Subject: I actually don't have a complaint about the outcome. I was not there. I was just making a comment about the appearance of impropriety that a seasoned local director should have realized. I didn't see the pageant and have no opinions on the outcome either way. Having seen Amelia at state, I have no doubt that she did well this weekend. Unfortunately poor decisions by "management" sometimes turn what was a perfectly clean judgement and deserving win, into something that people will question.

Neither Adrien's, nor Amelia's videos were played prior to judging be completed, but a number of girls could have been in any of those videos. I think what's being taken out of the equation is the integrity of the judges. At this point, they already know each contestant's background and have interviewed the contestants as well. To worry that this one thing will influence the judging in any significant way implies that you can't trust the judges' ability to judge. I don't think the judges' integrity is in question; and the state organization has measures to prevent the local directors from influencing the outcome. Without question, there were examples of poor judgment on Saturday night, but ultimately they were not made by the judges themselves." on 11:20:48 02/22/16 Mon [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Just for clarification, my first comment on this started with the "While there might not be an official rule on this" statement. I did not make the previous comments complaining about the outcome. I can see how these boards can be confusing. (NT)	No name	11:34:14 02/22/16 Mon
They are. And I'm still confused by the others' complaints, but I do agree with your articulate, reasonable posts. They're refreshing. :) (NT) -- No name, 11:44:05 02/22/16 Mon
