[> Subject: Unfortunately, the short answer is yes. If she has eligibility elsewhere she should use it. I think Arcadia is lovely, the same as all the women who have left the state or quit competing, but you have to open your eyes to what is going on in MD.

[> Subject: Re: arcadia Ewell Author: no name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, July 06, 01:30:08am I had the pleasure of competing with her and without a doubt she should have placed top 10! She really improved in talent and lost a lot of weight and really looked healthy. And we all know she kills it at the interview! Plus, she was one of the girls that got really sick and the fact that she was off stage getting sick moments before walking out on that stage and performing she still killed it. IMO.... the judge should have known that too! to simply tell the judges some girls were sick was wrong they should have known just what girls. You rock Arcadia! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: arcadia Ewell I agree Arcadia should have placed, she has worked hard and it shows. She loves the program and would be a amazing representative at Miss America. Author: Catalina [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, July 07, 12:01:46am [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: arcadia Ewell Author: Just how I see it [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, July 06, 11:28:47am You can't blame just one person in what is happening in this system as a whole. It's a dying art because most contestants lack substance. Using MD as an example I'm not sure how 3/4 of the miss and teens could write one word on their platform statement because they don't do anything. When it's acceptable at every level to lie and embellish the resume and platform statement you eventually get winners that don't make sense and have no substance to be interesting. The girls that really work for the system get over looked by the creative writing of someone with a wild imagination. It's also a family effort especially when it comes to the fundraising which seems to be more important every year. When you have the too focusing on #metoo and swimsuit instead of concentrating on getting quality girls to apply for the job you will continue to have a system that appears to be falling apart. When a girl works the system they do learn life lessons that no one can take away from them unlike the crown which believe it or not 95% of America could really care less about. So hats off to the real winners..those that work hard and never win because they will be much more successful in life! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: arcadia Ewell -I was there and the sound system went out on Megan Cox who performed right before her that she had to play most of her talent without a mic and they Arcadia came out and the sound system was so loud it was hard to hear her. It was like they were messing with it cause you couldn’t hear Megan that it messed up Arcadia. Half way through it sound like it went out for a second or so which might have messed her up. They let Megan completely redo her talent and they should have let Arcadia as well. Author: NONE [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, July 07, 05:31:02am [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
