STATEMENT OF PAULA SHUGART REGARDING PRILIMINARY ALLEGATIONS

Postby spectacular » Thu Sep 03, 2009 6:06 am

    

September 2, 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT FROM PAULA M. SHUGART, PRESIDENT OF THE MISS UNIVERSE ORGANIZATION, REGARDING INACCURATE ALLEGATIONS REGARDING THE PRELIMINARY JUDGING PROCESS FOR THE MISS UNIVERSE COMPETITION


September 2, 2009

STATEMENT FROM PAULA M. SHUGART, PRESIDENT OF THE MISS UNIVERSE ORGANIZATION, REGARDING INACCURATE ALLEGATIONS REGARDING THE PRELIMINARY JUDGING PROCESS FOR THE MISS UNIVERSE COMPETITION

“In response to an inaccurate and incomplete account of The Miss Universe Organization judging process, I would like to clarify the following:

As disclosed at the top of each broadcast, members of the Miss Universe Organization play a role in the selection of the Top 15 semi-finalists. In the 2009 Miss Universe competition, a preliminary panel of judges selected nine of the Top 15 and members of the Miss Universe Organization, including owner Donald J. Trump, selected the remaining six.

A separate panel of judges, introduced live at the Finals telecast, is solely responsible for the selection of the Top 10, Top 5 and the ultimate winner of the pageant.

This system has been in place since 2005 and has always been fully disclosed to the contestants, their directors, the judges and the viewing audience. The procedure is overseen by the accounting firm of Ernst & Young and NBC Program Standards and Compliance. To in any way call into question the integrity of the judging process or suggest the pageant is somehow orchestrated or “rigged” is utterly false and misleading.

“When I bought Miss Universe 12 years ago it was a sick puppy, now the Miss Universe contest is seen in over 180 countries around the world and the ratings are through the roof and that’s because of the beautiful women,” said pageant owner Donald J. Trump. “I’m not changing a thing!”

This year’s Miss Universe Telecast scored NBC’s top non-sports results in its time period in both 18-49 and total viewers since the May 10 finale of “Celebrity Apprentice.” “Miss Universe” ranked #1 among the broadcast networks in its time period in total viewers.

For its concluding hour from 10-11 p.m., “Miss Universe 2009” ranked #1 among the broadcast networks in all key ratings categories and beat the combined ABC-CBS ratings in adults, men and women 18-34 and 18-49.

The Spanish language simulcast continued its streak as a ratings powerhouse on NBC-owned Telemundo, generating some of their highest ratings of the year.”

what they should do is to release the preliminary scores, how can we be so sure that those who made in the top 9 were actually called during the announcement of the 15, if they claim that the selection of the top 15 is fair then the burden of proof lies on them. People need a concrete evidence from the organization and it is their duty to show that evidence.

They got the highest rating this year, but how about next year? Now that a statement from them finally came out, its about time to prove to everyone that the selection process is fair and square.

come on Miss Universe Org. show us the results.

Hello Colleagues,

Miss Universe system is gone, not like those old years back until 1996.

Miss Universe is all about businesses, politics and influences. It is no longer what we think that the contest is all about beauty and brains but all about fashions, businesses, catwalks and so on.

It's a change that we need to accept. World has CHANGED.

That's my opinion.

I hope the preliminary judges will reveal the truth, that's the only way people would know what really happened during the selection of the top 15, sure they do get a copy of the original score sheets, because if people would rely on the score sheets coming from the miss universe org, one thing is for sure, it is already altered.

I agree with you. There should be transparency here. But displaying preliminary scores would just create a snafu especially to those who are supposed to be included in the semifinals roster, but had to be eliminated simply because Donald Trump does not like them.

although it can be a bitter truth , we should accept it . this bullshit contest will get the worst places in the list of Big 5 awards .. i personally think that it deserves more to leave most love on other contests as miss world or miss earth ..
miss earth is clearly fair and miss world is certainly seen of the finalists from people 's choices ..

the muo gets to choose 6 based on what? trump's personal preference? why don't they just choose the rest of the 15 semi-finalists?
the problem with this system is that different standards apply to the two sets of semi-finalists. one based on swimsuit, gown, and interview; the other based on trump's idea of beauty. when you manipulate (2/5 of ) the result, based on a standard different from the one everyone considers fair, that is by definition, rigging.

but the more nagging question is: how did they chose the winner? trump not having a say on the final result would be hard to believe having accepted the fact that he had a say in choosing the semi-finalists in the first place.

As disclosed at the top of each broadcast, members of the Miss Universe Organization play a role in the selection of the Top 15 semi-finalists. In the 2009 Miss Universe competition, a preliminary panel of judges selected nine of the Top 15 and members of the Miss Universe Organization, including owner Donald J. Trump, selected the remaining six.


