While I will say she’s very beautiful, it does take the fun out of following prior to the pageant." on 11/ 6/19 5:04:21am

I don’t know about all of them. I do feel the judges get an over detailed description by the board of who or what they want. (I.e if they want a black woman with curly hair to win, they will definitely tell them that; or a blonde with blue eyes, army soldier, whatever). Same goes for locals. If a state board is in cahoots with a local, they will tell the judges to eye them. Or if a certain family has been involved with the system for many years, it may just be natural for the judges to know who they are, especially if they are familiar with the pageant world. People can contradict me or not. But that is how I have been feeling for the past few years, and that won’t change for now. It hasn’t always been like that... Yes, MUO might be far better than MAO now, but I still think not much greatness has come out of IMG taking over. Just shocking Teen & Miss USA winners and some great Universe winners that have been poorly marketed.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Maybe some are, but I judged at Texas and I’m telling you, here at least, they are not. I was told to pick someone I could see not only as Miss Texas, but as Miss USA or Miss Universe. I was also told to pick the best overall girl, and that they must have a great swimsuit figure because while they can fix a bad gown or an ugly hair color, there’s not enough time to get someone in Miss USA shape in a few months. There you have it folks, that’s what the judges are told. They are also not allowed to discuss the girls.
