Subject: Wondering since MAO limited scholarship usage to just current tuition, has the program diverted and taken away scholarship benefits for girls who need student loan relief? Why continue in MAO if you need the money to pay off loans? Is it just crown chashing at that point?

Can she compete again to win it outright or does she age out if she takes it? Can anyone tell us more? She's a beautiful young woman. Would love to see her get her shot at Miss America, but also know she'd make a wonderful state titleholder. Must be a tough decision. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It would give her a chance to finally hold a state title. The downside is the state is just gonna be focused on the homecoming and finding appearances this year for Cassie. (NT) -- No name, 17:25:10 09/10/25 Wed (NoHost/172.56.160.230) Will she take it? Are we sure it's even been offered?

If they like someone else in the Top 5 better, that woman will be the new Miss NY. It will be interesting to see. Caitlyn competed with Mina several times at Miss NY. She knows the truth. (NT) -- No name, 11:54:47 09/11/25 Thu (NoHost/172.56.45.56) This comment is spot on. They will crown who they like, regardless of placement. This is an ongoing issue with the Miss New York Board that needs to be fully brought to light. (NT) -- No name, 12:21:03 09/11/25 Thu (NoHost/208.191.44.82) I mean, legally, they can't do that. Caitlyn is next line for the crown.

(NT) -- No name, 17:50:04 09/11/25 Thu (NoHost/172.56.45.110) Whats a horrible situation? Getting the state crown because your Miss won Miss America? That's an odd take (NT) -- No name, 18:29:53 09/11/25 Thu (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) The New York group isn’t on the up and up. This is widely known. I have no idea why they didn’t want Mina, but it wasn’t because they were clutching their pearls over her residency issue. Mina is not an unknown contestant. She was 4th runner up to Miss New York in 2024. She’s a Columbia graduate, so she automatically qualifies to compete in NY. Of course they wanted her in their pageant for numbers, but once she accidentally won they had to have a reason to make it about residency. She has lived in NY and Massachusetts and DC. Cassie has lived in Virginia,NY, Massachusetts, and Tennessee. Mina just wasn’t wanted and I don’t know why. (NT) -- No name, 18:45:09 09/11/25 Thu (NoHost/208.191.44.82) Graduating from a college does not permanently give you the ability to claim its location as your residency. If anything, that means she would have NEEDED to qualify based on a NYC lease or full time job in state. Honestly, if she wanted us to know the full story, she would speak up. I can’t imagine how embarrassing and frustrating it must be for everyone to speculate.

(NT) -- No name, 17:27:49 09/12/25 Fri (NoHost/172.56.164.39) I mean, any of the contestants and directors have motive to do it.

Subject: Let’s Ask It This Way
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 19:51:55 09/12/25 Fri (NoHost/68.208.10.17) If I were in the shoes of the Miss New York Board, this would have been extremely hard for me as Mina’s new state ED. Knowing this girl had worked so hard to be Miss New York, and had been the 4th and 1st runner up the last two years. She had been a New Yorker for a while and then just didn’t meet the residency requirement this year, which seems like such a silly, small thing since she actually is a New Yorker and went to college and graduated from Columbia. It would have been excruciatingly hard for me to take away her title. I would have definitely taken my time and done whatever I could to keep her. How did the Miss New York Board feel about having to let her go? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

September 9, 2025 â€‹After much thought and reflection, we have made the difficult decision not to sponsor a local program as part of the Miss Virginia Opportunity and Miss America Opportunity in 2026. We take immense pride in mentoring and supporting the incredible young women who allow us to be part of their lives. Because of this, we must be able to fully stand behind the leadership and direction of the organizations we work with. At this time, the choices being made at the state and national levels raise concerns that do not reflect the values we uphold as a program or as individuals. Because of this, we cannot continue our involvement under the present structure. We hope that, with meaningful change, there will be a day when we can return. Until then, we want to thank every person who has supported us and, most importantly, the young women we have the honor of knowing. With love, â€‹ The Miss Arlington Scholarship Organization, Inc. info@missarlingtonva.org Please Note: if you see 2026 competitions to crown a new Miss Arlington or Miss Loudoun County, those programs are not affiliated with us, our preparation process, or the legacy weâ€™re built upon.

