So if you want to know I suppose contact them, MAO or I suppose the government -- just my thoughts, 15:37:06 06/18/13 Tue

Top 5 in no particular order: Walquist, Bull, Jackson, Lewis, Magnin -- Observer, 04:25:21 05/26/13 Sun Like your predictions. I think many of your picks will be dead on, including your prelim winners! Stephanie Bailey and Becky Albini (MAYBE Alix Gardner) will most likely be in top 10. For top 5, I predict you are just off by 1 or 2 people. My top 5 prediction is Amanda Debus, Angelica Nardi, Renee Bull, Jacqueline Wahlquist, and Erin Magnin. New Miss DE prediction, any one of those five ladies could take the crown - but I think it will be between Renee Bull and Amanda Debus. Just my two cents! -- de, 00:15:43 06/01/13 Sat

All 10 were great! -- Fan, 12:12:42 03/26/13 Tue No one is being "put down". Different day different set of judges. If these young women are going to stay involved in pageants they are going to have to get used to people having an opinion on their performance and that of the other young women. Yes, everyone was great. But not everyone has to agree with the results. Anyway congratulations to all of the contestants -- my two cents, 20:41:49 03/27/13 Wed

I think that this is usually announced at the 2nd orientation? -- haven't heard anything yet, 05:06:14 05/11/12 Fri Why in the world would a state like DE need " a 2nd orientation"? -- Rotfl, 09:44:14 05/12/12 Sat Learn production numbers, square away paperwork etc... Why not? -- Hmm, 16:39:28 05/12/12 Sat Having two orientations is so much better than cramming everything into one orientation. Also gives the girls more chances to get to know each other. (NT) -- imo, 15:13:32 05/13/12 Sun The only response this ignorant comment deserves is for us all to acknowledge the author "ROTFL"......that's all I need to say. But to humor your question, ROTFL, DE has a fantastic production....you must not have ever been- or else you wouldnt be making such silly , snide, comments. Try supporting the DE organization , and then you'll understand why! -- We love our DE girls!, 15:45:05 05/14/12 Mon My two cents: I have been to many state pageants including DE. I found the production decent, yet very long. I would call OK a state who does a "fantastic" production. And OK has three times as many contestants and only one orientation. -- dift view, 14:40:19 05/15/12 Tue OK has thousands of dollars to put on a production. Delaware has pennys. Trust me, you won't see production numbers like ours in any other state. I'm not sure why it matters to you whether DE has one or 30 orientations? We love the extra time it gives us to be together! -- My two cents, 08:41:45 05/16/12 Wed I've seen other state pageants & DE is always consistently entertaining. The choreography makes ALL the contestants look like they are real dancers & showcases the outgoing Miss w/o taking attention away from the contestants. The venue is professional and spacious. The emcee, Susan Powell has gotten even better. Don't forget that the talent of the contestants is above average compared to other states. Former Miss DE's also perform-all of whom are very talented. -- my take, 16:28:02 05/16/12 Wed You had me until you wrote: Former Miss DE's also perform-all of whom are very talented. -- You went too far trying to prove your point, 18:52:38 05/16/12 Wed LOL!

Jamie was a great Miss DE but there was a lot if resentment there too. Same with Miichelle. (NT) -- Blah blah, 16:38:00 05/19/11 Thu No one posts here because they are leery of who owns this board. Just like the last "MAO board" (and I say that loosely), it turned into a bash fest about people not even affiliated with MAO and the board owner had an agenda.

The MDSO has chased away so many wonderful volunteers and they need to update their overall approach. Too old school and unnaproachable -- sad but my opinion, 09:07:06 05/26/11 Thu I've seen volunteers come go. Some, not all but some, volunteered for the wrong reasons. If you volunteer expecting something out of it, you will always be disappointed in the end and walk away with a bad feeling about the situation. Volunteering is giving of yourself with absolutely no expectations of anything in return. A lot of people miss that. It is a thankless job. It truly is. And i wouldn't say they are "old school". Miss America has a rich history and tradition and i think its -- Admirable that they try to uphold some tradition., 02:16:12 05/27/11 Fri Further to that, i wouldn't say that a "wake up call" is needed.

