IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTPageantude: Pageants With Attitude!: News on Miss America: Reality Check
Sam Haskell, Art McMaster, Kirk Ryder and I just completed the kickoff meetings for this year’s Reality Show, and there is much to report! We met with the TLC executives assigned to our show, along with our new Reality Show producers, called Tijuana Entertainment.
First let me tell you about Tijuana. They are one of the leading producers of entertainment programming for domestic and international television networks, and they are based in El Segundo, California. John Foy and Troy Searer are the founding partners, best known for their executive producing credits on hit shows like “The Biggest Loser,” “Beauty and the Geek,” “For Love or Money,” “Breaking Bonaduce,” “Endurance” and “Going Hollywood.” Tijuana Entertainment is excited about this new project, and they look forward to showcasing our 52 contestants as they prepare for the national finals in Las Vegas.
TLC announced to us that they are budgeting for eight (8) episodes beginning September 10th in Los Angeles. Each episode will take three full days of filming, and after filming two episodes (6 days) the entire cast and crew will get a day off. Taping these eight episodes will necessitate carrying the filming into October. The arrival of the contestants is scheduled for September 10th, and their departure date will now be October 10th. We had previously informed you that all filming would be completed in September, but the recently-finalized shooting schedule for the eight episodes is longer than we originally anticipated. TLC also informed us that they are considering a ninth and final episode which will be taped in Las Vegas during rehearsals and preliminaries. This final episode will not require any extra work for the contestants outside of their usual pageant week activities.