VA is trying to force all of their locals to move to a for-profit model and give up their 501(c) status. I believe that Arlington and Roanoke Valley were the last holdouts. Roanoke Valley isn't going to change and the VA Board would lose a lot of local support if they tried to mess with RV. The bottom line is that NO ONE in VA likes Mark or Nancy and they hope that they step down. There are plenty of people that use to have locals ready to come back, but leadership needs to go. I mean, they did just have the majority of their formers (that are still alive) boycott their 90th pageant. That says a lot about what is going on in VA.

For years, the organization set the standard for how a program should be run, guided by a board of former 2010s competitors who brought skill and compassion. Some locals may initially welcome their departure, but they may not realize how much they rely on the recruiting and relationship-building this group does, which benefits the entire state. They have a dominant track record with MVA 22, 23, 1st RU, 2nd RU, and 4th RU to MVA 24, MVA 2025, and her 2nd RU. This signals a huge problem. Robin may ultimately face financial consequences.

They were young, fun, encouraging, and the biggest cheerleader for not only their girls but any girl they got to know through the program (including the current Miss Virginia's Teen! I will never forget seeing them hugging her mom at the end of the runway on prelim nights). This is a huge loss for Virginia. They should be running Virginia (NT) -- Allan, 16:21:10 09/12/25 Fri (NoHost/104.236.201.30) At one time VA gave their contestants the best state experience beginning with the wonderful auto arrival parade. Events included meeting with the mayor and receiving a city coin to staying at the wonderful Roanoke Inn. The pageant was televised throughout the Commonwealth and the winner was serenaded with her own special song. So many formers came back year after year including former MAs to celebrate the winner at the after party. To see the gold standard local make the decision to not continue under the current leadership is a canary in the coalmine moment.

Subject: Timely year for a New Yorker to be Miss America
Author: Fan [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 23:12:27 09/07/25 Sun (50.93.217-17.restechservices.net/50.93.217.17) Well how great to have Miss New York be Miss America with the tile of Miss America 2026 next year when America celebrates the nation's 250th semiquincentennial anniversary. Just like how it was Tawny Godin was the Miss New York to become Miss America in time for the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations. Of course, Tawny was a judge tonight at the 2025 Miss America competition to select Miss America 2026. Hopefully, Dorothy Benham of Minnesota will return next year as a judge for her 50th year anniversary. Sure, Cassandra is from Hampton Roads, Virginia, but she won Miss America as the assumed Miss New York (and each of those states were among the original 13 states in America). Hopefully she will have a more busier year than other recent titleholders as Miss America all thanks to the 250th celebrations. Congratulations. PS---Were there any non-finalist talent winners tonight? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

The way it was formatted was stating she was in it not that she completed it with any degree year.

On the downside, I didn't understand why the house lights stayed up for prelims and the game show travesty was corny and unnecessary. I don't know if they just wanted to give Abbie more to do since she was robbed of time, but it fell flat. Overall, I give the week an 8 out of 10! and hope that Cassie has a great term (since we don't know if we can call it a year anymore).

I really enjoyed the prelims and Miss and teen finals. Get rid of the dumb street interviews they were and really were excruciating. MC's why not get Dena Blizzard for the show?

The interview portion was a disaster, just ask a question, draw out of a hat whatever, it was so messy, Nicki, the host is terrible.

Subject: Career future
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:42:49 09/10/25 Wed (NoHost/172.56.161.172) The pageant telecast does not share info on any of the delegates. Does Cassie want to be a professional performer? If so, why has she spent the last few years doing pageants? How will that help her goal? Barely anyone saw the pageant. The general Public does not even realize that a new Miss America has been crowned Robin and Company have not been successful in high profile bookings for their winners. One year from now, Cassie will be on the edge of 30. Unfortunately, for female performers, it is tougher to make it. Kate and Leanza are two examples of performers who hid their Miss America status to pursue their careers. Unlike Cassie, both of them were crowned in the 90s when tens of millions of people watched them crowned on TV. What was the reason Cassie wanted to be so focused on pageants?

