I don't think Allison should host the show or feature her own family. She seems too involved and in control. How would you have reacted if Trump had emceed and showcased his family in the Miss USA pageant back when? It seems like the Allison show, rather than a fair, balanced national pageant. Nothing against Allison--I think she is wonderful--but appearances count. -- Miss Volunteer America Pageant

[> Subject: Gotta figure Princesses bring in over $20K. I’m ok with them staying part of the miss program because they support the program in a HUGE way. They can have their 3min on stage IMO.
