Having one local title is impressive. Having five or seven - is devaluation of a name and of an idea of a "beauty queen" or a "winner". I feel sorry for Taylor, Shanice and other girls, who keep coming and the best they can do is to be top ten! It's time to move on!

Some girls don't worry about the politics and just go out and compete for the fun of it - and yes it is fun! More power to the girls who come back year after year.

Maybe it is fun when you don't have to spend tons of money for CMN, or people's choice, because, let's face it, most of the funds are raised by family members!!!! $150 or $100 in local scholarship, that not every director pays, is ridiculous, considering that between the two gowns girls spend at least $1000, that's is the modest estimation. The scholarship money is a sham! Someone should expose this hypocrisy one day!
