Subject: RE The Emily Legenza post... Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:47:33 04/27/24 Sat From the Predictions Thread: 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. ------------------------------------------------------------- IMO Emily Legenza should have been Miss Ohio last year. As a long time follower of the program, in no way do I feel her placement was ‘just luck’— she WON Interview and she certainly didn’t get lost in the crowd of 24 contestants, as she finished 1RU. That’s jealousy talking there. And How would you know how good she thinks her talent is?? That’s just you projecting your ugly intentions on her. Putnam is not a state hopper- she moved to Ohio to attend OSU’s Moritz College of Law. Your bad intentions are showing again. Rian Valentine doesn’t need a way to get her foot in the door at Miss America, she STARTED in MAO. Rian was established in pageant coaching long before Becky wandered into doing makeup. How about you know what you’re talking about, before you make aspersions on her. Seems you’re jealous that her girls are performing so well. For Pete’s sake, predicting a girl will make T10/5 is not hyping. It will be between Stephanie and Caitlin for talent. Steph has the advantage of a classical talent and judges tend to underscore baton for whatever reason, but Caitlin goes after her and seems like she’s fighting to win this year. Her energy in talent at Cleveland was the best I’ve ever seen from her. Rest assured, Portsmouth will sort out Stephanie’s walk. She’ll be in the T10, like last year, and if she interviews well, she’ll be vying for Miss Ohio. Miss Ohio is ALWAYS who the board picks, unless Steven’s plan is short-circuited by visiting MAO or the winner is undeniable, like Betta. We don’t have a Betta this year. Autumn has made T10 once in her career. This is her 8th season. If she was in the running, she would have been selected by now. There’s a reason she isn’t. As far as Lucabella- they’re not going to let her go now. She’s young and has several more years to sell ads, and they won’t let go of that revenue.

[> Subject: Mao Author: No name (Wondering) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:16:21 05/03/24 Fri Everyone involved or observing this thread should appreciate that Rian Valentine or Becky Minger is willing to provide your girls with training or guidance. Some of the seasoned participants, who seem to have been around since ancient times, must recognize that times have changed. Ohio often seems behind the times on stage almost every year. Moreover, there's a new director from southern Ohio who appears to be gathering a collection of pageants to oversee. It’s questionable if she has any personal experience on stage. Steven could have been a commendable director had he not allowed his personal biases towards certain contestants to affect his judgment. Ohio would do well to focus more on showcasing engaging performances rather than strictly classical technical abilities. Can we also talk about the acceptance of state hopping? In the flawed world we inhabit, what else can be expected? If they treat you unfairly, why not try your luck in a different state? It's absurd to claim that someone like Lucabella is too young to win. Why allow 19-year-olds to compete if we're going to say they're too young to take the title? That argument just doesn't make sense. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
