Perhaps you and I are not on the same page when it comes to the term "Amazon." I consider Amazon a supreme compliment. It is used in the fashion industry to describe tall, statuesque, super models. It does not mean weight, at least to me. In regard to mentioning her weight, I'm not saying anything that multiple people have pointed out, and in the scheme of things, it was probably the list points in fitness that kept her out of the 10. I'm am speaking in terms of how a coach would coach an athlete. This was meant as constructive criticism and it was backed up with plenty of praise. Keelie knows what she needs to do, and I doubt her skin is that thin after competing so long. She just needs to make a few minor tweaks when she gets ready to come back. And yes, her Amazonian stature makes her stand out above every one else onstage, which in a pageant, is a good thing. -- Unofficial Miss NC Messageboard

In reply to: 's message, "You say you don’t say hurtful things here but what is helpful or kind about pointing out she’s gained weight? I would imagine she’s aware of her own body. And why refer to her as Amazon.. that’s not kind either. You say you know Jesus but I can’t imagine the Jesus I know saying those things even if they are “true”. HP could very well get a NF talent award and depending on which group she lands in after lottery could determine her potential for top 10. There are several other vocalist who will most likely beat her in talent including two that haven’t won yet but they will. Hopefully her committee will steer her away from them in the groups ( after many years of doing this I completely believe it matters where you land in groups for prelims)" on 08:06:58 12/16/25 Tue
