Just curious as to why a lot of normally successful locals are not making this year? Also noticing a surge of newcomers, where are our vets going? and why arent they competing?

wondering if this MMBOD has done something to drive away contestants from returning....

The contestant participation is up, and the number of previously successful veterans has been high. I'm not sure what you are trying to say. The only thing lacking right now is the number of pageants being offered.

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 03:18:08 12/02/13 Mon Directors have always begged girls to compete. Having been involved in the system for a long time, I never knew a time girls were beating the door down to get in. There has always had to be strong encouragement from the directors.

I am pretty sure we lost several quality contestants because of age limits no longer corresponding with the date of Miss America.
If you were born in 1989 you have aged out. There were a few really great girls in that class. This class is a little tired and over experienced. Don't get me wrong here, I would totally compete every year I could but sometimes I wonder if there should be a limit on how many times you can go to Miss Mississippi. 5 to 6 times is just excessive. I could imagine how hard it would be to no longer compete after devoting so much time to something all of those years.

I think will see a turnover of a whole new class next year. A lot of returnees are going to age out. I can't wait to see the new blood!

Yes! They have done something to drive away girls. They preselect the winner and girls are finally waking up and realizing that no matter how hard they try or no matter how good they are that they aren't going to be Miss MS unless they know someone. Now! There you have it! This program is not like a bowl full of cherries for young women, I have learned it is like a bowl full of S#*t!!
