Subject: Dusty Springfield songs Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:42:29 10/18/18 Thu I love Dusty Springfield's music and was thinking "All I See Is You" or "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" would make great pageant talent songs... neither seem to be overdone. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] Replies: I agree (NT) -- No name, 21:10:20 10/18/18 Thu "Son of a Preacher Man" - Shannon Sanderford, Miss Texas (NT) -- No name, 22:03:45 10/18/18 Thu Loved her singing that song. She made it her own. (NT) -- No name, 23:26:39 10/18/18 Thu Miss America 2016......Shannon Sanderford representing Texas....did very well singing Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man"...I really enjoyed her performance, and she made top 10. (NT) -- No name, 22:31:52 10/18/18 Thu And she looked so sexy while singing it. (NT) -- No name, 23:38:01 10/18/18 Thu Former Miss North Carolina Lori Boggs sang You Don't Have To Say You Love Me for talent, both at the state pageant and Miss America. She did a great job. (NT) -- No name, 13:34:02 10/19/18 Fri ^^I was there that year and I still remember it! And I love the idea of doing Dusty Springfield songs!^^ (NT) -- No name, 14:25:24 10/19/18 Fri Who were the runners up to Lori Boggs? Did they come back again to compete? (NT) -- No name, 15:06:26 10/19/18 Fri The first runner up, Alicia Lassiter, competed again the following year and made top 10. She also competed at least once later for Miss California and made top 10. I honestly cannot recall the others in top 5. (NT) -- No name, 15:15:44 10/19/18 Fri Was this the year Debra Earp was 4th runner up as Miss Wilson? I always liked her. (NT) -- No name, 15:38:46 10/19/18 Fri I remember Lori and was surprised she didn't even get a non-finalist talent award at Miss America. (NT) -- No name, 00:43:11 10/21/18 Sun

Subject: BREAKING: The Miss South Carolina Organization has just announced that Miss SC 2019 will receive a $60,000 scholarship! More than Miss America! Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:10:47 10/16/18 Tue [ Post a Reply to This Message ] Replies: Love it! Great job by the SC Org! (NT) -- No name, 16:53:15 10/16/18 Tue Has it been announced what the scholarship amounts for first and second runners up will be ? My girl may consider transferring from Tulane to College of Charleston so she can compete in South Carolina. (NT) -- No name, 19:55:38 10/16/18 Tue How much for first runner up ? $40,000 ? (NT) -- No name, 05:10:50 10/17/18 Wed Where is the news release? Checked their webpage & FB (NT) -- No name, 19:50:02 10/16/18 Tue This is great but still makes me scratch my head. (NT) -- No name, 22:29:45 10/16/18 Tue S.C. knows what is coming. They most likely would rather give the money away to their next winner, rather than turn it over to MAO when the state pageants are disbanded. Good move on their part. I suspect other states will do the same thing. Clean out the scholarship fund and just give it away. (NT) -- No name, 00:29:42 10/17/18 Wed That was also my thought. I wouldn't be surprised if most states clean out their bank accounts with super scholarships. (NT) -- Why give it to the Gretch who stole Miss America?, 17:18:31 10/17/18 Wed Forget about the rumor of disbanding locals. Way too much CMN money is made from local pageants. That's a huge money source for MAO. Don't know where it got started, but not the truth I'm sure. (NT) -- No name, 01:23:30 10/17/18 Wed Exactly locals do all the work, and get a very small portion of the CMN money back after the split to national organization (NT) -- No name, 08:44:27 10/17/18 Wed That money will be made up by increasing the "donation" amounts for state & national participants. (NT) -- No name, 11:24:24 10/17/18 Wed You don't know the truth any more than those predicting the locals will go. But I'd like to do the math. Of the 60% cut the MAO gets from CMN, what cut% of the $100 local and $500 state CMN fees does the MAO get? (NT) -- No name, 14:37:19 10/17/18 Wed I know for sure that the local gets $20 of the $100, and that has to be used for scholarships. (NT) -- No name, 00:42:09 10/18/18 Thu I think it is more like $10 per 100 (NT) -- No name, 12:55:23 10/18/18 Thu It is $20 (NT) -- No name, 18:18:24 10/19/18 Fri I think there are several states that should just put their effort into the State pageant and winner and not even send her to Miss America. While it doesn't apply to every state, there are some that the experience and job of being the State winner is better than being Miss America...especially given the current situation. It feels like it's been months since Miss America and I can't believe it's actually only a month and a half. I feel like I didn't see Nia on hardly any TV and I don't hear anything about her unless it's posted here and it was that way only a couple of weeks in. (NT) -- No name, 09:48:14 10/17/18 Wed Agree. I truly believe that, these days, being Miss Alabama, Miss Georgia, Miss North Carolina, Miss South Carolina, Miss Tennessee, Miss Mississippi or Miss Louisiana is much more rewarding than being Miss America. (NT) -- No name, 18:41:54 10/17/18 Wed None of it is worth it anymore. No glamour , no $, no respect. Costs too much and you get your reputation ripped up. (NT) -- No name, 00:50:52 10/18/18 Thu Miss Palmetto State. (NT) -- No name, 01:07:50 10/18/18 Thu Miss Georgia -- VoyUser, 12:36:34 10/18/18 Thu Wtg, Annie! (NT) -- No name, 22:29:19 10/18/18 Thu The fact that neither Georgia nor Tennessee made the cut at Miss America, coupled with both states losing their franchise, may be a sign that someone was being vindictive. Both were head and shoulders over some of the questionable reps in top 10 and even top 5. (NT) -- No name, 13:30:28 10/19/18 Fri They are one of the only states who don't pay for their contestant housing. This allows them to save quite a bit of money which they are certainly using well. They raise a ton of money and get tons of support. My hat is off to them. (NT) -- No name, 18:33:27 10/18/18 Thu our state doesn't pay housing either.... so it isn't just them (NT) -- No name, 17:14:31 10/19/18 Fri Suzi Roberts had a Miss SC apartment last year (NT) -- No name, 19:07:49 10/19/18 Fri In Hartsville, SC. I don't think that she stayed there very much. (NT) -- No name, 19:20:25 10/19/18 Fri Now that she is big time in N'awlins, what kind of living arrangements does she have ? (NT) -- No name, 19:25:49 10/19/18 Fri She really hurt our feelings back home. While chatting on her Instagram, she was referring to Columbia and said "There is nothing for me in that town". And just to think, she was once Miss Columbia. (NT) -- No name, 23:13:31 10/19/18 Fri she said that a lot. She's called Columbia her hometown and then called Pawley's her hometown. She disses PI too. Don't take it personally. That girl flies with the wind and has no allegiance. (NT) -- No name, 09:46:33 10/20/18 Sat Uh oh....Mississippi State is losing badly to LSU. (NT) -- No name, 21:33:04 10/20/18 Sat She surely is getting political on her social media. (NT) -- No name, 23:44:51 10/20/18 Sat Great job Miss SC Org (NT) -- No name, 23:39:11 10/18/18 Thu

