Rebuttal to Miss America's Reality Check

I received the following e-mail from Diane over at *Miss *Mrs. U. S. Beauties National Pageant and really thought you'd like the perspective:

As a pageant coach since 1987 I felt that there should have been qualified pageant coaches or experts in the field of pageantry consulting with the Miss America Contestants during the Miss America Realty Check. While the Miss America Reality Check consultants were qualified for the field that they excel in, the contestants did need experienced pageant coaches and those who have been in pageantry many years to help them polish their stage presentation & interview skills. The reality show should have been a positive show based on the hard work that it takes each contestant to achieve their goal to reach the final stage, which is competing at the Miss America Pageant. The viewers would have liked to get to know the Miss America contestants personally with positive group interviews. The reason why pageants is not respected in today’s society is due in fact to the punts and objects of jokes that numerous pageant systems and contestants have to endure. I feel a positive pageant documentary is in order and in fact have tried to convince several people in the television industry to listen, but they will not consider a positive documentary unless there is negativity involved, which the pageant industry doesn’t need at this point. In a world of negative publicity there is no way that we can escape this talk, but pageantry will never get back on its feet to a respectable level if we continue to make fun of the hard work and efforts of thousands of contestants and winners throughout the United States. I appauld all the Miss America Contestants who I felt were classy and intelligent. Congratulations Miss America Kirsten Haglund, you are beautiful inside and out and you will encourage many teens and women this year.
