Nicole Linder is the new Miss DC Volunteer. She’s previously competed for DC MAO (NT) -- No name, Sun February 25, 2024 23:59:10 Mary Kohaut is also the new Miss CA Volunteer on that same time as DC (NT) -- No name, Fri March 01, 2024 22:04:57 Big fan of AJ from Missouri. She could definitely place high this year. (NT) -- No name, Tue March 19, 2024 19:01:44 Love her! Would love to see her do well. (NT) -- No name, Thu April 11, 2024 13:06:41 Any thoughts on Arkansas? Was on Toddlers and Tiaras, then tried the USA system. (NT) -- Her mom, or maybe Cassadee, was a coach on the Cheer TV show?, Tue March 19, 2024 20:53:53 MI is Lys Taddei. She competed in CO MAO before and I believe some system in NV recently. (NT) -- No name, Fri April 12, 2024 14:10:11 I don’t think she ever placed in CO even when it was small (NT) -- No name, Sat April 13, 2024 20:22:13 Mi -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 01:06:38 I hate the fact that she has absolutely no tie to Michigan and will do nothing for the program in that state. Just further proof that this is a business for Allison and truly does not care that much about who she gets to be on stage as long as the fees are paid to do so.e (NT) -- No name, Mon June 24, 2024 20:29:35 Mi placed 1 ru in Nv -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 01:09:02 I thought I saw that Miss NY Volunteer is Cassie Donagan. former Miss VAOT and 4th ru at that year's National Pageant. She will probably sing a Broadway song and has an incredible voice! (NT) -- Cant wait to see her talent., Sun April 21, 2024 18:20:52 Her talent ATE! It was incredible!

Subject: Observations from a has-been…
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun June 23, 2024 00:43:22 Former MAO titleholder here with no skin in the game; just some thoughts because I’ve always loved pageants. This was my first time watching the Volunteer pageant and prelims and hoped it would be different than MAO or some of the others. I judged from my couch and was very surprised at the Top 16. Even more surprised at the Top 10 based on some of the “talent.” Had the winner picked from Night 3, so no surprise there. Some things that are concerning (for all pageants now) include the thinness of these girls and the revealing gowns. Several of the girls tonight were INCREDIBLY thin. I get being in shape because I had to do it too when competing, but it’s really getting out of hand. Some of these girls don’t look healthy AT ALL. New Mexico was my favorite in Fitness/Wellness because she looked shapely, natural, and healthy. The winner tonight looked disturbingly thin to me, but I guess it could’ve been the livestream distorting her physique. These girls employing trainers to fit a certain standard is not what pageantry was intended to promote. And these gowns aren’t even gowns anymore. They just remind me of Fitness/Wellness all over again with some extra fabric. Where is the distinction between the categories? I’m so bored with the hip-high slits and the ultra revealing designs. I was glad to see New York’s gown actually look like an evening gown. Please understand I’m under 30 and am not a modest dresser, but come on y’all. Some of these girls look overly mature and dare I say less-than-elegant just by their gown choices. When are we going back to class, elegance, and natural beauties, the timeless titleholders?

10000% agree. I’d rather see a bigger girl than see someone look sickly. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 00:52:27 i agree the gowns these days are just ugly/ Contestants are too thin They do not look healthy and it seems that they wear gowns that try to show as much skin as possible and they look cheap and tacky (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 01:23:35 This pageant was a glorified state pageant. Did not feel like nationals. They have a lot of work to do. -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 01:31:52 I’m going to cut them a little slack with only being 3 yrs old. Hard to be at a level they looked to be composited to given the established history of other systems. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 07:39:16 Commenting on someone being TOO thin is just the same as saying that someone is TOO big. The SIZE has nothing to do with this competition and saying either is what shouldn't be said! Please no comments about weight! (NT) -- No name, Mon June 24, 2024 18:10:02 THANK YOU.

