Miss USA tried to charge the contestants for the shoes that Jojo Bragais sponsored. Lol. And they said $200 is the 'discounted' price per pair? $300 for the nude ones. Jojo Bragais never charge if he sponsors pageants, even for smaller city and provincial pageants here in the Philippines. Also, the amount they tried to charge the girls for a pair? Bragais pageant shoes retails between $ 75 - $100 a pair. They tried to charge the girls double the retail amount for shoes that they got for free.
The Miss USA pageant under the direction of the beautiful, intelligent and charming Dani Walker, would have the glamour that it had many years ago. Blessings Dani
This is heartbreaking. To the 2024 contestants, you have the opportunity to do the most unifying thing Miss USA has ever seen…find a good lawyer. Make sure the girls that come after you aren’t subjected to such negligence. Protect the dreams of the Misses that follow.
The audacity of Savannah to make a statement like that, the wording was so hurtful towards the former titleholders and having to see not only the 2 of them that stepped down, it was a whole bunch of people that resign or was fired, that means that the leadership is doing something wrong and she is just covering up what the CEO is doing… I hate that, the leadership under Anne of MUO organization is giving the idea to National Directors that organizations have to be about them mostly and not the girls that are looking for an opportunity to shine in this platform. Laylah, YOU ARE DISGUSTING
I wonder if she's gone back and watched the interview and seen and heard what she said and thought about how others might receive and interpret her words. -- She was definitely used as a pawn and she put herself in that situation. As Dani stated, had she had real friends to talk to about this interview, she might have made some different decisions. I'm sure some day in the not to distant future she'll look back at this and be embarrassed and have regret.
I am speechless about what Savannah said. I did not want to pay any attention to this Miss USA controversies, but I am SO disappointed. Miss USA is far to be what it used to be, the Miss Universe REALLY need to come into this ASAP
The Miss USA organization made her the woman that she is today?! Girl, you were Miss USA for two months. And to all it an "organization" is a joke. When Paula ran it, it was an organization. After Crystle took over, it became a joke. She has what 2 or 3 employees working for her now?! They just now over a week after the pageant updated the website. And Alma Cooper has done one interview as Miss USA. And the only reason that she got that interview was because Lu Parker, Miss USA 1994, was a judge and works for the station that interviewed her. In addition, the CW probably wont keep term long due to viewership. Miss Teen USA had 470,000 viewers and Miss USA had 570,000 viewers.
Savannah not considering the number of people who actually resigned due to the same complaints and sat there saying all of the complaints were falls is a new level of stupid for me. Im sorry.
@@kenlau457 You should probably be directing your question to @giuseppeditrolio. I was just replying to their question as to who the person was that was taking the selfies.
I’m not trying to be funny but is Savannah Delusional??? Boldly denouncing Noilia and Uma when it seems pretty clear Layla didn’t do anything to aid in her reign is comical. Last I checked Miss USA wasn’t suppose to be 100% financially responsible for her reign. That’s apart of the prize?!? But I Guess Money isn’t a thing when your Boyfriend Pays for everything
Also a Zoom interview is wild she should be in the set of GMA. I’m confused how Miss America can book Kelly Clarkson and Miss USA isn’t at least getting an in studio interview with a national news program? We used to have Kelly and Ryan, GMA so many great interviews. They deserve more than a zoom interview unless it was an overseas outlet.
I ran for miss teen virginia and had the chance the talk to Miss USA (savanah) and she encouraged me to buy the shoe sponsorship that was sitting in the lobby for the hotel and I told her I couldn’t afford them they were $200 and she looked at me so surprised and said “what??, I had no idea they were $200?? I feel bad for the sponsorship lady that weekend. I didn’t see one person at that table they were so overpriced!
Mess USA! Love the shade, girlfriend! I think the worst part of removing any past Misses from the website except for their crowning is that it emphasizes the misguided notion in the public's mind that pageants are about pretty girls in evening gowns competing for a crown. In fact, these women (at all levels) spend the overwhelming majority of their time in community service and public appearances that are geared toward fundraising.
@@AnimalLover2400 I believe (please correct me if I am incorrect on this issue) one of the major more or less public issues Noelia faced during her reign was the fact that the Miss USA organization did not book the usual (or any, really) events for her, and for various reasons (liability, the fact that when you are Miss _____, you are not yourself, the individual, but a representative of the organization), she could not pick up the phone and book events for herself -- the organization had to do it for her. If you look through this channel, there is a video called "Where is Miss USA" (or something along those lines), evidencing the fact that the Miss USA organization failed to book Noelia for much of anything. Again, the LR era of Miss USA keeps sending the message that Miss USA is nothing more than a pageant where they crown a pretty girl in an evening gown. The main reason I have loved and supported the pageant world is because of its focus on community service.
Hi Dani! Long time lurker here. I love your channel! I attended finals night for Miss USA 2024 with a friend who had previously been interested in competing. It was a childhood dream of mine and a bucket list item. Prior to this, I had only been to state pageants. Without a doubt, the state pageants I attended in years past were more organized, professional, and an overall better experience. I went back and forth on whether or not to buy tickets, because of all of the allegations against the current leadership and how they have handled criticism and concerns with such a lack of professionalism. Ultimately we decided to go, because we were already in DTLA that weekend for work. Also, as you've mentioned in several of your videos, the girls have worked extremely hard to reach that stage and deserve support. It's not the contestants fault that the current leadership is a red hot mess. So, we went. Not surprisingly, it was overall an absolute nightmare and an embarrassment. It was so bad that I have even considered making a video about our experience. I had several points to mention , some of which you covered in this video, but there are also a few things that those who saw the live telecast wouldn't have seen or noticed. Unfortunately, I am not sure anyone would watch it or care, because so many pageant fans have given up on Miss USA, at least until there is new leadership. I also have zero experience making videos for UA-cam or any other platform. Do you think there would be any interest in something like this? Again, I love your channel. I first came here for pageant content, but have taken away so much more from your videos. So much of the pageant advice you give can be applied to public speaking and interview skills for anyone. It has helped me tremendously in my professional life. So, for that- thank you so much! Big hug!