Cassie's dream was to be Miss America. You would discover this if you have social media other than this board. It was Susan Akin's dream to be Miss America. It was Jennifer Berry's dream to be Miss America. Those are just two I know of who admitted it was their ultimate dream. I'm sure there are more, even those who were convinced to enter for scholarships. In fact, I think that is what Rebecca King admitted. Believe it or not there are still young women who dream of being Miss America, in fact I witnessed one on social media this week who said she wanted to win Miss America. Their paths are all different and perhaps we'll find out Cassie's path during her reign. Just be patient. (NT) -- No name, 17:59:39 09/10/25 Wed (NoHost/212.15.83.90) It's so interesting to me that ever since her crowning, people on here have been trying to minimize her win with questions like this. Sure, it comes across as inquisitive but it sounds quite demeaning and insulting when you actually read it. Why did Abbie want to be Miss America? Why did Madison? Seems to me there are people who have a problem with Cassie, either because of her age or because it's sour grapes that their girl didn't win or both. These types of questions aren't as clever at covering that up as you think. They're just passive aggressive (NT) -- No name, 18:04:28 09/10/25 Wed (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) Agreed…passive aggressive BS (NT) -- No name, 21:39:31 09/10/25 Wed (pool-100-7-66-49.rcmdva.fios.verizon.net/100.7.66.49) She also has successfully been a professional performer for years.

I am a longtime fan of this program and all I know about the winner is the mixed messages I read on here. How is the general public supposed to know anything? MAO sent out one poorly written press release. My take away from that was Two fold: what is her nontraditional family and if she has been involved with her platform for nearly 2 decades, how old is she really? (NT) -- No name, 11:12:21 09/11/25 Thu (NoHost/172.56.26.19) Why do you think that any of this is YOUR business? MAO has no duty to disclose any personal information regarding Miss America. What you're really concerned about is, was she raised by 2 moms or 2 dads. Again, none of your business. You do realize that she has been competing at a local and state level since she was 10 yrs old. She was Miss Virginia's Outstanding Teen in 2013 with the same platform. She was the 2016 International Cinderella Teen with the same platform. She is 28 years old as of September 5th, 2025. I would say that she had a pretty amazing birthday present this year.

Subject: How does this organization move forward?
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 20:25:07 09/09/25 Tue (NoHost/172.56.166.26) How does Miss America move forward? We just had one of the smallest audiences ever to watch the pageant. MAO makes its money from the 1000 people who go to Orlando or by begging us all for money. Today, I went online looking for news or photos of Cassie since crowning. Radio silence. I did find a very short post from ABC News that had incorrect information. There were almost 400 comments. I read them to see what people were saying. Many congratulating Cassie, but just as many questioning why this still existed or saying horrible things about our winner. What also surprised me were the fans who were pushing back with wrong talking points. The two most often mentioned were we are the largest scholarship program in the world AND contestants could pay off college loans. Though the general public still has no real grasp of what this organization is about, it struck me funny that many of our supporters do not really know the correct information either How do we turn this program around when even our supporters do not understand this system?

I agree. Cassie has a unique opportunity to get Miss America back on track. Why? Because of her TALENT! Talent is reigning supreme, and with the Miss America title in her pocket, she is sure to be on broadway soon. That kind of publicity is something that could bring more young talented women to our program, because you can actually launch a career on TALENT. And if Miss America becomes the talent scout it used to be, audiences will come back and reach will grow. TALENT is what makes Miss America special, and I pray Robin comes to her senses on this soon.

I liked Georgia and had her in my top five. I wish she had worn something more dramatic in EG because of her height. (NT) -- No name, 23:53:19 09/07/25 Sun (NoHost/212.15.83.91) In a pageant, my eye always goes to the tall, Amazonian girls. However, I deal with a lot of models, so I'm biased, lol.

All night I was switching between her and NY. Her talent gown was fantastic. (NT) -- No name, 18:10:57 09/09/25 Tue (144.sub-174-238-98.myvzw.com/174.238.98.144) I absolutely adore Miss Georgia!

Her wardrobe was perfection and I love her old school glamorous look with the snatched bun. I had her as first runner up. The one I do not understand how she was in top five was Texas. She did nothing for me but she is absolutely beautiful. Hated her talent with the bent knees and lack of control we’re sad. That red gown was just not attractive!

This was definitely an instance where the girl was better in person (that's what you want). I honestly thought she was going to win because so often it's a girl who comes out of nowhere that wasn't on anyone's radar.

She looks fantastic and has such a marketable talent. She's already one of my favorite winners and she's not even out of the box yet. Teen also looks great. They make a good looking duo.

