Completely agree. Pageants are supposed to be about leadership, intelligence, and women supporting women.
When pageants focus on manufactured drama instead of social impact, advocacy, and genuine empowerment, the entire industry loses credibility. Fans want authenticity, not recycled reality TV tropes.
