The Pageant Tea You’ve Been Waiting For!!
The advice no one tells you about competing in pageants—I’m spilling the tea from behind the judge’s table. After judging Miss Michigan USA and Miss Ohio Volunteer, I saw the same mistakes and the same winning qualities show up in both systems.
I competed in five Miss USA state pageants across Ohio, California, and Illinois. I was a 5x semifinalist, 2x finalist, runner-up at Miss California USA, a best overall swimsuit/fitness winner, and a 5x Miss Congeniality. And yet… after judging two different pageant systems in two different states, honestly, I would have competed completely differently if I knew then what I know now.
In this episode, I spill the tea on:
If you’re serious about competing, this is the kind of perspective most people will never tell you. This isn’t the polished advice you hear from coaches—it’s the unfiltered judge’s POV. If you’re competing, this is what you need to hear before you walk on stage.
