      • Maybe she should used that energy to “win” a state title, considering she hasn’t. She is mean and unliked in MAO and that is not a secret. (NT) -- No name, Tue March 12, 2024 09:39:24
        • This is dumb. At the end of the day, at-large state titleholders are... STATE TITLEHOLDERS. It's not their fault there is no state pageant in their state. Gosh some of you guys are so miserable. Please if you are so pressed about someone claiming an at-large title, go start the Miss CO Volunteer pageant. (NT) -- No name, Tue March 12, 2024 12:48:02
          • My thoughts with all the complaints on MD winning Teen! If you're so mad she isn't a full time resident of Maryland, go find a teen who is willing to pay her own way, compete without a board, and lives in the state. Even trying to find remaining Miss contestants for states like Idaho or Vermont or Maine. (NT) -- No name, Wed March 20, 2024 10:46:13

• Agreed. She is not a nice girl at all. I have talked to many other state Vol titleholders that met her at nationals and said she was very rude and telling everyone that she has no competition to win it all. Very distasteful. (NT) -- No name, Tue March 19, 2024 18:58:56

      • Not a rumor, she's giving up her title after the national competition for MAO, which is 2 weeks after. The MAO registration deadline is marked at May 24th, so she will be an MAO local titleholder at MVA Nationals. Very disappointing to see. -- No name, Thu April 25, 2024 16:52:47

          • Starting last year, MAO’s state contract released title holders the day after the state pageant. It’s a new day under Robin and the no longer a local year of service especially for at large contestants. I bet Volunteer is fine with it too. Frankly, if you think of it as applying for multiple scholarships, why does it matter? (NT) -- No name, Sun April 28, 2024 18:13:38
            • But it’s not an essay scholarship. It’s a year of service whether or not it was appointed; it’s the obligation to complete your year of service rather than take one, possibly two, opportunities away from other competitors. This should not be the standard. -- No name, Mon April 29, 2024 01:25:43

• Residency is where you live. I own a vacation home in another state but do not live there.

(NT) -- No name, Tue March 12, 2024 15:09:32
• High School America did away with this nonsense. If you don't win a state title, you can pay to go at-large as a "Nickname" state. Why fake that you're representing an area you don't have a connection to? Before you know it, there will be a Miss Guam, Miss Virgin Islands or Miss Puerto Rico because someone owns a timeshare there. Allison needs to think about this bad precedent she has started.

• As a parent I couldn’t agree more with the disorganization and overall rude/fake attitudes of the board. We were given mixed information multiple times and they didn’t even have a venue or begin planning the pageant until they announced a change in venue to cover up the fact that the perviously advertised venue was undergoing a complete reservation and had been the entire time they were advertising. After this experience my daughter will be pursuing other avenues, wouldn't recommend. (NT) -- No name, Tue December 19, 2023 22:23:03

• MAO bringing back fitness & increasing age doesn't mean Volunteer's in trouble! The difference between the two programs is Volunteer produces a fantastic pageant, gives the girls a great competition week experience, pays winnings in cash the night they win, and is consistent in what they want in a titleholder and how they pick her. Directors and contestants know what to expect. Everything for the MAO is up in the air- the competitions, scoring, rules, format, scholarships, location- everything. (NT) -- Vol already has the girls who want to compete in swimsuit., Sun January 29, 2023 15:01:53

• I'm sorry, I don't believe any owner literally tells a girl she has to buy a $10,000 dress or she won't win. They may say a 'state level gown' can run $10k. Saying they work with/ sponsor all the major pageant systems is basic marketing, not an attempted extortion where if you don't buy a gown from them, you won't win. If a girl can't manage the pressure of gown salesperson, she's not mature enough for the title.

