Hot Issue: Swimsuit Irrelevant in the Digital Age?

Postby ajsy0203 » Wed Jun 06, 2018 11:46 am

    

Recently Miss America Organization decided to eliminate the swimsuit competition for the first time at this year's pageant, but before that Miss World Organization already eliminated the swimsuit fast track round since 2015. Miss Teen USA also removed the swimsuit competition but it replaced with active wear competition. In your honest opinion, do you think the swimsuit competition is now irrelevant in this digital age? Do you think the hard core feminists are the initiators of the removal of the event? How we can convince that the swimsuit competition is still very important in the pageant?

I think the problem here was the Miss America Org not swimsuits. They repeatedly claimed that Miss America is a scholarship program and that they rewarded virtues not looks, the mockery was inevitable, more so when John Oliver uncovered all the money they didn't give in form of scholarships. Miss Supranational is a great example, they promote the pageant as what it really is - a celebration of natural beauty, grace and fashion.
It is about committing to what you are creating, but for that you've to believe in your product. They tried to defend the swimsuit competition with melodramatic stories of it's contestants which is a huge trend in reality shows, but the results are in and they failed.

In my honest opinion, the show, particularly Miss Universe, will be boring.

That's my take. Thank you!
PHILIPPINES is a legit Powerhouse in Beauty Pageant. Haters, deal with it!

this was already talked about before. and no, it is not good. it will be as boring as Miss World. Miss World is actually the worst coz there's no competition at all. it's an awards night raffle draw.
