Yeah great job! 6 contestants!!

Subject: Let’s talk about Oklahoma Volunteer…
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun September 01, 2024 21:26:17 Sexual harassment allegations about ED two years in a row. Following the public speaking out of it came the replacement Oklahoma titleholder making top 10 at MVA and now said director is judging Sweetheart… My thoughts: why not just let him go and save the potential reputation damage of the org? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
Replies:
He was released from his position shortly after MVA. Now as far as I know Oklahoma has 0 director. Which is a shame because the state has had pretty great finishes at both Teen and Miss. (NT) -- No name, Mon September 02, 2024 14:04:04 We have to talk about NC as well. Both 2023 and 2024 Sweethearts stepped down and accused the board of bullying. Two contestants in a row complaining about the exact same thing is BAD. (NT) -- No name, Tue September 03, 2024 17:17:15 There were two other volunteer miss this year besides OK who reported their directors for emotional harassment, one resigned before nationals and one the day after. And two Miss last year who reported sexual harassment from their directors. I’m proud of these girls for having the courage to speak out about it. This seems to be the only way to achieve change. These type of directors are only hurting this system and giving it a bad name. -- No name, Sat September 07, 2024 16:33:52 What states? -- No name, Wed September 11, 2024 10:57:47 Who is it?

Not to mention this new director has a very shady past with picky girls that she personally coaches. She even charges her titleholders to work with her.

I don’t see anything about either pageant. (NT) -- No name, Sun February 06, 2022 16:50:18 Yea , I believe they were appointed. Not fair to the girls from states that actually had a pageant (NT) -- No name, Tue February 08, 2022 18:08:08 Why isn't it fair? If there is only 1 person from the state interested in holding the title, then there isn't really a point in holding an event. I think appointing someone makes perfect sense. And I'm sure if multiple people were interested there would have been some sort of "virtual competition" to decide a "winner". (NT) -- No name, Thu February 10, 2022 19:26:37 Miss New York Volunteer is Jordan Smith & Miss Massachusetts Volunteer is Lindsey Morris…both appointed (NT) -- No name, Tue February 08, 2022 15:42:07 Wasn’t she disqualified from Miss NY for cheating ? (NT) -- No name, Thu February 10, 2022 00:27:48 No (NT) -- No name, Thu February 10, 2022 20:21:50 Yea she was ! (NT) -- No name, Thu February 10, 2022 20:23:32 She was disqualified, but it wasn't for cheating. She took a piece of her competition wardrobe from the dressing room to the hotel to clean it without getting approval. Once checked in, you're not supposed to do that. She didn't realize that, but it is her job to know the rules, which were enforced. The competition had already started. It was an awful situation and a painful lesson for her to learn, I'm sure. But let's not overstate what happened here. It was an honest mistake and the pageant acted with integrity to hold her accountable to the rules. It should be put to rest. It's not that serious. (NT) -- No name, Sun February 13, 2022 18:52:17 Breaking the rules is the same as cheating . She knew what she was doing and got caught (NT) -- No name, Sun February 13, 2022 21:12:25 Getting DQ’d in the state pageant is no little thing . I wonder how she pulled off getting appointed . I’m sure Allison wasn’t aware of it (NT) -- No name, Sun February 13, 2022 21:23:58 Or, maybe Allison is aware of it, but cares about the girls and doesn't think getting a dress cleaned, while against the rules, isn't worth canceling her over. I'm thrilled that she is getting another chance and that she chose the Volunteer program. (NT) -- No name, Mon February 14, 2022 14:30:00 It is no little thing. It was a devastating consequence for the young woman. I think we as a society also need to consider the fact that there was no malicious intent behind the act. Rules are rules and Jordan was help accountable - but she also doesn't deserve to be canceled. Monique Evans was disqualified for having outside hair and makeup people at the state pageant - that is more akin to cheating. She was rightfully removed, came back, competed fairly (and wonderfully), won Miss Texas and had a great showing at Miss America. It is a story of redemption and forgiveness and not being canceled and I think Jordan deserves the same. We all do because none of us can pass a purity test. I'm rooting for her and think she can do very well! (NT) -- No name, Mon February 14, 2022 14:41:34 If she was do innocent why didn’t she go back to MAO ? Because she was welcome back into that organization. She has a history of bad behavior . Ask the Oklahoma people about her (NT) -- No name, Mon February 14, 2022 20:30:03 People like you come to mind. Look, like the poster above said, she was not blameless. She made a mistake and was held accountable for it. The "history of bad behavior" sounds like a bunch of micro aggressive nonsense. She was never disqualified from any pageant in Oklahoma that I recall...in fact, she competed quite successfully as I recall, made top 5 or top 10 every year. The whole "bad behavior" trope is a purity standard applied to strong women and even more so to strong women of color who are expected to stay in their lane, toe the company line, be "manageable", and don't make too much noise. That we would ask ANY modern young woman to act like a 1950's sitcom housewife is why pageants have become a joke to people outside our circle. I have faith that Allison has a much different vision for Volunteer America and I think each of the inaugural state titleholders reflect the evolution of pageantry...and that certainly includes Jordan. (NT) -- No name, Tue February 15, 2022 09:23:52 I was waiting for you to start with the racist implications. This has nothing to do with her race . She’s trouble just ask the OK girls (NT) -- No name, Tue February 15, 2022 12:12:02 You were waiting for that? Sounds like you’ve been called out before. But as someone who clearly comes from the Oklahoma pageant system, it doesn’t surprise me one bit. The state isn’t known for being kind to Black titleholders, all of whom seem to get reputations for being “difficult to work with”. I think the problem is likely that o conscious and unconscious bias that is pervasive in a state that is best known for the mass genocide of native Americans. So, I’ll just file that in “commentary from a pageant dinosaur” file, roll my eyes and give you an earnest “Bless your heart.” 😘 (NT) -- No name, Wed February 16, 2022 19:49:20 Thank you for your very measured, respectful, and imo, wise, posts. Great explanation of the situation and its implications. When someone makes a low effort, throw away post- especially an accusation with no receipts (she's trouble), I love to see posts that give context and educate, and you did it so graciously. Well done! (NT) -- people like you make the board better, Wed February 16, 2022 21:08:49 If you want to use the race card every time someone disagrees with you go back to MAO . Volunteer will not but up with all this BS wokeness . The best girl will win regardless of her race , creed or religion. Enough is enough . (NT) -- No name, Thu February 17, 2022 18:17:08 I think it’s hilarious when people use woke as if it’s a dirty word. I guess the alternative is to be asleep? Anyway, I don’t see anyone using a race card here. Someone pointed out a pretty well-known fact that women are subject to outdated tropes when it comes to being manageable and that standard is even greater for women of color. So unless you have the receipts to back up any claims on how egregious Jordan behaved in Oklahoma, have a seat, otherwise you just kind of sound like a jackass. Nobody said rays played a role in what happened to Jordan in New York… But when someone from Oklahoma comes on this board and starts coming for the girl… Well, Oklahoma has its reputation and it’s well deserved. I think the volunteer system is going to welcome Jordan, Michela and any other black delegate with open arms and I think they both are going to do quite well… Which is probably why you’re so pressed. (NT) -- No name, Fri February 18, 2022 18:31:06 Breaking the rules is not always the same thing as cheating. There are grey areas. For example (because it's the winter Olympics and I'm obsessed), in short-track speed skating, if a skater slips and bumps into another skater, knocking them off their line, the slipping skater is disqualified, even though the slip was unintentional and gave them no competitive advantage. In the case of Jordan, cleaning a competition garment is allowed - things get dirty during prelims and in the dressing room. But, candidates have to get approval to take wardrobe pieces out of the dressing room after they've been checked in - or they have to work with the hostesses to address the issue. (NT) -- No name, Tue February 15, 2022 10:18:33 From the sounds of things, Jordan just made an assumption that she could clean her garment - because cleaning was allowed. The problem was she didn't remember the rule and she didn't consider that the reason garments can't be removed is because candidates are not allowed to materially alter their wardrobe between prelims and finals - that could result in competitive advantage. This was not Jordan's intention, but the optics of the situation in light of the rules were pretty cut and dry. Super sad situation, but she certainly shouldn't be canceled for it. I can't wait to see her compete. (NT) -- No name, Tue February 15, 2022 10:21:05 Geometry dash -- Geometry dash (pioky), Mon September 23, 2024 03:22:34 NM - Emile-Marie Enriquez (NT) -- No name, Tue February 08, 2022 17:18:26 SC for the win!

(NT) -- No name, Thu February 10, 2022 20:22:44 Oklahoma - Michella Wilson (NT) -- No name, Tue February 15, 2022 06:52:48 Some really great contestants crowned so far. Top 5 for me: New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Louisiana (NT) -- No name, Tue February 15, 2022 10:25:20 Based on what? I know Oklahoma and New York were just crowned. -- No name, Tue February 15, 2022 12:05:57 If so many of the girls were just appointed without competing then it’s a joke of a pageant . Volunteer had two years to get this going . Some states did . To just appoint someone is an insult to the girls that actually competed . (NT) -- No name, Tue February 15, 2022 17:24:08 I don't know why you keep saying that. Some states just haven't been able to generate the interest yet (and in some cases, like GA, they have had to fight against a state MAO organization that appears to be actively trying to deter girls from doing Volunteer). Even MAO is having trouble getting contestants and is now allowing at large miss contestants (GA just announced this, before the local season was even over; which certainly could be seen as a "slap in the face" to those who competed). I thought this board was to support the Voluteer system? For the first year of a national pageant, having almost 50 state reps is remarkable. (NT) -- No name, Wed February 16, 2022 08:19:40 FYI MAO now accepts at large candidates too (NT) -- No name, Tue April 19, 2022 15:34:06 It doesn't take anything away from the quality of the women who are competing. OK, NY, NJ for example all have strong talents, strong interviews, strong SS/gown - track records to back them up. The fact that some of these states are sending appointed delegates doesn't indicate there wasn't interest - it just means they couldn't find directors - and when you have MAO actively campaigning against the organization, it makes it all the more difficult. There is room for all systems. We need to stop actively trying to eliminate opportunities for these women because of our own egos and celebrate growth of opportunity. (NT) -- No name, Thu February 17, 2022 11:05:00 Based on their prior pageant history, following their social media, seeing some in person, and watching at least clips from the state pageants, my top 5 right now are TN, GA, LA, SC, and MS (NT) -- No name, Wed February 16, 2022 08:25:08 Well there you go . Let’s just cancel the pageant and just base everything on Facebook and twitter . I sure hope you are not a judge . To make assumptions on that criteria is scary (NT) -- No name, Wed February 16, 2022 12:10:33 Wow, there are nasty ass people on this board. It is common before a major pageant for people to state THEIR OWN OPINION of who they think will succeed. A prior poster snarkily questioned on what someone else based their opinion, so I simply stated my basis. Sorry it didn't include your girl, or whatever the reason is behind your level of hostility. Dude, chill. People have opinions.l. (NT) -- No name, Wed February 16, 2022 14:14:55 No need to defend your post. In case others forgot, this IS the forum to share thoughts/opinions AND (as if folks don’t know from the MAO Voy or ANY of the other state Voy’s), this IS where feedback and info is shared!! Social media IS a big deal (in terms of garnering insight into individuals, not to mention, candidates). Adding in knowledge of candidate performance(s) from other state programs is a REAL WAY of identifying ‘possible’ top contenders!! People need to relax!! (NT) -- No name, Thu April 21, 2022 00:16:19 They are just predictions, and obvi not intended to be a replacement for the actual pageant. Sheesh, why so touchy? (NT) -- No name, Wed February 16, 2022 15:57:41 Your top five predictions are noted...and will probably be way off. (NT) -- No name, Fri February 18, 2022 15:28:53 Possibly. What are yours? (NT) -- No name, Fri February 18, 2022 20:05:49 Early top 10 - OK SC LA DC TN GA MS KS OH NY (NT) -- No name, Sat February 19, 2022 19:00:53 I think several of their Top 5 are SPOT ON!!! Sorry if offense was taken because ‘your girl’ was not mentioned! Let’s get a grip…this is a frivolous,anonymous, and (for lack of better terms), location for those that participate in the pageant industry, go to SHARE! (NT) -- No name, Thu April 21, 2022 00:19:59 Beautiful (NT) -- No name, Sun March 27, 2022 02:55:03 Love Miss SC! (NT) -- No name, Sun March 27, 2022 02:57:44 Really liking Ga.

I’m really excited to see how Volunteer takes off, and do hope that it garners the attention and participation from many missing what MAO used to be…it’s time to truly have another program to select from at the National level!