(NT) -- My opinion, 09:54:16 05/26/11 Thu Shoha was a breath of fresh air, a very non-traditional queen and not caught up in being a mold of other title holders. She was way cool (NT) -- :), 04:02:02 05/27/11 Fri Sounds to me like she was a true "newcomer" then. I know there are some of those this year. Was she wowwing people before the pageant, too? (NT) -- curious, 07:55:13 05/27/11 Fri No there is no one like Shoha lol. Sorry to let you down. Shoha was almost anti-pageant but in a non-offensive way. She did things her way and didn't let anyone boss her around. Yes that caused waves in the oceans but that's why people have so much respect for her now. To know her now is such an honor she truly is remarkable. (NT) -- again: no Shoha in this pageant lol, 09:22:23 05/27/11 Fri I can't imagine that you know all of this years contestants so well that you can insist that none measure up to Shoha. I hope you're wrong. (NT) -- !, 16:59:41 05/28/11 Sat Not wrong. (NT) -- Haha, 21:57:07 05/28/11 Sat That response alone speaks volumes. Thanks.

Hi everyone,
As Kirsten Haglund and many other amazing pageant friends have done before me, I filmed an episode of MADE for MTV recently and it will premiere TODAY, Monday December 12 at 7:00 PM (Eastern time, not sure about other time zones). I was very blessed to work with a wonderful young woman and I hope you will tune in and enjoy the episode. We filmed in and around Salem, Massachusetts in September and it was an experience I will never forget! I hope you enjoy it.

All the best always and can't WAIT to see you and tweet you at Miss America!

**nice article despite some inaccurate info here and there

Students compete in Miss Newark pageant
By Alexandra Nau

WILMINGTON, Del.—While most children were watching cartoons, 2010 university alumna Marcie Smith had her television set to another channel.

"I've been watching Miss America since I was five," Smith says.

Smith, who won the title of Miss Newark last year, competed for the last time Sunday night at this year's Miss Newark/Miss Wilmington pageant at Harry's Savoy Grill Ballroom in Wilmington.

This year, the women's group, ranging from ages 17 to 24, had enough contestants to award separate crowns for Newark and Wilmington residents. Senior Erin Magnin, a music education major at the university, was crowned Miss Wilmington, and Stephanie Bailey won the title of Miss Newark.

Both of these title-holders will compete in the Miss Delaware pageant. The winner will compete for the title of Miss America in January.

Magnin says she'll walk away from the competition with a handful of new friends.

"I'm having fun," Magnin says. "The women who compete are really kind and intelligent."

Bobbey Biddle, executive director of the Miss Greater Wilmington Scholarship Organization, which hosts the pageant, says anyone who lives, works or attends school in the state of Delaware is eligible to compete at the local level.

"They just have to be prepared to compete in various stages of competition," Biddle says.

This competition includes private interviews with the judges and an onstage interview question as well as swimsuit, talent and evening wear contests. Biddle says this year's contestants came to the event eager to win.

"This year seems very highly competitive," he says. "They're all strong in different phases of competition."

Becky Albini, a sophomore food science major who also competed for the Newark crown, is new to Delaware pageants but has competed on stage four times in her home state of Connecticut, winning local titles such as Miss West Berry and Miss Wolcott.

"I've done it since I was 16 years old," Albini says.

Each competitor must choose a social issue to pledge support to in the competition. After Albini was stalked by a sexual predator two years ago, she says she wanted to educate people, especially teenagers, about the importance of knowing how to protect themselves. She saw the Miss America organization as an outlet for her platform of safety awareness.

"You need to be aware of what's around you," she says. "I wanted to be a part of an organization because I can help people."

Albini says this platform, as well as the scholarship awards, constantly brought her back to the pageant scene. But she says these competitions are often stereotyped as shallow and inconsequential.

"I think people dismiss it before giving it a chance," Albini says.

Smith, who graduated last year with a bachelors degree in plant science, is using her scholarship winnings to help pay off school debt. Albini used her local winnings to buy textbooks.

In preparation, Albini worked out at the gym several times a week, watched what she ate and spent hours choreographing her tap-dance routine for the talent section of the pageant. She says she also practiced interview questions by watching CNN and Good Morning America.

"It's a lot of preparation," Albini says.

After Bailey and Magnin were announced as the winners, camera flashes erupted and the contestants ran to hug their families. Albini was announced as the first runner-up.

Albini says despite the disappointing result, her goal was always to have fun and grow as a person.

"I'm going to make the most of it," she says. "Everything happens for a reason."
