I can understand the animosity of some that think that the pageant results may be rigged or at least tainted. Preferential treatment may be alloted to some over others. When watching the pageant as a pretend judge, none of that mattered to me. I was there critiquing the pageant based on what I observed without any preconceived notion of any of the delegates or their history or relationship with BOC. I had selected 9 of the top 10, and all 5 of the top 5 solely based on each delegate's performance on that evening. I wasn't influenced by reputation, but I was impressed by all who made it to the top 5 final. -- Canadian Pageant Fans' HQ

Anyone could have won, and it was up to the final question to sort it all out as far as I was concerned. Does exposure to other pageants give an unfair advantage? Sure does, no one disagrees with that. In reality, any beauty pageant really is an extremely glorified interview process for a job that only lasts 1 year. And like any interview process, the more practice that you acquire and get, the more prepared you are to do well. Does that necessarily mean that you will win? Well it does give you an advantage, so I do agree with that point that my fellow posters make. (NT) mitch 18:54:26 04/30/08 Wed