My question is…where’s the promo for Alma?!? She won Miss USA and so far has made no public appearances, interviews, etc. It’s sad to see the direction this org is heading in.
Right everyone loves a media package. I’ve seen the competition from the Phillipines and Mexico and Ecuador and its fierce this year. Miss USA is going to have an uphill battle because it was very clear these ladies were rushed in their preparation.
Good evening Dani : thank you for your insightful & great video! I’m shocked & saddened by how the once iconic Miss USA pageant has gone ! I’m a South African & been a fan of beauty pageants since 1975 ! I know you are a huge fan of the Miss SA organisation & all the show’s & winner’s! This year’s new Miss SA 2024 was once again groundbreaking & crazy brilliant! I know you are super busy, but I strongly request that you take time to watch & comment about ! Mia Le Roux , Miss South Africa 2024 is already making waves re up coming Miss Universe & already an icon in South Africa as a historic winner & a bright beacon representing our country!
I hope they won't close your channel because you're investigating. I'm so sad that Miss USA turned that way but at the same time, watching this kind of episode is so captivating. I learn so much. Thanks from France.
Dani, I wish you can take over from Laylah. I love your energy and passion for the paegant world. Keep on doing what you excell in and that is world class commentry on paegants. Love from South Africa.
I actually was there for the SU x Miss USA fashion show as one of the models because I was competing and I was introduced to Layla personally and she didn’t even say hi, just looked at me and walked away. Really rude
There was some "mean girl energy" coming from those interview videos...... Barely a 3 month reign and she knows all about Noelia and UmaSofia's experiences. Ohhhkay.
Oh my, you had to know I would be chiming in on this one! First, I'm so glad to see that Savannah was able to take time from her hectic schedule for that photo shoot in Maui. I've been working on a charity drive for a monument for Lahaina. I guess rather than contact Savannah who is probably in Bali, I'll talk with Brook Lee (Miss USA '97) for some help (she's a Facebook friend). I'm really surprised that this year's contestants weren't supplied with shoes. What was the purpose of JoJo being a sponsor if he wasn't going to at least provide some shoes? You mark my words, Laylah Rose will lose him as a sponsor too. Even though Laylah Rose owns Miss USA, the franchise is still under the umbrella of the Miss Universe Organization. I wonder if Anne knows about what is going on here in the States, or if she even cares for that matter. I really hope that Alma doesn't have as rough a year as Noelia and UmaSofia did. I'll drag out my Rolodex and see if I can make a few calls to keep her in the spotlight on occasion.
@@heatherfrayer4568 If Anne and Laylah Rose bought into the whole pageant thing to make money they were in for a rude awakening. I can't imagine any pageant system being a profitable operation.
Two things. 1. Miss USA has been a reactive organization under LR’s “leadership,” when it needs to be proactive. 2. The telecast could have easily memorialized the first Miss USA during that awkward LR speech and 10-15 seconds where she and the other woman lived their Price is Right fantasies by gesturing at the new crown and scepter.
Is this Miss USA or Survivor? This is truly atrocious to see from a once prestige pageant. I really want to say kind words about this system since I broke into pageantry with them but "free for all " wardrobes and inadequate meals is NOT how things should be ran at national level pageant. Secondly, the way that the judges got more screen time than most girls who worked their asses off to be there is appalling. Third, they haven't a clue on what to do with their winners. ten days in and they're just posting Alma's interview from August 4th and recycling her crowning pics over and over. Last, I just fume at the mention that it took three girls to fall before Laylah before the pit got closed, truly disastrous!
@DaniWalker IS NOBODY GOING TO ADDRESS THE OBVIOUS? There were TWO former Miss USA’s among the judges, Carole Gist 1990…AND Lu Parker, the last Miss USA crowned from South Carolina in 1994, and Lu was not even mentioned with the former Miss USA’s!!!! I am thinking that she could possibly be filling in for another judge that cancelled on Layla Rose at the last minute and she was a quick choice since she has lived in Los Angeles since 2005 where she is the anchor at KTLA news AND SHE IS A QUALIFIED JUDGE!!!!! There is no explanation for why Lu Parker was left out of honoring the past Miss USA’s bc she was literally sitting in a judges chair in front of the stage!!!! What is wrong with this scenario???????
Considering this pageant was barely a week that's pretty scary a girl could lose 8 pounds. I was expecting this BTS to be bad but this blew my mind at the experience these girls had.
Hi Dani. Hope one day you can get directly involved in the Miss USA pageant. I remember when I was a young kid in the 80's how glamorous it was ..Love from the Philippines ❤❤❤
It’s really sad, beauty pageants are so beautiful both to watch and also as a contestant the transformation you endure is incredible. It’s sad to see something so loved be corrupted.
The fact that you are so candour about everything you say definitely shows your class and makes you a true beauty queen. I literally want to see you as a queen maker. Touchwood ❤️✨
NOT Savannah saying her 10 week reign has made her the person who she is LOL. HALF A DAY IN MAUI to raise awareness she really didnt need the Miss USA crown for this. Also, for someone who barely had a reign and impact she did take her final walk gown SO SERIOUSLY.
