Surprise surprise


Definitely an unsurprising choice, but I don't think necessarily a bad one. Yes, Kit & Sierra were my sentimentals, but Hannah is an obvious choice as a returning runner-up and Teen winner. I think she's a lot stronger than her two predecessors, and unlike Idaho 2021 & 2022, I don't expect Hannah to be near the very bottom of my list, but I don't think she's that exciting either. I love that she went to Wharton, and I do think she has a great face, but she's not jumping off the page as an immediate frontrunner, and I don't expect that will happen. I'll still enjoy following her reign!

Well, I don't think any of us are surprised by this result, lol. She's not bad though! I think she has a pretty good face and a decent resume. I don't think she's a knockout or a sure placer, but she'll represent Idaho well.

Here's a discussion question totally blind since we have only had one delegate crowned yet but ...

What states do you think are most itching for a Miss USA crown (provided that these states don't win Miss USA 2022) going into the 2023 season?

I have four in mind.

Georgia is my number one pick. For one of the most populous states in the South, it's frankly shocking that they've had such little success in the USA system, with no Miss USAs (and only one 1st runner up), and no Miss Teen USAs either. It's quickly growing, has a lot of good jobs and good schools in the state, and their girls are usually gorgeous and well prepared. It is the most populous state in the country to have never worn the Miss USA crown (although Florida has never won it outright, they have inherited a title) and they're probably itching for one bad.

Florida is close behind, but a tier lower since they just won Miss Teen USA. Their director is pretty new, yet she's proven the ability to coach someone to victory in her very first year, so all eyes are going to be on her and she has potential to become one of the most highly-regarded directors in the country in a few years' time. I think a USA crown could be on the horizon for the Sunshine State, and I think they've really got their eye on that Miss USA crown, especially after Ashley came so close last year.

Next two are in the same category, Virginia and Illinois. They became the first two states to ever achieve back-to-back victories in the history of Miss USA, but they've yet to win since. They're both fairly populous states, with great schools and job opportunities, and Illinois has the golden benefit of directorship under Vanbros. I'm surprised that it's been nearly half a century since they've won, and it's about time they win again. And like, c'mon, the states who gave us Wendy Dascomb and Amanda Jones deserve to be winning more often


Granted, I could see Georgia, Virginia, or Illinois winning 2022, probably not Florida at this point but stranger things have happened. But provided they don't, I'm going to be keeping an especially close eye on these states since they absolutely have strong Miss USA potential, and I know that those directorships must want it bad

LOL I wouldn't have even noticed it changed if you didn't post this. Honestly this looks nicer imo lol.

But what I really want are for these goddamn crowns to change. I'm so tired of the plastic Party City crowns they've used forever. Lol.

Re: ROAD TO MISS USA 2023 // IDAHO CROWNED

Postby Queen of the Clouds » Mon Sep 12, 2022 4:25 pm

As for my thoughts on Idaho, I think we've all already said it. This is one of the least surprising crownings in a long time. She's a two time 1RU and a former Teen titleholder, she was clearly going to win. Hannah will not be a bad titleholder by any means but she is not interesting either, and I don't see her as a semifinalist. But given Idaho's track record, she's probably an improvement.

Sad for Sierra who seems to just never be able to seal the deal, happy for Kit though who avenged her shock clapping. I'm not sure what was holding her back last time if she managed to be 2RU this year?

I think Florida, Georgia, and Hawaii are all gunning for a crown. Maybe throw Texas, California, and Nevada in there too, although they have won much more recently, but I feel like those three states want to fight for the crown every year. Illinois too for the reasons you mentioned, really any Vanbros state could win at any point all the time.

She looks beautiful in these photos but in many other photos, I don't like her, she looks very harsh, I have a problem with her nose and with the shape of her face. Lol Also her lips are huge, they are obviously fake and as you know I have a problem with queens who have cosmetic surgery. Queen of the Clouds told me that almost every queen who competes at Miss USA has had cosmetic surgery so I'm not surprised but I wish at least those surgeries weren't visible and in Hannah's case, it is. Sorry but I think this is not the year Idaho is going to place, a new clapping for Idaho in my opinion, she is no different from past Miss Idaho's.

I'm a little sad that none of the 3 women I liked won but anyway the batch was mediocre. lol

Definitely Florida - they always send very well-prepared women and even when they clap, I'm sometimes a bit surprised. Georgia is a close second, but they randomly go back and forth between sending an absolute stunner and then a very obvious clapper, lol. (Jazz Wilkins is still one of my favorite Miss Georgia representatives of all time)

Besides the aforementioned Virginia, Illinois, Texas, California, and Nevada - I think New Jersey also has had a very competitive track record and should get a crown very soon. I always have a soft spot for Nevada/New Jersey girls for some reason too, lol.

How could I have forgotten New Jersey? Definitely add them to the list!! But in my opinion I feel like they lost their footing after Gina Mellish... she was great but I haven't been impressed these past two years.

True lol, I'm a massive fan of NJ 2022, but I agree that they're up there in states that are really deserving of a title. Gina Mellish and Chhavi Verg were both so so good, and I think if NJ crowns more winners like them, they could be seeing victory in the near future

Maureen Francisco just revealed on Instagram that Amanda Kelly, who competed in Idaho, was the first contestant to compete under the new rules?

Based off of Amanda's ig, there's no baby or pregnant pictures at all, and she doesn't appear to be wearing a wedding ring although there's lots of photos of her with her partner so I guess they're married but she doesn't wear a ring?

IDAHO NEEDS TO SCHEDULE THEIR STATE PAGEANT RIGHT AFTER THE OUTGOING QUEEN HAS COMPETED.

