The article claims she was met in Thailand without any fan fare and there are not request or interest for Miss Universe appearance. They should of taken her to the Philippines to get the ball rolling and I'm being serious.

Luckily, we live in a digital world that brings global interactions to our fingertips (literally)! All I had to do was search Youtube and see the welcoming video of R'Bonney arriving in Thailand. There was quite a crowd. So, that already deflects one point that the author brought up as invalid. Additionally, she has met the PM of Thailand. That is pretty impressive. I imagine PM's are pretty busy individuals and they probably have more important things to do than meet beauty queens. It was also great to see Miss Thailand and the runners up alongside the winner enjoying Thailand. Other newspaper articles in Thailand have confirmed that R'Bonney is going to be busy doing shoots, private dinners and touring Asia. So, it appears that R'Bonney is getting booked with shoots. She literally just left Indonesia doing a commercial shoot.
Finally, since Ann has taken over the pageant it has been thrust back into mainstream culture. People are mocking the contestants on TikTok for their dramatic annoucnements of origin. Some might consider that insulting but it's becoming a popular trend and some influencers have reached over a million views on their videos. Either way people are talking about the Miss Universe. Furthermore, SNL recently did a skit on Miss Universe that was rather comical. SNL has not covered the Miss Universe since 2013 when it was under Trump. Ann has certainly got people talking about Miss Universe.
Don't forget she even got a President of a country to announce the next location of the pageant. Trump could not even get Putin to attend the pageant in 2013.
If anything Ann is reinventing a pageant that was already decaying. I am a fan of her and the direction that she is going in.
Just because a contestant did not place or win does not mean that the MUO jaded a particular country. The organization does not owe a country any special favors. Disgruntled pageant fans need to get over it and move on.

I looked at the video the crowd was not that big. Ann is tuning a tradition into a cheap product with the antics is the only thing she is doing. Bidding war for Franchise holders? Pay to vote for the best National Costume after the competition has ended. I mean it`s stupid.