Subject: Does anyone think that the changes to Miss America will impact MVA?
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Thu January 26, 2023 22:36:03 The changes made them nearly identical and Volunteer is only in their second year. Plus a lot of Volunteer girls are ones that aged out of America. America definitely has greater name recognition. There are a lot of pageants out there but most weren’t trying to be Miss America pre 2.0 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

MAO is still so unstable. Volunteer has a strong structure in place to grow. Plus Allison is the leader I trust. (NT) -- No name, Fri January 27, 2023 19:33:02 Allison put on a fabulous first time pageant. Looking forward to the next one. (NT) -- No name, Fri January 27, 2023 21:27:29 Miss Volunteer America is in trouble. MAO and MVA are essentially the same competition. It's easier to get a contestant to wear fitness wear over a swimsuit. With the age increase, you no longer have women jumping over that were aging out. (NT) -- No name, Sun January 29, 2023 10:14:29 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 don’t want “easy” to get contestants, I want the best of the best. If it’s “easier” to wear fitness wear, fine — but I want to see women who work hard and are proud to showcase it. (NT) -- No name, Wed August 02, 2023 19:38:15 The relationship with Paige and Joann's isn't helping MVA. Paige makes the contestants think if they don't buy an expensive gown from her they won't win. It's bullying behavior. No one should have to spend $10,000 on a Sherri Hill gown or be told they won't win if they don't get it. I also don't like the fact there are contestants working at the store seeing the custom design orders of their competition. It isn't right at all. (NT) -- No name, Sun January 29, 2023 10:22:25 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. (NT) -- Knowing another girl's dress isn't any real advantage; more likely a psych out knowing she can outspend her, Sun January 29, 2023 15:28:21 Neither Teen not Miss winners last year got their gowns at Joann's (NT) -- No name, Sun January 29, 2023 16:27:33 Not sure about where the teen got her gown but Alexa Knutzen’s mom made her gown and it was gorgeous! (Wish my mom could sew like that!) (NT) -- No name, Sun January 29, 2023 18:51:27 Paige / Joann’s is helping destroy MVA. It’s true that she BULLIES people into purchasing. It’s not a recommendation it’s a matter of “if you don’t spend more than $10,000 you will lose.” She has been outwardly nasty towards several contestants each year and has insider information on the pageant. There are too many coincidences for it to not be a rigged pageant. -- No name, Sun September 01, 2024 21:22:24 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. (NT) -- No name, Mon January 30, 2023 13:47:55 Are you delirious? Christine was ABUSED by MAO and is speaking her truth -- Reuben harness is that you??, Tue August 01, 2023 00:44:21 Hey! Reuben here. First, thank you for spelling my name correctly. 2nd if you think my comments were harassing please look up the definition. My comments to her were that her constant bashing of MAO were tacky when she was trying to build up another system. Please if you would like to discuss further, I think you have my number. THANKS! (NT) -- No name, Tue August 01, 2023 06:13:05 Calm down Rubin -- No name, Sat July 27, 2024 16:58:48 Both systems are unstable because the general public doesn’t care about pageants and no one new will because they are only on PP. Neither are recruiting enough girls and splitting them between the two makes it worse. 30 states aren’t even sending someone to Sweetheart and some states had to go way down from their RUs to send someone. Rumor is that Sweetheart might go back to MA after this year. That documentary won’t hurt MA because leadership is different now and no one really watched it. (NT) -- No name, Tue August 01, 2023 16:12:13 Twenty lucky Sweethearts are heading to Hoopeston! This partnership is just two years old and growing beautifully! (NT) -- No name, Wed August 02, 2023 08:31:14 How are they choosing who goes to Sweetheart? Only 20 contestants? (NT) -- No name, Wed August 02, 2023 09:34:34 Supposed to be the state’s FRU and if she can’t for whatever reason it’s supposed to go high to low placement. (NT) -- No name, Thu August 03, 2023 22:22:45 Also as hard as stares try to offset travel cost to Sweetheart these girls do have expenses to compete. Others are in school during this time. Sweetheart was forced off the grid by MAO. It is building itself back up. It’s two years in and growing. Give it time. (NT) -- No name, Thu August 17, 2023 08:37:09

Miss SC’s been around MAO-SC for years. Madi is striking & articulate double prelim winner a few weeks ago at MAO- SC. Top five for Miss & Top 3 in Teen competed just 2 weeks ago MAO-SC. The top talent winner and a non-finalist should have been in the top five and the Sizemore teen, who was the board's handpicked winner, TANKED during the OTQ horrifically. One wonders how Ashley, Erin, and Chaz feel about losing their top talent to Todd and Jeremy Culpeper. Extensive recruitment efforts on social media by Berkley led to a significant influx of teens.

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun March 10, 2024 10:23:00 At least 3 Teens at Miss Teen Volunteer America had 0 ties to the state they represented. What is the point in having a state pageant and be required to prove residency, school or work eligibility is the National board is going to appoint at-large state titles to girls from Tennessee to put a body on stage? Anna Grace Loudenbeck was Miss Germantown Teen Volunteer, placed 3rd runner up at Miss Tennessee Teen Volunteer, paid to be an at-large titleholder with 0 ties to Maryland, and is now Miss Teen Volunteer America in the same pageant cycle. Congratulations to the Miss Volunteer America Pageant board for figuring out a way to the rig the pageant, not have every contestant eligible by the the same rules, and you get your Tennessee girl in the end.

I don't think they look for residency requirements when trying to find contestants to represent states that don't have a state pageant yet. How many other pageant systems do this on the regular?

I own a vacation home in another state but do not live there. If Volunteer wants any chance of establishing pageants in the current at-large states, the need representatives that are physically there- live, work or attend school in that state- otherwise you'll never get programs established 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?

As this work continues, they are leveraging at-large appointees to further market the program. There is nothing shady about this. The absence of a state in the national pageant would serve as a disincentive to in-state, would-be contestants. It's important that each state has visibility. Eventually, they will get there; but in the meantime, this is how they are marketing the program. It's not that serious.

Honestly don’t think there’s much volunteering involved at all. They mainly go around taking pictures in pretty dresses and giving shoutouts to sponsors.

Subject: State entry fee
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Tue July 09, 2024 11:47:38 I’m confused. I was under the impression there was an established at-large/contestant entry fee, but somehow SC has gone from charging girls $500-600 last year to compete to only $90 this year? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

as of right now, SC takes talent prelim (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 21:28:43 CO was also strong, but SC looks like a winner., tonight and on Saturday as well (NT) -- What’s her background?, Thu June 20, 2024 21:39:43 Love SC 👏 (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 01:06:38 Top gowns were TN, GA, ID, and Arkansas. (NT) -- Thoughts?, Thu June 20, 2024 22:05:15 LA was stunning in gown and presentation was beautiful. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 23:20:25 Pennsylvania was stunning in evening gown. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 22:05:27 Was PA wearing red? And was right before Wyoming? She was stunning! (NT) -- Missed fitness. Are they going for super thin look?, Thu June 20, 2024 22:18:41 Nebraska should win talent. Hands down. CO was probably second best. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 22:08:43 sc talent was not strong by any means (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 22:18:12 SC had an entertaining talent ! Loved it!!! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 01:08:55 Judging was a little less on the nose tonight. If there was a 3-way tie, I’m shocked MO wasn’t one of them - great body and best performance. Talent is a shocker to me. SC was fine, but she got tons of pretty points. There was nothing remarkable about her skill/ability. It was a bit gimmicky. Nebraska’s talent brought the house down. I really don’t get it. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 22:18:25 I 100% agree. All SS winners were strong and deserving, although I had MO in my top 2. I hope NE at least gets to perform on Saturday. I'd love to hear her play again. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 22:23:41 Volunteer only wants pretty girls, doesn’t matter If they aren’t technically the best or most advanced in talent. They just want whoever looks the prettiest on stage (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 22:24:14 Hannah has been a great national titleholder but unfortunately her talent was nowhere near as advanced or technical as some of the other girls who competed with her last year. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 22:27:52 And that's fine - let her win because she's tops in 3/4 categories. But the categories should be judged without bringing non-relevant considerations to bear. I liked what SC did - she was fun and a good performer. She was not the best talent. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 23:44:01 One misconception about talent is it’s only based on talent. No, it’s not. It’s based on performance and entertainment value. Hence why NE was the most talented on that stage, but playing instruments is naturally harder to have the same entertainment value as a song or dance because it’s more difficult to connect to the audience when you need to watch your fingers. Singers and dancers mostly win in pageantry because the art form is most likely to connect to an audience. Based purely on talent, NE should have won. Adding the performance and entertainment value, it was a toss up between NE, NC, and CO (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 23:55:54 Volunteer represents beauty. If you want mediocre go to MAO. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 01:06:41 I find NE to be beautiful - she has a lovely face and there is something calming and pleasant in her demeanor - she's very likable. I had her winning talent and MO winning SS. The winners are all fine choices, but MO had the body and the best overall presentation. You could tell she was living her best life. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 10:57:07 I know Nebraska - Christina and she is a wonderful, generous and kind person...and oh what a talent! I'd like to think (hope) she was second place by a point! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 14:45:29 Agree. Nebraska would have been my pick for talent. The 3 way tie winners all look the same, so I kinda get it. LoL! (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 22:24:20 AZ was my pick for SS. Personally, I felt she had an understated confidence and poise in her walk while other girls felt too desperate or performative. NE and SC were my top two talents and I could’ve seen it going either way. I really hope to see both talents again Saturday! -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 22:50:14 CT looked amazing in SS. Washing too. Could’ve gone several other ways. -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 23:05:46 I think for SS the judges were going for the classic confident pageant girl look. All the winners were strong and I truly could have seen this prelim going to a number of girls tonight (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 00:03:29 Agreed. The judges clearly had a type in mind and it held more to a fierce and sexy vibe which is what I think hurt KY, MA, and MO who were strong, but felt like they had more of a younger or more cute than sexy vibe. But truly this prelim could have gone to almost anyone (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 00:11:08 I thought MO was a totally different caliber of confidence and look. I don't understand how she would not be in that top 3 much less didn't win. And in talent, NE was clearly the most skilled of the group. CO's opera had the vocal quality but did not match the substantive content/meaning of the song and I thought the winner was kind of frenetic in her presentation. Talent at least was more of a narrow margin -- I found last night's results in fitness to be bizarre. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 15:31:13 I was surprised at MS talent, was expecting something much better (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 22:25:46 FLORIDA -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 22:26:33 Seriously? (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 00:06:30 …yes -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 12:02:48 I loved FL! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 14:07:10 Talent scoring off, it should have been Nebraska or Ohio or Colorado (NT) -- No name, Thu June 20, 2024 23:40:03 Yes, it did seem off to me as well. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 27, 2024 20:38:43 I had NE for talent but still really enjoyed SC, I think it comes down to who the judge like best, which is looking like SC (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 00:05:03 I had MO as number 1 in swimsuit and AZ as 2nd so I was shocked to not see MO but happy for AZ. I liked AL as well she’s beautiful and her swimsuit stood out (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 00:07:57 I had NE or OH for talent, but SC was entertaining as well. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 00:30:52 CO had the best talent tonight. -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 01:49:52 She is a good singer to be sure, but she did this thing that many pageant talents do. The performance charaterization didn't align with the material. CO's song need a character that was more whimsical and coquettish. CO was more stoic and serious in her delivery and it just felt disconnected to me as a viewer. I'm sure she scored well because she has technique and lovely tone. I had NE winning talent; but can see how SC won based on the performance quality (even if her dance was nothing remarkable). (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 10:53:06 I agree! SC draws you to the stage with her presence! My eyes goes to her on stage! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 12:32:54 OH was definitely my pick for talent. I thought it had a lot of entertainment value, i.e. Darci Lynne (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 09:19:56 Ohio was really good. They had the camera up close and her lips didn't move.

(NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 23:18:34 I’ve been at all preliminaries and don’t have a girl in this pageant but SC is absolutely the best of the best. Her talent was entertaining, great costume, great stage presence! Her swimsuit was WOW! Healthy, beautiful body. And her walk is untouchable. There are beautiful girls competing. So exciting! (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 00:51:27 As a retired pageant coach who led two girls to win Miss America and one to win Miss USA, I strongly disagree. I’m not entirely sure how exactly the scoring works to determine the winners, but the outcomes of this pageant is showing the organization’s amateurism pretty bad. Also the judging committee could be more diverse in some ways. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 01:44:16 NC was my pick for SS win followed by Misssissippi. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 06:08:22 First thoughts, the life style and fitness music for the girls was just bad, give them some better music to model to, it was elevator music. I was surprised with the life style and fitness winner also. The 3 girls from the night before looked very healthy and fit. SC was a little too thin for me and sucked in a little to hard when she poised in front of judges. MS or NC both looked amazing. Loved NC’s swim, it looked velvet, I’m sure it was Pixton or Shaw. Talent winner was one of my top picks she was technically good but I thought the violin wound have won. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 10:19:17 NC’s swim suit was black velvet by Jamye Shaw. Perfection! (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 11:11:55 NC should have won last night. Followed by MS. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 11:37:13 I 💯 agree. It was my favorite suit of the week, and she looked amazing in it. Angelo Frasier posted on his Instagram that he trained her. She should do USA. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 12:06:14 She reminded me of Olivia Jordan in swimsuit. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 12:26:19 Volunteer is like a county fair pageant. The talent scoring is an insult to women who really have talent. While MAO is out promoting winners who are doctors, Nuclear Engineers, and USAF pilots, volunteer is promoting the girl who looks hottest at the local amusement park. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 10:25:12 Volunteer is a beauty pageant. Thank God! MAO certainly isn’t a beauty pageant but rather a contest of who can raise the most money and pad state directors pockets. MAO is outdated and so irrelevant. Remember, it’s called a beauty pageant. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 11:41:38 I don’t disagree with the drawbacks of MAO. (Unpaid scholarships) It still doesn’t invalidate the previous statement. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 12:28:23 But who cares if contestants are doctors, lawyers, pilots etc. Let’s be truthful contestants spend way more to compete than awarded in scholarships. It’s like an Olympic sport, you spend tons of money on training and equipment but only get endorsed if you win the gold. With that being said, I can assure you a beautiful girl will get endorsements way quicker and easier than someone who is just accomplished professionally. Once again, it’s a Beauty Pageant. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 14:00:07 Spot on! The MAO: "A contest of who can raise the most money and pad state directors pockets." (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 14:11:14 Most girls competing in MAO also can’t do fitness and wellness! (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 14:40:54 I suppose you could say a "county fair pageant" at a national level. I think 25% for talent is perfectly fine, if you want your system to emphasize beauty over talent overall. There's nothing wrong with that. Miss America still exists if you want talent and interview to be your emphasis. (NT) -- Tiki-Java, Sat June 22, 2024 18:02:06 I bet they remove talent from Miss America before next years competition. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 19:00:38 I seriously doubt that. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 27, 2024 20:35:45