MISS OREGON USA 2023 CONTESTANTS ARE UP

https://missoregonusa.com/2023-miss-oregon-contestants/

I'm sure everyone is in Miss USA mode right now, but of course Pageants NW of all directors decides to give us something at the most inopportune time. I think the batch looks better than usual (but still not great) and I am very happy to see our favorite girl Allison Bowles did not return even though married women will now be allowed to compete (now we'll have years before we get to get rid of her for good...).

Two of the 2022 runners-up have opted to return: Brooklyn Lowery (2RU 2022; 2RU 2021; semifinalist 2020) and Rachel Sheldon (3RU 2022; clapper 2021). Last year was a very small batch where there were no semifinalists, so I wonder how much being a returning runner-up from last year will help in a bigger batch like this year's. Other notable names include Aly Nordlie (Miss Washington Teen USA 2017), Amulya Chava (one-time Oregon Teen runner-up), Kuinn Karaffa (many-time Washington semifinalist), and Manju Bangalore (Semifinalist 2018; one-time Oregon Teen runner-up). Some other girls who stuck out to me are Angelica Britton, Keeli Littleleaf-Kotchik, Kelly Smith, Morgan Williams, and Skylar Pierce-Smith.

My favorite girl in Oregon is definitely Kelly Smith. She looks like the best complete package and seems like a very sweet girl. That's when it gets tougher... there aren't really any other girls I like and I also couldn't find IGs for some (including Kelly). Aly Nordlie is not bad but I am boycotting the married women/mothers so it's a no for me. I think Brooklyn may win but she would be a very weak winner, but being a two-time 2RU is still a feat. We'll see, Kelly is the only one who may be able to shake up my ranking at Miss USA, but I still haven't even seen much from her.

For Hawaii Ashlyn Pierceall and Breea Yamat are back and probably the only decent choices.

Haven't seen any of the other girls, but I love Ashlyn and Savannah. Both gorgeous. Breea would be another good choice, and sister-crowning-sister would be cute. So three good options for Hawaii I'd say. I also don't think 5'7 is too short, but I think it's around the shortest a girl can be to remain competitive at Miss Universe.

I think Savannah is my favorite of the ones I've seen so far. She reminds me of Kataluna

Another possible contender for Hawaii, Callista Hansen.

I would be shocked if Elaina isn’t Miss Hawaii teen 2023.

Elaina reminds me of the type who would win Hawaii Teen USA, clap at Miss Teen USA for styling too mature, then go to Miss in a few years and be a future Miss USA

I love Callista too!

Elaina Head reminds me of Angela Byrd miss Hawaii 2011 mixed with Demi Tebow. I hope we see her compete at Miss in the future. She’s 5’11 tall.

Here are my thoughts about the upcoming Miss Oregon USA 2023 pageant:

Good batch. :=p I love Kelly Smith and Morgan Williams!

I also like Aly Nordlie, Angelica Britton, “Cande” (Maria) Camarena, Emma Orr, Rachel Bower, Sierra Rothacker and Skylar Pierce-Smith.

Brooklyn Lowery should not win this, she's very unattractive but she has the experience so I'm always worried...
TOP 5 for Miss Universe 2024 :

1. France 2. Mongolia 3. Kazakhstan
4. Venezuela 5. Kyrgyzstan

What states do you think are most itching for a Miss USA crown (provided that these states don't win Miss USA 2022) going into the 2023 season?

I have four in mind.

Georgia is my number one pick. For one of the most populous states in the South, it's frankly shocking that they've had such little success in the USA system, with no Miss USAs (and only one 1st runner up), and no Miss Teen USAs either. It's quickly growing, has a lot of good jobs and good schools in the state, and their girls are usually gorgeous and well prepared. It is the most populous state in the country to have never worn the Miss USA crown (although Florida has never won it outright, they have inherited a title) and they're probably itching for one bad.

Florida is close behind, but a tier lower since they just won Miss Teen USA. Their director is pretty new, yet she's proven the ability to coach someone to victory in her very first year, so all eyes are going to be on her and she has potential to become one of the most highly-regarded directors in the country in a few years' time. I think a USA crown could be on the horizon for the Sunshine State, and I think they've really got their eye on that Miss USA crown, especially after Ashley came so close last year.

Next two are in the same category, Virginia and Illinois. They became the first two states to ever achieve back-to-back victories in the history of Miss USA, but they've yet to win since. They're both fairly populous states, with great schools and job opportunities, and Illinois has the golden benefit of directorship under Vanbros. I'm surprised that it's been nearly half a century since they've won, and it's about time they win again. And like, c'mon, the states who gave us Wendy Dascomb and Amanda Jones deserve to be winning more often


Granted, I could see Georgia, Virginia, or Illinois winning 2022, probably not Florida at this point but stranger things have happened. But provided they don't, I'm going to be keeping an especially close eye on these states since they absolutely have strong Miss USA potential, and I know that those directorships must want it bad


Ugh thanks for those great words on Florida.

We are so close to winning and I feel it’s coming.

I also feel a woman of color will get us da crown.

Da closest we have ever came to wining were an Afro Cuban (Cleo) and an Afro Puerto Rican (Ashley)

I'm a little biased because I went to college in Florida so it's one of my favorite states to keep track of lol. I'd love them to get to more success

So Queen of the Clouds and I were talking, and she has decided to step back from Miss USA until such a time where Crystle is gone, and frankly, I do not blame her for doing so. I will likely not be watching any paid pageants this year until if and when Crystle is gone, I cannot in good conscience be lining this organization's pockets. However, I will make an effort to post contestant lists and results as we get them.

I'm hopeful that Crystle will be gone though, I really don't know how much heart I can put into a system that is under Crystle's leadership. Even when my favorites win, they'll be doomed to work with a vile national director

That said Oregon is this afternoon, and I'll post the results when we get them