It's so disappointing seeing what's happening to Miss USA. I used to want to compete for them (the first pageant I ever competed in was a state pageant for Miss USA) and now it feels like there is no point. I'm hoping things will get better though.
When I arrived for teen usa, some pageant people I've worked with in the past for steaming and alterations saw me and I ended up sewing through the night purely by chance on teens wardrobe for the next morning. There was no seamstress on site. Poor girls.
If Dani can’t take over Miss USA, I think Maureen and David from PNW pageants should. Maureen cofounded the global beauty awards and they have ran such an amazing Washington , Idaho, Oregon, and I think Montana still pageant.
Dani, I remember when Miss America 2.0 happened, many former Miss America titleholders came together trying to stop that leadership. I am wondering if Miss USA formers will ever do that?
Honestly I usually don’t care much for USA usually since I’m more Mexican than American and I always end up rooting for the motherland at MU anyway BUT!!! This is so disheartening and sad and will make this narrative that pageants are horrible for women even more palpable in our country. We all need to begin sending private messages to MU, especially Osmel Souza since he is the President Advisor. If we all continue to comment “please investigate the USA Org” consistently and constantly, they are bound to have to investigate. But who would even take over? 😭😭
I am by no means a pageant girlie, so my base knowledge on most of this is pretty useless. I am, however, a healthcare provider whose primary patient base is young women. And I'm also a very passionate, very loud social justice activist. And that stuff about the meals? That made me vociferously angry. You mentioned the impacts that not getting meals could have on even perfectly healthy contestants who are just busy and need their fuel, as well as on those with blood sugar issues like diabetes - all true. But you know where my mind went immediately? Eating disorders. About 20 million American women have an active eating disorder or are in recovery from one. And they concentrate significantly in image-conscious populations - like, I dunno, pageant contestants. I'd bet my next paycheck that there were at LEAST a couple women in this competition who have struggled or are currently struggling with eating disorders and all the physical and psychological hell they bring with them. You're 1000000000% right that a failure to provide adequate, timely food to these women endangered their health and safety. I am wondering how many of them were set back in their recoveries from disordered eating by this organization's negligence.
Suuuuuch a good point. Honestly, pageant production is one thing. But, I’m most saddened by the lack of care for their safety and health. That’s what was the most crazy thing to me about all of this. IT’S NOT OKAY. And no one seems to care. Sure something terrible didn’t happen this time. Emphasis on this time. The ladies shouldn’t face any of this negligence, IMO.
Unless Laylah Rose resigns or decides to appoint a new president for the Miss USA organization, I doubt the pageant will survive if there aren't changes or someone doesn't do anything, and it's going to be a snowball that's going to get bigger and bigger until it gets out of control.
I feel so bad for Alma, I have a feeling she knew was getting herself into and hopefully prepared herself for the worst. Being Miss USA isn’t just about going to Miss Universe. Alma is smart and has such a strong resume that she’ll excel at MU but will she have nothing else to make her reign substantial and fulfilling? Miss USA org is on the same level of the Miss Kyrgyzstan org at this point in time. Maya from Kyrgyzstan hasn’t had any financial support from her organization and has payed for everything out of pocket, and she has made some insane photoshoots and productions all on her own will and ability, she edits all the photos and videos herself, she pays and schedules the location, the makeup artists, the photographer, the rentals, etc. Maya has been able to accomplish so much on her own because her org won’t do any of it for her but she was crowned in 2023 so she’s had time. Two organizations with not enough funds to support their title holders the difference: one is small central Asian country that’s not super well off versus literally the country with the highest GDP in the world.
And if Alma fails to enter the semifinalists in Miss Universe 2024 which will be held on November 16 at the CDMX Arena in Mexico City, it's going to get worst for the Miss USA organization.
If Laylah tries to exploit the current Miss USA like what she did with Noelia and Uma. Well, that will turn into a WWII. So Laylah, don't mess up with someone with a military background, because if you dare to put a gun on someone in order to take control of them. Well, that gun will point back to you and will cause damages that you will regret for life. It's more painful than a actual gunshot. So never ever try to exploit anyone. But at the same time, I think Laylah would use the current Miss USA's background to look good on the public, and to get more sponsors and help, but still with a hidden agenda.
😳😱 W…T…F! Wowwww! Dani, thanks so much for this info. I’m telling you, I’ve been a fan of pageants for YEARS. So much so, I became a successful pageant competitor from the age of 17 until I competed and also winning my last pageant at age 25. I go back to when Bob Barker was the regular host of Miss USA. And though I know the current Miss USA pageant debacle isn’t the only pageant scandal over the years, THIS is SHOCKING! These are very accomplished women, some of whom prepare themselves for years to compete in THE, if not one of, the OG’s of pageantry. These candidates…do NOT…deserve the shabby treatment they’ve been receiving. The Miss Universe pageant started in the United States. And despite the downturn of interests in pageantry in the US, we should be setting the tone. Every year during pageant season, we see all the queens from many other so-called pageant power counties with their queens glammed up to within an inch of their lives in photo shoots, wearing glamorous gowns, being seen preparing for the beautiful spectacle that culminates up to the Miss Universe pageants. We see countries with lesser resources putting on better quality competition shows. Many of their candidates come well sourced for competition. I remember when the Miss USA pageant…for years…was of Miss Universe quality. The very name of Miss USA carried clout and it had the prestige to back that up. Now, it actually seems that Layla Rose is a plant meant to take down the Miss USA organization. Granted, that sounds admittedly dramatic but it’s one thing to not be able to deliver to candidates and titleholders financially…but why the rudeness and stress we’re finding these titleholders are allegedly being subjected to?! Kindness is free. And, what in hell sense does it make to shut down Alma’s social media account weeks before Miss Universe? It is those accounts that many pageant influencers use when they make their prediction videos. Alma is showing up less and less on those. Alma NEEDS this promotion and that could also benefit the Miss USA organization…ESPECIALLY if they’re strapped for money. By the way, where is the money going? Maybe someone should check Layla Rose’s lifestyle. Now, I’m not by any means ignorant to the costs of pageant directors to get funding, sponsorships, etc., to help fund these productions. When I watched your video, Dani, my heart just went out to Alma and my wish list would be for past Miss USA sister queens to ban together to help prepare Alma for Miss Universe by providing her any resources she might need, such as wardrobe, friends/associates who could provide her photography services, money, etc., Alma deserves to be well prepared to compete at Miss Universe…and Layla Rose…by stark contrast…needs to step down. Thanks, Dani for this very informative video. Please keep us posted. You are clearly one of the best pageant influencers on social media. Thank you. Your viewership should be MUCH larger. #TeamAlmaUSA
I feel bad for the girls. A lot of hard work gets put into these ladies getting to this point and with that chaotic mess, I wished more for them. And that interview hardly fosters a sense of sisterhood, and is more gossip and low or no budget PR trying to reassure everyone things are okay, when by their actions you can tell that is not the whole picture. Dani needs to run it plan and simple.
