Per their post they never planned to crown 4 in the first place. They were always only crowning 2 then decided to add a 3rd with score and a 4th from this. This is an added one that wouldn't even be there if it weren't for this. No need to get in a debate over something you know nothing about. This gives a girl who doesn't have the $600 to go at large a chance. I think it's a great idea.
