Subject Author Date And West (NT) No name (syn-050-089-070-070.res.spectrum.com/50.89.70.70) 11:02:09 05/07/26 Thu Because we are witnessing the downfall of Miss America as we know it. They have nothing to offer and are going broke. They make most of their money from contestants. This is not a historical moment at all LMAO. You’re moving from Orlando to west beach… okay? And? (NT) No name (NoHost/71.26.47.97) 11:39:34 05/07/26 Thu Agreed. In my opinion , at least make a HISTORIC move . Like an inclusive eligibility requirement , broadcast network , partnership. Something other than just moving to a different location and calling it historic. It has been done before. (NT) -- No name, 12:20:49 05/07/26 Thu (syn-067-009-056-197.res.spectrum.com/67.9.56.197) I am neutral on this announcement. I thought the set up in Orlando was not great. The theater was in downtown Orlando and the host hotel was about 15 miles out, towards Kissimmee area. There was a lot of exhaustive schlepping back and forth. If this new venue is connected to the host hotel, then it will be an easier logistical event to manage. But I certainly wouldn't call it historic or overly strategic. (NT) No name (NoHost/159.100.209.51) 12:33:22 05/07/26 Thu If this is historic for Miss America then they are SOL. Miss USA has surpassed America in every way. Volunteer is on the way to do so as well. (NT) -- No name, 12:50:56 05/07/26 Thu (NoHost/71.26.47.97) I disagree with the statement "Miss USA has surpassed America in every way". While MAO has major issues, Miss USA is an even bigger sh**show. My ultimate hope is that Volunteer acquires MAO so that we don't have two similar systems competing against each other. (NT) -- No name, 12:53:37 05/07/26 Thu (NoHost/159.100.209.51) Oh please no. We don't need the Allison show every year. She's just as bad as Gretchen, just in a different way (NT) -- No name, 16:40:45 05/07/26 Thu (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) Allison has the good sense to move behind the scenes when it's running smoothly. (NT) -- No name, 17:03:49 05/07/26 Thu (NoHost/66.45.113.13) That's YOUR opinion, but having two over-lapping pageant systems with talent and platform is just watering down the contestant pool. And you many not like Allison, but I'm not convinced that Robin is the answer either. And we still don't know how this ownership lawsuit of Miss America is going to turn out. At least with Volunteer, there's no dispute over who owns and runs it. (NT) -- No name, 17:06:03 05/07/26 Thu (NoHost/159.100.209.51) Yes, it's my opinion and your opinion is your opinion. See how that works? (NT) -- No name, 18:23:43 05/07/26 Thu (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) It will always be the Allison show. Volunteer is embarrassing and no one outside the pageant world even knows it exist. It’s cringe worthy at best (NT) -- No name, 17:51:33 05/07/26 Thu (39.newark-15rh15rt.nj.dial-access.att.net/12.75.217.39) Everything about Allison is cringe-worthy (NT) -- No name, 18:24:22 05/07/26 Thu (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) And parading those kids out like they’re some remarkable talents, they are NOT. (NT) -- No name, 20:29:22 05/07/26 Thu (NoHost/172.56.17.156) Lord, are you bitter. It's a campy beauty pageant, which is why I LOVE it. Allison is a class act & puts on a PHENOMENAL old school pageant where the girls are celebrated. (NT) -- No name, 13:12:47 05/08/26 Fri (NoHost/146.75.129.135) Thom is at least trying to turn the USA/Teen USA pageants around. And he’s come a long way from Laylah. I know the owners of the MUO and that run Miss Universe are a mess, but I’m glad that Thom seems to be doing well by his pageants. Hoping next year we can have directors and state pageants for all state pageants again. (NT) -- No name, 21:36:44 05/07/26 Thu (NoHost/74.254.145.143) Oh please. Thom isn’t any better. Now that there is information coming out about him possibly hijacking Miss USA and running it without even completing the process with Miss Universe. He’s being sued left and right as we speak. (NT) -- No name, 21:01:34 05/09/26 Sat (NoHost/172.56.68.24) maybe the historic part is the toe dip in the Atlantic the next morning? (NT) KML (24-230-142-219-dynamic.midco.net/24.230.142.219) 17:08:38 05/07/26 Thu I'm surprised no one has mentioned the date. It's on Sunday of Labor Day weekend. Almost for sure it won't be televised. If it is, expect no one to watch (NT) No name (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) 08:25:32 05/08/26 Fri The VOLUNTEER system may be embarrising to some, however, keep in mind the BOTH TESS and CASSIE competing in and were TOP 5 in that system. Wasn't so embarrasing for them at the time. (NT) No name (136-32-197-127.googlefiber.net/136.32.197.127) 10:13:59 05/08/26 Fri And? (NT) -- No name, 00:25:42 05/09/26 Sat (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) Apparently the contestants will do talent in one venue and Finals in another one. Just like in CT that one year, and MO had to twirl in the dark because there were no rehearsals (NT) No name (108-239-242-250.lightspeed.stlsmo.sbcglobal.net/108.239.242.250) 22:42:20 05/08/26 Fri the first year in FL, talent was held at a different venue and technically speaking, there were no slip ups when transitioning into finals (NT) -- No name, 08:22:15 05/09/26 Sat (NoHost/76.159.18.101) Prelims & teen finals in a theater, miss finals in the convention center, per today's email -- No name, 12:42:47 05/10/26 Sun (NoHost/73.240.126.176) Both venues are beautiful and will accommodate the contestants and audience comfortably (NT) No name (42.sub-174-228-165.myvzw.com/174.228.165.42) 21:09:53 05/10/26 Sun obviously you have never sat on the floor at a venue with a couple of thousand people to look over (NT) -- No name, 11:42:29 05/11/26 Mon (108-239-242-250.lightspeed.stlsmo.sbcglobal.net/108.239.242.250)
