The lesson: if you don’t have a horror story, you’re probably someone else’s horror story

[NicoleFoti]

The first girl's roommate was totally sabotaging her hahahaha

[Lana-pbij]

You should do doctors sharing horror stories or fathers or students.
The point is that we need more of this because it is great

[blue_birdy]

I want to see the first girls picnic pictures so I can get a better idea of what prom dresses someone would wear to a picnic

[erintomatoes]

The green shirt girl could totally be a news anchor just with how she talks

[myosotismalva]

She was too kind, that roommate was a mean girl probably jealous 😕

[mahrukhfarooq]

The first girl is so me. I tend to overdress for casual occasions and usually underdress for big events. I have no shame though.

[Goldenbrii]

The reason she won is because she decided to persevere even after her entire outfit fell apart and i think that’s great tbh

[rissa_x]

if your director have you an approved outfit why would you change it? it’s a competition why would you even listen to you roommate?

[aminahisra]

Thay girl who put the stuff in the corner should have been disqualified on the spot

[domingamurray]

Current Miss Roanoke Valley here 👋!! I’m so proud to have the same title Ashna once did.

[blainejudd]

The first story reminds me of the scene in mean girls where Cady dresses up as a dead bride because Regina George told her to 😂 the roommate was sabotaging 100%

[lilatwyx]

For the first story I was already going "oh nooo girl and it just got worse xD

[bnjjj]

Your roommate totally set you up and was laughing at your naïvity. Never, *EVER* trust your 'friends' at a competition.

[Kuralai]

Wow, the second story is terrifying. Not sure how I would have handled it.

[steph]

That first horror story is actually my total nightmare, that’s literally the worst feeling

[lucia_kidtech]

The second story is terrifying and I have something similar happen multiple times in theatre.

[areneej]

Can you do theatre kids or people in musical theatre share horror stories

[sarahsvay]

Can you guys please do a driving instructor horror story lol, I’m curious

[pratyushapilla]

Ah I introduced Bollywood and Kuchipudi to Texas's Miss America state pageant! Love it!
