With the pageant a month out, what do you hope the pageant will bring this year?

Here is my list:
* A beautiful winner who is a dynamic speaker

* An actual production.
Not the same one we have seen each of the Robin years

* NEW HOSTS

*Preliminary Judges who are prepared & interested

* Winners getting the money they win

* Contestant's schedules and meals being better planned.

a bigger venue with cheaper tickets so more could attend.I watched and it felt like a hotel convention center stage and show. The contestants are great and should get the scholarships without problems. (NT) KML

SPLIT TALENT UP AGAIN. All talent in one night has to skew scores in some way. It is such a long show (NT) No name

Of course it does. I even believe that placement mattered back when they were split into 3 groups. As an audience member I simply cannot fathom sitting through 51 talents, back to back. No matter how good. In addition, I 've also found myself getting antsy at locals that have 15-20 talents. I can't imagine what those judges must be feeling. I would assume they would start tuning out after the first 30. Whoever the production director is that suggested this madness must be a complete amateur at producing stage shows.

So are you saying you do not enjoy the middle to end of concerts? All the talents are not the same, so there is some variety. Just curious (NT) -- No name, 13:34:03 08/12/25 Tue (NoHost/128.163.239.178)

It would have to be a very mesmerizing entertainer to keep my attention focused for that long. Someone like a Streisand or some show with lots of effects. I'm assuming with intros and everything else this talent night drags on for 3 hours or more. I'm sure I'm not the only ADD person out there and I'm also pretty sure that after about 30 talent acts a couple of judges are about to chew their paw off to get out of there. Do they do this in alphabetical order? (NT) -- No name, 22:46:02 08/12/25 Tue (126.sub-174-238-105.myvzw.com/174.238.105.126)

Decided to look this up & compare competition order to who made the top 11. They compete in lottery order for interview & talent. 10/11 miss semi-finalists were in the second half of the show. 9 of the 11 teen semi-finalists went in the second half of their show as well. Will be interesting to see if the pattern follows this year. (NT) -- No name, 22:41:27 08/13/25 Wed (NoHost/165.225.58.23)

Robin doesn't care. It's a business; rules are just a bother to her. Look at PA where contestants had restraining orders against a bully contestant, and it didn't matter one bit to Robin. (NT) -- No name, 13:34:56 08/12/25 Tue (a172-226-168-229.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com/172.226.168.229)

Winner will be someone with a story MAO can use as a way to get press. (NT) No name

Did she have a story? (NT) -- No name, 18:55:03 08/12/25 Tue (23.29.80.195.bbc.net/23.29.80.195)

Not really, but she had a semi famous boyfriend that they've ran up the flagpole every chance they get. (NT) -- No name, 22:47:05 08/12/25 Tue (126.sub-174-238-105.myvzw.com/174.238.105.126)

LOL and no one even knew about him till she won. (NT) -- No name, 08:45:58 08/13/25 Wed (NoHost/128.163.239.178)

Agree. No more HERStory. (NT) -- No name, 06:45:10 08/13/25 Wed (NoHost/69.250.36.194)

The clappers get a cash/scholarship money. IIRC, only those winning prelims and/or finalists get anything anymore. (NT) No name

That will never happen now that it's for profit. (NT) -- No name, 10:32:11 08/13/25 Wed (NoHost/162.10.132.45)

I went last year and dreaded the talent competition with everyone competing. I actually enjoyed it. Vim not saying I would prefer it this way but it moved much faster than I thought it would. Teen talent then a break. Then Miss Talent. It was easy to judge. (NT) No name
