26:12 there is one pageant organization that is thriving and well-esteemed for how they treat not only their titleholders, but even participants. Very respectful and inclusive. The Miss South Africa organization, lead by Steph Weil. I feel compelled to give them a shoutout because as you said, it’s very rare to have such values in pageant organizations 😅 Such a shame Miss USA cares more about profit than potential legacy.

These people no nothing about pageants or it's history. These resignations are a mess. It'd be nice if they had people who know this stuff talking.

I don´t understand beauty pagents at all. And of course, no one else heard the gross old guy propositioning the young lady in the car...that´s how this harrassment works. This is unsurprising and also very sad. It´s demeaning to be treated like a piece of meat.

The fact that your “expert” doesn’t even know that only one Miss Teen USA ever received the Miss USA title, and it was under an ascension occurrence, proves that you are totally clueless about this topic, and neither of you should be talking.

awful research! so many errors in this

Miss USA let men compete. Obviously there is some clear disrespect for women.
