Subject: Miss Kentucky and Miss Kentucky Teen USA

Author: no name

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:05:41 01/14/14 Tue I will get right to the point. The Kentucky USA system is the most unprofessional and disappointment system I have seen. You would think for the price, there would have been more professional speaking MC's (they could not even read the sheets). Both the prelim night and finals night did not start on time and the intermission on finals night went way too long. The music was inconsistent with the contestants appearances. The microphone was left in the middle of the stage when some of the contestants were modeling and some contestants missed out on having their bio's read (while most were read incorrectly). Prior to pageant weekend, communication was sent that sometimes was not clear or totally lacking in content. Some of the information was even wrong. To top it all off, the decision of the winner for teen was absolutely shocking and if I had known you only had to look pretty on Facebook, walk around the stage like you didn't care, and have a prom gown, I would never have wasted my money. The same with the Miss. This is not the professional organization that Donald Trump would expect and I think he needs to see a copy of the video to see what a mess the Kentucky system was this past weekend. I do plan to write him a letter with all the details. Seven judges (supposedly professionals) made these selections? I hope not! The results were either planned in advance or it is a lure to get the really good girls to keep competing and spending their money in hopes of eventually winning. My daughter will not be back and I will encourage others not to participate in this system. I have never seen such a joke of a pageant. This is not to say that Ms. Clark is not a nice person - she was lovely to all the girls. However, being a lovely person does not make you a good pageant director. Kentucky will be embarassed at nationals for sure. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I couldn't agree more! Well said!!!!!!!!!	No name	16:11:20 01/14/14 Tue
100% correct!!!! The whole thing was a joke! Need a new director!	Frustrated	21:13:45 01/14/14 Tue
This is nothing new. Happens every year and amazingly people still do it	The only way things will change is if you stop supporting it	11:05:01 01/15/14 Wed
how many people outside of friends and family were in attendance???? I know several former pageant girls refuse to go back b/c of past experiences! -- it starts with us!, 12:06:41 01/15/14 Wed
I've been to a few Miss KY prelims that were a hot mess too. Not to mention directors who choose favorites. Thats just how pageants are. (NT)	No name	22:04:24 01/15/14 Wed
but this is not a prelim, it is a state pageant (NT) -- you can not compair Miss Kentucky to Miss Kentucky USA., 22:42:40 01/15/14 Wed
well well well Now you see what we have been trying to tell you for months that it would be like. I guess because it was YOUR daughter in it that it would be different. How did that work out for you. Welcome to the realization and move on. Donald Trump could CARE LESS what goes on here as long as he had a director that is putting on a pageant and he is getting his money.	NEXT!!!	22:40:49 01/15/14 Wed
I just have to say- it wasn't me that wrote this	but it could have been! HA	09:08:52 01/16/14 Thu
That is not quiet true, several directors have lost their pageants. Yes Trump could care less but there are those who do expect better. Connie knows her pageant is on the line. Why do you think Connie is trying to make changes, this is the first year that she has ever had so many formers back. She knows that the successful pageants incorporate your formers. It tells the girls wanting to compete that they will be a part of something special.	She used several of the same judges back to back. MUO no no	09:16:12 01/16/14 Thu
I guess that explains the teen winner since she was first runner up last year with the same judges (NT) -- No name, 12:17:39 01/16/14 Thu if that's the case then why wasn't Kia in the group picture since she was there? Where was Katrina while Stephanie was hamming it up with the other formers during competition? Where is Tara??? Tara was recording last weekend. If our own Miss USA won't even come back then shouldn't that be a red flag? Lori won't be coming back. what about her precious Kristen??? her baby is now what? 2. she could make the trip! -- more, 16:55:08 01/16/14 Thu Katrina had the same opportunity, Kia didn't get there until late afternoon and practiced. I was just saying that she knows her pageant is in trouble, she is pulling out all the stops to save it, I feel your pain and understand but that is all I meant. You don't have to attack all of the girls, isn't that what all the girls were there for this weekend? To become a former, don't attack them it's not their fault. . And no, more than one judge back to back is NOT right! (NT) -- Geezzz we get it, 19:30:14 01/16/14 Thu
Did she pay for contestants room ?	No name	11:49:22 01/19/14 Sun
No! -- Broke parent, 12:43:57 01/19/14 Sun I think the state pageant is required to pay for room??? -- No name, 18:08:06 01/19/14 Sun She doesn't make enough money to pay for the rooms. She looks for everything that she can get to be donated. -- Fly, 08:34:52 01/20/14 Mon And it is ALL the director's fault. You cannot blame people for walking away and not helping if they have been treated like crap. -- No name, 13:57:37 01/20/14 Mon who was her right hand man and where did he go??? -- inside, 14:03:52 01/20/14 Mon That would be Ahmed, he is the one that got all of the venues together when my daughter had to go do paper work and interview before the pageant a few years back. He is connected with U of L. I heard he was gone. (NT) -- Fly, 20:56:10 01/20/14 Mon
