I really hope they do not force the winner to work with the same charities year after year for BWAP. What is the point of that? If a girl like Ashlie Barrett wins, they should let her stick with her current charity work -- it is always more compelling and her enthusiasm for her own project will shine through. Also, one thing I did not like about Gina's BWAP was that it was very unfocused. Too many different projects. They are lucky that Gina's sincerity and warmth and came through in her video. Just pick one cause and do it well.
I dont understand the purpose of "working with Charities" which is different from when Terri took the finalists to do Labour Day Project. But why "FOCUS" on the same boring charities that couldnt even give Gina a top 10 BWP place? At Least Deanna's creative BWP rocked Miss World. What happen to giving the young misses the opportunity to think outside of the box with their own CREATIVE charity ideas?
Exactly! I actually like when they have the girls do these group projects as part of the activities of the pageant. The girls are giving back and we always get to have fun picking apart the photos of the girls who dress inappropriately. LOL. But a forced group project will never win BWAP. It was so obvious that Gina's BWAP was MJW''s charities and not her own the minute we saw the other contestants in the video.
AGREED..dunno, but am more excited this year about MUJ..than MJW. I noticed weve seen no pics from audition one (besides the judges), then suddenly (last night), they posted a short video of a stunning GINA, on Facebook, appealing to girls to enter. This is very telling. I suspect all and sundry showed up for the auditions. I think you have to be clever how you market yourself and image, to get the right girls to enter, facebook alone wont do it. I dont hear much talk about scouting and recruiting. All we hear about is reality shows, military boot camps...and the same MJW charities. Id rather a simple contest, focus on the basics to find the right girl, then take it from there. I remember Deanas creative BWP clip so well, beautiful and sincere, when I first saw it, I knew instantly it was a winner!!
