IMG HAS RUINED MISS USA/ UNIVERSE PAGEANTS!

[פיקאסו]

I read a lot of comments about this and I have to say "I COMPLETELY AGREE"

I leave some comments about this from PEOPLE in the VOY FORUM MISS USA "The bubble board"

"Okay, when I watch a beauty pageant, here is what I want to see:
1) The ten prettiest girls in the Top Ten
2) In swimsuit, I want to see all ten contestants in bikinis and high heels. I don't want to see contestants making 'statements' in different style swimsuits and I sure as hell don't want to see any one pieces. If you have to hide your body in a one piece, then you have no business being on that stage. This is a beauty contest.
3) In evening gown, I want to see elegance. And extra points for extra sequins! I don't want any gimmicks in evening gowns. Alaska honey, your gown was gorgeous...I didn't need your gimmick at the beginning to show your 1/16th heritage.
4) I don't want any more "stories." I'm sorry your entire family beat you every day and then they all died of horrible diseases and you were raised by wolves who put you through medical school. I just want to look at you.
5) I think it's great that you're smart. But dumb girls are pretty too. In fact, who can forget some of the beautiful ninnies who have endeared us over the years. If I want to see smart girls, I'll watch Jeopardy.
6) I want long shots of the contestants coming out ONE AT A TIME in each stage of the competetion. I want to look at them from every angle. I want to watch them navigate 27 stairs in high heels flawlessly in long evening gowns. I want fierce swimsuit presentations.
7) I want the top five announced and then put in that old isolation booth while each contestant answers a questions
Then, finally, I want the judges and the viewers to have one long final look at each of the Top Fives faces..then I want them to consider all of the above and come up with the right winner.
Is that too much to ask.
Now all of you who like the "new direction" can skewer me, but when I watch a beauty pageant, I expect to see a beauty pageant!"



"I haven't missed a Miss USA and a Miss Universe Pageant since I was a child in the 1960's. I've seen over 50 in a row. I can totally base my opinions on observation. The best years of Miss USA/Universe are behind us. Miss USA and Miss Universe would command large front page news as I was growing up. The winners had a gigantic prize package, made countless appearances and was in essence a big deal. Those pageants commanded large TV ratings. Today all of the opposite is true.

Gone are all of the people who understood the essence of pageantry. You didn't need to re-invent the wheel to improve upon it. Has that helped the ratings?

Miss USA contestants were usually college age students with career goals. That hasn't changed, so the over emphasis on contestants being smart is rather silly. Most Miss USA's I've ever met were intelligent young woman.

IMG is the wrong organization to produce pageants. They will undoubtedly run it into the ground very soon. The ratings are proving it,and in this business ratings are everything.

Past years we would see the parade of states and know that at least 5 girls we really, really liked would probably make it. This year none of those did! They are looking for something else. I looked at a photo of the final night judges. You had two Asians, one African American, one gay TV celebrity, and a woman in a hijab. WHAT THE HELL DID YOU EXPECT? Judges used to come from the world of beauty. Modeling agencies, reknowned photographers, and established show business figures. No more.

I apologize to the great directors of this system past and present. Gone are the wonder team of Guyrex. The late Rex Holt and Guy were one of a kind. 5 Miss USA's in a row, and all gorgeous.

Miss USA may be on its last leg. Pray for her."

the productions was good. ratings was ok

[RatedX]

They're going back to the pre-Trump controlled era where substance matters more than just physical beauty. Personally, it's better because I'd rather have women of substance (even if they're not goddesses of beauty) than prima bonna bitches.

[Galunggong]

Apparently ... America is looking for a heroine
Some kind of Wonder Woman
Someone to look up to .

They are not looking for a queen
They want a hero

[kurtij]

IT IS.

NO LONGER SEEING THE SPARKS OF IT.

I'M NO LONGER A HUGE FAN LIKE I USED TO.

[DORABIAN]

THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IS THEY DONT CROWN MISS RHODE ISLAND! A COMPLETE PACKAGE GIRL! ITS A SHAME TO ALL THE NONSENSE JUDGES ESPECIALLY THE HIJAB GIRLS WHO CLAP AT HER STATE PAGEANT!! I CANT!

[ticomia]

Agree! I cant stand this new format and those ugly girls going far

[davidtbv]

To a typical person , a beauty queen is someone they just see who have good looks and nothing on her brain to aspire on.

Now IMG is redefining what typical person think of a beauty queen. Someone that have good looks but also have a substance, brain, can go to UN, Davos, Nobel ....

The end of a queen who just knows how to walk on stage with pretty face

[soledad]

The only thing that I liked was the new runway stage design and the top 10 but should have been top 15 20 or 25.

[Miss Bicolandia]

I could deal with the kind of winner they look for but can't they just bring the old format and the excitement? I was totally bored, though I had too finish watching because i was rooting for New Jersey, who, I believe, should have won. She would have been the saving grace. I felt like last year happened again--when Hawaii should have won.

[keyss]

All they had to do was crown smarter girls rather than aspiring models but keep everything else the same. It was not broken so why fix it?