• The relationship between Christine Williamson and MVA is much more of an issue than Joanns in my opinion. Her bad mouthing the MAO 5 years after she competed while trying to build up MVA is such a red flag (NT) -- No name, Sun January 29, 2023 23:18:27
  • I don't think Christine's comments have been an issue at all. She is making whoever competing aware that the leadership in certain states and at the MAO national level is toxic. This seems to be the trend with the original 4 states that had licenses revoked installing toxic abusive leaders in TN, GA, WV and PA along with CO & OH. Mental health is important. (NT) -- No name, Mon January 30, 2023 13:08:31
    • If the new leadership of MAO doesn’t replace the entire Ohio board then Ohio will soon be back to where Volunteer is now with no locals and candidates only buying in. Volunteer is just starting out so it’s understandable but the overwhelming corruption of the Miss Ohio America program has caused probably half the locals, many sponsors and many eligible former contestants to leave because of the toxicity of the board, the volunteers and some of the veteran contestants.

As a trans person she has been very supportive of me and has never expressed any close minded opinions. The reason she went to liberty is because she got scholarship money for there through MVA. Just didn’t want anyone to think poorly of her because of this!! She’s very proud of how she performed for anyone interested :DD (and her deal with her partner was if she lost they’d get a dog which I’m very excited about.

• I thought it was a possibility based on the entertainment of it, but it was also over the top at times and a bit too dramatic. I think she can sing it without bordering on overdoing it. I would like to see her tone it down a bit tonight because she is strong across the board and just might win this. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 12:23:13

• MO and SD were definitely NOT head scratchers - they were strong all week. MS had everything but talent. I know you GA people were hyping your girl all week, but outside of talent, I just didn’t feel her. There was a smugness about her that didn’t scream “confident”, it screamed, AFFECTED. IN looked like a toddler in a tiara. Outside of Alison DeMarcus, I don’t know any grown woman with hair like that. I was good with the top 5, but once they called MS,I knew she had won. Talents like that don’t make the top 5 unless the judges have already decided. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 09:22:15
  • I kinda thought MO was gonna win the whole thing given that top 5. I did enjoy SD’s monologue, but all things being equal, MO’s talent was a 9/10 and there wasn’t anyone else in that T5 higher than a 6. But, I also agree that once MS was in the 5, she would win. The judges had made their minds up. They were all about the same in OSQ, no one crushed it. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 10:03:46

• Actually it was created for women who wanted to get the hell away from the mess that had become Miss America and the toxic leaders running it at the national level. Women who still wanted to compete and serve. It is wonderful to see MA back on track with Robin, but there is more than enough room for both systems.

  • Oh they will uses their dancer queens!! Did you not see how much the outgoing queen danced on stage, opening number, with the princesses, her own spotlight, the finale! They used her a lot and she seemed to love it! I loved it. In two years this pageant has become my favorite! glamorous, beautiful stage and set design, orchetra, scholarships, no ted talks and pretty gowns and wonderfu and tastful SS competition. They embraced all that MAO tried to diss. (NT) -- AND it was free to watch, Didn't have to remember to cancel any high priced memberships., Sun June 25, 2023 16:08:16
    • I was the one who posted this-I meant that the dancers are not going to use the opportunity to meet with music executives. The dancers and how much Alexa was featured was a real plus for me this week. It's one of the things I like. I think the outgoing titleholder SHOULD have a major part in the production all week. After all they did all year, I hate when all they get is a final walk squeezed into the show when it takes a half an hour to announce the top 15. Alexa was clearly talented and it was nice to see that all week. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 18:31:23

  • Agree. I think the goal was to stand-out and not look like all the beaded gowns. It was sophisticated. Also agree, would have liked a more vivid color. The blue strapless gown she wore at Miss America was also stunning. Blue is a good color on her.she (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 11:57:28

• It is time to face the fact that the idea that in the fitness category anyone is going to solely pick on energy and confidence is ridiculous. It is human nature, of course those who are energetic, confident AND physically fit is going to win. It would be stupid to crown someone who is the first two but not the third.