If the selection is not orchestrated... is it divine intervention?.....lol..... =b

Wow, this has no intention of dying down does it? Well, I guess that can be expected when such injustice was commited. I am glad ppl are speaking their minds and the MUO is being made to listen. Ironically, I found in funny that Paula coincidentally didn't mention that the viewership has decreased over 1.5 million since 2007, and only all time high ratings continue in beauty-obsessed Venezuela and that is why they were handed the crown. I hope they are happy with their "fixed" pageant, but I think this time they hadn't anticipatd this sort of backlash, Stefania is thee most bashed winner (thanks for the info Rajat!) I hope they are happy with their "accomplishment" but I think this time they bit off more than they ever intended to chew~! PPL aren't stupid, did they really think they were going to spoon feed us these results like a bunch of mis-informed idiots, and we would just sit there and smile???? WRONG!

Their acts are becoming more unacceptable. I think the first thing that they need to do is to clarify things - that preliminary judging semifinalist should only 9 no more no less. They should not be misleading viewers that the top 15 are chosen from the preliminaries haha. The viewers need details for they are not fool as they are. Though Miss World and Miss Earth is in the next months more, I now rank Miss U on the third slot. Just pisses me!!! They don't need to release the preliminary scores - one thing is sure - ALTERATION SCAM.

WHY ARE ALL OF YOU ASSUMING THAT IT WAS STEFANIA ONE OF THE 6 CHOSEN BY TRUMP? WHY ARE YOU ALL SAYING THAT SHE IS UGLY? IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF IT HAD BEEN PTO RICO THE WINNER, WHO BY THE WAY WAS IN THE OVERALL RATING WAS FIFTH AND VENEZUELA FOURTH NO ONE WOULD BE MAKING SUCH A FUSS. SHE ONE BECAUSE THE MAYORITY OF THE JUDGES LIKED HER WHEN THEY SAW THE CLOSEUPS. MIS DOMR BEAUTIFUL BUT DID NOT LOOK YOUNG OR FRESH, SHE WAS OVERCOMED BY NERVOUS DURING THE Q&A, AS AUSTRALIA. PTO RICO WAS NOT A WOW BEAUTY, SHE WAS JUST CUTE. THERE SEEEMS TO BE A LOT OF BIAS AND ENVY TOWARDS VENEZUELAN CANDIDATES. THERE ARE STILL PTO RICANS, MEXICANS AND COLOMBIANS WHO HAVEN'T GOTTEN OVER MISS UNIVERSE 2008. THEY NOT ONLY BASHED DAYANA BUT TRIED TO HAVE HER DETHRONED. LOOK AT ALL THE COMMENTS MADE AGAINST VENEZUELAN CANDIDATES REGARDING PLASTIC SURGERY. WHETHER YOU PEOPLE BELIEVE IT OR NOT RE-KNOWN PLASTIC SURGEONS IN VENEZUELA WOULDN'T INCREASE BREAST OR DO NOSE JOBS ON UNDER AGE GIRLS. OTHER COUNTRY'S CANDIDATE NOT ONLY GET BREAST AUGMENTATION, LIPOSUCTION, LIKE MEXICO, NOSE JOBS, ETC. NO ONE MAKES COMMENTS ABOUT THEIR CANDIDATES BEING PLASTIC, NOT NATURAL, THAT ALL OF THEM ARE BUILT, ETC. WHY ATTACK THE VENEZUELAN GIRLS????? ENVY???

STEFANIA WILL BE 19 TOMORROW, SHE IS AN URBAN GIRL, SHE HAD NEVER BEEN IN A BIG CITY UNTIL SHE COMPETED IN THE MISS VENEZUELA PAGEANT. SHE IS LIVING HER DREAM, SHE DIDN'T STEAL ANYTHING FROM ANYONE. SHE WORKED HARD, ANSWERED THE QUESTION AS SHE UNDERSTOOD IT, OVERALL DID HER VERY BEST AND THE JUDGES SAW THIS DURING THE FINALS. STOP THIS RIDICULOUS CONTROVERSY STARTED BY SOME SORE LOSERS, DESPICABLE FANATICS AND SOME COUNTRY MEDIAS. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST MET STEFANIA IN NYC ARE SMITTEN AND ENCHANTED BY HER LOOKS, HAPPINESS AND GOOD DISPOSITION. SO SHE DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH NOT EVERYONE IS BILINGUAL, BUT A LEAST SHE IS WILLING TO LEARN AND SPEAK WHAT LITTLE SHE KNOWS. SHE WILL NOT BE ANOTHER DAYANA BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE DAYANA, BUT SHE WILL MAKE HER OWN MARK AND WILL BE LOVED BY BEING WHO SHE IS. GIVE THE GIRL A CHANCE AND STOP THE MADNESS.