Subject: The DeMarcus Indulgence
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Thu June 20, 2024 23:39:17 I want to preface this by saying I like what Alison is trying to achieve with the Volunteer system and I am rooting for it to succeed. I also think they are a lovely family who clearly adore each other. However.... I just can't help but cringe at all the self-indulgent behavior I see from the DeMarcus family. Alison has 1000 gown changes, Jay thinks it's amateur night at the Laugh Factory (often saying inappropriate things) and they have their kids performing, one is apparently Volunteer Princess emerita. It all just feels self-aggrandizing. This isn't a local or even a state pageant - maybe that would fly there. This is a program that is trying to build a national pedigree and take over the top spot from an iconic institution. This indulgence and focus on their family just doesn't scream, "We are a serious organization and are trying to elevate pageantry." The video with Sydney Dion was perfect. They should focus on showcasing aspirational figures who lend relevance to the sport of pageantry. They also need to get a proper PR team that can help develop a stronger grass-roots movement that attracts new contestants, engages communities and fosters more robust sponsorship (including in-kind scholarships from universities). Right now, the program is reading like a top-notch state pageant. I'm just not seeing the vision clearly articulated and I think the over-indulgence of the DeMarcus family would be a turn off to would-be sponsors viewing the pageant for the first time. They have such a strong foundation and they could be successful, but it's time to get serious and stop with the DeMarcus Family Fun Hour. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Yes! If offering a free live stream, then they need to stop with the family singing live and put on some sponsored commercials breaks. Let the family sing for the in person audience on prelim nights, but what is aired has to do better. The camera angles are poor, the camera shots showing Alison backstage, Jay seems inebriated… It comes across as state pageant. And the only singers and dancers that should be on that stage are the talent of the girls competing for the title. I love the idea of the live band but it has to be well rehearsed. For SS the band sounded off rhythm and key. (NT) -- No name (Rooting for MVA), Thu June 20, 2024 23:53:52 I hate to admit it; but I agree with you. I love how proud Alison is of her family and they seem like genuinely good people but you're right. It DOES kind of feel like the DeMarcus Family Fun Hour and it just comes across as a bit unsophisticated. I hope Alison will step back and look at the production in an objective way and ask herself, "Could this be a primetime show on network TV?" Right now, the answer is no. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 11:01:00 Is Alison’s sister still involved in the pageant? And her niece? She used to do all the production numbers with Alison’s daughter, in matching outfits. (NT) -- The niece is beautiful, does she compete in pageants?, Fri June 21, 2024 13:06:51 Her niece is a national titleholder with NAM (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 17:04:00 I'm so glad someone said it. I agree, they seem like a nice family, but all the attention on the family has been quite cringy to watch. Allison needs to be directing this program, not emceeing. Her husband, bless him. Please just get him off stage. And the children, let's find somewhere else to showcase them. It is all just a bit much. As someone said, it's time to get serious and be a bit more professional. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 13:40:49 I love everything Allison is doing! Love the family involvement the world needs more that! There is not one thing wrong! The stage is amazing! She has tons of sponsors backing here and it grows more each year! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 15:40:23 This blind devotion doesn't do the program any favors. Any good, sustainable organization needs to be able to practice rigorous honesty and take credible challenge. I'm not seeing something that A-list sponsors and broadcast/streaming services would pay for. They are off to a good start, but this is not a sophisticated production.... and it's fine to be pro-family and despite the platitudes, maybe the world does need more family bonding...but do that at home. They are not the Mandrell Sisters or the Osmond Family. Build the business, build the brand - find the "so what" that makes this pageant a real product. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 20:18:26 Personally I love Allison and Jay Emceeing. Would love to see just a little of the banter then mostly serious and respectful. I love the kids but this should be their last year “in” the show. I know it's hard when you have kids - but it's time to move into the next phase. There are other ways to include them. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 16:22:52 Agree about the kids. The daughter just didn’t seem to be feeling it up on stage… (NT) -- The son was a good singer though… but soon his voice will change…, Fri June 21, 2024 16:49:07 Exactly - they choose banter over keeping the focus on the contestants and telling the "story" of Miss Volunteer America. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 20:20:20 Much much better tonight (via the broadcast!) the commercials were great in place of fill! Looked much more put together! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 22:20:38 Agreed - it was much more about the competition and the contestants. The personality videos were a nice touch - but it would be nice if they could talk about issues with more substance...leggings vs. yoga pants? Really? I don't think that's elevating women and revealing their intellect. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 21, 2024 23:55:33 Click in -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 13:20:50 MS was much thinner…. Upper body and shoulders were bony.

I want to hear her mom got a second job to pay for dance lessons, and now she's trying out for the Rockettes. I love the stories! I love the girls being recognized for their hard work. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 20:54:31 Have the stupid people watching Volunteer and even Tennessee when Allison was running it, the Auditors NEVER give her the Top 12 after the Top 16 is announced, and the Top 10 is never given to her from the Auditors during the show. Only the Top 10 in EG and Swimsuit are being scored when there are 16 and 12 on stage. (NT) -- No name, Wed June 26, 2024 00:14:45 They are pretty transparent about this. The 11-16 spots are only based on prelim scores so no need to get that from the judges. They already know. Only the 10 are being scored on final night so she only needs to get the list of 5. (NT) -- No name, Wed June 26, 2024 10:15:55 Yes, they officially told the contestants this would be the case during orientation back in March. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 27, 2024 18:21:22

Subject: Top 15 is a JOKE!
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sat June 22, 2024 21:10:34 As a former state title holder for Miss America and Miss USA, I am appalled by the judges' choices for the top 15! Half of these contestants shouldn't have even made it past the talent portion. Frankly, the organization should eliminate the talent section altogether! Minnesota's talent alone should have secured her spot in the finals, much like MS's swimsuit did, given how terrible her talent was! And don't get me started on the bogus "Fitness & Wellness." Also, I’m very surprised Miss Connecticut didn’t make top! She’s gorgeous and has more talent in her legs alone than half of these other contestants. Then again, he just won an NBA championship with the Celtics! She’s got life down! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Before anyone claims that talent doesn't matter, the same argument can be made about the swimsuit competition!

Be thankful that this organization allows scholarship money to be paid for tuition AND student loans!!! (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 22:12:35 It’s NOT A TALENT COMPETITION. Each phase of competition is worth exactly the same amount!!! (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 22:15:53 It was proven last year that it was not a talent contest, look at the winner, she has done nothing during the show (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 22:34:19 It'll be SC or AL. They look just like Alison. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 22:29:32 Allyson wants PA. I’m calling it! -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 22:37:11 I wish. But I’m fairly certain it will be SC.

Not really! (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 23:00:21 Regardless I think after watching the whole week she was the strongest choice. A shame “what they are looking for” interfered with the best taking home the crown. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 19:00:36 NY was easily the right choice. SC didn’t even answer her question.

I don't mean to make it about race, and yes, I'm white, but looking back, Minnesota, Connecticut, and even Oregon should have been in the top 15! (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 23:49:26 Im white and I agree lol Half of the contestants in the top 15 should not have been there! I also think MO could have been in the mix also (NT) -- No name, Sat June 22, 2024 23:51:03 Agreed!!! (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 10:55:06 MN was good but not top 10 material. Her EG and SS held her back. You also have no clue how her interview went. Yes she was a non finalist interview winner but look at the title of that award. That means she was the best of those who didn’t make the top 15. Y’all need to stop and celebrate what she was able to accomplish. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 11:18:15 I don’t think that is correct…she could have had a higher scoring interview than people in the top 15 - she just wasn’t in the top 15 so she is called a non-finalist. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 12:36:06 Sorry but totally disagree. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 11:25:53 Where did Allie Griffiths place at Miss Georgia? (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 00:04:55 What is non-finalist recognition? Girls who should’ve been in top? This was the strangest pageant. I’m sorry but Miss SC, or our reigning Miss Volunteer America looked emaciated… is this what we’re teaching young girls? -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 00:13:28 The “non finalist” award is basically just random girls that “shined throughout the week and it was recognized by the “volunteers backstage” kinda stupid. It’s basically just picked by like whoever the backstage staff liked best (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 00:22:14 This pageant is so tacky lol (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 00:28:28 Tacky= gaudy & dowdy. Campy= something so outrageously artificial, affected, inappropriate, or out-of-date as to be considered amusing. Through in some Jesus and Americana and you have Miss Volunteer, and I'm here for it! (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 11:46:11 LOL at least that’s what’s been told the grapevine. They could’ve picked them for other reasons but publicly they’ve never said why. I think it was just told to the girls backstage last year. Weird though bc last year people were confused and thought it was the top 20, girls even posted that. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 00:58:00 No, they announced the "special recognition" girls the same as last year. (NT) -- nobody was confused that there was a T20, bc they didn't call a T20, lol, Sun June 23, 2024 11:49:01 Berkeley Bryant click in -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 08:14:48 The new Volunteer winner was (beep)ing robbed from MAO twice as she had wanted for the state title. Thankfully, she decided to compete in Volunteer system instead of wait for another year in MAO. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 08:24:07 Maybe she did not title because the judges could see how mean she was. The stories of her at MAO and MVA speak a lot to the kind of person she is. Evident in people not being excited to congratulate her after her win (NT) -- No name, Mon June 24, 2024 12:52:12 You don’t know anything about Berkley! You have your information wrong. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her! She’s sweet and is the totally opposite of what you are saying! Shame on you and your hateful remarks! (NT) -- No name, Tue June 25, 2024 12:41:10 Numerous reports from multiple titleholders claim otherwise. Unkind comments heard by many girls, mean looks given to others…the number of girls not necessarily associated to each other other than through this one week have very similar stories of interactions and feelings surrounding her. It sounds like she is very good at putting on a show when needed but behind the scenes is not the kind person you claim. The response by the contestants to her win proves that. (NT) -- No name, Wed June 26, 2024 13:31:08 From click-in: This young woman has competed for years and been very successful. It seems as if she was dismayed with MAO like many others and switched to volunteer. She was on my radar from the time she won the SC title. Anyone that keeps up with pageants knows she is a strong contender in any competition she enters. She was one of the most well rounded contestants I’ve seen this season. There were several young women in this competition that were strong contenders. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 12:32:00 I thought she was on fire the whole week! She embodied all the elements and was a well earned winner! I also thought PA was a great choice but MN schools have been in T15 at least. Her personality SHONE through her! (NT) -- MVA Fan!, Sun June 23, 2024 14:10:23 I really don’t have a problem with the results. We all always think someone got left out as arm chair judges. SC (if you’ve followed pageants) has always been a strong competitor and successful. My only question with the top 5 is Mississippi. Let’s face it, she can’t sing. I think this is a great opportunity for women. There’s always room for improvement but we need more scholarship opportunities and glad there is a glam pageant option! (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 09:31:40 I don’t have any issues with top 5, they were all great competitors. My issue is with the top 16. At least 4 or 5 did not earn their spot there. There were so many talented girls who worked extremely hard all year long only to be passed over because they didn’t have a certain look. Thought this system was based on all 4 phases equally, but that clearly is not the case. It’s clear that’s it’s simply a beauty pageant. If that’s what they want, that’s fine, but advertise it as that. It’s disrespectful to the girls who were told it was about service and volunteerism, because it clearly is not. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 10:03:04 I agree with you that many were left out of the 16 who deserved to be there. But service and volunteerism are not scored phases of competition. They are built into the interview but at no point does a girl receive a numbered score for either. It is a mathematical formula. Scores are scores are scores. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 10:08:06 I should have clarified, I know the volunteerism is not scored. However that’s how the pageant is advertised. It seems to be based more on looks than anything else. So just be honest and advise it as such. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 10:29:07 I thought they were pretty open about what the four categories of scored competition were. The underlying brand of the organization is based on volunteerism but you still have to have scored categories of competition. The two can coexist. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 10:58:21 There is no scoring based on volunteerism. They promote it and can ask a young lady about her efforts during interview. But the scoring is clear. So learn how this system scores it’s contestants and you will be less frustrated (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 11:38:59 And other systems promote volunteerism, education etc. don’t see folks screaming about those systems being unfair. I think the majority of these posts are from folks who thought MN should have gotten in there. Stop bashing a system that provides opportunities and scholarships to young women. There will never be a top 15 or winner everyone agrees on. So get over it. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 12:05:48 I have to admit, I was confused as to why MN was left out when she received 2 nonfinalist awards and community service. Maybe explain those a little more in depth, so people understand it. Also, I know this will never happen, but in the name of transparency, post the top 15 interviews so everyone can see what the judges saw. Might clear up some confusion. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 12:44:00 MN as a non finalist winner meant she had the highest score of those not announced in the top 15. So remove all the semi finalist scores and then she was the next best. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 15:39:20 Click in. -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 09:54:14 POSTED from click-in: People seem to grossly misunderstand the Volunteer scoring. It is unlike any comparable pageant and obviously causes some confusion amongst viewers. To be perfectly clear, each phase of competition is weighted equally. This means no excellent talent or high fitness score will necessarily guarantee a girl a spot in the top ten or top five. It equally means no poor talent score will keep a girl out of the top ten or top five. Interview matters and styling onstage matters. Does this mean there weren't some girls notably left out of these placements? Not at all. Several strong, consistent competitors onstage were left out. (NT) -- more..., Sun June 23, 2024 12:03:04 However, no one on this board saw an interview of any of the contestants. Scoring high in interview & then consistently scoring high in at least two if not three of the onstage competitions will result in high placement. Until the fan base starts to grasp what this scoring really looks like in practice, you will continue to feel miffed & confused at the close of each pageant. Miss Volunteer America is far from perfect. But she is a three year old pageant. The organization is on solid footing to continue on its path of growth. If you aren't willing to buckle up for the ride that involves both highs & lows, find a new system to follow. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 12:04:37 At the end of the day the scores don’t matter once you’re in the 5. It’s final ballot. They pick who they want. The person with the lowest scores could win. And unfortunately that happens often simply because they like her for some reason. Onstage question is a huge reflection of interview. I think with this 5 it showed who actually more than likely had a strong one and who didn’t. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 19:04:06 Did all the contestants have to buy their competition EG from Sherri Hill? (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 10:33:13 No. It’s contestants choice. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 10:39:47 I accept the scoring system and the top 15 it produced. I feel strongly, however, that each phase should be judged as it's own competition and not have other areas bleed into the scores for that phase. NE not winning talent is an injustice, made even more painfully obvious when she performed after the top 12 and blew them all (except NY) out of the water. Give NE that moment with her well-earned prelim award. If she doesn't excel in the other areas, that's fine; but I just can't wrap my head around her not winning that award. I am glad she was able to perform on Saturday night. I imagine that meant a lot to her. (NT) -- No name, Tue June 25, 2024 15:35:18

