[> [> [> Subject: Can anyone tell me why Bailey didn’t place? Only reason I know is she competed at volunteer.. genuinely thought she might win it all this year. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:59:19 06/16/24 Sun [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Baylee is a lovely, good-hearted young woman who's a good competitor and is very supportive of the program. She's now competed at MO 5 seasons with a record of T10, NF, 2RU, 3RU, T10. #1 reason she didn't make finals- this year is the most competitive I can remember in at least a decade. Baylee strikes me as having a very childlike demeanor; not childISH, but tender and vulnerable which can come off as needy. MA's direction is a fierce, accomplished, glamorous woman, like our MA Madison. If I were a judge and therefore didn't know of her, I would believe, compared to others, she's not emotionally up to the job of a state titleholder. She's also dangerously thin. Don't come at me with reasons or it's 'fitness', the fact of the matter is she looks dangerously thin and that's not a standard I want presented to young girls. She was strong in every onstage category, but there were stronger (including Stephanie who won both prelims).

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Baylee is simply too robotic on-stage. That’s the biggest issue imo. She is incredibly beautiful, talented, and has a great personality when it shines through, like at the parade. However, she is incredibly stiff and robotic when she models. It irks me every time she competes. Additionally, an argument could be made that her participating in volunteer hurt her as well, but it’s hard to know that for certain. We all know Steven wouldn’t like it though. And I agree, Baylee comes off as a less mature than some others. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing if marketed correctly, but I don’t think she knows how to do that.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Very good points. Agree that Baylee's free-spiritedness would really work for her if she markets it the right way. Author: Caroline T competed in Volunteer as well [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:21:56 06/18/24 Tue [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: This is just my opinion but I’ve noticed a trend where if the contestant has an overly involved or outspoken parent the girl might get close but will not win. Steven doesn’t want to have to deal with a girl who has others advocating for her. Baylee has that. I’m not saying her mom has done anything wrong I’m just saying she’s very involved He also doesn’t want a girl who expresses her own opinions. He wants someone that will go along with whatever he wants without argument. Elizabetta may have been the exception. If it has to with volunteer then Luca Bella might as well hang it up too because she won there. She also needs to lighten up on the tanning or spray tanning because she looked like a teen three years ago and now she looks like she’s about to age out and she’s nowhere close to that.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: They will keep LucaBella competing for years before she wins, more money. She will always be close which keeps her coming back. Vickie has been coaching her for years and they all know it. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:01:44 06/17/24 Mon [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Madison was a NF, then 1RU, then MO. LucaBella is too good to deny, once she decides which talent she wants to present. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:14:49 06/18/24 Tue [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
