Hardly anyone wants anything to do with it. It needs a clean sweep. People have been saying this for years and nothing ever changes. (NT) -- No name, 07:58:28 04/22/24 Mon (NoHost/108.147.2.124)

Maybe there could have last minute addition like Mackenzie Kern that she did win in WY last year. (NT) No name

46 colleges in Connecticut. 8 county's. Really think every College everwhere should have a delegate, its a scholarship pageant. (NT) No name

But that's just it-- it's no longer a scholarship pageant; it's an 'opportunity', of which a select few will receive-- not 'announced', not 'offered', not 'awarded', but receive a scholarship. (NT) -- No name, 10:41:39 04/23/24 Tue (static-68-235-44-59.cust.tzulo.com/68.235.44.59)
college girls can't afford to run in a pageant for the most part (NT) -- No name, 14:16:39 04/23/24 Tue (24-230-100-124-static.midco.net/24.230.100.124)

I just can't imagine a state pageant with only 4 contestants. It doesn't pay to go through all the effort of staging the pageant. Can't believe the attendance would be all that great, either. Thankfully, our state doesn't have that problem. (NT) No name

From what I’ve seen & heard, the board just doesn’t have the time & effort to put into it. Contestants, volunteers, and support has dwindled down to almost nothing. Former contestants and supporters are alienated & ignored (even if they’ve previously raised thousands for the organization). The same families are always involved and have a heavy influence on the organization. It’s just not a welcoming organization if you are not on their good side. It’s a shame that it’s gotten so bad.

Tale as old as time in the MAO- a small, power hungry group who likes to feel important (and hide any shenanigans) by controlling who's in and who's out, ignores and alienates new blood asking to volunteer. Yet, that same state board isn't doing anything to expand the program- they get to go to Miss America every year, no matter who wins. That causes the quality of scholarships, sponsors, and contestants to degrade as the state board is more interested in themselves than the program. After yearsss of not being held accountable, they end up with 4 contestants in their state pageant. (NT) -- I wonder how much they were charging at-large..., 11:05:52 04/23/24 Tue (bhs4.nux.net/167.114.175.21)

It’s obvious that the direction that Robin is taking MAO is not one that girls are interested in (NT) No name

This is a CT issue, not an MAO issue. (NT) -- No name, 15:22:53 04/23/24 Tue (107-128-0-95.lightspeed.snantx.sbcglobal.net/107.128.0.95)

Or CT is just the first to show this issue. (NT) -- No name, 16:35:06 04/23/24 Tue (NoHost/107.123.1.129)

No, it’s been declining for years (NT) -- No name, 21:00:23 04/23/24 Tue (NoHost/108.147.2.124)

Miss Idaho had 4 contestants last year so quit acting like this has not happened before. Been the case for ages for small states. (NT) No name

Doesn't WY always only have 3-4 contestants. It's hard to believe in a state as geographically big as WY that would be the case. They need to change the title to Miss Wyoming Tumbleweed. (NT) -- No name, 17:01:48 04/23/24 Tue (syn-065-188-072-061.wifi.spectrum.com/65.188.72.61)

Wyoming is the least populated state, its numbers make sense. But Connecticut having more than triple its population and the same amount of girls? That’s an internal issue. (NT) -- No name, 18:51:43 04/23/24 Tue (ehsclark504.e.subnet.rcn.com/207.237.144.43)

I'm not a big fan of being an anonymous message board critic, but I am curious why it appears their current titleholder is making no appearances. Their Instagram is mainly headshots or posed photos. Is she unwilling to get out and do the work? Or is the board failing to promote her and book appearances? I'd love to know what's going on because it wasn't all that many years ago that Miss CT was regularly traveling the state to promote the program, going on radio shows and morning TV programs. What's happening? (NT) No name