Subject: MVA Judge
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun June 23, 2024 14:26:05 Miss VA Judge here, and I would like to clear up some confusion. While I did not judge the national pageant, I did judge and crown two state winners (one Northeast, one South) for this year's national pageant. One lady I crowned made the top 15, and the second lady I crowned did not (although she should have based on the judging criteria). I was present for both prelims and finals, and I can confirm that the judging was not the same as at the state pageants. On the national level, they did indeed judge primarily on looks and stage presence based on Demarcus' WANTS (emphasis on wants). The "merit" awards were given to contestants who should have been in the top 15 by the "authentic" MVA judging but didn't rank in the "wants." Minnesota, Connecticut, and Missouri were victims of this. I've seen comments saying that the scoring is "25% across the board" but that's not entirely true. There were a number of ties after prelims that was then decided by the look of contestants. (Interviews would have broken the ties an kept contestants in top 15.) If anyone is curious about the judging criteria, I can upload the rulebook I was given when judging the two state pageants (which was supposed to be the same criteria for the national pageant). This will most likely be my final pageant as a judge. I don't think I have it in me to keep misleading young girls who put so much effort and hard work into a system that was never for them from the beginning. I hope this clarifies any misleading comments on this forum. Congratulations to all the contestants. Life still goes on! <3 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Judging is subjective. I’m sorry but everyone keeps talking about MN. She just didn’t have it. Even when she performed as a non finalist talent, she was not as good as the other fiddle player. Yes I have been a judge as well. With the exception of Mississippi in the top 5, I had no problem with the results. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 14:40:06 Completely agree. Also no one were “victims” of anything. It was a subjective competition and those three were outperformed. The three of them did fantastic, but so did the other who made it (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 14:44:52 I am not going to argue with someone who didn’t judge or know anything about this organization. Contestants were taken out of the top 15 when they did in-fact score in the top. Judging is subjective yes. But what happened last night was not. As I said before, which you probably skipped over, I can happily upload the judging criteria which will solidify the result mishaps viewers saw. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 14:55:48 Who was taken out of the top 15 after scoring high enough to be in the top 15 at nationals? Also I would love if you could upload your proof of this if you’re able (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 15:00:18 Do you have proof? Sending the judging criteria for tiebreakers doesn’t prove there were girls in the top 15 who were taken out (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 16:02:01 CT and MI were clearly not outperformed -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 16:23:26 Some comments on this thread asking for proof were deleted, but I would like proof of these tiebreakers and girls were intentionally taken out of the top 15 so give any credit to these allegations (NT) -- No name, Mon June 24, 2024 15:08:10 I noticed that too. It seems like the administrator of this page was contacted by the board and asked to squash things, Hundreds of comments have been deleted since Saturday night, all saying negative things about the pageant. (NT) -- No name, Mon June 24, 2024 19:38:24 I think comments in support of the pageant have been deleted too. I think it was a well run event where a lovely young lady won. Everything is subjective and some people were hurt that maybe their girl didn’t win or make it in the top 15. That happens no matter which pageant it is. (NT) -- No name, Mon June 24, 2024 23:39:18 At the top you'll see someone from Broken Arrow, OK overran this board with 75 messages, 54 of which had to be deleted. A poster can't create a thread on their own by posting replies to their own posts, or repeating their point. Both give the appearance that perhaps dozens of others were participating in the thread. That's propaganda, it gets deleted. (NT) -- mod, Tue June 25, 2024 02:05:07 Maybe if the administrator of this page wouldn’t have kept deleting only this one person’s comments, they wouldn’t have had to keep reposting over and over again. This is supposed to be a public forum where all opinions can be shared. The comments were not about the girls. They were mainly about one specific director who has been reported multiple times by multiple girls over a two year period for inappropriate behavior. Yet national chose to do nothing about the situation. Why is national trying so hard to keep this information from being shared publicly? (NT) -- No name, Tue June 25, 2024 10:33:05 "Maybe if the administrator of this page wouldn’t have kept deleting only this one person’s comments, they wouldn’t have had to keep reposting over and over again." If you're post is deleted, it's for a reason. Do not repost it. Threads made entirely by 'only one person' will be deleted. "This is supposed to be a public forum where all opinions can be shared."Libelous 'opinions' are deleted. "Why is national trying so hard to keep this information from being shared publicly?"The assumption that Volunteer runs this board is false. You can share anywhere else you please. You can't overrun this board with 75 messages. (NT) -- mod, Wed June 26, 2024 16:39:12 A lot has been deleted. Hard to follow when things disappear (NT) -- No name, Mon June 24, 2024 23:36:09 How Voy works is every comment below a deleted comment gets deleted, along with the comment.

Subject: SCORING: I know that each category is 25%, but what is the scoring system within each category? Eg., 1-10, with all whole numbers? 1-10 with scores to the hundredth of a point? On final night, 1-10? 6-10? Please give details. Thank you.

Subject: Hot Takes
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun June 23, 2024 14:39:36 1. The finalists all deserved to be there. I was alongside the head scratchers when they announced the top 16 when my picks didn’t make it or I couldn’t even remember some of the girls. However, these thoughts dissipated as they re-competed. Almost all had strong ss walks and those who didn’t made up for it with their incredible talent. Was there more talented girls who didn’t make the cut? Yes. Does that take away from the talent of those who made it? No. 2. Pageantry is the game of getting a group of strangers to fall in love with you after less than 15 minutes of face time. With that, biases tend to result in the majority of women in the top having a similar look. While this does bring out bigger issues such as racism, homophobia, and other incredibly harmful prejudices, unfortunately bias will always hold a firm place in pageantry. 3. “____ was robbed!” No they weren’t. To be robbed of something it needs to belong to you in the first place. Every contestant put in months or years of preparation to be able to perform on that stage. Every girl deserved a spot on that stage to demonstrate that, but the virtue of hard work alone does not guarantee anyone a finalist spot. 4. “The results weren’t fair.” Pageantry is subjective and not fair. If you want a “fair” and equal sport, try soccer. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

(NT) -- No name, Mon June 24, 2024 15:41:47 Same. I know it’s hard not to take the results of a pageant personally especially when someone you love is competing, but it is a subjective sport formed on 5 peoples opinion.

Subject: Observations from a has-been…
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun June 23, 2024 00:43:22 Former MAO titleholder here with no skin in the game; just some thoughts because I’ve always loved pageants. This was my first time watching the Volunteer pageant and prelims and hoped it would be different than MAO or some of the others. I judged from my couch and was very surprised at the Top 16. Even more surprised at the Top 10 based on some of the “talent.” Had the winner picked from Night 3, so no surprise there. Some things that are concerning (for all pageants now) include the thinness of these girls and the revealing gowns. Several of the girls tonight were INCREDIBLY thin. I get being in shape because I had to do it too when competing, but it’s really getting out of hand. Some of these girls don’t look healthy AT ALL. New Mexico was my favorite in Fitness/Wellness because she looked shapely, natural, and healthy. The winner tonight looked disturbingly thin to me, but I guess it could’ve been the livestream distorting her physique. These girls employing trainers to fit a certain standard is not what pageantry was intended to promote. And these gowns aren’t even gowns anymore. They just remind me of Fitness/Wellness all over again with some extra fabric. Where is the distinction between the categories? I’m so bored with the hip-high slits and the ultra revealing designs. I was glad to see New York’s gown actually look like an evening gown. Please understand I’m under 30 and am not a modest dresser, but come on y’all. Some of these girls look overly mature and dare I say less-than-elegant just by their gown choices. When are we going back to class, elegance, and natural beauties, the timeless titleholders?

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun June 23, 2024 12:46:14 For those young ladies who have been overlooked or have hit a brick wall in other systems….give MVA a try! Don’t read into the negativity that the sour grape bunch post on here. You don’t have to be the top of every category to be seen in MVA because every category counts the same. That is why you see the confusion because you have to understand how the scoring works! Don’t be scared to step out and try something new!!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I agree, people don’t understand the judging process of this system. MAO no longer selects contestants based on looks. However, MVA does. You have to be extremely fit for SS and look good in evening gown. If you’re overweight or not very pretty, you’re not going to score well. I hate to be blunt, but that’s the reality of this system. And your community service really does not matter, except to possibly affect interview, which no one but the judges see. The bottom line is, If you’re not in perfect shape but have talent, then do MAO. If you look great, but don’t have talent, do USA. If you look great AND are somewhat talented, do MVA. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 13:24:43 I think of it a bit differently. If you can score high in 2 categories, I think you can get into the top 15. Scoring high in 3, gets you top 10, possibly top 5. If you are consistent across all categories, you are top 5 (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 14:20:26 I disagree. There were a number of girls who did very well in 2-3 categories who didn’t make it into the top 15. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 14:25:39 But it’s up to the judges. Not the arm chair quarterbacks. And none of us saw interview and none of us know the composite scores. I’ve seen a lot of folks upset over a couple of girls. If you go back and look, they might have been super strong in one category but in all honesty fell in the others. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 23, 2024 14:44:35

Top 10 determined after prelims but top 15/ 12 announced for production purposes. There were girls who were very consistently strong in all phases onstage that didn’t make the 15.

Disappointed, no. It’s still a bit early. I’d like to see all states with a director and better production at the national level. It took 97 years to build up MAO and three for it to fall.

If they want that to change they should: actually have an emphasis on service, give half decent scholarships to anyone besides the winner, and figure out their branding.

(NT) -- No name, Fri July 07, 2023 11:08:47 Jude Mabone Miss DC Volunteer 2022 recently became Miss District of Columbia (NT) -- No name, Sat July 08, 2023 08:18:43 This was a state titleholder that just won her state title in March, did very well at Volunteer America and now is on the website of another system as a contestant. She won't give up her state ttile till March. (NT) -- No name, Sun July 09, 2023 23:36:29 At the state boards meeting in Jackson during MVA, Allison said she and Robin (CEO of MAO) had spoken and agreed that girls sgould be encouraged to compete in as many systems that they want to. Apparently MAO state directors have been told not to discourage participation in MVA or any other system. (NT) -- No name, Mon July 10, 2023 08:59:28 But they have to give up the MAO title they hold to do so (NT) -- No name, Mon July 10, 2023 14:10:37 There is no issue with titleholders competing in other organizations as far as I know, especially after nationals (NT) -- No name, Mon July 10, 2023 23:30:19 Indiana last year won an MAO local before she crowned the next MVA Indiana titleholder (NT) -- No name, Mon July 10, 2023 23:45:01 Last year's Miss Tennessee Volunteer is competing in Miss Tennessee USA next month as a married woman. (NT) -- No name, Fri February 02, 2024 20:03:15 I think there's been a lot more lee-way with MVA than other systems in the past. As long as they compete at nationals and fulfill any other state duties that THEIR STATE requires, I think state titleholders are given freedom after nationals. Miss Washington Volunteer got married last year after nationals but before she gave away her title, and it was all approved because nobody cared and it was after nationals.

I had MS in my top 16 but thought her gown was just ok. Both of these and some others mentioned about I think are the classic case of "different night/different judges/different outcome."

I had Mississippi in my Top 15, but you never know how those private interviews went. Maryland’s service initiative that relates to hunger is a perfect connection to Salvation Army, an overlooked Miss Volunteer alliance and her talent will be used for national anthems etc. She’ll likely benefit from Jay’s connections as well.

Subject: What’s the deal with South Carolina Volunteer
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Tue September 05, 2023 14:08:27 Anyone know what’s going on with the SC volunteer group? Heard several things from former contestants and parents: one of the board members and most of their local directors resigned before the pageant or walked away afterwards, contestant yelling backstage after crowning that they were recruited and promised the title, no prize package announced, etc [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
Replies:
I heard the board member and local directors that left were trying to take over the pageant and to be honest it was the best thing for the organization that they left. I was at the pageant and it was top notch all the way from production to crowing. They crowned two really strong competitors who will do great at nationals. From what I’m hearing the Miss South Carolina Volunteer Pageant is the premiere pageant for South Carolina and consists of a board that runs a fair and competitive pageant. Rumor is it will take the place of Miss SCMAO. (NT) -- No name, Wed September 06, 2023 21:07:56 LOL now that's funny!

(NT) -- No name, Thu September 07, 2023 14:48:12 They’ve got a LONG way to go if they plan to even come close to what SC MAO has created. But I also thinks it’s sad to see volunteer people continuing to compare themselves to MAO and not solely focus on Volunteer rather than trying to throw MAO under the bus. (NT) -- No name, Fri September 08, 2023 23:12:32 Competed this year. Did not know about contestants yelling after being promised titles. That said, there was clear favoritism throughout the process. Production was great from the outside but horrible as a contestant. Poor communication throughout, very disorganized, and still do not know what the prize package was. The S in S.E.R.V.E. stands for Scholarship yet we were never told, nor was it announced, what the scholarship would be. State board did not submit Sweetheart paperwork in time so no runner up has the opportunity to compete there. Very few contestants will be returning. It will not grow with the current board. (NT) -- No name, Fri December 01, 2023 22:33:31 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 renovation (NT) -- No name, Tue December 19, 2023 22:24:56*

The director quit shortly after crowning and there was no replacement for months. The title holder had no appearances and very little support. She didn't do well at Nationals and was vocal about her dislike of the program. Thompson the 2nd title holder was in the top 10 and a preliminary talent award winner at Nationals.

Don’t think anyone cares (NT) -- No name, Thu July 27, 2023 23:08:29 Apparently someone does …. You are reading their board ….. (NT) -- No name, Sat August 12, 2023 10:21:40 I unfortunately didnt know the pageant was being livestreamed until last night!! (NT) -- It was wonderful & I loved the finale!!! I am going out tonight but will try and watch when its rebroadcasted (:) Well done Volunteer crew!), Sat July 29, 2023 16:48:22 Anyone got any predictions? I think it is between MidSouth Fair and Tipton County, with MidSouth Fair being the obvious choice. She is very consistent all-around and I think would represent well at MVA. Tipton County is young, energetic, and truthfully I think her mentioning Michelle Obama in her solilouquoy will hurt her chances. But she's got amazing charisma. Some pageant system would be glad to have her. Of the non-preliminary winners I think it would be Knoxville. She's been consistent and has the experience. Should be a good battle to the end tonigh! (NT) -- No name, Sat July 29, 2023 18:24:31 I missed everything except the final five answers. Midsouth Fair gave the weakest answer of the final five, so I honestly don't know who will win!

