Every state pageant I've competed in has had the current/former titleholders mentor the contestants. The ones that got more attention were the ones that asked questions and asked for help. Ive never thought of it as favoritism or cheating until the formers/currents tell a contestant they won't coach or help them. I don't see any difference here except the accusations that she was chosen based on st Jude fundraising. -- Miss Volunteer America Pageant

[> Subject: As a contestant backstage, I can tell you that some of these simply are rumors. I do not know as far as coaching goes, but Utah never talked about the KnutzenÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s unless asked about her dress. From what I understand Melissa is on her board, so that may have been where coaching came from? At the end of the day there can only be one winner, so while there may be 7 girls that would be wonderful titleholders, Lauren still was so deserving.
