Interesting. The judges may not have been present, but they don't live in a bubble - they can't help having seen this in the media. It definitely would (and should) influence their scoring - but obviously wouldn't fall into any of the official 'judging' categories. How would they deal with it? Just food for thought. -- Canadian Pageant Fans' HQ

Im sure she feels sorry, but still, what kind of comparison is that...seriously, especially here in Canada, with all the diversity that we have. Also, not that bright of her considering that some of her fellow contestants were born Africa...There is nothing wrong to say that you don;t want to look anorexic, but there was no point to compare it to what she said.
