Definitely the new frontrunner of the batch for me :!!

Also I swear I don't know why these girls refuse to listen. Look at Nana Meriwether, Olivia Jordan, Alyssa Klinzing, Samantha Neyland, now Mary Malloy, STOP COMPETING IN CALIFORNIA IF YOU GREW UP IN A STATE THAT IS EASIER TO WIN IN!!! Do we need to send Acacia McBride a handwritten note explaining this to her??

She could win but she is doing herself a disservice by only competing in California. If Acacia stuck with Mississippi she would have already gotten to Miss USA by now.

I know she's going for California again and I hope she wins but if she doesn't, I really hope she goes back to Mississippi next year. She could win Mississippi with her eyes closed and she keeps getting robbed in California. At a certain point, it's far wiser to just go back home to compete, a California sash doesn't even carry as much weight as it used to.

I am shooketh since I expected Abby to walk away with this crown, but I'm happier with this result. She reminds me of Elyse Noe a little bit, Elyse really grew on me by the time prelims came around and I hope that Samantha does too, since I think she has a lot of potential

I have so much to catch up on, but yay Mary! Both her and Acacia deserved titles last year, so I'm glad Mary walked away this year with a crown.

I don't know why Acacia decided to do California again since it's so Q&A-heavy, so I hope that she invested in some coaching and was too stubborn to not see it put to good use, lol.

EDIT: LMAO bye cops

Do I even need to specify who I'm rooting for in Nevada? This should go without saying. I'm obviously all in for Josie, but I think Alexis could give her a serious run for her money. But it's just gotta be Josie

When did Nevada start having such small and weak batches? This really isn't the state it once was anymore. I think this is between Josie and Alexis. I'm giving the advantage to Josie since I'm positive Shanna personally reached out to her to ask her to state hop to Nevada, but we'll see, crazier things have happened. That would make how many years of Nevada not actually crowning girls who live in Nevada? Oy.

I liked Ariana a lot when she first competed and wanted her to return, but nope, married, not interested anymore

I'm only speaking to the American police because this is something that differs between countries, but the American police are violent, corrupt, bigoted cowards who get off on harassing, torturing, and sometimes even murdering the people they are supposed to protect. There is no honor here and so many Americans feel either disgust or pure fear towards them than anything else. I can't speak to Arizona, but the cops in NYC are particularly atrocious and I have had many awful interactions with them where you are doing nothing wrong or illegal at all but they illegally attempt to coerce you into giving them your ID, being interrogated or frisked by them, or even confessing to them something you haven't even done, and those are not even the worst you will hear from Americans of their experiences with police, people are extrajudicially murdered by the police here what seems like everyday. They are pigs, and nobody who sees this and wants to join them has my respect.

In America, being a cop is pretty highly associated with extremely conservative viewpoints, racism, abuse of power, and domestic abuse (police officers here are up to be 4x as likely to be involved in domestic disputes compared to the general population)

US police violence also tends to be at a much higher rate than any other developed nation, but the view of the police tends to be quite polarizing according to your political leanings. I personally don't care too much about pageant girls having my exact political beliefs (I expect at least half of them to be conservative), but choosing to join the police force in America is a pretty big red flag for me values-wise. I probably wouldn't care as much if she was a cop in another country, but American police force? Yeah, I'm going to pass on that, lmao. Hope she has a good reign and whatnot, but I can't in good faith root for her.

I was also just thinking the Nevada batch was smaller than usual, so I'm glad it's not just me. Alexis is very fresh and I like her profile, but I also don't think Josie would have come to Nevada without some encouragement from Shanna. Which is fine because I think she's deserving, but if I were one of the other contestants, I'd probably come into this knowing I'd have somewhat of an uphill battle.

I disagree about the statements regarding police in the US. I know MANY policemen and policewomen who are GOOD people and not at all representative of the statements made above. Bad people are everywhere including in law enforcement but it is seriously unfair to lump them together when it is the minority of police who fall into this category.

You're definitely free to disagree with what we've said! The topic of American police officers (and the institution itself) is polarizing, so I don't think we're going to convince each other to change our minds, but I appreciate the discussion for everyone to think about/make their own judgments.

I've had consistently negative interactions with the police, while at the same time I'm very aware of the privilege I hold as a white guy from an upper-middle class background and know that for many other Americans it's far worse. My opinions on American law enforcement are pretty strong, and I am not about to start supporting any cops, at Miss USA or otherwise.

Exactly this. I have so much privilege as a white woman from an upper class background. But I have had countless negative interactions with the police. Are there police officers who are nice people? Yeah sure, but the issue here is that all police officers support each other, it is a brotherhood, and if somebody saw all these issues with the American police and decided to remain in this brotherhood, they are not somebody I want to associate with. I have a family friend who was a police officer but quit because he did not agree with what he was witnessing, and I respect that.

I also disagree that it is a minority of police who are the “bad ones,” it is the majority, but I’m not here to argue over that.
