[> Subject: Miss Ohio Emily Legenza 1RU Caitin Seifert 2RU Caroline Trennepohl 3RU Lucabella LaEace 4RU Marisa Matsanoff Top 10 Stephanie Finoti Baylee Martin Olivia Fossen Lauren Partin Wildcard Author: bubble: Autumn Kessler & Britney Putman [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:03:38 04/24/24 Wed [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Agree with many, but would replace Piper with Putman. Unsure of the winner, but think Stephanie is completely T5 Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:58:28 04/24/24 Wed [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: From the times I've spoken with Stephanie, she seems like she needs some work on her social skills with the public. Doesn't have the level of decorum required in a state titleholder. Same for Caroline Trennepohl. There's something very off about her socially. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:35:00 04/25/24 Thu [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Agree about Betty…however, Stephanie seems to have learned a thing or two with regards to presence and interaction. Her social media is thoughtfully crafted, intelligent, and authentic. I would not count her out! Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:21:06 04/27/24 Sat [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Emily Legenza is NOT going to win. Her placement last year was just luck. Her talent isn't as good as she thinks, she's rude to the volunteers and gets lost in the crowd. Putman is pretty but is just a state hopper. Her talent at Clayland wasn't very good and her gown and fitness were a little whacky. Marisa Matsanoff is just one of Rian Valentines pawn's and a way to get her foot in the door at Miss America. She thinks she's the new Becky Minger but she's just a wannabe. Stephanie is overhyped. If she brings that terrible evening gown walk back to Miss Ohio, she might as well kiss Top 10 goodbye with the caliber of talent. Miss Ohio this years is going to be whoever SO has already picked. Probably someone like Autumn because he feels sorry for her or Lucabella because she will say yes to whatever he says.

[> [> Subject: If any girl wants to win, why go to Ryan? She produces over processed girls. Oxford must have been rigged because according to Henri's all the girl who won Miss titles were her girls. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:56:26 04/25/24 Thu [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: IMO my top 3 in no particular order are Lucabella LaEace, Caroline Betty Trenepohl, or Emily Legenza. Rounding out the top 5 Caitlin Seifert and Stephanie Finoti Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:07:44 04/25/24 Thu [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: They would be stupid to let Olivia Fosson slip through their fingers. I think it may be a mistake to overlook her - I feel like she's flying under the radar intentionally. She has the best talent, the best public speaking skills, and the best education. Can't forget that she placed Top 8 at Distinguished Young Women nationals and won the interview award. If you want a Miss America contender, she's your girl. Not to mention she's actually done stuff with her CSI. I actually like that she doesn't have an over processed, typical "pageant" look Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:13:02 04/26/24 Fri [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: These reasons are exactly why she won’t be Steven’s choice. He doesn’t want anyone who can contend at Miss America. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:02:42 04/26/24 Fri [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Are you kidding me? Olivia Fosson may be talented but is the definition of "over-processed." Her blonde hair is as fake as can be. Her style is terrible, always has been, and her speaking voice is just like nails on a chalk board. Just like the Clayland. Too pageant patty and processed. If girls like this keep winning, SO doesn't have a shot at a Miss America. Crown a girl like Marisa Matsanoff. That girl has it in the bag. She's exactly what Robin is looking for Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:08:44 04/27/24 Sat [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Steven Oliveri's branding throughout his entire 20 plus years has been 'Ohio' doesn't want a Miss America. Ohio wants a good Miss Ohio. Translation: Steven and the board don't want an independent, driven woman. Think... Madison. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:13:17 04/27/24 Sat [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: This board doesn't want a Miss America. They want a good Miss Ohio. Does MM have eligibility left after this year? Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:13:56 04/27/24 Sat [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: as if Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:47:52 04/28/24 Sun LOLLLLL since when does polished equal over-processed? Anyone would be an idiot to think that shade of blonde is natural and i don’t think she’d deny that. Marisa is pretty but that’s it. No hate intended but she is not an actual competitor at the state OR national level. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: It's clear you're grasping to find anything to hate her. Only 2% of Americas are blond, so everyone is bleaching too. Author: don't recall a problem with her wardrobe & her blond hair suits her skin tone [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:57:33 04/30/24 Tue [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: I'm sorry, Olivia's fitness is not to the level of a state titleholder. None of the buy-ins are either (except Miss River Days). And Olivia placed third at Portsmouth, where Stephanie and Baylee bested her. State competitions do have more experienced judges, so the stronger girls will be recognized. She's definitely T10, but they don't let anyone in the T5 who isn't ready to go to Miss America. Author: How is she the best educated? Isn't her Bachelor's in theater or music performance?