(NT) -- ., Sun July 30, 2023 12:17:23 I watched all week and this is my opinion. I think that the winner did well all week and she did a good job of showing up when she needed to. Some of those other contestants like Midsouth Fair (who I liked, by the way) and Knoxville who both competed in previous years seemed to be going through the motions. More inside -- No name, Sun July 30, 2023 13:28:12 Oh and one more thing I forgot-I always like Marti Sullivan but she didn't even make the top 16 this year.

I mean that with Knoxville and Midsouth Fair as well. (NT) -- No name, Sun July 30, 2023 13:30:12 Marti’s talent jumped the shark this year … weird transitions and too many high notes.

Subject: Suggestions as MVA looks to future
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun June 25, 2023 18:52:38 Last year everyone was happy that there was an alternate to MAO and wasn’t toxic. This year I believe growing pains are here. Just a few thoughts. 1. Be clear to the states what a national titleholder needs to have. We all understand that this isn’t a talent competition but come on, this was a super weak top 5 talent and it’s hard to explain to potential contestants what happened, except to say it must have come out of interview. That excuse only goes so far. 2. Provide states with marketing material. Some states are blessed to have volunteers in this area but many are not. If there was social media ads, reels, etc that all states could use to help present a brand this would be very helpful. 3. Publish the scholarships given in the program book! No one knew what was being given until the winners were being called out. Provide scholarships to the prelim winners too. 4. We all get that MVA wanted to have all 50 states represented. However, if the states that work hard to put in a pageant have to abide by residency requirements, so should everyone else. I would rather leave a state out than have someone who is a non resident of that state in the stage. That takes away opportunities for those who met residency requirements to compete. 5. Judges, yes we all know it’s hard to find judges. However, the panels that are being put together have no pageant experience, minus one or two. Not sue their instructions but need more experienced people. 6. Production, the stage is beautiful! But it’s time to become a national pageant. The Princesses are great and I’m sure they are a money maker, time for them to move to the Teen pageant. Their being in the Miss pageant, makes it feel like a state MAO pageant and not a national competition. To be at a USA/MAO level it’s time to get professional MC’s. Many times there is so much banter that a girl is left standing on stage waiting way too long to perform. This isn’t fair to the girl. And introducing Christine and a full walk across state like a reigning titleholder is a bit much. Maybe you keep MCs like they are for prelims but stick to a script and bring in a professional for Sat night. As things grow, it’s time to take it to the next level. That goes for the national Princess coming in stage each night with MVA as well. It is the titleholders time and it takes away from her and her moment. Then at the crowning, it should be the winner and outgoing titleholder only. You don’t see four hundred people crowing Miss USA or MAO. The spotlight should be on the new queen. So this is a lot but #1 is the most important. There were a lot of spectators, contestants, and potential contestants that are now more confused than ever [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I can’t figure out why anyone thinks it’s ok for Allison’s daughter and niece to be princesses for contestants and agree why is so much spotlight put on Christine??? Plus they introduce their titleholders and everybody else like 100 times (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 22:04:51 It's TWO YEARS OLD! It's BRAND SPANKING NEW!!!! (NT) -- No name, Tue June 27, 2023 22:39:43 Christine is the reason for MVA -- MVA, Tue August 01, 2023 00:34:56 I love the new winner but agree with this! Competition was very weak and it’s crucial to crown a show stopper to catapult this system. The new teen is great and they will make a great team. Only a couple of girls have gone through this system that has gained national level attention. They need to hire professional producers and production for a national. I have faith that it will get there in time! (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 23:58:46 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. (NT) -- Ima (Jean) Starall-Reddy, Tue June 27, 2023 00:11:42 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. (NT) -- No name, Tue June 27, 2023 16:43:00 But if you want to become a true national pageant, you have to move them to the Teen program. IMO, it makes it feel like a MAO state pageant. (NT) -- No name, Wed June 28, 2023 05:52:05 Maybe that would be possible when teen is bigger, but I don’t see Princesses paying $500 to be part of the 3-day teen experience when they get a week long experience now. JMO (NT) -- No name, Wed June 28, 2023 09:13:47 Well, it was much more fun and entertaining to watch than a ordinary MAO pageant. It’s Allison’s creation so she can do what she wants. Her and her husband are great. As long as it is fair, and it appears that it is, I have no problems with any of it. (NT) -- No name, Wed June 28, 2023 21:38:30

(NT) -- No name, Mon July 03, 2023 02:04:29 I’m shocked too. They went with “traditional” beauty queens. I had Indiana, Kentucky and Georgia in Top 5. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 22:40:09 ID gave the only really good answer in the top 5. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 22:31:29 Also, she is beautiful.

Her talent was only around a 6 and I thought her answer was just okay. I would have had some of the others above her. I thought maybe ID had it, she looked like she was ready to cry afterwards, which is understandable. MO rambled too much, thought VA would be higher and I think SD would have been a great, modern choice. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 22:50:55 I agree. My entire watch party was shocked.

Subject: Overall Impression & Questions
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Mon June 26, 2023 23:00:49 We are new to the pageant world and just heard about this board. My daughter wanted to watch Volunteer before we decided which system to invest our time and money it. We had planned to compete in GA America, but have heard so much negative about the board. I don't know the GA Volunteer board, but have heard nothing negative. Our concern now is the scoring. We watched all the preliminaries and thought we were spot on, but only one of our picks made top 5. Can someone please help us understand how the composite works? Is it interview? We are so puzzled how the judges panel could have come up with that top 5. Maybe America is the way we need to go? My daughter is very talented, amazing interview, but swimsuit (while it's not bad) is not her strongest area. Can someone please advise? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Hi! I know the Miss Ga Vol board and they are all amazing! They really care about the young ladies and do everything they can to help them. As far as the results, sometimes you can’t predict things as no one sees the interview. If I were you, I would give it a try! You will have a great board behind you should you capture the crown!!

(NT) -- No name, Tue June 27, 2023 14:58:19 MAO and MVA are very close in how they are scored now. MAO = Interview 30, Talent, Evening Gown, and Fitness (athletic wear instead of swimsuit) each 20 and Onstage Question 10. MVA Interview, Swimsuit, Evening Gown, and Talent 25 each. Both have Composite Score and both have Final Ballot. The results for both are going to be well-rounded, beautiful (and fit) titleholders. Talent is definitely going to be hit and miss in the winners for both systems with this scoring. (NT) -- No name, Tue June 27, 2023 15:04:43

She had one of the most fun talents of the whole competition. I can’t wait to see it again tomorrow night. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 23:21:42 Missouri was the clear winner for me. Mastery of skill - check. Entertaining - check. Would I want to see it again? Check. I didn't see her coming, but so glad a truly deserving talent won. IN had a rough start and I don't want to see it again. NC wasn't nearly as strong as DE. I thought it would be MO, but would've been fine with DE. I had IA third. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:52:00 DE was not great especially for a professionally trained ballerina. I'm sure the judges were thinking what I was. Why didn't she do ballet? (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:57:04 Just because you're en pointe doesn't mean you should be. I preferred DE's overall vibe, performance factor, she was clean and in control.

(NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 11:33:22 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.

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sat June 24, 2023 23:42:00 I was in full agreement of the results until the Top 5. It's like the Top 5 was flipped with the bottom 5 for the end. After talent, if there was a 3rd person to eliminate, it would have been Mississippi. It was awful. That was not dancing. I don't know what that was. I really hope the National Board reevaluates the scoring criteria and what they are looking for. They went backwards with picking a winner from Alexa to Hannah. They went from someone who needed scholarship money and was competing for the right reasons to someone who isn't in need of scholarship money. It should have be Indiana and Kentucky for the final 2. What a disappointment. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I am surprised by the top 5 and winner too but since when is financial need a criteria for winning or even placing. It costs a lot in wardrobe, etc to even get on that stage so need is not a factor. If they needed it so badly they wouldn’t be buying or borrowing gowns. Even though Alexa’s mom made hers I’m sure it cost at least a grand in fabric (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 00:04:02 I agree with most of this. Personally, I had Georgia, Indiana and Kentucky as the Top 3. I KNOW Georgia is a stellar interview. Her Miss America interview is still posted on Pageants Live and it is incredible. With the exception of Missouri, the Top 5's talents were mediocre at best. And in the final question, they didn't come off as great speakers either. But they were the "lookers". Frankly, the judging panel didn't seem all that qualified or sophisticated to me. It was all very strange. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 00:04:12 I agree. Georgia, Indiana and Kentucky were no brainers for Top 5. They were the Top 3. 4 and 5 could have been any of the others, however, Mississippi, South Dakota and North Carolina were very very pretty. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 00:19:47 Totally agree! The top 5 were head scratchers. This is a weak top 5 talent and hard to explain. And don’t tell me it was interview etc. There were girls left out that had superior talents AND had the rest of the package too! Someone needs to explain this as it makes no sense. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 01:02:51 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.

Did you ask her personally if she needs the scholarship money? And when did financial need become one of the scored phases? I only remember seeing interview, fitness, evening gown; and talent. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 08:42:00 Everyone has always stated you win a pageant in an interview! I have heard this in almost every system. To know Hannah is to love her. She has something special and that is why so many people have been waiting for her to win a state and national level pageant. She won that title with her beauty,kindness and her life story. I am finally happy to see a system where scoring is the same across the board. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 09:03:27 I thought the judges were spot on UP TO THE TOP 5? What the heck? GA, IN, and KY SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE 5. Could their interviews, gowns and swimsuits been off that much point wise from those that were in the 5. At least one or two of them SHOULD have been in there. This is VERY dissappointing. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 25, 2023 10:25:16 Not that I want to see the same recycled judges for the past 30 years at MAO but these weren't really pageant judges.

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.

(NT) -- No name, Wed June 07, 2023 08:46:37 Pre-Arrival favorites: TN GA AL NC IN TX VA MS CA NH (NT) -- No name, Sat June 10, 2023 16:40:06 Florida is young but she has an incredible talent and a fairly strong platform. Think she is a dark horse. Was 3RU to Florida OT 2022. (NT) -- No name, Sun June 11, 2023 00:21:58 Hopefully she has a good network to help her prepare for nationals. (NT) -- No name, Mon June 12, 2023 13:30:12 They've posted a poster with all the headshots, and its going to be streamed on PageantsLive. All nights. Looks like $30 for finals and $75 for all. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 15, 2023 08:59:45 It can be streamed for free on eplustv6.com all week -- No name, Mon June 19, 2023 16:35:14 Miss VA -- No name, Mon June 19, 2023 17:17:01 I think Georgia has got this. Her talent is top knotch, she's facially beautiful, fit and the pixie cut makes her stand out. The girl wasn't 1st RU at Miss America for nothing. (NT) -- No name, Mon June 19, 2023 23:56:08 GA is awesome but the scores are about consistency here. They’re weighted heavily on talent in Miss America. It’ll be interesting to see if she can do it in Volunteer (NT) -- No name, Wed June 21, 2023 13:39:25 She also won the On Stage Question preliminary at Miss America-double prelim winner in Talent & OSQ. Looks very fit as well so I expect her to do well in Swimsuit and she slayed in the blue beaded gown at Miss A...not sure what gown will be for this but I think she's someone who does very well across the board. (NT) -- No name, Wed June 21, 2023 16:39:24 She won Swimsuit preliminary at Miss Georgia in 2018. (NT) -- No name, Wed June 21, 2023 16:44:46

love mississippi in swim (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 20:46:01 VERY competitive swim comp tonight! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 20:50:55 thoughts on texas in swim? why was she swinging that thing around like that? (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 20:53:45 TX or MS for swim. Loved the way TX used the cape — made her stand out along with her suit and figure. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 21:17:06 This is what makes things so interesting because I would have docked her for all that cape business. I liked it at first but I thought she did it too much. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:11:04 Competitive night in swim, but I think Mississippi took it. (NT) -- Ima (Jean) Starall-Reddy, Fri June 23, 2023 20:55:15 Hoping swim goes to MS or CA. TX looked great, but seemed forced. Also seemed out of proportion... tight tiny figure, but larger head and big hair... (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 21:01:45 obsessed with Indiana!! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 21:11:41 Talent--North Carolina was excellent, and IN really sold her song. One of those two. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 21:53:06 Hate Georgia’s dress. Very flat and she doesn’t look good in black. TN did it better… sophisticated black with some sparkle. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:14:18 agree was not very impressed (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:26:00 Georgia was trying to be fashion forward and sophisticated but it fell flat. Everyone else went glam and she looked out of place. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:46:28 Completely disagree. GA’s velvet gown was fashion forward and chic. I thought she stood out in a good way compared to all the completely beaded gowns. Only change I would have made was a bolder color. (NT) -- And the fit was flawless., Sat June 24, 2023 10:37:44 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 GA’s dress didn’t translate well. Just flat. Prelim winners aren’t a shoo in. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 12:14:19 To you (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 12:17:39 Honestly, I’ve seen it happen. Those girls with Harvard degrees or STEM strong careers will go further than you think. But best of luck to them all! My thing is, we can’t really predict fully without all categories added up. There will be some dark horses in that top 15, and I’ve personally seen a dark horse win on many occasions. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 14:07:29 If they go for the Harvard and or STEM girls, then that puts TX into the mix (NT) -- who are the other Harvard and or STEM girls?, Sat June 24, 2023 14:49:58 Texas could be in there. I’m not counting her out at all. CA is also a woman in STEM, as is TN. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 16:38:59 Gown--maybe SD or TN (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:17:25 Agree. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:22:12 Calling IN for talent (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:34:06 Almost all of the gowns fell flat to me. A lot looked like prom off the rack. GA's didn't but it wasn't special either. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:53:04 The little I saw of Alaska's gown was that it was blue with some sheer panels... (NT) -- The blue looked pretty...is there somewhere we can see photos?, Sat June 24, 2023 14:51:47 I actually liked Georgia’s gown. It didn’t look like a pageant gown. It was sleek and different. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 23:00:22 Georgia may have looked better in person than on the feed. Her state director posted pics. Looks like it may be a velvet dress and it has a high slit and a slight train. Fit her like a glove. Looked high fashion. Just depends on the judges taste. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 00:00:56 I am disappointed in how MVA is showcasing their swimwear winners. It’s supposed to be based on confidence and their energy however that was not exemplified by the winners. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 01:17:44 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. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 13:19:51 Thoughts on evening gown for night 3? (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 01:19:03 favorites were SD, TN, and GA (although she leans toward coming across as arrogant rather than confident) (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 13:21:49 i love SD (NT) -- Great group of ladies, hope they do Sweetheart!!, Sat June 24, 2023 03:25:04 I think SD is looking like a strong contender (NT) -- No name (SS win & best EG last night), Sat June 24, 2023 12:12:36 I don't even remember what she did for talent. And she didn't speak very well in her interview after the preliminary win. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 17:59:59

