I have to say, I was a little unsure whether or not Star Hellas would be legit this year, due to the last several years of the org just being so shady and tacky. But this year, I'm very optimistic for one simple reason: I Am One.
The fact that they're involved makes me more hopeful.
For one, the activity on their Facebook account has increased by quite a bit this year. They constantly post reminders about the pageant and registration, almost on a daily basis. In comparison, the last few years, we didn't hear anything from Star Hellas until the night of the casting call when a girl was crowned in the backroom of a clothing store or by a pool at a hotel.
Also, Star Hellas and I Am On recently posted a pic advertising the pageant and reminding women to register. Star Hellas, being as tone deaf as they are, posted the pic featuring Maria Psilou, a contestant that most Greeks hated and totally shunned her.
In comparison, I Am One posted the same ad with a picture of Iliana Papageorgiou.
This makes me think that I Am One gets it, they know what they're doing while Star Hellas is still run by dummies.