I also want to like NE, WI and CA, but not sure they are solid across the board. Even though she’s been hyped, I don’t think TX is a shoo-in for top 15. I’m just not warming up to her.

  • I really liked Ohio's talent presentation but she was pitchy a couple of times on both flute and piccolo. Cute outfit that went well with her talent too.

• GA needs to tone it down. She came across as way too over the top and her swimsuit was distracting. Trying to hard may not win this thing on Saturday night, no matter how consistent she is. Final ballot may not be good for her. Then again the judges may like her over the top presentation, who knows? (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 14:40:38
  • Agree. Truth is I suspect she is the best all-around BUT trying too hard could blow it. Her body is fantastic so if the judges liked it she would have won last night. She didn’t. Then again it could have been close. Depends on how her interview went. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 15:04:11
    • I watched her Miss America interview from several years ago. It's still up on Pageants Live. It was stellar.

        • YES! I couldn’t agree more. Not only that but they should already be doing the job for their state organization.

  • please let's not start the over hyping of Texas. That's what happened last year at Teen Texas and it was WAY over the top. She's a great contestant, so let's let her showcase herself and not get the public turned against her because of the over hyping. She's beautiful, well spoken, talent is her weak spot a 6 or 7 on a good day (technique is what kills her against other dancers), and she's got an incredible body. I hope she is given the chance to shine like she can without everyone going nuts with the attempts to hype her in front of everyone's eyes. (NT) -- No name, Wed March 08, 2023 15:59:11

• She was 18 on the date of the NH state pageant. She qualifies. (NT) -- No name, Fri January 20, 2023 17:33:56
  • She didn't compete at the state pageant and was a title holder in the Miss New Hampshire program until 12/28. Then the director handed her a crown and did not advertise the pageant or hold a competition. This same director did this last year with Grace Orfao who won talent at the national pageant. She does not qualify. You are making up your own rules. If the girl won she would be 20 yrs old when she gives up her title. (NT) -- No name, Fri January 20, 2023 19:31:24
    • She was appointed and still 18. (NT) -- No name, Sun January 22, 2023 18:53:26
      • Miss NH Teen Volunteer was "appointed" on 12/28 when she was 19 yrs old and the day after she gave up her Miss NH local crown. There are such lies being told. This is a talented girl who is being misled by her director who trying to cheat the rules. She turned 19 yrs old on 11/20/22 and was "appointed" 12/28/22. She is ineligible. This is unfair to my teen who meets all the eligibility criteria. (NT) -- No name, Mon January 23, 2023 06:33:03
        • Without a pageant, the date she was appointed- handed a crown- declared the state rep- did the paperwork- is really up to the Director. You know that if Vol had declared her their state rep in Nov when they intended to have their pageant, NH MAO would have not allowed her to crown her successor in Dec. This is a teenager. You're asking her to forgo the memory of being the outgoing queen and handing down her crown to satisfy a technicality. (NT) -- more..., Mon January 23, 2023 10:19:00
        • The ED followed the spirit of the rule, allowing the Teen to have her day, and she qualify by being 18yo prior to when they intended to hold a pageant. I know this doesn't sit well but it's the nature of pageants. I'm sorry it's this way and your daughter wasn't selected. (NT) -- You will be disappointed if you expect pageant rules to be followed to the letter., Mon January 23, 2023 10:19:38
      • This is flat wrong. We inquired of the pageant and were told there would not be one. My daughter qualifies in age. So just skip the pageant when you have girls that qualify and want to compete and then pick a 19 year old that does not qualify. Allison would never allow this. (NT) -- No name, Tue January 24, 2023 15:04:07
        • This is false. The Director reached out to multiple dance & voice studios to find contestants. No one was turned away. (NT) -- No name, Wed January 25, 2023 06:15:17
        • The Director intended to hold a state pageant, so used those eligibility rules (#2). Let's be realistic- Directors get plenty of inquiries but without enough girls actually entered in time, it doesn’t make sense to incur the costs of holding a pageant. So technically, NH defaulted to an at-large state and eligibility rule #3. (NT) -- more, Wed January 25, 2023 14:30:54
          • I’m just following logic here- When there wasn’t enough interest to hold the pageant, the State Director went with the girl she had, who was eligible. It seems you're upset because you feel your daughter deserved to be appointed the title on a technicality because the Director held off on announcing and awarding the crown so the Teen could give her MAO crown down. (NT) -- more, Wed January 25, 2023 15:44:46
            • Finally, you say Allison would never allow this. To my disappointment, it seems Allison wasn't very discriminating with who she licensed state pageants to. She put the national structure in place, runs a FANTASTIC show, but it seems she's neglected the business side of it with the states. I'm sorry- unfortunately this situation is a technicality. (NT) -- No name, Wed January 25, 2023 16:07:18