I'm hoping for GA only because I can't stand the idea of her being first runner up at nationals twice (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 23:04:05 They feel the most consistent to me. Ironically Indiana was 1stRU at National Sweetheart and Georgia was 1RU at Miss America. So kinda in the same boat there. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 23:23:21 Yes and the Sweetheart winner was Ga, who was 2d RU to Victoria at state. And that girl beat Indiana at Sww”wet heart (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 00:47:45 Kentucky was first runner-up at Sweetheart 2022, overall swimsuit and talent winner. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 01:35:16 I thought that was Indiana who was 1ru at Sweetheart (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 09:57:03 Maybe she was there representing KY. I read she competed in pageants in KY too. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 11:58:39 Kentucky was 1st runner up in 2022. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 13:16:44 I don't think the judges have a clear favorite. Georgia won Talent and could have won SS...but didn't. Indiana won SS and could have won Talent...but didn't. South Dakota won SS...but I can't even remember her talent. Mississippi won SS but her talent was very weak. Missouri won talent and was consistent in SS and gown. A lot of it will probably come down to how they did in the personal interview and who they think is the best all-around. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 00:41:02 Indiana, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Massachusetts (NT) -- No name, Sat June 24, 2023 07:15:55 Volunteer needs to crown a young woman who lives up to the branding. SERVE should be more than an acronym and embody the heart of the organization. Volunteer needs to become relevant to Main Street America like Jackson to become sustainable.

She is very likeable, the contestants seem to love her, and she seems to have a contagious personality. That being said, consistency is what wins this. We are told this about the judging and Alexa was consistent across the board last year. They are really looking for well-rounded in all areas. It should be fun because the last 2 standing last year were non-preliminary winners. I do suspect that with the strong showing of the preliminary winners at least 1 of the 2 will be.

Interesting. Agree with Kentucky. South Dakota is statuesque and thin. Pretty. For me it would have been between her and Georgia. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 22:26:23 KY excellent. SD good but did not stand out over GA. Weird. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 22:31:42 I find it weird too. I thought Georgia was terrific. Her swimsuit was glam, confident walk and great body. I had SD 2nd or 3rd.D (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 22:37:43 I thought Georgia was right there, she was fantastic. I think her suit may have made the difference, didn't love it. I felt I was paying more attention to the suit then to her. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 22:51:49 Judges got it right. There was nothing easy and natural about Georgia's presentation. She was just really doing the most. SD was the clear winner. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 08:34:31 It had to be close between SD and GA. I had them as 1 and 2. I think GA is a shoo in for the Top 10 based on consistency. And possibly Top 5. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 00:04:03 GA overdid it -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 13:02:00 Is the KY rep from TN?? (NT) -- What is her pageant background? She has the look that Allison goes for, thin with big blonde hair, Thu June 22, 2023 22:48:39 Miss KY is from KY. She went to college in TN and competed there but moved back to KY for grad school. She competed in KY in Outstanding teen for several years (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 23:50:15 Although it will change after tonight, here are the candidates who have shown strongly and consistently over the first two nights. At this moment, I have them making the call (there are so many on my maybe list). In no particular order: GA, KY, FL, IN, MO, AL, NC, PA, SD (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 08:39:32 Ooh, this is a good list. I’m glad others are noticing MO and NC. They’ve been really strong so far. Looking forward to seeing their talents tonight. I think if WA has a passable SS, she’s in. 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. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 09:45:42 I agree about Washington! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 19:27:57 Florida was really surprising. Her talent was phenomenal. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 20:13:45 She could get into the T15 (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:24:06 Massachusetts and Ohio have both been quite consistent. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 18:34:23 Agreed! Love OH, switching from flute to piccolo was super cool and entertaining. Also loved her gown -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 21:41:44 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. Unfortunately her gown was not good nor was fitness so I think she will end up right in the middle assuming since she's a lawyer that her interview was good (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 22:06:03

Excited to see who brings it tonight! (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 19:49:27 georgia worked it in swim! (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 20:41:45 That seriously may have been one of the best swimsuit presentations/walks I’ve ever seen. Killing it. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 20:44:56 I didn't love it. She looked good, but the walk seemed a little over-wrought. The constant rolling of her hips and shoulders coupled with the mugging just seemed...odd to me. The judges definitely got it right with SD. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 08:32:23 I 100% agree about GA (NT) -- No name (Too much.Performative and odd.), Fri June 23, 2023 13:47:32 GEORGIA!!!! Wow! (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 20:42:28 So many different swimsuit looks! -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 20:53:55 some of these talents are real rough (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 21:18:49 Mississippi….

(NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 11:11:15 Kentucky and Florida were fairly good. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 21:20:46 Oklahoma good too (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 21:25:02 South Dakota (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 21:39:10 I LOVED Kentucky! (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 21:49:35 me too!! (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 21:53:13 Kentucky was good, as always, but sounded a little hoarse tonight? In general, talents were weaker than last night. Maybe between FL, VA, CA, KY, TX. Swimsuit was totally GA!! (NT) -- Ima (Jean) Starall-Reddy, Thu June 22, 2023 21:57:05 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. She was well-spoken, funny (made them laugh), animated and passionate about her cause (foster care). IF she did that well in this interview, the judges probably like her. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 16:10:26 Alabama in gown. (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 22:08:33 Alabama’s gown was amazing! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 17:01:46 I loved Washington! She’s growing on me! Loved the blue suit! (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 22:15:05 South Carolina Gown loved it last night! Also NC, Alabama (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 14:24:53 Way to go, KY and SD!!!! (NT) -- No name, Thu June 22, 2023 22:25:42 Both night's talent winners were clear...Georgia and Kentucky were the best in their groups by far. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 00:05:12 Kentucky has not had much success at Miss America and certainly not last year at Volunteer. It’s fun to see Kentucky finally shine! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 00:20:18 Kentucky won Miss USA just a couple years ago. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 12:02:33 Typically Allison goes for a platinum blonde singer (although last year it was a blonde dancer) so KY has a good shot. Whoever it is....I expect a blonde. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 00:22:11 I think Allison runs a very fair pageant. T15 at MVA last year and Teen had well rounded finalists from every region of the country. The best woman will win on Saturday. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 12:14:15 Agreed! We all know that no way would two titleholders from Utah win consecutively in Miss and Teen if this was an unfair pageant. They are letting the judges choose who they think best fits the bill, which is awesome! (NT) -- No name, Fri June 23, 2023 13:16:28

Indiana has a great figure. Said in interview after she got chosen to be on the American Ninja show. (NT) -- No name, Wed June 21, 2023 22:47:19 This sing trio is HORRIBLE. I turned off the pageant. I couldn't sit through it. (NT) -- No name, Wed June 21, 2023 22:51:38 Georgia and Indiana could very well be the last 2 standing. Georgia was 1st RU at Miss America and Indians was 1st RU at National Sweetheart. (NT) -- No name, Wed June 21, 2023 22:55:50 Was the MN rep from TX? I think her name is Shana Dukes?

So strong in speaking, talent and SS. I expect her in the Top 5 here.

Can't remember which state....maybe Nebraska. Tennessee's clogging was "cute" (not the best I've seen but "cute") and Georgia was a whole different level-very strong singer.t.

Subject: Congratulations on a 1st year
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Fri June 02, 2023 10:55:38 Congratulations on making it through the first year of Miss Volunteer America. I have questions for the future- besides going to the TN local pageants, a few state pageants, a children's hospital and an occasional parade or gala, what opportunities did the national titleholders really have this past year? I'm let down by what was accomplished by the organization. I expected more than what was seen. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I've been impressed by the whole organization, especially for the 1st year. Really looking forward to the National pageant in a few weeks. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 03, 2023 16:33:27 Alexa travelled to NYC for Fashion Week, multiple state pageants, and worked with CMNH. It looks like she was busier than Miss America. Each future MVA will have the opportunity to keep growing this brand. Alexa laid a nice foundation for the future. (NT) -- No name, Sat June 10, 2023 16:44:43

Lots of pretty gowns! Good production-over and done in 2 hrs flat., (NT) -- No name, Fri March 10, 2023 08:22:00 Like the prior post, NCs talent took me by surprise.

(NT) -- New fan, Fri March 10, 2023 09:42:45 Agree that NC talent was very good, but keep in mind that except for GA and SC, most of the others in that group were not great so she stood out for that reason too. Also, talent is 25%, just like fitness, gown and interview, so winning a prelim is great, but you have to be consistent all the way through. Jury is still out on who can do that.

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Fri January 20, 2023 12:38:05 AGE REQUIREMENTS TEEN In order to meet age eligibility requirements to compete, a contestant must be at least 13 years of age on the first day of the state pageant and can be : 1) no older than 18 years old on the 31st Day of December in the year of the National Pageant for which she would compete ,OR 2) no older than 18 years old on the first day of the state pageant, OR 3) no older than 18 years old on the date she wins a local title or is appointed a title to an at-large state pageant.

Sounds like the NH teen does not qualify to compete in teen. (NT) -- No name, Fri January 20, 2023 15:25:54 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 NC is 19 in April...tight squeeze. (NT) -- No name, Wed February 22, 2023 14:58:28 But she’s 18 at the time of her state pageant and national pageant. Not 19, what’s your point? -- No name, Fri March 03, 2023 20:35:29 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 *Teen, not team. My bad!

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Mon December 05, 2022 07:23:41 National sponsor Joann's is not sending a good message. Paige is photoshopping her pictures to look skinnier than Miss Volunteer America and state titleholders. Going from a size 20+ to a 2 in the same day is not physically possible.

Paige Dennis is the most encouraging and generous woman to girls in every pageant system. She’s a successful woman in business and a great supporter of her community. (NT) -- No name, Mon December 05, 2022 09:46:56 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 I have to agree that this photoshopping is not sending a positive body image. I'm still in shock she thought there was nothing wrong with photoshopping her body to the point she is smaller than Alexa and the Iowa queens. Did Paige not think someone would comment on it? SMH. (NT) -- No name, Tue December 06, 2022 10:47:18 I took my daughter to buy a dress there and I thought she was incredible: humble, polite, and fair. We traveled 4 hours to get there. She had pulled dresses in my price range that she thought would look good. If you don’t like her photoshopping, that’s your business. I don’t care what she does with pictures of herself. It was the BEST dress buying experience we ever had. Period. (NT) -- No name, Tue December 06, 2022 22:24:34 You wasted your gas and were overcharged on your gown. You would have had a better experience and spent less going to Shimmer Boutique, Lasting Impressions or Mackenzie Jade's. (NT) -- No name, Sun December 11, 2022 18:19:02 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. I’ve been to lots of other dress shops and this one was the best! (NT) -- No name, Mon December 12, 2022 09:28:58 I’ve heard great things about McKenzie Jade’s!!!

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 I see you've moved to this message board from Ohio since you were shut down over there. You're irresponsibly saying this girl isn't eligible based on rules you are only speculating about. You don't know Sweetheart rules. Contestants are invited based on placement at the Vol State pageant. They may not give a hoot if the girl has an 'active' title within Volunteer because she's not going representing Vol. (NT) -- more, Thu February 09, 2023 18:25:03 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.

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.

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.

Kentucky-Sept 23-25 in Frankfort. They don't seem to be getting many participants. Deadline keeps getting pushed back. I was hoping for a much better pageant than last year . (NT) -- No name, Mon August 29, 2022 16:35:32 I hear Kentucky only has 2 Miss so far. That’s why they had to extend the deadline (NT) -- No name, Tue August 30, 2022 23:45:59 Noelle Thompson is competing in Kentucky she will win she has been Top 5 every year in Tennessee. Probably why no one is entering in Kentucky. (NT) -- No name, Tue September 06, 2022 12:11:48 Haven’t seen much in the way of recruiting going on. The current titleholder has not been heard from since Nationals. (NT) -- No name, Tue September 06, 2022 13:50:30 Noelle is competing and that’s why it’s so quite. The state director was her local director in MAO several years ago. (NT) -- No name, Tue September 06, 2022 20:49:28 Noelle is a great competitor and will serve KY well. She’s a hard worker. But you are right. The pageant has been pretty quiet so everyone assumes the director has someone in mind, as she has always done in the past . At least she has someone good picked out this time. (NT) -- No name, Thu September 08, 2022 11:16:12 How can she compete in Kentucky when she just competed in Tennessee in June? (NT) -- No name, Thu September 15, 2022 10:26:12 She attends school in Kentucky (NT) -- No name, Thu September 15, 2022 14:11:39 But she still competed in another state THIS YEAR. it’s totally set up for her to win Kentucky (NT) -- No name, Thu September 15, 2022 18:21:22 Does anyone know who and how many are competing. Absolutely nothing announced. (NT) -- No name, Thu September 15, 2022 20:09:12 One contestant finished in the top five in both Alabama and Mississippi plus a Tennessee contestant competed in Alabama. (NT) -- No name, Fri September 16, 2022 07:23:30 Second ru in Ky won Alabama last year. (NT) -- No name, Fri September 16, 2022 07:33:41 Yes! And then she beat Kentucky at Nationals (NT) -- No name, Sat September 17, 2022 14:09:34 Ohio is September 17 at the Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center in Lima, Ohio. They have more sponsors, more scholarships and more contestants than last year! (NT) -- No name, Mon August 29, 2022 17:30:48 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 Oregon is January 21 & Washington is January 8 (NT) -- No name, Tue August 30, 2022 09:56:57 Utah - January 6 & 7 (NT) -- No name, Sun October 02, 2022 03:55:34

Super excited!!! I feel like there may be a special spot at MVA for the winner! (NT) -- No name, Tue August 02, 2022 20:15:37 Very excited. Just hope BOTH pageants get their numbers UP! (NT) -- No name, Wed August 03, 2022 09:12:28 So does Sweetheart now accpet contestants ONLY from the Volunteer Program? (NT) -- No name, Thu August 04, 2022 07:10:46 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 This could SO work if both systems can get their numbers UP! (NT) -- No name, Thu August 04, 2022 15:32:05 Super smart move for both systems!!

