[> Subject: Why would any girl CHOSE to compete in a pageant that is clearly fixed to crown a FACE rather than a young lady who has talent and substance?? After a while after spending thousands of dollars on pageantry, girls will realized that its not worth the money you shell out to compete in a pageant that they have no chance of winning.

[> [> Subject: While a contestant is in school they have what's known as dual eligability. It's an MAO rule. College housing ends when school ends and they have breaks through out the year, during all of which they are home, so you're looking at about a 50/50 split. Losing contestants is just another result of Sherry's manipulation, not their housing situation. She will not allow a contestant who attends college out of state to win the title (or attends college at all for that matter so she can keep the 10,000) so the smart women leave.

I am a bit confused here; these contestants are going to school or working out of the state. Most schools start in late August and finish in May if you are on a dance / cheer squad, sports team or band you report at the beginning of August; meaning you are committed and out of the state for 8 to 9 months. It is not fair to the local title or even really possible to attend school out of state and adequately serve MD local / state. These contestants have made a choice to attend school and continuing to participate in MAO near their schools and while I will always root for my home state I will keep them in my thoughts.

[> [> Subject: Most of the young women who leave Maryland don't do a damn thing when they do. They all end of losing. Sara Zhang is the one exception and of course didnt was standing on stage with the rest of the clappers when the top 15 were chosen. Let em go.