So cold and mercenary. If that's the case, the child should receive some funding from the state until they can get on their feet.

But the political climate is over the top in many ways. The person crowned will need to appeal to the public as a whole. (NT) -- But bottom line, it should be the person who scores the highest.

The state didn't have a reaction because she is still a cookie cutter, beautiful girl, with a deep southern accent. Nobody would even know she spent half her life in the Ukraine. In fact, she's the only person I know who after living in the Ukraine for her first 12 years doesn't have that accent at all. (NT) -- No name, 14:08:43 09/07/25 Sun (NoHost/75.149.119.21) The accent doesn't surprise me at all. That's about the right age for the development of accents.

I wouldn't question her accent. (NT) -- No name, 15:06:19 09/07/25 Sun (NoHost/72.143.236.169) Especially if the English Teacher was from the deep south, with a southern accent.

The judges do rank the girls & each position represents a score. There She Is= 10 pts; 1RU= 5pts; 2RU= 3pts; 3RU= 2pts; 4RU=1pt. Add up all those scores & the girl with the most points is Miss America! BUT, I get your point. All (prelim) scores are thrown out for Finals. It's a clean slate for competing in front of the new judges with fresh eyes who haven't seen them. Top 5 scorers tonight are the Finalists.

When one analyzes the South's success, what do you think those states have in common? Easier life? Time to train? More support? They don't have to dress up for the freezing weather; although they do have that for a short period compared to northern states. They have tradition for support; They are a bit more sophisticated overall. They have all that going compared to the cold-weather states.

The problem is when they reduced talent to only 20%, it opens the door for average talents to sneak in the top 10. This is why talent should be weighted at 30% and fitness reduced to 10%. People keep saying that talent doesn't matter in this competition, but it should matter. Miss America should be an exceptionally talented, well-spoken, intelligent, and relateable individual. (NT) -- No name, 02:57:03 09/06/25 Sat (184-97-5-201.lcrs.centurylink.net/184.97.5.201) Miss America should be beautiful. And no I dont mean this new idea of beauty is subjective. Sorry but talent at 30% is ridiculous and if anything it should be removed. I agree Miss America should be well-spoken, intelligent and relateable but she should also be a gorgeous and fit woman since you are going to be the face of the brand and women across America. (NT) -- No name, 11:28:14 09/06/25 Sat (static-198-54-128-86.cust.tzulo.com/198.54.128.86) You remove talent and you have a USA competition and look at the mess that program is in. Without talent, this competition becomes void of any entertainment value. And i agree with you that Miss America should be fit and attractive. What people continually forget, including Gretchen Carlson who nearly destroyed this prorgam by spouting off that "we will no longer judge a candidate on their physical appearance," is that as long as their is a final ballot in place, you will never get an unfit, unattractive Miss America.

Unfortunately, she made her entire existence about her platform, which is 4H. It was a really bad move. I'm surprised the state board didn't guide her more. Green really isn't her color and a girl should never, ever wrap herself up so tightly in her platform to the point where if they don't want to market the platform, you have no shot at the crown (NT) -- No name, 00:40:19 09/06/25 Sat (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) I love N.H. she is different and refreshing.

But if the national organization doesn't want to align with 4H, then the girl tying herself up in it is to her detriment. I would say the same if a girl was doing PETA as her platform or National Center for Missing and Exploited Children or National Stroke Foundation or whatever. If Robyn doesn't see the Miss America brand aligning with that particular organization, then it will impact the girl's scores in every single phase of competition if she is about nothing else except her platform. They need to remember the GIRL, not just the platform. It's like in gown. If your dress is wearing you, you're not going to score well. If your platform defines who you are as a person to the point that when they see you in every phase of competition, all they think of is your platform, you're unlikely to do well overall (NT) -- No name, 18:35:52 09/07/25 Sun (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) 4-H -- No name, 14:58:27 09/07/25 Sun (NoHost/199.58.112.105) 4-H part two. -- No name, 15:06:29 09/07/25 Sun (NoHost/199.58.112.105) Kind of surprised that very few have Iowa on their radar.

