Subject: Well, I would assume if they had separate judging panels that she made the first cut pretty much on the strength of her talent. Unfortunately, due to the finals format, the second group of judges never got to see her talent as she was eliminated before.

's message, "This was one of the years where they had a separate panel of judges judging preliminaries vs. final night. The preliminary wins were a bit wonky already... and the finals night judges just didn't see the same spark in Iowa that the prelim judges did. Let us not forget how subjective this all is, to a point." on 02:19:39 04/11/26 Sat [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date I'm confused why you would assume that... she won both preliminaries, not just talent. She DID compete in Swimsuit on Finals night, and despite winning the preliminary, that wasn't enough to get her into the Top 10. Why is the idea that judges have subjective tastes so impossible to accept? (NT) Is there a delusion that this is all 100% objective? (108-248-242-254.lightspeed.cicril.sbcglobal.net/108.248.242.254) 15:46:51 04/11/26 Sat Oh, I'm confused. When the poster said Iowa, I automatically thought about Diana Reed, the baton twirler I have no idea how that double preliminary winner did not advance. However, some people on the board were saying at the time they had no idea how she won 2 preliminaries. I have no opinion, as I was not there.
