Subject: Post-prelim Top 15 picks
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Fri June 21, 2024 23:52:28 This one is still too close to call...and I don't think prelims will count for much in the end. That said, here are who I have in the 15 based on prelim performance. The "Shoo-ins": South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, Missouri, California (and this could be top 5 as far as I'm concerned). The "Good bets": Mississippi, Tennessee, Arizona, Alabama, Connecticut The "Reasonable chances": Nebraska (would love to see her talent again), Washington, Texas, Georgia, New Mexico, North Carolina, Massachusettes, Florida, Kentucky, Minnesota [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I see nothing wrong with this list and love that you have a few dark horses in there. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 23:58:33 Only thing I would swap AZ in the top 5 for MO. AZ has been strong and hitting across the board, I didn’t like MO evening gown today and felt it was a miss when put up alongside the other girls gowns (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 00:20:25 MO’s dress was pretty, but the slit hit in a weird spot and threw the rest off. But she’s been consistent even if not a top performer so I wonder how she’ll place (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 00:23:33 Can’t believe MO didn’t make the 15 (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 23:43:48 There were quite a few girls who should have made too 15 who didn’t. It’s obvious the judges had a certain type they were told to look for. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 23:49:59 Oh I loved it! After a while, all the glitter gowns start looking the same. I thought MO's gown was elegant and really revealed the girl in the dress, not the girl wearing 35 pounds of AB crystals and bugle beads. :-) (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 00:25:07 I would add OR and OH to reasonable chances, good list (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 00:49:49 I could also see OH making top 15, but not OR. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 18:04:24 OH’s talent was amazing, so I would definitely add her to the top 15. But not OR, talent wasn’t very good and didn’t care for her evening gown either. But she was very energetic. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 18:10:24 There will be some surprises. Agree with some of the above. We know they go with 15 then cut. AL CA FL GA ID MN MS NE NY ND PA SC TN VA WA (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 11:42:11 TN, SC, PA, CO, AZ, CN, WA, FL, AL, TX, NY, CA, KY, MS, LA (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 14:14:35 I know a lot of folks have MS on the list but y’all her talent….🤔 (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 14:33:30 MS had no talent last year either and that didn’t stop her from winning (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 14:58:02 Yeah and I think it set the program back as girls watching and others were left scratching their heads. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 16:47:03 I’d say the top 5 last year (besides whoever the pianist was) didn’t have any strong talent so I don’t think that’ll hold any girl back if she can make up for it in pretty points in other categories (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 15:21:55 Love NY (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 16:11:29 If they just want pretty then change the %’s. If talent is going to be an afterthought make it 10%. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 16:48:55 This!!! (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 18:27:18

Did she give up her volunteer title already? (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 11:27:01 Yes, she was from the previous year (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 09:26:31

Subject: Disappointed in this organization
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Thu June 20, 2024 11:24:23 Am I the only one that feels a little let down by this organization? When we started I was so hopeful that this organization would be more like the MAO of the past. So many of our states do amazing things but at the national level the only thing we see our girl doing really is photoshoots beautiful clothing and going to pageants. Where is the service aspect? We need do better if we are going to compete with other organizations. Please let this be the year that our national is more than just a pretty face. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Disappointed, no. It’s still a bit early. I’d like to see all states with a director and better production at the national level. It took 97 years to build up MAO and three for it to fall. Baby steps. Meanwhile, nationals needs to focus on message, hire a strong PR team, production company, and focus on the aired show as the future of Miss Volunteer is watching. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 00:04:38 Completely agree. Why partner with St. Jude’s and preach service if your national titleholder won’t do more than maybe 2 appearances relating to service. Call it what it is, Miss USA with a talent category. If they want that to change they should: actually have an emphasis on service, give half decent scholarships to anyone besides the winner, and figure out their branding.

100% Agree, and gown went to North Carolina (NT) -- No name, Wed June 19, 2024 23:29:19 NC was very elegant and classy. Swim could have gone to a few others also but TN definitely had the vibe. Talent there was no touching NY. (NT) -- No name, Wed June 19, 2024 23:53:50 These winners were right on! The judges and production value are amazing this year! (NT) -- No name, Wed June 19, 2024 23:43:21 Gown for me was between SC and Mississippi. Both are beautiful. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 00:43:01 Gown was a tie between NC, SC, and Mississippi, for me. All three were breathtakingly gorgeous in their own way. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 07:19:32 Top gowns NC, SC, MS (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 07:45:23 NC and SC and MS being beautiful! For me SC was just a step above on stage!

Talent: NY, WA (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 11:36:35 NC & SC gowns were 😍 (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 14:36:25 NC won gown. It was wow moment with how it caught the light.

(NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 16:24:34 Talent and Swimsuit winners were correct. NC won gown.

I also liked PA and CA in SS; NC, SC and NE in gown. NY was straight 10s in talent - soooo good! I don't remember much of else except I thought MA's monologue was powerful and thought MO was a very pleasing performer. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 17:37:42