Subject: Favorites VS Real Contenders
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 19:22:07 09/07/25 Sun (c-69-250-176-114.hsd1.md.comcast.net/69.250.176.114) I’m seeing a lot of people favor certain states, and I get why on the surface. But this isn’t Miss USA… Miss America should be beautiful, but this role is about so much more than that. So, when considering your favorites, the real questions are: What do we actually know about her CSI? what has she done with it? What are five impressive, tangible things she has done with her state title that prove she’s prepared — and deserves — to be Miss America? Is she a finalist for any major awards like Quality of Life, or for fundraising? Has she built a strong social media presence and consistently promoted her platform? If she doesn’t leave Orlando as Miss America, will she continue fulfilling the job back in her state for the rest of the year? Would she actually be a strong national representative — someone the organization, sponsors, and media could confidently stand behind for a year? What does she bring to the table to actually elevate the Miss America brand? As the state titleholder, was she a true go-getter — or just going through the motions of doing the appearances planned for her? And the biggest question: does she truly love Miss America, and has she prepared and proven she deserves the title — or is this just about being in the right place at the right time? I can see why some favorites could make the Top 10. But after watching North Carolina win Teen last night, I’m expecting a full package winner for Miss tonight. My eyes are on Texas.

Because they don't actually give it out. They were all required to sign new scholarship guidelines. The words "if available" are used and also, if you use any of the Alabama or Mississipi scholarships then you can not claim nor will you receive any of the other scholarships awarded to you.

Subject: Where does Miss America 2026 go?
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:35:51 09/07/25 Sun (mail.basketballcity.com/38.96.160.130) Tonight, one of the smallest audiences in Miss America history will watch the new winner crowned What is the future for whoever wins this title? If she has a "media week", it will be very small. Last year, Robin promised a huge rollout and beyond a GMA3 interview the following Friday, it wasn't much of anything. Will she then, like Abbie, return to live at home waiting for her state to make the majority of her bookings? Will she continue to make $1000 a week if she makes an appearance? Will she be paid her winning scholarship? Will Abbie? Before that, we have to look to Camille, who's family went to court to get her money. Will Robin continue as the leader or will the court finally make a ruling and she will lose control? For we who love this organization, it is hard to watch. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

NC, SC, TX, DC, AR, MO are my favs, I think the Carolina’s have their best competitors in a while (NT) -- No name, 09:25:36 08/31/25 Sun (NoHost/50.223.96.250) I agree. I wish NC teen would tone down the makeup though. The dark eyes and super glam all of the time is not a teen winner imo (NT) -- No name, 11:17:07 09/01/25 Mon (172.sub-174-198-193.myvzw.com/174.198.193.172) Agree. The teen should look and act like a teen. (NT) -- No name, 23:30:01 09/01/25 Mon (dhcp-207-49-170-104.gobrightspeed.net/207.49.170.104) NC is extremely strong.....but their best competitor in a while? NC just won the national title 2 years ago. (NT) -- No name, 11:18:06 09/01/25 Mon (144.sub-174-238-98.myvzw.com/174.238.98.144) I think Kate is stronger than Hanley in consistency, Hanley couldn’t talk very well (NT) -- No name, 13:34:30 09/01/25 Mon (NoHost/50.223.96.252) In consistency? Hanley went the entire way in her first run at pageants. Winning prelims and a national title on her first try. I would have to disagree here. Hanley was the total package and very consistent, and still gave the “teen” vibe while doing it. (NT) -- No name, 23:27:50 09/01/25 Mon (dhcp-207-49-170-104.gobrightspeed.net/207.49.170.104) Interesting fact about Hanley.....a few months before she was crowned NC Teen she was a contestant in her high school pageant and she lost! She was 1st runner up. Someone on the school faculty was the local MAO ED and encouraged her to enter the local OT competition and she went all the way to the national title. (NT) -- No name, 20:45:36 09/02/25 Tue (244.sub-174-238-100.myvzw.com/174.238.100.244) couldn't talk well? Hanley emceed the entire MA and MAT prelim week last year. (NT) -- No name, 09:35:54 09/03/25 Wed (NoHost/170.85.131.27) Objective outside opinion from ALâ€”Kate is a stronger overall package than Hanley. Hanley is a nice looking, talented girl with great stage presence. However, she comes across as fairly subdued and is not a compelling speaker. Again, sheâ€™s a solid competitor and she deserved her win, but she was not as consistent across the board as many teen winners have been before. I have not seen the current NC teen talent, but I have followed her a bit on social media and watched her engage the public. In addition to being absolutely beautiful, she is well-spoken and warm. Her personality shines through. As long as her talent is decent, she will go far. This current class of teens is incredibly competitive, so you never know, but I would take Kate over Hanley head to head. JMO (NT) -- No name, 11:37:01 09/03/25 Wed (syn-068-117-155-207.res.spectrum.com/68.117.155.207) Isn't NC a recent Miss High School America? (NT) -- No name, 19:28:18 09/03/25 Wed (37.sub-174-238-96.myvzw.com/174.238.96.37) Yes, Kate was Miss High School America. Her talent is dance. I would say it is a solid talent. Not as strong as Hanleys was, but certainly strong.. (NT) -- No name, 19:50:50 09/03/25 Wed (107-196-213-32.lightspeed.rlghnc.sbcglobal.net/107.196.213.32) I’d take that bet. Hanley was fresh, likable, relatable, and very talented, and stunning. She clearly won the judges over.