[Jeffrey Nidal]

IMG is apparently looking for a beauty with a substance... while Trump is all for exterior beauty [size=150][/size]

[burglarcat]

IMG is a radical feminist. A girl should have no business in beauty pageants if she is not willing to put in the work to look fit and facially beautiful. Candidates should be first and foremost facially beautiful, fit, and confident. IMG is pushing through radical feminist agendas such as body acceptance but pageants should not be used as a platform for these kinds of agendas. Majority of the pageant airtime must focus on the actual competition and not spent on back stories or credentials. Pageant fans want actual COMPETITION of physique and elegance.

[pitbull]

I love the idea of girls being progressive and inner beauty, but the whole production of having two to three girls on stage at the same time is just too much!!!! The excitement of Miss USA and Miss Universe was all about the swimsuit and evening gowns. With each girl walking in an individual manner!

[firerprince]

"Is ruining" present tense....for me IMG is still in the process of ruining the pageant. I've said it before in this forum,if
they will not put back the excitement on the pageant the interest of people will deteriorate through out. And now MISS USA gathered one of the lowest ratings of it's telecast If this continues, 2 things might happen: first, they will go back to the way TRUMP is doing it or if it's hopeless then IMG will let go of the ownership and hallelujiah if that happens. At least TRUMP passed the ownership on good condition.

[ajsy0203]

If you were concerned about the groups of 2 or 3, I think other pageants did it before prior to the new format at MUO pageant system.
If you were concerned about the TV ratings, things already been changed since the rise of live streaming.

So most of the netizens think IMG should follow the old format just like Trump era or follow the path of Miss Supranational where intelligence and substance are less important than outer beauty?

[cindy_kato]

THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IS THEY DONT CROWN MISS RHODE ISLAND! A COMPLETE PACKAGE GIRL! ITS A SHAME TO ALL THE NONSENSE JUDGES ESPECIALLY THE HIJAB GIRLS WHO CLAP AT HER STATE PAGEANT!! I CANT!

Why will they crown a clapper in the first place??

She did not even made the initial cut.

[rockondude]

Thank you why would they try to fix something that wasn't broken. Miss Universe is slowly turning into Miss America.

I love Miss Universe because it was all about beauty, glamour and drama.

Miss universe is turning into a SJW mess, when ratings go to shit this year, They will go back to the old formula

[micoexpress5]

Getting political too>>>>>>>
I am glad that Miss USA spoke her mind >>>>>
Health care for me is a right and a privilege>>>>>
Everyone has the right to choose between private and public health care>>>>>
I work hard so I can have private health care services, choose a great physician , have a private room with no roommates, with good food and good smell when I get sick.
I don't like policticians and the red tapes taking care of my health care>>>>
I don't have any problem of people wanting puplic health care>>>>
Just don't complain if you have a doctor in training, if u have a roommate, if your room stinks, if your food turns your stomach around
If u want public health care I respect that!!!
If u want private health care I respect that too!!!
As they say u get what u pay for. Peace!!!

Since you want all these things, you might as well come up with your own beauty pageant...

IMG runs MIss USA and it is entitled to however it wants to hold the pageant... we are just spectators...

if you don't like it, then do not follow/watch it... IMG will never want you anyway...

[Mariana Erwin]

Production wise, it is dying.

The original criteria is what shaped the MUO pageants to where they are now. Sadly, while they are implementing the original criteria, they are ruining the production of the pageant. Although I love the fact that they are allowing girls of all shapes and sizes to compete, I don't like the fact that they are killing the glamour and grace it should have. IMG needs to reform itself. It would be better if they sell it to another company that can embrace this fresh and original way the winners of these pageants are selected.

[Mariana Erwin]

Me too. I would rather have Sushmita Sen over Leila Lopes...

Forumers from countries that produces plastic and surgically enhanced beauties, beauties which are 95% silicon and 5% brains are the ones barking the most.

becuase they know it wont be easy to find a woman in their countries that fit bill of WME-IMG

[ajsy0203]

WME/IMG is more focused on advocacy and substance over entertainment value?

Gone are the days when Trump prefers bitches that's why some countries perfected the craft of producing bitches - and they won.

Are we expecting Venezuela might clapped for the 2nd year in a row at 66th Miss Universe since 1973-1975 if Keysi will not step up her game?

[cindy_kato]

And why are you bitches blames IMG? The judges are not there for display.

THIS IS NOT MESS WORLD WHOSE FINAL DECISION LIES ON THE HAND OF THE OWNER WHO CAN'T EVEN HIRE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO VERIFY THE RESULTS. JUST A RANDOM LADY HOLDING A PEN AND A PAPER DOING THE FAKE TABULATION

[sugar&spice]

IMG's MESSAGE TO AMERICA AND THE UNIVERSE:

JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FACE ...

JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BANGING BODY ...

JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A MAGNIFICENT CATWALK SKILLS AND PASARELA ...

YOU WILL WIN IT ALL ........... NOT!

Neither of these two sentences is true.
