Subject: Just to clarify two things, 1) Davia didn’t do the CMNH fundraising, crazy number of ad pages, or get sponsors and won. Since you wanted an example. 2) they only score the top 10, they don’t even score the top 15 in the first phase of competition. It’s the top 10 that is decided before the pageant, and then they add the next 5 highest scores to make a 15. But they are not actually scored. This is national as well.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: This would also explain why you would low ball certain girls or rig a pageant to keep the best talents from advancing to top 10. Because it was televised. Think about like this: If you want a certain outcome, and willing to do what it takes to get it, would you not have done, what appears to be a rigged pageant. No one in the top 10 represented the best talented well rounded candidates. Even, Sarah Floyd was not the best talent in her group. I guess she and Ashley Byrd both being from the same town had NOTHING to do with it?
