Subject: I have a question....why is it only specific ladies are talked about when there are so many great ladies competing? I personally would love to see someone new win. I am tired of seeing all the talk about the same 5 women especially if a couple of those are very rude and snobby. I do like Hannah J. though. She seems to be a lovely young lady with depth.

[> [> Subject: It's because you only have a handful of regular posters here and they are all longtime Texas pageant followers. Author: They don't see that there are new girls who have the regulars beat by a long shot, especially given the recent "controversy".

[> [> [> Subject: For example, look what happened at TX teen usa this year. Everyone was talking about highland park( hunt girl), Anjuli , Kemah, etc. and look what happened. They surprised everyone. I never even heard people talking about 90% of that top 5 and those girls were a perfect top 5! Author: They want smart ladies with personality and REAL GIRLS!

[> [> [> [> Subject: Flynn, the new Teen winner, was talked about a lot prior to winning......... Author: Well deserved but letting you know, it shouldn't matter if they competed for a long time or just step foot on a stage for the first time, best one should win but usually a veteran anyway [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01/ 3/18 3:35:39pm [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Flynn also was 4th and 2nd runner up. All she needed to do was grow up. What’s wrong with girls competing year after year? Each year they get stronger!!

[> [> [> Subject: Then you bring up the new girls who you think have a better chance at the crown. Author: It takes one to swim away and the rest to follow [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01/ 3/18 4:11:33pm [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: It’s not a better chance at the Texas crown. It’s finding a girl who is ready to compete at the National level. It will be a veteran because they have the experience it takes to compete on the USA stage. Author: They all start as a newbies!

[> [> Subject: Click in. Author: Mel (Melinda) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01/ 5/18 4:51:50pm For the most part, I don't think that the same names popping up on the boards have anything to do with cliques, but I do think that the other responses carry a bit of truth in them towards answering your initial question. I don't claim to be a regular poster, super knowledgeable about a lot of the contestants, or keep stats on state or national placements, but it does appear that those that have competed more than once tend to do better. It used to be uncommon for a complete newbie to snag the title, and it's resulted in a lot of mixed....results/observations....whether on the national stage or as a representative of our great state. (Not meant to stir up anything from the past or present.) As others pointed out, a lot of the ladies that consistently make it into Top 15 and continue to progress towards Top 5 have been on people's radars throughout the years and have evolved throughout that time. Even the perceived "favorites" started off somewhere, even though we may not be aware of it right away. But who else may we be missing? I think a lot of us would be interested to know about potential high performer contestants, even if their names are not brought up until after the Miss pageant's finals tomorrow.