Regarding viewership of the telecast, I couldnt access it. My streaming service doesnt carry CW. I heard this from many others. We went to youtube and had to shuttle around various streams that would block you after 10min or so. So thats why viewership was down in my opinion. But the show was HORRIBLE! Truly tragic!
The ultimate confirmation that this current Miss USA management is a colossal mess is when they hired Jordan Kimball. That was the most random-ass move ever. If you're gonna have to go as low as hiring someone from Bachelor Nation, then at least have it be anyone who has had even minimal pageant experience. The bar is not even on the floor - it's buried underground.
As someone who has multiple decades in this industry as a pageant event and portrait photographer I can say that some of these larger pageants think they are entitled to a portion of the proceeds from photography and video sales or they want to outright control it. Unfortunately, that math just doesn't add up for me when as an experienced provider I am already basically working for an entire week at a deficit with upfront production costs for myself and my crew or at best for free. Most of our work is "on spec" and the total sales of images can vary greatly. Based on other aspects of this pageant, it's reasonable to assume that Miss USA was probably so cash poor that they didn't even want to comp the photographers travel expenses or hotel accommodations to get to the event. Miss USA probably hoped they would be able to get free images off media photographers like Getty contributors Alberto Rodriguez and Gilbert Flores that attended as coverage photographers. My hope is that all those photographers direct them to Getty Images and charge the organization the $175-$500 per image rate they should be paying.
Those last minute judges aren’t from the pageant world. If last minute judges were going to be added then choose people with exposure to pageants. Scheana Shay is a low budget reality tv actress/waitress. And Gavin De Graw is a singer.
Why should they be? Judges in the past traditionally had been a mix of celebrities and business people, none of them are from the pageant world so you would get a more fair outcome.
@@kenlau457 Only legit performers really understand that preparation. A reality star waitress having affairs with married men as a Hooters waitress, isn’t worthy of judging women who are actually accomplished and did something with their lives. There were other judges from other backgrounds such as public speaking, comedy, and the business world, etc. Scheana Shay doesn’t have a legit career. Gavin has a performing background so he’s legit.
The lettuce part is crazy. Like yeah. This whole thing is deeper than just lettuce, but for dinner! LETTUCE! By itself! They ran out of protein! They didn’t move mountains to even feed these people. This is worse than Siera’s story about her experience participating at Miss Supranational. INSANE! These girls were, I’m sure, dehydrated to death, became malnourished for what is supposed to be an experience of a lifetime and such a great accomplishment, barely sleeping, going back and forth doing irrelevant things, these girls are exhausted, in debt, families in debt, and I’m sure they somewhat regret all of it in a way. They probably got treated better by their state organizations than by what is supposed ti be the “big dog”. HOW EMBARRASSING!!!!! Let’s give it to Dani and how she gets poured all the tea on earth 😂😂😂🫶
I see a Dani video....I click...simple as that. Excited for the Miss South Africa pageant review. Finally, so sad to see the nose dive pageantry especially the MU franchise is taking in an era where it could and should be experiencing an uptick, sad because I see pageantry as launching pad and a tool for economic empowerment while simultaneously making a positive impact on society and have always dreamed of entering but now idk if it's worth my time, you invest so much and the pay back...I dont know

Carol Gist, Miss USA 1990 was the person taking the selfies.
@@dhutch457 so she was basically making sure the rep from Michigan would win the title, so why pay attention to the other contestants?
@@kenlau457 You should probably be directing your question to @giuseppeditrolio. I was just replying to their question as to who the person was that was taking the selfies.
dani drops a video - my day has plans now ❤
HAHAHAHAHA 💕
I don’t trust Savannah’s comments.
I’m not trying to be funny but is Savannah Delusional??? Boldly denouncing Noilia and Uma when it seems pretty clear Layla didn’t do anything to aid in her reign is comical.
Last I checked Miss USA wasn’t suppose to be 100% financially responsible for her reign. That’s apart of the prize?!? But I Guess Money isn’t a thing when your Boyfriend Pays for everything
Been waiting for this video!! Listening on my way home from work 🤭
@@hollysealover enjoy ☺️
Also a Zoom interview is wild she should be in the set of GMA. I’m confused how Miss America can book Kelly Clarkson and Miss USA isn’t at least getting an in studio interview with a national news program? We used to have Kelly and Ryan, GMA so many great interviews. They deserve more than a zoom interview unless it was an overseas outlet.
