Let's take a look at some FACTS...
The contestants on stage were obviously cleared and approved to compete! So this competition has rules and they are to follow these rules & guidelines, however, shouldn't there be the same expectations for everyone else involved? (Directors, Staff, Judge's, Sponsors, etc.)
Any ONE judge that has ANY type of affiliation with ANY contestant should NOT be allowed to remain on a judging panel. Whether the Directors are aware of this or not, a Judge should definitely fess up to the conflict prior to the event.
Prior to the Competition starting, all the judges are introduced with a brief bio---it's not a secret, right? Of course not! Providing "transparency" is most important! (Until the truth leaks out)
With only 5 scoring judges, any ONE judge can definitely manipulate the outcome. (Ever been in the Judge's seat?)
Interviews? This portion of the competition is NOT in the public eye...so let's say every contestant had a "great" interview, a judge can definitely play "favorites" to yet again manipulate the outcome. This is one area where a judge can make sure their top girl gets into at least theTop 15/16 to "get another shot at the big win"! (Because the competition starts over after the Top 15/16 girls that are chosen, right?)
Been in the audience? Here are some things you DON'T see on the "LIVE SHOW"...
Judges walking into the hotel, venue and onto the judges' panel greeting friends, sponsors, participants' make up artists, etc---clearly if you don't know the background, perception is reality...this doesn't look good for anyone. (Unless you announce this on the mic to everyone in sight)
All eyes on the Judges and Contestants...everyone in the room is watching your every move! Literally! So when you sit rather close to the Judge's panel and hear/see judges discussing a "tie" or "differences"...anyone who is smart and competitive will catch that! When a judge seems "upset" with the outcome and talking to another judge saying---"that wasn't my pick"... (Things that make you go hmmmm)
And the CARDS! who writes the results out?! Ever wonder if the judges' "pick their girl and the tabulator writes in another girl" (who knows- anything can happen, right)
TIE?! VERY Possible in ANY competition---BUT how is this tie broken?! "Pick your favorite"! This comes back- FULL CIRCLE....back to the Judge or Judges with the conflict! (Not just one...do your own research)
Thoughts?! Fair or Unfair?