Thank you! (NT) -- No name, Sun April 10, 2022 22:22:14 MAO girls in MVA -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 19:16:51 ZERO. Only Berkley Bryant was the former competed in Vol being a former SC Teen OT 2018. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 19:37:46 WA Vol was Miss WA 2021 (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 19:52:12 CO was 4th RU to Miss Colorado America in 2023, and OH was 1st RU to Miss Ohio America in 2021. Does anyone know if NE or FL did MAO? (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 20:18:51 Miss Maryland Volunteer was Miss Maryland America 2022. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 21:12:12 NY was a former VA Outstanding Teen and placed top 5 at MAOT, won talent and won outstanding vocal award her year (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 21:45:45

Subject: How many appearances did the outgoing national winner and Miss SC make together earlier this year? How many did SC put on her social media? Listen pageant lovers, Allison and Jane know how to rig a pageant. They have had years of experience in Jackson.

Hate much? So sick of the allegations on this board with zero proof. Go crawl back under the rock you sane from and leave folks alone. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 17:59:25 If you are sick, then do not read it. Articles on mental health tell you how and why people crave attention. No one is hating. They are telling you the truth about the ones you worship. Her money bring emptiness. She still craves the stage and needs applause at her age. -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 18:42:23

Subject: MVA
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun June 23, 2024 12:46:14 For those young ladies who have been overlooked or have hit a brick wall in other systems….give MVA a try! Don’t read into the negativity that the sour grape bunch post on here. You don’t have to be the top of every category to be seen in MVA because every category counts the same. That is why you see the confusion because you have to understand how the scoring works! Don’t be scared to step out and try something new!!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I agree, people don’t understand the judging process of this system. MAO no longer selects contestants based on looks. However, MVA does. You have to be extremely fit for SS and look good in evening gown. If you’re overweight or not very pretty, you’re not going to score well. I hate to be blunt, but that’s the reality of this system. And your community service really does not matter, except to possibly affect interview, which no one but the judges see. The bottom line is, If you’re not in perfect shape but have talent, then do MAO. If you look great, but don’t have talent, do USA. If you look great AND are somewhat talented, do MVA. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 13:24:43 I think of it a bit differently. If you can score high in 2 categories, I think you can get into the top 15. Scoring high in 3, gets you top 10, possibly top 5. If you are consistent across all categories, you are top 5 (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 14:20:26 I disagree. There were a number of girls who did very well in 2-3 categories who didn’t make it into the top 15. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 14:25:39 But it’s up to the judges. Not the arm chair quarterbacks. And none of us saw interview and none of us know the composite scores. I’ve seen a lot of folks upset over a couple of girls. If you go back and look, they might have been super strong in one category but in all honesty fell in the others. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 14:44:35

Subject: South Carolina wins Miss Volunteer America 2025
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun June 23, 2024 00:46:09 She is blonde, an alumna of Clemson University and a former Miss South Carolina Outstanding Teen 2018. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I think she's beautiful and her tap dance was good. She made the Top 9 at Miss America's Outstanding Teen. She was also 1st RU at Miss South Carolina and T5 another year too and she was Clemson's Homecoming Queen and on the dance team there. Not a shock to me at all that she won.

Subject: ???
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun June 23, 2024 11:05:21 I’m sure every girl is a great girl but I’m seriously confused about the top 15/10? Some of the girls that made it were completely underwhelming in stage presence — which is obviously what Allison is wanting… I personally think New Mexico and Kansas were robbed. Both were put together, great wardrobes and stood out all week. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Totally agree. Think OH should have been in the top 15 too. That girl needs to try out for America’s Got Talent. She could go very far, i.e. Darci Lynne. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 11:18:15 If you are trying to judge this based on MAO or USA scoring, you will remain confused. It’s a different scoring system where all things are equal. Which means you can theoretically win 3 categories (or maybe even two) and still grab a top spot. Learn and understand the scoring before you bash a system that is helping girls achieve their dreams. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 11:21:36 I get the scoring… -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 13:15:56 I understand the scoring — 25% across the board. Top 10 determined after prelims but top 15/ 12 announced for production purposes. There were girls who were very consistently strong in all phases onstage that didn’t make the 15. It’s pageantry, it happens, but it’s a bummer to see. You can’t deny there was a certain look that was continually rewarded. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 13:17:10

Subject: What were the ticket prices for prelims and the finals? How much were program books?