They deserve so much more for all their effort!
im living for this 🍵 !!! love that you always got the receipts and behind the scenes 🍿
Glad to hear Louisiana fed you well Dani! Miss USA should be mortified at the treatment of their titleholders!!
Too well 😂 I was so stuffed I got to a point where I wasn’t hungry anymore
@@DaniWalker regardless, a girl needs to eat
I ran for miss teen virginia and had the chance the talk to Miss USA (savanah) and she encouraged me to buy the shoe sponsorship that was sitting in the lobby for the hotel and I told her I couldn’t afford them they were $200 and she looked at me so surprised and said “what??, I had no idea they were $200?? I feel bad for the sponsorship lady that weekend. I didn’t see one person at that table they were so overpriced!
Savannah going down in history not as Miss USA, but as a leftover queen. Please remind her SHE DID NOT WIN Miss USA.
It’s been almost 2 weeks and 5 of the 6 posts on the instagram are basically the same pictures from finals night … I feel bad for Alma..
I run to youtube when i see the notifications for these videos
@@ellanicoledade 🥹thank you
Mess USA! Love the shade, girlfriend! I think the worst part of removing any past Misses from the website except for their crowning is that it emphasizes the misguided notion in the public's mind that pageants are about pretty girls in evening gowns competing for a crown. In fact, these women (at all levels) spend the overwhelming majority of their time in community service and public appearances that are geared toward fundraising.
What community service did Noelia do besides that one time going to a school or something ?
@@AnimalLover2400 I believe (please correct me if I am incorrect on this issue) one of the major more or less public issues Noelia faced during her reign was the fact that the Miss USA organization did not book the usual (or any, really) events for her, and for various reasons (liability, the fact that when you are Miss _____, you are not yourself, the individual, but a representative of the organization), she could not pick up the phone and book events for herself -- the organization had to do it for her. If you look through this channel, there is a video called "Where is Miss USA" (or something along those lines), evidencing the fact that the Miss USA organization failed to book Noelia for much of anything. Again, the LR era of Miss USA keeps sending the message that Miss USA is nothing more than a pageant where they crown a pretty girl in an evening gown. The main reason I have loved and supported the pageant world is because of its focus on community service.
Hi Dani! Long time lurker here. I love your channel! I attended finals night for Miss USA 2024 with a friend who had previously been interested in competing. It was a childhood dream of mine and a bucket list item. Prior to this, I had only been to state pageants. Without a doubt, the state pageants I attended in years past were more organized, professional, and an overall better experience.
I went back and forth on whether or not to buy tickets, because of all of the allegations against the current leadership and how they have handled criticism and concerns with such a lack of professionalism. Ultimately we decided to go, because we were already in DTLA that weekend for work. Also, as you've mentioned in several of your videos, the girls have worked extremely hard to reach that stage and deserve support. It's not the contestants fault that the current leadership is a red hot mess. So, we went. Not surprisingly, it was overall an absolute nightmare and an embarrassment.
It was so bad that I have even considered making a video about our experience. I had several points to mention , some of which you covered in this video, but there are also a few things that those who saw the live telecast wouldn't have seen or noticed. Unfortunately, I am not sure anyone would watch it or care, because so many pageant fans have given up on Miss USA, at least until there is new leadership. I also have zero experience making videos for UA-cam or any other platform. Do you think there would be any interest in something like this?
Again, I love your channel. I first came here for pageant content, but have taken away so much more from your videos. So much of the pageant advice you give can be applied to public speaking and interview skills for anyone. It has helped me tremendously in my professional life. So, for that- thank you so much! Big hug!
I’m sat, please make a video
@@mckenziedeitz901 Okay, I think I’m going to make a vid over the weekend! Stand by 😉
Make the video!!❤️❤️
Dani could you do a video about the directorship and how many directors have given up thier States since Layla took over?
My question is…where’s the promo for Alma?!? She won Miss USA and so far has made no public appearances, interviews, etc. It’s sad to see the direction this org is heading in.
I’d love to see what she’s up to and where she is, especially since she didn’t get a media week.
Right everyone loves a media package. I’ve seen the competition from the Phillipines and Mexico and Ecuador and its fierce this year. Miss USA is going to have an uphill battle because it was very clear these ladies were rushed in their preparation.
Good evening Dani : thank you for your insightful & great video! I’m shocked & saddened by how the once iconic Miss USA pageant has gone ! I’m a South African & been a fan of beauty pageants since 1975 ! I know you are a huge fan of the Miss SA organisation & all the show’s & winner’s! This year’s new Miss SA 2024 was once again groundbreaking & crazy brilliant! I know you are super busy, but I strongly request that you take time to watch & comment about ! Mia Le Roux , Miss South Africa 2024 is already making waves re up coming Miss Universe & already an icon in South Africa as a historic winner & a bright beacon representing our country!
I hope they won't close your channel because you're investigating. I'm so sad that Miss USA turned that way but at the same time, watching this kind of episode is so captivating. I learn so much. Thanks from France.
You always say what I’m thinking this year was a shame and not a magical event anymore :(
You’re not the only one. Many of us are thinking it 🙊
I love your honesty and concern. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences Dani. ❤
You are so welcome! 💕
I love your spicy coverage of Mess USA organization. Keep it real.
Thank you, contestants and potential sponsors need to know what’s happening before spending thousands.
@@DaniWalker Savannah's mom is wild. Savannah is a PAWN, perfect description lol crying.
I love your videos so much Dani !! Love from France 🤍
Glad you like them!
@@DaniWalker You have another big fan in France :)
Dani, I wish you can take over from Laylah. I love your energy and passion for the paegant world. Keep on doing what you excell in and that is world class commentry on paegants. Love from South Africa.
