Subject: Countdown questions Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:57:04 12/13/24 Fri Author Host/IP: 75-104-93-7.mobility.exede.net/75.104.93.7 With the pageant starting in just over two weeks, will we ever know: JUDGES I predict it will be a panel of 3 of Robin’s Florida friends. Conservative woman, another of Robin’s florist, colorist, etc and maybe a lower-tiered USA colleague. The Talent judges will be the same level as last year and will pick the most unique talents, not the most skilled Final night Miss will be a mix of minor celebrities and more of her friends or employers. They will be offered to watch the Interviews, but won’t know anything about the Top 11. No celebrity is going to judge over the holidays for free with no exposure PRODUCTION Has anyone been hired? I assume the scripts will be identical to 2024, as they have no money to hire someone to write a new script. Who will run rehearsals? No contestant was sent a waking pattern or choreography. I know MissAmerica.tv is the rumor, but two weeks out, has anyone seen a pay wall for this?? Or a production company. Robin has sued the previous one. Twice. If Robin had positive things to report in any of these areas, we would have heard by now. MAO needs some uplifting news. Heck, they can’t even negotiate getting their own contestants photos secured on their own website Fingers crossed that those who don’t a fortune to attend will get their money work.

Subject Author Date I wonder how bills are being paid. (NT) No name (mail.basketballcity.com/38.96.160.130) 14:44:52 12/14/24 Sat Like a true crook with no money, I’m sure she’ll expect to pay the bills with all the money she’ll make at this years pageant. Right after she pays herself (NT) -- No name, 16:59:16 12/14/24 Sat (NoHost/172.56.68.68) She is sending out emails begging us to pay for the floral arrangements at the party!! What next? They have no money. (NT) No name (ip-185-104-139-64.ptr.icomera.net/185.104.139.64) 11:48:20 12/17/24 Tue begging??? lol I think you are reaching (NT) -- No name, 12:43:59 12/17/24 Tue (NoHost/128.163.239.155) Asking people to pay for things the pageant is expected to fund at this point in the game IS BEGGING. (NT) -- No name, 10:17:02 12/18/24 Wed (NoHost/146.70.165.247) Events and sponsorships are common. In our community, a gala or big event has a sponsor for decorations, happy hour, appetizers, meal, dessert, enntertainment, floral or other decorations. That is a compliment to her and her team. I do not agree with all things they do but this is smart. (NT) -- No name, 16:15:56 12/17/24 Tue (75-144-226-225-Tallahassee.hfc.comcastbusiness.net/75.144.226.225) Robin is FOR PROFIT. Robin is asking other people to PAY HER BILLS. That's not smart, but a GRIFT, so she can pocket more money for herself. People give to local community CHARITY galas, NOT to for PROFIT companies. (NT) -- Maybe she can pass a hat at all the shows asking for help to pay the venue??, 10:25:33 12/18/24 Wed (NoHost/146.70.165.247) Since no one can make you all happy. Who exactly would you like to see run the organization? I mean you all hated Sam (with good reason) then you hated Gretchen, Regina, Shantel, and Robin. Who would make you all happy? (NT) -- No name, 10:31:13 12/18/24 Wed (NoHost/128.163.239.155) What an old, tired, snobby, condescending, dismissive, scolding, meaningless, weak retort- nothing can make us happy. (Would you say something that childish in public and not expect a fight?) We would be delighted with someone with solid professional experience outside of pageantry, who's competent, not corrupted, without personal grift or agendas to push and a deep fundraising list. Robin, Shantel, Gretchen, Regina, and Sam DO NOT QUALIFY, hence we are unhappy. (NT) -- No name, 16:29:07 12/18/24 Wed (NoHost/104.28.103.81) Who is the correct person for the job then? (NT) -- No name, 17:30:33 12/18/24 Wed (c-98-39-54-124.hsd1.tx.comcast.net/98.39.54.124) Who is the person with solid professional experience outside of pageantry, who's competent, not corrupted, without personal grift or agendas to push and a deep fundraising list who qualifies for the job? (NT) -- No name, 17:37:28 12/18/24 Wed (c-98-39-54-124.hsd1.tx.comcast.net/98.39.54.124) Pleeeease- you find a good leader in the same way every other company does-- you contract a head hunter and professionals compete for the job. (NT) -- No name, 16:56:45 12/22/24 Sun (static-198-54-130-93.cust.tzulo.com/198.54.130.93) Since there is no money to hire a competent CEO, how can MAO ever have one no matter who runs it. If the courts gave teh control to the states to choose a CEO, who would apply with no funding?? Seriously. (NT) -- No name, 11:04:40 12/19/24 Thu (75-144-226-225-Tallahassee.hfc.comcastbusiness.net/75.144.226.225) Miss America needs to die, before she can be resurrected. (NT) -- No name, 16:49:09 12/26/24 Thu (NoHost/146.70.165.55) Stop. It is the same floral vendor last year that made it so easy for people to buy flowers for their titleholders. Don't want to do it don't but she is not begging anyone for anything. Grow up. (NT) No name (c-73-74-207-142.hsd1.il.comcast.net/73.74.207.142) 15:28:52 12/17/24 Tue What are you arguing? The point is Robin is begging for donations for floral arrangements FOR THE PARTY, NOT the girls. (NT) -- No name, 16:32:27 12/18/24 Wed (static-198-44-136-91.cust.tzulo.com/198.44.136.91) It's for the girls. Not for the party. Any competent person could deduce that from the email. (NT) -- No name, 11:48:46 12/19/24 Thu (NoHost/104.28.57.107) Exactly! Subject line in e-mail: Send a Flower Arrangement to Your Delegate at the National Competition (NT) -- No name, 10:30:29 12/20/24 Fri (syn-070-113-128-069.res.spectrum.com/70.113.128.69) Maybe two versions of the email were sent. My email subject line was “support America’s gold star families” and said profits from two initiatives were going to America’s Gold Star Families: 1. Build a bouquet for your contestant OR 2. Sponsor a centerpiece for the gala; both cost $99. Tickets for the gold star/heart association “Go for the gold” gala are $128 each. (NT) -- No name, 17:28:59 12/22/24 Sun (ip68-99-30-158.om.om.cox.net/68.99.30.158) At least two versions of the email were sent IJS (NT) -- No name, 21:52:27 12/22/24 Sun (c-76-31-134-123.hsd1.tx.comcast.net/76.31.134.123) Why would an exec send out varying versions of emails?? It means Robin is sending out different versions of her correspondence to try to suss out who may leak it. (NT) -- No name, 16:53:22 12/26/24 Thu (NoHost/146.70.165.55)