Any guess who will win, who will do well in MVA (if they have not competed in their state yet) (NT) -- No name, Sun September 04, 2022 15:34:56 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 Top 8 - TN, IN, OR, GA, MS, OH, AL, UT (NT) -- No name, Sun September 04, 2022 20:26:42 Winner - GA (NT) -- No name, Sun September 04, 2022 22:46:33 Congratulations to The first Volunteer Sweethearts (NT) -- No name, Tue September 06, 2022 13:57:31 Will the sweethearts from each state be appointed from their state to represent at MVA? (NT) -- No name, Tue September 06, 2022 21:43:44 No you must go through Miss Volunteer to get to Sweetheart. So like 1st, 2nd and 3rd ru have to chance to compete at Sweetheart (NT) -- No name, Wed September 07, 2022 12:33:55 Only 1RU goes to Sweetheart unless she can’t compete there and then it is given to 2RU.

Staff (paid or volunteer) (NT) -- No name, Wed June 29, 2022 21:00:08 Another question..does Volunteer have final ballot, or high score wins? (NT) -- No name, Fri July 22, 2022 23:47:37 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 What is the base scholarship requirements for state teen titles?

(NT) -- No name, Fri July 22, 2022 10:36:10 I think there are only 7 Miss and 6 Teen for GA. Shocked that Victoria is doing it. I thought she was wanting to focus on opera training and career. (NT) -- Probably won’t be surprised with winner, Fri July 22, 2022 17:46:22 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 New way to Queen -- No name, Fri July 22, 2022 23:16:04 Her former MAO local director is on the Georgia Volunteer Board.

(NT) -- Wouldn’t send anyone to the Atlanta board, Sat July 23, 2022 17:19:31 She won. (NT) -- No name, Sat July 23, 2022 17:43:44 Been a fan for a while, glad she won. Personally sad she is growing her hair out. Dashes the hopes of all us girls with pixie cuts. Try as all they systems might - #shorthairwillneverwin. (NT) -- No name, Sat July 23, 2022 20:14:46 Loved loved loved her really short hair! (NT) -- No name, Sat July 23, 2022 21:21:35 Kinda sick of seeing this comment. My daughter loved her time with the Atlanta board and other formers have nothing but nice things to say about them. Based on the farewell speeches the young ladies had a great year. Kudos to this system and this board. They are doing a great job and I expect great things from them and this system. (NT) -- No name, Sat July 23, 2022 21:54:52 Not that comment matters as she deserved it. This was a great PAGEANT! Two very deserving young ladies were crowned. (NT) -- No name, Sat July 23, 2022 21:51:52 Congratulations to Victoria. She will be a strong contender to win the National pageant. (NT) -- Good luck to her., Sat July 23, 2022 22:38:58 And she gets to compete at an actual PAGEANT with a REAL production, judges, and a non-predetermined winner! (NT) -- No name, Sun July 24, 2022 01:37:15 Blown away by the Quality of the competition in this pageant! Although they didn’t have a large number of contestants, the ones they had were amazing, in both teen and Miss! Kudos to the Georgia board for recruiting in such a thoughtful way, especially in light of all the obstacles thrown up by the MAO Organization. Congrats to Victoria and Kaitlyn and best wishes for a fabulous year in this exciting new system! (NT) -- No name, Sun July 24, 2022 07:14:07 Agree, I think we will see more girls make the switch. MAO (even at state level) is becoming so obvious picking who the board wants, not high score - the final ballot is a direct throwback to the racism roots - now extending to size, body art (piercings/tattoos), orientation, even hair color or length! (NT) -- No name, Sun July 24, 2022 14:04:16 😂 volunteer also has final ballot! (NT) -- No name, Sun July 24, 2022 20:13:36 unfortunate (NT) -- No name, Sun July 24, 2022 22:06:49 The talent in this pageant was much better than the talent in the Top 15 at Miss Georgia MAO. (NT) -- At both pageants, Mon July 25, 2022 18:39:10 I’m sure Miss Georgia had SIX talents that were as good as this SIX! Why do you constantly compare the 2??? (NT) -- No name, Mon July 25, 2022 19:53:11 Not a fan of 2.0, but GA’s top 5 all had really good talents. Victoria is quite talented, but definitely don’t agree the Volunteer’s pageant talent was better than Miss GA MAO.

The rest didn’t start competing until volunteer was a thing. Keep in mind Volunteer has been a thing since 2019 in TN.

Miss Ky got nothing at Nationals. She was sure she would get talent and or interview. (NT) -- No name, Fri June 17, 2022 15:57:19 Oregon's website says it is not til January !? (NT) -- No name, Tue June 21, 2022 10:26:26 January is before MAO locals, so they can scoop up all the open/regional girls after MAO state. Once MOV state has happened, the girls are released and can do MAO locals! It is brilliant! (NT) -- No name, Mon July 11, 2022 22:55:21 Double check that. Hearing MAO is coming down hard and enforcing all contract rules! Including the one that says as long as you are holding your title, you can’t compete in any other system. If you do, you have to resign. Hearing that has impacted numbers in other states. (NT) -- No name, Fri July 22, 2022 23:20:25 In Oregon, MAO Regional and Open titleholders are released from their contracts the day after finals. Volunteer is a state open, likewise girls are released after finals. MAO local titles are bound till they crown their replacement. So Oregon Volunteer set up a win-win: They get all the girls without titles; those girls get practice (of course one wins) just in time for Oregon's local season to start.

And in the 4 hour time period that the pageant took, the production numbers took up maybe 20 total minutes and the contestants were IN two of those numbers.

Fantastic show production. I’m in love with the old Hollywood musical vibes. (NT) -- No name, Fri July 08, 2022 08:50:39 The reason Volunteer has a prelim night, even when they don't have lot of contestants, or eliminate anyone on final night, is because the national rules require them to get a composite score from the judges after the prelim, which becomes 25% of the score for final night. (NT) -- No name, Sun July 10, 2022 07:56:10 Not true. MANY states have had a one night state pageant and like MAO they follow the local pageant guidelines. (NT) -- No name, Sun July 10, 2022 13:05:00 I thought the actual production numbers were the best I have seen in years. The REST of the pageant however, we WAY WAY WAY to long.

Watching the pageant on EplusTV at home and the talent winner sounded very pitchy and all over the place in some parts, I didn't have her as the talent winner at all.

Subject: Does anyone know what the cost will be to start a local? I’m not talking about the cost of actually having the local but I’m guessing there is a cost paid to the state and MVA to start a local. I am looking into a MAO local too but MAO seems like the past and Volunteer seems like the future. It’s just hard to even say that as a former MAO state candidate (long, long ago)

I can completely empathize with you. As an MAO ‘former’, I too, wished to eventually become an ED. When I was approached, however, my gut drove me to decline the offer. It’s no longer what it was during my day, and I felt less than authentic leading a program that I could not fully rally around with confidence. Also considering MVA… (NT) -- No name, Thu May 19, 2022 22:49:32 I don't believe there is any local fee paid to MVA. In my state, the state org simply asks the local to pay the entry fees for its contestants. It probably varies state to state. (NT) -- No name, Fri May 20, 2022 08:45:20 It would be incredibly hard to maintain that business model. Corporate (Allison), needs $. For someone with connections, gathering sponsors & donations is easy; now comes the part where these benefactors will expect a return on their investment from our titleholder. MVA is not like MAO Foundation, or even MAO itself. MVA is set up as a for profit corporation - no tax deductions at all. "Donors" may not be so generous next year.

MVA is a non profit and donations made to state scholarship funds are tax exempt when made through the MVA Foundation, which is a 501 (c) (3).

yes (NT) -- No name, Sat May 07, 2022 23:04:42 Clearly she was exceptionally prepared and was a serious Top 5 level competitor, but watching online there was something odd about her. It appeared her makeup was -white- from under her eyes down her checks. I wondered if she might have vitiligo and this was makeup to cover it. Along with the straight black hair, it made her face appear elongated. But looking at the parade photos, she's nothing like that, so it must have been her makeup on Saturday??

(NT) -- No name, Sat May 07, 2022 23:11:38 Absolutely. They probably placed her lower so it wouldn’t looked rigged, especially since the entire peanut gallery of Voy determined from the get-go that she couldn’t win or it was rigged.

They pushed her down to avoid controversy. -- No name, Sat May 07, 2022 23:37:34 Or she did incredible on stage but didn’t win it in interview. You have to remember the t is always won in interview and obviously the judges did their job and judged during prelims each event separately. (NT) -- No name, Sat May 07, 2022 23:55:38 There were so many gorgeous, not just throw out the word gorgeous, but STUNNING young women competing; so many accomplished and well educated (& at exceptional schools), so many who had talents you'd want to see again!, and all their gowns were glamorous with national level presentations/ poise. I can't remember a pageant with tougher competition!! It was the first time I though the cliche pageant statement "the judges have such a tough job picking one" was overwhelmingly true! It could have been so many girls night! (NT) -- No name, Sun May 08, 2022 14:55:33 Saying all this, there were a few that distinguished themselves. Miss Utah stood out to me in the opening number. She was sexy and beautiful and compelling to watch. As she competed, I understood why she kept advancing and would continue to- she had an aura of being grounded emotionally & mentally, with a mix of girl next door and glamour. When Miss NJ was called into the T15 and walked to the wrong side of the stage and moved over to the other side, the way she handled it I knew she would be T5 bc she was fun! And so comfortable in her own skin. Miss RI was drop dead gorgeous and since she was going to Wharton for her MBA, she was my pick at that point. (NT) -- No name, Sun May 08, 2022 15:23:44 Great show Miss Volunteer America Organization! YOU DID IT! You brought back the glamour and excitement. Congratulations! (NT) -- No name, Sat May 07, 2022 23:38:39 I suspect this-that TN was "canceled" because it could look rigged if she won. To me, she was far and away the best on stage and the most commanding and stunning. Utah feels like the "girl next door". Pretty enough but didn't really stand out to me at all.. (NT) -- No name, Sun May 08, 2022 00:47:37 You will learn as you get to know her this next year, she is fabulous and obviously the judges loved her. Pageants are always won in interview! TN was great onstage, but that doesn't mean she had the best interview. (NT) -- No name, Sun May 08, 2022 01:17:31 TN was too young and not ready to lead this organization. (NT) -- No name, Sun May 08, 2022 01:19:23 I finally realized who TN reminded me of-- Kim Kardashian. I know she's very popular with young women but that she's known to be so 'manufactured' sits wrong with many and isn't something to emulate. (NT) -- Loved her in competition. Exceptional., Sun May 08, 2022 15:32:55 Utah is facially prettier than TN. TN just knows how to do the USA glamour with hair and makeup. Utah is styled more MAO, but has better raw materials than TN. TN is cute as a button but not beautiful. She knows how to USA style herself. That said, TN nailed her onstage performance. (NT) -- No name, Sun May 08, 2022 08:54:41 Any of the top five could have won and they all would have been great (NT) -- No name, Sun May 08, 2022 01:38:52 What songs did the top 5 use for their talents?

(NT) -- No name, Sun May 08, 2022 18:55:49 I was delighted to see UT won..her authenticity came across with ease, as well as poise. I thought TN was strong, but somewhat ‘made up’ and appeared a bit unapproachable..just from watching only. Would have preferred GA in her spot in the T10. I was sincerely shocked to not see her advance to the T5. (NT) -- No name, Sun May 08, 2022 21:18:18 Sorry-typo! Would have preferred that GA too TN spot in T5!

We are only human. That said, all scoring ‘should’ be only contingent upon performance in each phase of competition. The playing field has a better chance to be ‘leveled’ if they all had finished interview the same day. Just my 2 cents… (NT) -- No name, Thu May 05, 2022 21:50:45 And TN just won again! The judges love her! (NT) -- Can’t wait to see how this plays out, Thu May 05, 2022 21:57:56 What's not to like? She is fabulous. (NT) -- No name, Thu May 05, 2022 22:11:25 Fabulous or not, if TN wins MVA is one and done. No one will believe it isn't rigged and very few state directors (especially those that appointed and planned to hold a pageant for next year which is a lot of them) will send a titleholder again. That is just the way it is. (NT) -- No name, Thu May 05, 2022 22:53:24 Tennessee IS fabulous and looks like the best so far. Anyone including the state directors can see it! She is competing fairly and is stunning and intelligent! (NT) -- No name, Fri May 06, 2022 02:41:04 Her talent was not the "best". It was entertaining but no technique. What the state directors can see is that it is not going to be a fair contest if TN wins. (NT) -- No name, Fri May 06, 2022 05:08:54 Since when has talent ever been a talent competition in the last 20 years? It's entertainment value. Besides, it's only 25%, right? (NT) -- No name, Fri May 06, 2022 10:10:36 If a bunch of petulant directors are going to cry and whine and pick up their marbles and go home because a beautiful and talented contestant wins a pageant fairly, well they don’t really have the integrity to be directors in the first place. If Tennessee was competing for any other state she would be on everybody’s shortlist and you all know it. The organization shouldn’t be penalized because the host state fielded a quality candidate. There’s nothing unfair about that. It stands to reason that the Tennessee organization is much deeper when it comes to fielding candidates than other states because they’ve been at it longer . It shouldn’t come as a surprise that their candidate is a heavy hitter. My advice: keep building your organization and come back ready to compete. (NT) -- No name, Fri May 06, 2022 07:27:06 A twenty year old is not ready to lead a national organization in its first year . They need a seasoned graduate that’s been in the real world . (NT) -- No name, Fri May 06, 2022 10:52:17 Completely agreed! And the way this scoring is broken down, it is entirely possible for someone who doesn't win a prelim to win this whole thing, especially because watching prelims suggest the scoring (especially in Group C) is very tight.