@@georgeoosthuizen9631 🫶🏻thank you! I hope to visit South Africa one day and see your national pageant ☺️
@@DaniWalker Would be nice to see you on the judging panel or even Crown Chasers. Looking forward to your next vlog 😊
I actually was there for the SU x Miss USA fashion show as one of the models because I was competing and I was introduced to Layla personally and she didn’t even say hi, just looked at me and walked away. Really rude
🫶🏻 you weren’t alone in your experience
There was some "mean girl energy" coming from those interview videos......
Barely a 3 month reign and she knows all about Noelia and UmaSofia's experiences. Ohhhkay.
Oh my, you had to know I would be chiming in on this one! First, I'm so glad to see that Savannah was able to take time from her hectic schedule for that photo shoot in Maui. I've been working on a charity drive for a monument for Lahaina. I guess rather than contact Savannah who is probably in Bali, I'll talk with Brook Lee (Miss USA '97) for some help (she's a Facebook friend). I'm really surprised that this year's contestants weren't supplied with shoes. What was the purpose of JoJo being a sponsor if he wasn't going to at least provide some shoes? You mark my words, Laylah Rose will lose him as a sponsor too. Even though Laylah Rose owns Miss USA, the franchise is still under the umbrella of the Miss Universe Organization. I wonder if Anne knows about what is going on here in the States, or if she even cares for that matter. I really hope that Alma doesn't have as rough a year as Noelia and UmaSofia did. I'll drag out my Rolodex and see if I can make a few calls to keep her in the spotlight on occasion.
From what I am understanding, Anne is having her own problems. The pageant is hemorrhaging money.
@@heatherfrayer4568 If Anne and Laylah Rose bought into the whole pageant thing to make money they were in for a rude awakening. I can't imagine any pageant system being a profitable operation.
Two things. 1. Miss USA has been a reactive organization under LR’s “leadership,” when it needs to be proactive.
2. The telecast could have easily memorialized the first Miss USA during that awkward LR speech and 10-15 seconds where she and the other woman lived their Price is Right fantasies by gesturing at the new crown and scepter.
Great points 👏👏👏
Is this Miss USA or Survivor? This is truly atrocious to see from a once prestige pageant. I really want to say kind words about this system since I broke into pageantry with them but "free for all " wardrobes and inadequate meals is NOT how things should be ran at national level pageant. Secondly, the way that the judges got more screen time than most girls who worked their asses off to be there is appalling. Third, they haven't a clue on what to do with their winners. ten days in and they're just posting Alma's interview from August 4th and recycling her crowning pics over and over. Last, I just fume at the mention that it took three girls to fall before Laylah before the pit got closed, truly disastrous!
@DaniWalker IS NOBODY GOING TO ADDRESS THE OBVIOUS? There were TWO former Miss USA’s among the judges, Carole Gist 1990…AND Lu Parker, the last Miss USA crowned from South Carolina in 1994, and Lu was not even mentioned with the former Miss USA’s!!!! I am thinking that she could possibly be filling in for another judge that cancelled on Layla Rose at the last minute and she was a quick choice since she has lived in Los Angeles since 2005 where she is the anchor at KTLA news AND SHE IS A QUALIFIED JUDGE!!!!! There is no explanation for why Lu Parker was left out of honoring the past Miss USA’s bc she was literally sitting in a judges chair in front of the stage!!!! What is wrong with this scenario???????
Considering this pageant was barely a week that's pretty scary a girl could lose 8 pounds. I was expecting this BTS to be bad but this blew my mind at the experience these girls had.
It's very sad :(
Hi Dani. Hope one day you can get directly involved in the Miss USA pageant. I remember when I was a young kid in the 80's how glamorous it was ..Love from the Philippines ❤❤❤
It’s really sad, beauty pageants are so beautiful both to watch and also as a contestant the transformation you endure is incredible. It’s sad to see something so loved be corrupted.
The fact that you are so candour about everything you say definitely shows your class and makes you a true beauty queen. I literally want to see you as a queen maker. Touchwood ❤️✨
As always keep pounding #Dani because it needs to be told for those that can't.
NOT Savannah saying her 10 week reign has made her the person who she is LOL. HALF A DAY IN MAUI to raise awareness she really didnt need the Miss USA crown for this. Also, for someone who barely had a reign and impact she did take her final walk gown SO SERIOUSLY.
It's so disappointing seeing what's happening to Miss USA. I used to want to compete for them (the first pageant I ever competed in was a state pageant for Miss USA) and now it feels like there is no point. I'm hoping things will get better though.
@@BeccaAnneonYT very disappointing. I’d wait for changes before spending the money.
25:34 NEGLIGENCE IS THE WORD. This is irresponsible and insensitive of the organization! How could they? Shame on them.
This screams "Lawsuit" everywhere, they should be collective lawsuits from contestants.
Hats off to you Dani you hit the nail in the head!
When I arrived for teen usa, some pageant people I've worked with in the past for steaming and alterations saw me and I ended up sewing through the night purely by chance on teens wardrobe for the next morning. There was no seamstress on site. Poor girls.
Been waiting for Miss South Africa reaction
Me too!
If Dani can’t take over Miss USA, I think Maureen and David from PNW pageants should. Maureen cofounded the global beauty awards and they have ran such an amazing Washington , Idaho, Oregon, and I think Montana still pageant.
They put on well organized events. I think they'd do an excellent job!
Eh those two never have competitive girls. Says a lot about their record, since they’ve done it for years.
Dani, I remember when Miss America 2.0 happened, many former Miss America titleholders came together trying to stop that leadership. I am wondering if Miss USA formers will ever do that?