(NT) -- No name, 22:15:37 09/03/25 Wed (NoHost/47.209.108.198) It looked like a USA style gown. (NT) -- No name, 22:23:03 09/03/25 Wed (syn-035-145-140-137.res.spectrum.com/35.145.140.137) Yep.

(NT) -- No name, 22:17:53 09/03/25 Wed (NoHost/172.59.168.114) TX is just a shadow of the girl that won the state title. She has always been my favorite, as she’s stunning, but the light and life behind her eyes isn’t there anymore. What did the TX org do to squelch that light?? (NT) -- She has always been my favorite, but her sparkle has dimmed., 22:21:39 09/03/25 Wed (99-7-233-117.lightspeed.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net/99.7.233.117) I absolutely love Miss Texas. HOWEVER, the last three Miss Texas won the state title with a certain IT quality. The state org didn't need to do much to get them ready for nationals. With Sadie, perhaps there was too much over prep! She is still a strong possibility for top 10.

TX was solid red and there was a lot of red, kind of surprised but she looked great. DC's gown reminded me of Zuleyka Rivera's gown, Miss Universe 2006.

It's disappointing that Robyn limited them though - lots of "white pant suits". They all look the same. (NT) -- No name, 15:52:04 09/02/25 Tue (23.29.80.195.bbc.net/23.29.80.195) Iowa wore orange.

(NT) -- No name, 15:46:02 09/02/25 Tue (23.29.80.195.bbc.net/23.29.80.195) Who knows? But I doubt it. I don't know how Robyn could tell the judges to score lower for something like that. I saw geen, blue (several shades), red, and orange - and most would be perfectly acceptable in a corporate setting. I would hope that, unless the girl was truly inappropriately dressed (bare shoulders, skirt too short), then the judges would concentrate on the content of her interview. (NT) -- No name, 16:22:44 09/02/25 Tue (NoHost/162.10.132.45) I think that what Robyn wants most is a girl who is conservative enough for her. (NT) -- No name, 16:34:39 09/02/25 Tue (NoHost/162.10.132.45) ALâ€™s wardrobe has been my favorite so far, but I didnâ€™t love her interview look. The dress was adorable and fit her well, but the black kind of blended with her dark hair. She looked very nice, but not as wow as her other ensembles. Ditto for the teen. Maybe strategically downplaying for interview and then amping up the glam for prelims? Anyway, their clothing sponsor consistently nails it, so I am looking forward to seeing talent, OSQ, evening gowns!

Subject: Teen competition: Nice production, decent stage, good music and Abby and Peyton were good enough. My standouts were AL, AK, AR, CA, ID, IL, MS, WA and WV. I think MS and WV are the prettiest, while CA, ID and WA seem the most capable of winning a national title. Alaska is cute and spunky, probably would be an absolute joy to represent the teen crown.

(NT) -- No name, 14:33:26 09/03/25 Wed (NoHost/70.137.237.2) “decent stage”. “Abby & Peyton were good enough”. What ringing endorsements! Why do we settle for Ok?? (NT) -- No name, 16:06:03 09/03/25 Wed (NoHost/172.56.180.1) Saves money - they're free labor.

(NT) -- No name, 16:33:49 09/03/25 Wed (NoHost/162.10.144.38) I think they got a Teleprompter for the preliminary MC's this year so that's an improvement.