EVERY year it's the same thing, whether its Miss America or here now. People bitch about how the southern states are always doing so well, and the northern girls and the east coast girls never get anything. It's because pageants are a lifestyle in the south, the girls live and breath them and are prepared better. They know what it takes to win, and don't "play" at pageants. Stop re-hashing old arguements and enjoy the fact we have a real pageant again. (NT) -- No name, Fri May 06, 2022 02:40:20 I don’t think the southern girls are walking away with this.

There are plenty of other contestants who are getting noticed in a big way. New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire - all three have been stunning on stage so far and if they have decent talents, they’ll be in the 15.. (NT) -- No name, Fri May 06, 2022 07:32:07

(NT) -- No name, Mon May 02, 2022 22:27:40 I don't think this necessarily means they will definitely crown a singer. I think it is part of the package if a singer is chosen but I don't think that is set in stone. If it is, they will begin to have the same credibility problems MAO has. Transparency and integrity means you aren't going into nationals with a foregone conclusion (in any form), I am trusting they are going to be fair until they prove otherwise.

(NT) -- No name, Thu February 17, 2022 10:11:09 Not sure where you are coming up with the idea that she was a heavy favorite . Maybe in her and her mothers mind but not in anyone else’s (NT) -- No name, Mon February 21, 2022 09:11:15 Not related to her, never met her, but I did attend the pageant and she was, in fact, a favorite after prelims. I think most people agreed with the eventual winner, but Jordan, Natalie, Marissa and the 1RU (I forget her name) were all in the conversation. Also, people knew she competed well in OK, which is a notoriously tough state in which to crack the top 5; so yes, she was seen as one of the favorites. Maybe not to win, but a definite top 5. I personally had her as first or second RU. She's a strong competitor and now that she gets to compete in SS and Gown, I expect her to be event stronger - she's just stunning on stage. When she came out in gown, everybody knew she won that prelim - and she did. (NT) -- No name, Mon February 21, 2022 09:54:13 The 1RU’s name is Taryn, and she is returning this year! I really liked her and thought with a better talent selection, she could have won last year. I agree with you that Jordan was on most top 5 lists last year - both before and especially after prelims. I thought it would come down to her and Sydney, with Sydney winning. It was a strong top 4 and I think JS would have rounded it out perfectly had she been able to compete finals night. (NT) -- No name, Mon February 21, 2022 17:03:39 If Jordan didn’t really break any rules and it was only a technicality . Why did she compete this year in Miss NY ? (NT) -- No name, Mon February 21, 2022 17:32:13 Still with this? No one said she didn’t break a rule. She did. There just didn’t seem to be any ill intentions behind it. She needed to clean a competition garment, but she wasn’t supposed to remove it from the dressing room. That’s the rule, she broke it, was held accountable. Same sorta thing happened to Monique Evans in TX, although her situation seemed a bit more egregious. She had pro hair and makeup people, which is not allowed. She got the boot, but was able to come back the next year (and won). All that seems fine to me. You’ll have to ask her why she’s doing Volunteer, but I don’t believe she’s banned from MAO. I can imagine there are hurt feelings, so I can’t blame her for moving on. It’s not that dramatic, people.

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sun March 06, 2022 16:30:44 I want this pageant to succeed, but I am sure my post is about to be deleted and I will be blocked. I served on a committee to develop a new national pageant years ago. We tried to develop something that was completely new and fresh and innovative. The organizer opted to invest in something deemed more profitable and was correct with that decision, with the company that was developed now worth more than $100.000.000.00. That said, the organizer insisted that beauty events (the organizer hated the word “pageant” because it represented antiquated thinking) were outdated and no longer necessary and had to become relevant if they were to survive. We specifically looked at the current events and were to innovate, innovate, innovate, and we did. We created pipelines, developed related organizations, created mock marketing campaigns and opportunities for non-contestants to receive scholarships and recognition. More than $50,000 was invested. I was so excited at what we created and so disappointed when other projects were selected. I signed many non-disclosure agreements, so I cannot share ideas, but I believe our ideas would have revitalized pageants or at least shifted the conversation. With that said, I heard a few weeks ago about this organization. I was hopeful. Now, I am not. I see a logo that is an obvious copy of the Miss America logo. I see a crown that is obviously a replica of the Miss America Crown. I see a format that copied Miss America to the letter. I question whether the goal is to create an event that will survive or simply try to hurt Miss America. I guess of those two options, hurting Miss America is more likely, but if the pageant is to be a nationally recognized event in ten years, leadership is failing. I am SO disappointed in the direction Miss America has gone. Miss USA seems to be holding on a bit better, but I hear the death knell for both systems. To Miss Volunteer, INNOVATE and for heaven’s sake, consider another name. Everyone knows the title is named after Tennessee… maybe use each state’s nickname in the state title, but change the national title name. I want you to succeed, but doing what others were doing, and failing, is a lazy and guaranteed way to fail at your goal. I am ready to hear that I am a hater or a loser or whatever else you want to throw my way, but I do want this thing to get off the ground. Remember this: Miss America was in REAL decline using the format you copied. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I realize that just about everything with America or United States is tied up in other systems. But I agree, I cannot stand the name. What about Miss American Spirit? Is that taken? It's also not the greatest, but better than Volunteer. (NT) -- No name, Sun March 06, 2022 19:04:01 The name is irrelevant . The key is to get good contestants . They need to offer more than scholarships. They need to offer other opportunities. That will generate interest . More contestants more sponsors . Perfect example is tonight on American idol former Miss America made the cut and is going to Hollywood . Get these girls opportunity in acting, singing , dancing, news casting . That’s what these girls want . Most are not interested in being VP of large corporations. They want to be on the red carpet (NT) -- No name, Sun March 06, 2022 20:49:24 BTW. Questioning your credibility if you only heard about volunteer a few weeks ago. The crown and logo look nothing like MAO. And while the 4 areas of competition are the same as 1.0 was - the weighting, criteria, scoring and process are completely unique. I’d recommend a little more research on the organization if I believed you were actually interested…. But seems you have other motives… (NT) -- No name, Mon March 07, 2022 11:31:46 The original poster has an agenda and it certainly isn’t to help the organization. I’m laughing at her ignorance and lack of credibility (NT) -- No name, Mon March 07, 2022 16:43:35 For the past 18 years +, professionally, my company has specialized in rebranding and national company expansion. I really, really want to see this system prevail. Realistically remember it takes time for any entity to obtain small, medium and large goals. Be patient and fans being vested as ur to be on this board, spread your positive enthusiasm on your social media, repost and share. My tips for the day: once the national board has laid their foundation their focus should shift to developing unified state's business plan with nationals providing each state with the tools they need to increase exposure hence numbers. (NT) -- No name, Tue March 08, 2022 15:47:36 Only thing I would suggest that they need to do is to vet their state directors and sponsors more carefully. I am seeing some MAO crossovers that are nothing but pot-stirring troublemakers. And, change the name. (NT) -- No name, Tue March 08, 2022 22:14:19 Excuse my ignorance, please expand on vetting their state directors etc. (NT) -- No name, Wed March 09, 2022 14:43:46 Well I did answer but someone apparently is hypersensitive to the truth and deleted it. Although I don’t necessarily feel this way, to some the selective editing only confirms what many people have expressed. That is that Volunteer may turn into a place for MAO rejects to go and be EDs, sponsors, etc. If you have ever seen Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer it is akin to the Island of Misfit Toys and the nose is brown as opposed to red. There is little doubt some people just want to stir the pot in every system that will permit them to have any involvement. (NT) -- No name, Thu March 17, 2022 19:42:11 Actually it’s just the opposite. MAO will be come the organization for the rejects . Once the girls see the opportunities Volunteer will offer they will flock there . MAO will be the pageant for overweight girls with no talent (NT) -- No name, Wed March 23, 2022 01:51:10 Actually I was not referring to contestants but rather the sponsors, judges, some EDs and such that have ruined MAO with their politics, backstabbing and secretive deal making. I noticed some already. There are plenty of unqualified as well as qualified candidates in both systems. However, if Volunteer is simply going to be just another version of MAO (by that I mean unethical behavior, conflicts, politics, etc) then I am fine if they both go under. If they don’t then Volunteer will ultimately come out on top. (NT) -- No name, Wed March 23, 2022 09:04:15

Tennessee looks like they had a good turn out but most of the others looked like around 7 candidates. Our local MOA pageants are attracting way more than their State so far. I thought for sure more would gravitate toward Volunteer but it didn't happen in our state. (NT) -- No name, Fri October 15, 2021 16:02:36 Maybe girls are tired of MAO (1.0 or 2.0) in general. Oregon only had 18, four of which were "at large" (NT) -- No name, Fri October 15, 2021 16:22:05 I think a lot of girls are just tired of pageants in general- the backhanded deals, cheating, backstabbing, etc. It’s gotten old, leadership is bad in many states and allows the garbage to happen. Also, pageants are just not “relevant” anymore. It’s a huge investment of time and money. The older a young woman gets, the more she sees through the whole mess. College age girls trying to win scholarships is great but once a young woman enters the workplace, she sees through the BS, especially in MAO now. (NT) -- No name, Sun October 17, 2021 11:32:21 Now that is pouring some truth all over some people. I could swear you could be from my state. For almost every teen or miss competing in MAO it is a losing proposition if scholarship money is their reason for competing. This is especially true for those involved from the princess stage. When you add wardrobe, fees, lessons, gas, hotels, etc you are well into the red. If scholarship money is what you want then apply yourself to your education. I could not sgree more with the corruption, rigged competition, politics and the irrelevance of pageants in general. (NT) -- No name, Sat March 19, 2022 05:41:48 There were only 4 girls in Kansas. (NT) -- No name, Sun October 17, 2021 15:30:56 Was very impressed by Kansas inaugural Production and the caliber of woman who competed.

(NT) -- No name, Tue October 19, 2021 12:34:12 There are only 8 candidates in Miss South Carolina Volunteer. Seems like just another pageant in the world of pageants. Not much to be excited for yet. (NT) -- No name, Thu October 21, 2021 13:20:11 Think she's doing magic. (NT) -- No name, Fri March 11, 2022 16:17:34 The MAO has more girls competing but does that mean anything if the majority of those contestants aren't qualified to be on a state stage? Every state is being required to hold a digital competition- video of talent & ted talk w live interview. There are no minimum contestants required- states just tell the MAO how many titles they are giving. 10 titles requested, 8 girls enter, they crown all 8. These are the girls who couldn't win a local, there as fundraisers for the girls who did win a local. When you take out the girls that shouldn't be there, the MAO doesn't have many 'real' contestants. (NT) -- Volunteer could flouish but we know that the MAO isn't., Sat March 12, 2022 13:38:10 I don't think Volunteer had any minimum requirements. They have been holding State pageants with fewer than 7 contestants and some of those where definitely not State ready. It just seems that Volunteer has rushed to get a national pageant together. Our state had 7 contestants and probably only 3 were maybe ready for a state title. I'm anxious to see how next year goes for them. With a few exceptions, this year is a wash for me. I do like GA, SC , Mississippi,Tennessee, and Louisiana. (NT) -- No name, Sat March 12, 2022 15:04:23 Most girls are to heavy to put a swimsuit on so they go to MOA (NT) -- No name, Sat March 12, 2022 17:25:51 Your list was my original top 5.

I'm not sure who I would remove from the list though! LOL! (NT) -- No name, Sun March 13, 2022 08:22:44 I think they'll have the best 5 contestants in the Top 5 regardless of where they are from.

(NT) -- No name, Wed February 09, 2022 15:22:01 The website lists Laura Lineberry as Chairman & CEO - but I think the bigger issue is that MAO girls are scared to compete for fear of being "black balled" by the Florida MAO board should they ever want to compete in MAO again.

(NT) -- No name, Fri November 19, 2021 19:23:53 Boy that is true (NT) -- No name, Fri November 19, 2021 19:58:16 It was a huge financial burden to take on between literally one couple who saw the potential in this organization -- mind you ALL out of pocket during a pandemic.

(NT) -- No name, Thu January 13, 2022 02:11:44 It will continue to grow and yes -- they were SMART to pass it off to another director rather than be selfish and hold onto it, leading it to destruction.

(NT) -- No name, Wed September 15, 2021 22:50:53 Once nationals were pushed to May, most of the states took the opportunity to push back as well, because the farther away from Covid, the better. And more time to fundraise & recruit never hurts. The girls had to wait 2 years to compete at state, so they were already obligated to the MAO during the early Vol state pageants. The new pageant season is upon us. Now we'll see who wants to compete in Volunteer. (NT) -- No name, Wed September 15, 2021 23:36:30 Well, so far, there are only 8 state titleholders, and 5 more states with pageant dates, which leads me to believe they're going to have to have a fair number of at-large state titleholders if they want a truly national pageant their first time out.

That and changing Covid requirements in varying states and it's a new program that needed to get fundraising off the ground quickly (during Covid). If the MAO runs the 100th like the 99th, that's when there may be some movement over to Volunteer. (NT) -- No name, Fri November 12, 2021 12:02:12

Subject: Can we talk crowns? I think the Miss Volunteer crowns are beautiful. The teen crowns in several pictures I’ve seen are way too wide on the teens heads. Hopefully, directors see this and next year have the crowns made a bit smaller.

Not a fan of the Volunteer crowns. They seem way too big on most of the candidates heads. Distracts from the looks of the ladies. (NT) -- No name, Fri October 29, 2021 12:03:10 I think they are beautiful!! (NT) -- No name, Fri October 29, 2021 16:18:13
