin). I wasn't crazy about their styling at Miss USA. It was too over-the-top, but they look fabulous here with the "smaller hair" in this video. - The video footage from the balcony shows some stuff that was not on TV, like how much Nepal struggled with her gown, especially as she was exiting the stage and Canada was coming toward her with that giant street sweeper. - You can see Sarah Summers meeting her friends and family just after the pageant.

hah! street sweeper is, somehow, the perfect way to describe that train (NT) -- dink, 02:02:26 02/09/19 Sat Lolllll. That was hilarious. I swear CDA always ruins it in gown though I genuinely did not think the last one was that bad but when she came out in that sweeper, I knew she was toast. (NT) -- eloise, 15:39:18 02/10/19 Sun right?! sierra was alright till that monstrosity of a mermaid gown that did her no favors; lauren's swimsuit didn't do her body justice and that evening gown was too teen in my opinion. marta, i think, wasn't going to make it past top ten even without the train. too many similar gowns floating down that runway (NT) -- dink, 02:28:50 02/11/19 Mon I thought Marta was da bomb but I also had a hard time taking anyone off the top five, maybe Puerto Rico but I liked her too. (NT) -- eloise, 08:06:13 02/11/19 Mon I wholeheartedly disagree. Although Sierra�s gown was a monstrosity, Lauren and Marta both gave stunning evening gown performances. Both gowns were stunningly worn by Lauren and Marta. Due to each evening gown performance, I would have advanced each into the Top 5. (NT) -- MLB, 13:34:57 02/11/19 Mon That seriously was the best stage ever. Also v interesting to see where they were all facing while on stage. (NT) -- eloise, 15:42:00 02/10/19 Sun Yes, I loved the double runaway. It makes a lot of sense because when there is just one long runway (like at MUSA 2018) it's a little awkward to have everyone out there while someone is walking, but the "X" gave the contestants a way to move off to the side. -- Doot, 18:57:44 02/10/19 Sun I loved the camera work where you saw the others walking behind the ones who were presenting. That was very pro. (NT) -- eloise, 08:07:40 02/11/19 Mon
