FROM the Miss Indiana Blog: A Delay for Hollywood


After anxiously awaiting a schedule from the Miss America Organization on what we would be doing when we go to Hollywood in October, we received a letter stating that the dates for the trip have been changed. Instead of traveling to California from October 12 - 22, we will now be filming the reality series from November 5 - 15. There was good reason though, because TLC wants to make sure they make the most out of this new partnership with the Miss America Organization, and though it will take a little re-arranging of schedules we’re grateful that TLC is so detail oriented and wants to do it correctly. Below is some of the information from the letter as to why the change was made.

It was said that this change was absolutely necessary because, “As you know, TLC was just signed several weeks ago and is quickly hiring and mobilizing their troops to produce both the Reality Show (5 hours of programming to be televised in the weeks before the live Pageant) and getting ready for Las Vegas. They simply have not had enough time to hire a Reality Producer and develop the creative format of the reality show. They indicated to us that they also have a lot at stake in this taping, and want it done CORRECTLY to properly showcase our contestants! They simply need more time. Transportation issues, hotel issues, and the basic logistics also factored into their decision to push this taping back to November.”

I still think this is going to be a fun way to get to know the other contestants before we get into the hectic weeks of rehearsals and competition. It will also give the public an opportunity to get to know the contestants on a more personal level, and hopefully create more interest in watching the pageant finals! So, no matter when we get to Hollywood, I think its going to be a lot of fun!

Thanks for stopping by and keep checking back for more updates!