  • Just stating she was on the older end of the teen divison and would have qualified for Miss if the pageant was a couple weeks later. It will be interesting to see if the judges pick a younger or older team! Excited to see. (NT) -- No name, Mon March 06, 2023 13:33:15

• I disagree. She tried pushing my daughter to buy a dress that was way out of our price range. She then tried having me buy a dress of her resale consignment rack worn by other contestants that I found at another store brand new for less money. This woman is a con artist. It was refreshing to see the national winner not wear a dress from Joann's when she won. It shows that there are no politics and your gown doesn't need to be from Joann's like most contestants are pressured to believe in TN (NT) -- No name, Mon December 05, 2022 13:31:28

  • You have no idea how much or how little was spent on the gown. It was one of a kind at a super price, and I AM a bargain shopper. We were treated like royalty and even fed a catered lunch that day! Both Paige and her mom were outstanding and I only spent about $800. That day. So- don’t try to say our experience was subpar.

      • Ohio Volunteer is an open state. Say she wins a local, goes to state doesn't win, the local can release her. She could get the same Volunteer title and go to Sweetheart. Sweetheart isn't even open for registration, no contract and fees not paid since Sweetheart isn't even open yet . Wouldn't that scenario work? Isn't it about giving young women scholarship opportunities? Empowering them to become future leaders? (NT) -- No name, Mon February 06, 2023 20:00:26

• And technically, Sweetheart isn't a 'like' pageant, as it doesn't move on to a higher title. I think this irresponsible speculating is being driven by another Vol '22 contestant who's made it very clear they want to go to Sweetheart (NT) -- and hasn't been averse to badmouthing other contestants., Thu February 09, 2023 18:25:33
• Not from Ohio and only know 2 contestants who both did Volunteer and America. I don’t know this Caroline but you’re the only one “badmouthing”. You don’t know what goes on and who is the head badmouther in your state and mine (or maybe you do if you are her) You have one contestant who gets her personal friends to stick up for her but actually has tried to ruin someone’s life with lies. Actually more than one person and she has more on her list so don’t make statements without knowing the truth (NT) -- No name, Fri February 10, 2023 14:39:49
  • You say you're not from Ohio but somehow know all this... "You have one contestant who gets her personal friends to stick up for her but actually has tried to ruin someone’s life with lies.

