Subject: Miss Florida Teen Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02:21:33 06/29/25 Sun Author Host/IP: customer.mmmiflx1.pop.starlinkisp.net/129.222.135.241 I have been a fan of Teen candidate Larkin Mainwaring for years, I have met her a few times, and she is nothing but gracious, humble, and kind. And not to mention incredibly talented. I’m not sure what happened, but watching her walk the stage in parade of gowns made me hurt for her, such a gifted and kind human. Florida missed out on this young lady in my opinion. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Clearly something went sour, she went from winning talent prelims and multiple top 5 placements, including 1st r/u, to not making top 14 (NT) No name (NoHost/104.28.123.103) 16:45:15 07/03/25 Thu I know some people hypothesize she didnt place well following her behavior losing last year; however, watching her OSQ it didnt feel like she was being her authentic self, and if her interview was similar I think she was trying too hard to win and wasnt just being herself. (NT) No name (c-73-7-5-44.hsd1.ga.comcast.net/73.7.5.44) 21:19:54 07/03/25 Thu Thanks for that perspective, I didn’t see any of the teen competition but even if she struggled in interview, with her looks and talent it is still shocking. We all know though that interview is the actual make or break though because if the judges don’t connect with you, it will reflect in all future scoring (NT) -- No name, 21:45:18 07/03/25 Thu (NoHost/104.28.123.99) Miss Florida Teen -- No name, 00:30:03 07/05/25 Sat (customer.mmmiflx1.pop.starlinkisp.net/98.97.167.111) She won overall talent so she couldn’t have been bad in interview or they would have given it to the excellent dancer who made Top 5.

(NT) -- No name, 13:17:53 07/04/25 Fri (NoHost/100.17.37.204) Miss Florida Teen -- No name, 00:36:09 07/05/25 Sat (customer.mmmiflx1.pop.starlinkisp.net/98.97.167.111) Following the pageant she ignored everyone, other contestants, staff, etc people that were congratulating her and trying to console her were brushed off. But she also had a lot of drama with the winner. It is pretty standard that the ED hears about all the tea from his winners and I remember being shocked she even returned after last year. She also deleted all MAO association from her social media after losing like the title from her bio. This year she didnt come out for all girls doing fitness after not making finals. She did come out for parade of gowns and to collect her preliminaries scholarship but overall she did not handle losing well the past two years. (NT) -- No name, 08:43:02 07/05/25 Sat (c-73-7-5-44.hsd1.ga.comcast.net/73.7.5.44) I know Ireland and she was close with Larkin Mainwaring. Even stated this year during competition week that they were close and had grown a connection for being on team Orlando together. Their was never drama between the two. (NT) -- No name, 14:07:20 07/05/25 Sat (customer.mmmiflx1.pop.starlinkisp.net/98.97.167.111) You must not know Ireland very well because last season (Ireland winning) she and Larkin were at odds with eachother and not close. Ireland was very hurt by Larkin after she won and Larkin was unresponsive. (NT) -- No name, 16:05:28 07/05/25 Sat (65-122-114-38.clients.gthost.com/38.114.122.65) Let’s remind ourselves that we are talking about teenage girls here. Ever think that maybe Larkin distanced herself from the organization last year out of pain or for mental wellbeing. I know a few people who have done the same in the past and that doesn’t make them bad people. (NT) -- No name, 19:05:03 07/05/25 Sat (142.sub-174-211-162.myvzw.com/174.211.162.142) I dont think anyone is saying she is a bad person, just explaining how her behavior was perceived and probably then weaponized leading to her poor placement. (NT) -- No name, 19:33:16 07/05/25 Sat (160-36-111-172.clients.gthost.com/172.111.36.160) Last year Larkin removed herself from our group chat as soon as she left the stage and cut all ties with everyone. This year she tried to leave mid show because she did not make finals.

Sounds more like you’re either one of the problem contestants or her mama! Also, you’re clearly not that committed to honoring the unwritten rules set forth or you wouldn’t be on here posting (NT) -- No name, 23:32:54 07/17/25 Thu (NoHost/104.28.124.92) I definitely never saw where she was a bad sport, just a human with emotions. The year after she was 1st Runner Up, when she was allegedly a bad sport theirs photos of her running to hug the winner with a big smile and comments from her congratulating the winner.
