Personally I don't believe pageants are a thing that should happen currently, too much going on around the world and specially in the US right now.
Can I ask what you opinion is on pageantry this year? BTW, I saw Ivanna's interview and I must say I was really proud of her and Miss International ORG for the work they do.

I'm getting tired of waiting. They are not a transparent organization at all, and it's quite annoying. It's really exhausting being kept in the dark over every decision they ever make. Either they don't want to inform the public, which is shady, or they're terrible at making decisions and are incapable of making a plan and sticking with it, which is unprofessional. So many other pageants that are held in the fall have already been postponed, but Miss USA, which should have already happened sticking with its normal schedule has not had any news at all. Just not okay at all in my opinion.

I'm not so sure about this. It'd be great if that could happen, but I'm not sure. I think it's too early to say that hosting a major pageant is or isn't possible in the first trimester of 2021, but the question is if it'll be safe to host all the qualifying national pageants in the interim. We'll see.

I am still strong in my belief that the 2020 editions are too dangerous but it seems that some pageants really cant afford not to have a pageant

We all expected it to be pushed back, but I wonder if first trimester of 2021 is wishful thinking too? If there's a second wave like people expect there to be, we'll have to see if that gets settled by April 2021. I also especially wonder what they're going to be doing with Miss USA then. It looks extremely unlikely they can hold the pageant in 2020, so when would it happen? Just a month before Miss Universe in the first trimester of 2021 too? Even then, that's still risky, the US is the worst country in the world for COVID-19 (I'm assuming Miss Universe would have to be somewhere abroad that hasn't been hit as hard) and if I'm already doubting Miss Universe could go ahead by April, I doubt Miss USA could happen safely before then. I guess they'd have to just appoint Allie and move this class a year back, we'll see.
I'm just a bit pessimistic that pageantry will be able to safely return before we get a vaccine. I was seeing that a vaccine shouldn't be expected until September 2021, but I think I saw recently that they were ramping up progress so hopefully we can get it sooner than that.

I'd wish they'd actually tell us what's going on instead of rumors spreading, but this is the MUO so I'm not surprised. I honestly doubt they can do Miss USA this fall unless it's an online pageant. I see this as either fan rumors with no validity or just wishful thinking from the MUO.

Of course, she's a black woman herself and she has shown support on social media for the BLM movement, so I might be overthinking it, but there's a lot of animosity towards law enforcement in this country right now, even resulting in the cancellation of long-running tv shows like COPS. She's a probation officer, and I'm worried that IMG might not be too keen on "crowning a cop" right now. On the other hand, having a BIPOC in Law Enforcement as a public figure could help bridge a divide.
That said, I really do like Chanel, she's been high on my maybes list for some time, so I hope her chances aren't completely DOA at this point, but I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on this.

Btw, what you guys think of Ohio? I heard shes puertorrican or half puertorrican

I love Ohio. She's a stunner and she seems like she has a really great personality too. I think she'll place, not sure how far she'll get though. I think she's full Puerto Rican, may have been born in Puerto Rico too.