    • Click in. They’re telling the TRUTH! -- You don’t even understand what or who you’re getting yourself into, Fri February 10, 2023 16:16:14
      • She knows of 2, you know of 7, I'm in Ohio and only knew of 5/9 including the winner, so that doesn't prove this poster is out of state. But what is this nonsense that verifying something is factually correct is 'Sending people I know to ruin a contestant'? And you beg that we stop fact checking?? That's insane; to expect whatever's posted here be accepted as gospel and not challenged (or it somehow 'ruins' girls??) (NT) -- when you're this vague, nobody understands, Sat February 11, 2023 13:03:27
    • I know this because one of them is from my state and the other one I met. And you have no idea how someone can ruin people’s lives with lies. She ruined mine but she’s threatened people with worse than what she’s done to me. (NT) -- No name, Fri February 10, 2023 16:33:35
      • How is your life ruined? Blacklisted from the MAO? 'Nancy Karriganed' by her? Kicked out of college? Unjustly arrested? You seem like you're just coming on the boards to cause drama by making outrageous claims and insisting we not fact check them. (NT) -- No name, Sat February 11, 2023 13:13:54
  • I'm confused. What does Volunteer contestants having competed in America have to do with who's eligible for Sweetheart? And calling out someone who's bad-mouthed other girls doesn't make one a bad-mouther. And I most certainly do know who the 'head badmouthed' in Ohio is, as does anyone who's followed the Ohio board the last 2yrs, where this girl was called out for doing just that. And the whole "You have one (Ohio?) contestant who gets her personal friends to stick up for her (Isn't that what friends do?) but actually has tried to ruin someone’s life with lies," sounds like middle school drama and doesn't make any sense without context.

• Ohio did a great job introducing their candidates. Long bios on each one on Instagram. Also posted videos of sections of the pageant. (NT) -- No name, Mon September 19, 2022 14:54:09

• yes, throwing it back to when the mao states 1st runners up (usually, sometimes another T5) competed. (NT) -- No name, Thu August 04, 2022 17:55:58

• Only familiar with OR-she is competing in January. IMHO, she needs to cover her tattoos during swim and select a different song. She says she is classically trained, she should try that in competition. (NT) -- No name, Mon September 05, 2022 14:57:20

  • Only 1RU goes to Sweetheart unless she can’t compete there and then it is given to 2RU. It has to be given in order (NT) -- No name, Thu September 29, 2022 19:45:10

• No surprise the Miss winner AND the Teen Winner were titleholders to the current state ED -- No name, Sun September 25, 2022 23:14:08
• She will be a great title holder. Very active and supportive of the organization. Much improvement over the previous one. (NT) -- No name, Mon September 26, 2022 09:25:25

• Final ballot is a rank/tie breaker (NT) -- No name, Sat July 23, 2022 00:39:51
  • That is two different things. Final ballot is used to rank top five & previous score matters not. Used as a tied breaker - means high score at the end of T10 competition wins & is only used when there is a tied at the top 2. Which is it? (NT) -- No name, Sat July 23, 2022 17:42:39
    • It means that if scores are similar or exactly the same, the ranking is done and breaks that tie. The purpose is to avoid a direct tie, and is only used at top 5. (NT) -- No name, Mon July 25, 2022 17:29:15
      • Is the T5 question scored? If so, is that score added to the T10 score received, or is it separate? (NT) -- Thanks for letting me ask all these questions, Tue July 26, 2022 09:37:49
        • No problem! No, the question isn’t given a number score. It’s used to adjust final ballot. (NT) -- No name, Tue July 26, 2022 10:09:36

• That’s really strange she is competing there. (NT) -- No name, Fri July 22, 2022 20:36:16
  • There is absolutely nothing strange about Victoria doing this. She does want to focus on opera. That’s probably why she’s doing it. She has always said she wants to try to graduate debt free. The winner gets $10,000. Perfectly logical. It’s not all about the money, of course, but let’s be honest, it helps. (NT) -- No name, Fri July 22, 2022 21:52:03
    • It constantly amazes be the differences between state prizes (MVA and MAO). I was born in the wrong state 😉 (NT) -- No name, Fri July 22, 2022 22:01:02
    • Are they still giving out $10k to winner? (NT) -- No name, Fri July 22, 2022 23:03:37
      • Yes (NT) -- No name, Fri July 22, 2022 23:11:22
    • So if she wants to focus on the opera training, I am assuming GA Volunteer and Miss Volunteer America are not full time jobs or take up much time then. (NT) -- No name, Fri July 22, 2022 23:06:58
