[> Subject: I hope SF wins this year, when was the last time MO sent a POC to MA? Embarrassing in 2024. Love how they rigged that sweeps title for Olivia Fossen too! Author: the level of girls competing is sad [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:46:04 02/12/24 Mon [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: A lot to unpack here. #1. Attempting to shame Oliveri and the Board over the representation in Ohio won't work-- a black girl hasn't won in 19 years under them! Heather won when Steven was forced out of the ED position that year and didn't get his judge's chair, and people put it together. The black girls left, realizing they can't win. You can't send a black girl if none are competing. #2. Black contestants in the last 10ys: Bry Atchinson '15 who didn't get the memo & tried again in '17; Diamond Coleman & Desi Hunt in '22 as virtual contestants; '23 Stephanie Finoti as a buy-in. #3. Ohio River isn't a sweeps title, Olivia Fossen outright won a local. Robin is putting big pressure on the states to boost numbers, so it's not uncommon for locals to be pressured into adding another title.

[> [> [> Subject: Southern was their third title prior. Ivy Parker won Ohio River at sweeps in 2022 and it was supposed to be a buy in/sweeps title again, but the girl didn’t end up competing in 2023.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: OMG- yOu KnOw WhO's back. Well, she does hold one record in the program- Queen of Clapping! She competed for Twenty-six local crowns and never won. All in 2 seasons. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:47:54 02/16/24 Fri [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: I don't think that is a record. I clearly remember someone that had to compete in 31 locals before winning a title. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:48:05 02/18/24 Sun [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Not much of a surprise with the winners. With only a few locals left, I am curious about the following: (1) who will ‘pay to play’ by purchasing their ticket to compete at state; (2) how many ‘appointed’ titles will be awarded; (3) just how much does that purchase cost? Some states charge >1500!! Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:42:13 02/15/24 Thu [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: They'll appoint as many titles as girls buy! They make money from each contestant's f&f from four nights of pageant tickets @$162 each seat and Coronation event is $35 still? So $200 for every person a contestant brings. New girl$ tend to bring in lot$ of people, excited to be competing. If only Mom, dad, sibs, GMa & Dad, BF, BFFs- That's a sweet $2,000. I'd give you a $500 discount to net $1,500+. Author: Now that they have to pay Robin that franchise fee, they may discount [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:20:48 02/16/24 Fri [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
