I have heard and read so many complaints, accusations, and ruuuumors regarding the Texas USA circuit. I am curious as to what is really being thought about our Texas prelims and State pageant. I have heard many say that Texas is rigged from prelim to state. I have heard that you have to be part of the "in" crowd to get anywhere (like good old Jr. High) smh. I have heard that NOB is taking Mel's spot. I have heard that certain sponsors cater to certain ladies and make others pay larger amounts for their services. I have heard that judges are friends of the prelim directors and are coaxed to pick certain ladies. Oh and the granddaddy of them all (drum roll please) IT'S ALL RIGGED. I can't even count how many times I've heard that. Sooooo do you want to talk about it or get something off your chest? This thread was created for you!

[> Subject: I was a friend of a prelim director and was asked to judge, and was told absolutely nothing about anyone in the pageant. I don't believe that one.

[> [> Subject: I agree. I don't buy into that either. I would yes that I'm sure directors have their favorites but it is very hard for me to think that they would jeopardize their business, themselves and the system's integrity just to get a favorite in that job. I really don't buy into any of this....I think a majority of these are started by disgruntled competitors or family. I say go out there and have fun! If you win you win, if not then take a piece of your experience, learn from it and come back next year!

[> [> Subject: Agree somewhat, but having the chance to compete and possibly win a local title is much cheaper and also an honor. Their trip to TXUSA basically is covered,

[> [> Subject: I don't really agree with everyone going "At-Large". If you win a prelim then your fees are paid for Texas plus you get wonderful prizes and amazing opportunities! I say go for it! Compete in a prelim! It also gives you a chance to prepare for Texas and meet possible new friends and sponsors. Go for that local title

[> [> [> Subject: Some of these local pageants cost lot of money.. Entry fee, Hair / makeup that weekend could cost 1G and then 3 days hotel on top of that. A local pageant can cost well over 3-4G

[> Subject: Some prelims are amazing to compete in. Others are mediocre. One lucky girl will get the chance to represent others who don't win need to find sponsors to compete in Texas
