 So alot of people are asking me what happened that I am so angry well when I got there they were suppose to be certain categories set out by the booklet that was sent out which I did not even receive to begin with. So once I finally looked over this booklet it said that runway was separated into age categories then once the actual competition was going on they did not do this. So of course the little kid that was competing with us adults won. Also the judges were drunk while choosing the winners as I was sitting by them at supper in the restaurant and they chose a 44 year old over tanned lady to win swim wear which many of us thought was ridiculous as she first off had no idea how to walk a runway and second did not look the way a model should. She was tanned to the point of leather skin. Not to mention the casting director herself was drunk constantly!! Everything was horribly unorganized as they would say we were suppose to be there at a certain time and then the judges and casting director would not be there until sometimes HOURS after we were told to be there. Also everyone seemed to of paid different amounts to get in, some paid up to $2000US!! While others did not pay a cent! Also I have a horror story from one of the contestants to share with you all:

After being told the same story I was (that she had no competition in the category she was performing in and that Jennifer really wanted her there as she thought that she would win) this lady had told her no and that she did not have the money for it. Jennifer assured her that if she could find her way here that there would be several other canadians here that would be driving home that she would be able to catch a ride with. So this nice lady out of alberta made the trip and competed to find out that there was NO ONE driving home and she did not have a way to get back! This lady went out on a limb with no money to get there to begin with to be stranded there in las vegas with no way home. When she told Jennifer no one was driving home her response was "Oh." So this lady ended up being stranded in the states with absolutely no money and no way to get home. That was the last I have heard from her. She had said that she was going to see if she could find someone to buy her guitar and if not she was going to go to the canadian embassy where she would get deported and never be allowed back in the USA all because of this competition and the lies endured through it. If I had extra money I would have helped get her home but both my and my moms credit cards were maxed out because of this thing and are still thinking of this woman everyday wondering how she is. So this is why I am pissed off about this entire competition and I am going to make it known to everyone to not compete in or support this in any way. The funny thing is that I did not know they were partnered with Model and Talent Search Canada (MTSC) until I was already there or I would have NEVER participated as I have dealt with MTSC and their scam's before so let this be a warning to everyone! There are quit a few of us that are trying to talk to the bureau of better business as well as the canadian government to get MTSC and USA world showcase banned from canada and our money refunded as well as reimbursed for our plane tickets and other costs endured while there.