Honestly I usually don’t care much for USA usually since I’m more Mexican than American and I always end up rooting for the motherland at MU anyway BUT!!! This is so disheartening and sad and will make this narrative that pageants are horrible for women even more palpable in our country. We all need to begin sending private messages to MU, especially Osmel Souza since he is the President Advisor. If we all continue to comment “please investigate the USA Org” consistently and constantly, they are bound to have to investigate. But who would even take over? 😭😭
I am by no means a pageant girlie, so my base knowledge on most of this is pretty useless.
I am, however, a healthcare provider whose primary patient base is young women. And I'm also a very passionate, very loud social justice activist. And that stuff about the meals? That made me vociferously angry.
You mentioned the impacts that not getting meals could have on even perfectly healthy contestants who are just busy and need their fuel, as well as on those with blood sugar issues like diabetes - all true. But you know where my mind went immediately? Eating disorders.
About 20 million American women have an active eating disorder or are in recovery from one. And they concentrate significantly in image-conscious populations - like, I dunno, pageant contestants. I'd bet my next paycheck that there were at LEAST a couple women in this competition who have struggled or are currently struggling with eating disorders and all the physical and psychological hell they bring with them.
You're 1000000000% right that a failure to provide adequate, timely food to these women endangered their health and safety. I am wondering how many of them were set back in their recoveries from disordered eating by this organization's negligence.
Suuuuuch a good point. Honestly, pageant production is one thing. But, I’m most saddened by the lack of care for their safety and health. That’s what was the most crazy thing to me about all of this. IT’S NOT OKAY. And no one seems to care. Sure something terrible didn’t happen this time. Emphasis on this time. The ladies shouldn’t face any of this negligence, IMO.
This breaks my heart. Miss USA used to be the “It” title. How disappointing, but thank you for the video, Dani! 🩷
Unless Laylah Rose resigns or decides to appoint a new president for the Miss USA organization, I doubt the pageant will survive if there aren't changes or someone doesn't do anything, and it's going to be a snowball that's going to get bigger and bigger until it gets out of control.
I feel so bad for Alma, I have a feeling she knew was getting herself into and hopefully prepared herself for the worst. Being Miss USA isn’t just about going to Miss Universe. Alma is smart and has such a strong resume that she’ll excel at MU but will she have nothing else to make her reign substantial and fulfilling? Miss USA org is on the same level of the Miss Kyrgyzstan org at this point in time. Maya from Kyrgyzstan hasn’t had any financial support from her organization and has payed for everything out of pocket, and she has made some insane photoshoots and productions all on her own will and ability, she edits all the photos and videos herself, she pays and schedules the location, the makeup artists, the photographer, the rentals, etc. Maya has been able to accomplish so much on her own because her org won’t do any of it for her but she was crowned in 2023 so she’s had time. Two organizations with not enough funds to support their title holders the difference: one is small central Asian country that’s not super well off versus literally the country with the highest GDP in the world.
Alma will place thanks to sash factor while Maya may be lucky to walk away with a side award.
And if Alma fails to enter the semifinalists in Miss Universe 2024 which will be held on November 16 at the CDMX Arena in Mexico City, it's going to get worst for the Miss USA organization.
I was surprised that there was no fittings for the swimwear since they provide them.
@@crystalevans2123 right? They need fittings 🙈
If Laylah tries to exploit the current Miss USA like what she did with Noelia and Uma.
Well, that will turn into a WWII.
So Laylah, don't mess up with someone with a military background, because if you dare to put a gun on someone in order to take control of them. Well, that gun will point back to you and will cause damages that you will regret for life. It's more painful than a actual gunshot.
So never ever try to exploit anyone.
But at the same time, I think Laylah would use the current Miss USA's background to look good on the public, and to get more sponsors and help, but still with a hidden agenda.
Layla ignoring Dani is a red flag that she's a mean person.
I am so sad for the girls! It sounds like they did not receive the true Miss USA experience.
They really didn’t 😭
All the money they make off of contestants at the state level and they can’t even feed the girls at nationals?! That’s a HUGE problem.
And no official photos?! BS!
Certainly the girls need to be fed. You don't want them to get weak while on stage.
anyone closely associated with Layloh is QUESTIONNABLE. Additionally & unfortunately, Savannah is... fake.
The fact that the Contestants only had 5 days-ish makes the weight loss even more crazy. The lack of safety is crazy to me.
FLOORED..there has to be something that can be donee. This is crazy….and JKN has not said a wordddd.
“Mess Usa 😲😮💨🤧 **drinks** Miss Usa 💅🏼”
Laylah looks like one of those villains from a Disney movie.
Also , yes it’s so messy watching the live at home and seeing judges focused on their socials instead of the girls. So unprofessional
😳😱 W…T…F! Wowwww! Dani, thanks so much for this info. I’m telling you, I’ve been a fan of pageants for YEARS. So much so, I became a successful pageant competitor from the age of 17 until I competed and also winning my last pageant at age 25. I go back to when Bob Barker was the regular host of Miss USA. And though I know the current Miss USA pageant debacle isn’t the only pageant scandal over the years, THIS is SHOCKING! These are very accomplished women, some of whom prepare themselves for years to compete in THE, if not one of, the OG’s of pageantry. These candidates…do NOT…deserve the shabby treatment they’ve been receiving.
The Miss Universe pageant started in the United States. And despite the downturn of interests in pageantry in the US, we should be setting the tone. Every year during pageant season, we see all the queens from many other so-called pageant power counties with their queens glammed up to within an inch of their lives in photo shoots, wearing glamorous gowns, being seen preparing for the beautiful spectacle that culminates up to the Miss Universe pageants. We see countries with lesser resources putting on better quality competition shows. Many of their candidates come well sourced for competition.