[> [> [> Subject: you should go to hell Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:34:57 05/01/24 Wed how dare you get on this website and hide behind a screen saying someone is not fit enough to be Miss Ohio. i know damn well you would not say that in person because you would get your ass beat (and that is a threat). you have no idea who is struggling with eating disorders and body image issues. getting on here criticizing someone’s body - especially someone whose entire platform is about accepting your body - is insane. i sure hope no one points out your flaws in person because that is horrifically damaging. maybe come up and introduce yourself to me during miss ohio week and ill tell you what’s wrong with you in person, not behind a screen <3 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: clarification Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:40:25 05/01/24 Wed this wasn’t posted by olivia fyi - just someone that thinks you’re a coward. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Excuse me. I'd tell any one of these girls they are too heavy to win if they came and asked me, because I WON'T LIE TO THEM. Proof: Name me a heavy Miss Ohio (that wasn't crowned bc a board member walked in on her changing, on purpose, & Steven was concerned she'd talk). They can face reality now, or in 5 weeks.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Fitness is a judged category. There isn’t anything wrong with saying “Sally isn’t strong in fitness” or “Debbie lacks the fitness to be Miss Ohio. Grow up. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:16:35 05/02/24 Thu [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Fitness is a judged category and it has nothing to do with size,(imo). I have attended a lot of locals this year and regularly see contestants on stage wearing something they should not because it doesn’t fit well. This is not about body shaming, it’s about appearance, confidence, and proper wardrobe. For example, Diamond is not a “stick figure” but that girl rocked every fitness competition I saw her in this year because she picked appropriately sized Rebel wear, wears it confidently, and looks like she is enjoying her fitness walk (more inside). Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:50:21 05/05/24 Sun If I can see the outline of your belly button through your interview outfit or gown, or if you ordered a size too small in your rebel outfit which causes your skin to spill out over it, that does not look good and if audience members notice this, you can be sure that judges will notice this too. All of these candidates need have someone on their side that is honest enough and cares about them doing well to tell them the truth when their wardrobe has flaws. It doesn’t matter if it’s a family member, trusted friend, or someone they hire, body acceptance does not equal a license to look sloppy. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Olivia is very fit. Just because she’s not built like a stick does not mean that she’s not fit. She consistently talks about her eating disorder recovery and injury that debilitated her for a year and a half while recovering. People like you are exactly why pageant girls are so prone to eating disorders and don’t seek treatment. I’m proud of her for coming back after recovering and being an example of sustainable health. She also attended a top 3 musical theatre school, which produced 3 Miss Americas. Not to mention she is the ONLY contestant in law school. She is getting her JD from OSU Moritz - a top 30 law school. So I think it’s fair to say that she’s the most educated. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:38:05 05/01/24 Wed [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Caroline Trenepohl and Caitlin Seifert both have Master's degrees. Until Olivia graduates they are the most educated. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:35:07 05/02/24 Thu [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Isn't Brittney Putnam at Moritz as well? That's why she moved to Ohio, yes? Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:11:21 05/05/24 Sun [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Brittney doesn’t go to Moritz school of law, Olivia is the only one in law school. putman has two Associates degrees and is finishing her bachelor’s in addiction research at OSU currently that way she can attend Law School here as well.

[> [> [> [> Subject: People here are not the reason girls are so prone to eating disorders. That's. their. issue. If they can't handle being JUDGED in FITNESS bc of an eating disorder, they should not be entering pageants. Do you believe being overweight should be overlooked if a girl claims an eating disorder? We saw with Madelanah McFarland and others that Ohio, nor any other state, is ever crowning a girl who is not height weight proportionate, regardless of fitness level, even when there was no 'fitness' comp. She's got everything else going for her, imo, but needs another year. She's young. Author: Don't assume the public knows of her issues.

[> Subject: Caroline needs to cut her hair for competition. It overwhelms her tiny frame. She's not cutting that hair for MA, if she hasn't cut it for states. As a judge, I'd take it as a sign of a girl who's gonna do what she wants to do. Author: She has more pride in the length of her hair, than the look of it- which is a bit creepy.

[> [> Subject: She cut it!! She looks like a new woman! Lost that hair that did nothing for her. The curly style in her head shot balances her chin out and looks polished and fresh. It looks good worn up too. It would be amazing worn with a big chignon on top and give her height. Author: Straight hair down the length of her face with a curl topping the shoulders brings attention right to her chin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:46:38 05/24/24 Fri [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