(NT) -- No name, 19:46:03 10/20/18 Sat Anyone posting updates? (NT) -- No name, 19:58:52 10/20/18 Sat The reigning Miss NC USA is off filming The Bachelor so she won't be at the crowning. Miss AL USA is also on The Bachelor but her pageant isn't until later so she might be able to be at the crowning. I guess it's not in their contract that they have to be available to crown the new winners. (NT) -- No name, 16:52:07 10/20/18 Sat I believe Kryst was top 10 one year at Miss NC and 1st runner up the next, the year Kate Peacock won.

(NT) -- No name, 22:09:04 10/20/18 Sat She was 1st runner up to Kate Peacock. It's been a rough year for NC and their former black contestants.

I think it's sad that "dvds on ebay" are the only way to take in Miss America history. Is this 1998? The fact that MAO blocks full broadcasts of historical pageants is just another demonstration of how tonedeaf and greedy they truly are.

BAD DREAM sums it up. More like a nightmare. Hope it ends SOON! (NT) -- No name, 08:52:32 10/20/18 Sat No money will be the death of the pageant. The other things just cause difficulty not death. (NT) -- No name, 11:40:49 10/20/18 Sat I’m waiting to see if Gretchen has the connections to money for production. She needs this to be a success otherwise she’ll blame the demise of the org on a lawsuit. (NT) -- No name, 11:53:16 10/20/18 Sat I have gone to my state pageant every year since 1987. From 87 to about 95, they chose a top 10, all ten competed in all categories, and they called out the runners-up and winner from the top 10. From 1996 to the present they announced a top 10 (sometimes 11), all competed in all categories, they announced a top 5 and choose the winner from there. It's always worked. Our state produces a good show, there is a full house on finals night, and we seem to always crown a Miss that is deserving of the title. Why in the world the national organzation had to mess with this formula is beyond me. All of the gimmicks over the years, the crazy elimination rounds, and the lack of any real production has killed Miss America. If the current producers had taken note of the success that many state pageants have in this system they would have been much better off than to reinvent Miss America and try to attract an audience that never cared about Miss America in the first place. (NT) -- No name, 13:14:22 10/20/18 Sat I never dreamed our beloved program would be in such a horrible place. G and R continue to blame the stakeholders and say this is about them not accepting changes. I am so TIRED OF THE LIES!!!! This is about their absolutely horrible lack of leadership, transparency and regard for anything or anyone. They have DESTROYED this organization and have hurt so many people. What’s worse is now people are silent, scared and accepting this disaster because those leaders with a VOICE either quit or were terminated. What’s wrong with the EDs??? Take a stand and QUIT!! They would go under and we could start over. Do it NOW! (NT) -- No name, 13:42:15 10/20/18 Sat