I remember when the Miss USA pageant…for years…was of Miss Universe quality. The very name of Miss USA carried clout and it had the prestige to back that up. Now, it actually seems that Layla Rose is a plant meant to take down the Miss USA organization. Granted, that sounds admittedly dramatic but it’s one thing to not be able to deliver to candidates and titleholders financially…but why the rudeness and stress we’re finding these titleholders are allegedly being subjected to?! Kindness is free.
And, what in hell sense does it make to shut down Alma’s social media account weeks before Miss Universe? It is those accounts that many pageant influencers use when they make their prediction videos. Alma is showing up less and less on those. Alma NEEDS this promotion and that could also benefit the Miss USA organization…ESPECIALLY if they’re strapped for money. By the way, where is the money going? Maybe someone should check Layla Rose’s lifestyle.
Now, I’m not by any means ignorant to the costs of pageant directors to get funding, sponsorships, etc., to help fund these productions. When I watched your video, Dani, my heart just went out to Alma and my wish list would be for past Miss USA sister queens to ban together to help prepare Alma for Miss Universe by providing her any resources she might need, such as wardrobe, friends/associates who could provide her photography services, money, etc., Alma deserves to be well prepared to compete at Miss Universe…and Layla Rose…by stark contrast…needs to step down.
Thanks, Dani for this very informative video. Please keep us posted. You are clearly one of the best pageant influencers on social media. Thank you. Your viewership should be MUCH larger. #TeamAlmaUSA
I feel bad for the girls. A lot of hard work gets put into these ladies getting to this point and with that chaotic mess, I wished more for them. And that interview hardly fosters a sense of sisterhood, and is more gossip and low or no budget PR trying to reassure everyone things are okay, when by their actions you can tell that is not the whole picture. Dani needs to run it plan and simple.
I hope Savanah is enjoying her private villa in Bali... clearly doing LOTS of work for Hawaii
I’m here for the exposé
Regarding viewership of the telecast, I couldnt access it. My streaming service doesnt carry CW. I heard this from many others. We went to youtube and had to shuttle around various streams that would block you after 10min or so. So thats why viewership was down in my opinion. But the show was HORRIBLE! Truly tragic!
There are full streams on UA-cam now
@@Jwall_131E great point 😭 I did the same thing to watch it
@@josephd15 I dont need to see them now. I needed to see it Live!!
Somebody Must File a Lawsuit against this Organization
The ultimate confirmation that this current Miss USA management is a colossal mess is when they hired Jordan Kimball. That was the most random-ass move ever. If you're gonna have to go as low as hiring someone from Bachelor Nation, then at least have it be anyone who has had even minimal pageant experience. The bar is not even on the floor - it's buried underground.
"It's buried" HAHAHAHA
As someone who has multiple decades in this industry as a pageant event and portrait photographer I can say that some of these larger pageants think they are entitled to a portion of the proceeds from photography and video sales or they want to outright control it. Unfortunately, that math just doesn't add up for me when as an experienced provider I am already basically working for an entire week at a deficit with upfront production costs for myself and my crew or at best for free. Most of our work is "on spec" and the total sales of images can vary greatly. Based on other aspects of this pageant, it's reasonable to assume that Miss USA was probably so cash poor that they didn't even want to comp the photographers travel expenses or hotel accommodations to get to the event. Miss USA probably hoped they would be able to get free images off media photographers like Getty contributors Alberto Rodriguez and Gilbert Flores that attended as coverage photographers. My hope is that all those photographers direct them to Getty Images and charge the organization the $175-$500 per image rate they should be paying.
Loving the hair and make up, Dani! Very Doutzen Kroes. And thanks for the Miss USA updates ☕
Those last minute judges aren’t from the pageant world. If last minute judges were going to be added then choose people with exposure to pageants. Scheana Shay is a low budget reality tv actress/waitress. And Gavin De Graw is a singer.
Why should they be? Judges in the past traditionally had been a mix of celebrities and business people, none of them are from the pageant world so you would get a more fair outcome.
@@kenlau457 Only legit performers really understand that preparation. A reality star waitress having affairs with married men as a Hooters waitress, isn’t worthy of judging women who are actually accomplished and did something with their lives. There were other judges from other backgrounds such as public speaking, comedy, and the business world, etc. Scheana Shay doesn’t have a legit career. Gavin has a performing background so he’s legit.
The lettuce part is crazy. Like yeah. This whole thing is deeper than just lettuce, but for dinner! LETTUCE! By itself! They ran out of protein! They didn’t move mountains to even feed these people. This is worse than Siera’s story about her experience participating at Miss Supranational.
INSANE! These girls were, I’m sure, dehydrated to death, became malnourished for what is supposed to be an experience of a lifetime and such a great accomplishment, barely sleeping, going back and forth doing irrelevant things, these girls are exhausted, in debt, families in debt, and I’m sure they somewhat regret all of it in a way. They probably got treated better by their state organizations than by what is supposed ti be the “big dog”.
HOW EMBARRASSING!!!!!
Let’s give it to Dani and how she gets poured all the tea on earth 😂😂😂🫶
I see a Dani video....I click...simple as that. Excited for the Miss South Africa pageant review. Finally, so sad to see the nose dive pageantry especially the MU franchise is taking in an era where it could and should be experiencing an uptick, sad because I see pageantry as launching pad and a tool for economic empowerment while simultaneously making a positive impact on society and have always dreamed of entering but now idk if it's worth my time, you invest so much and the pay back...I dont know
@@chanw5797 so thankful you come to watch 💕
Miss universe has lots all credibility with the inclusion of men, old women , married and mothers. It's terrible
