Anyway, goodluck to her. Maybe she just still can't get over the fact that she's a second best for this year.

Better give it to Wisconsin!

Just received a word that Alyssa indeed declined her title and ME USA is planning to award the Air crown to another lady.

That’s disappointing. It makes her look like a sore loser. We’ve all watched the pageant and Marisa won fair and square.
The MEUSA Air title could have given her a wider reach for her environmental platform. My understanding is that the elemental titleholders can compete again so that couldn’t be the reason why she turned it down unless the rules have changed.
Or perhaps she really is considering competing as Miss Earth USVI.
Hopefully she releases a statement to help us fans understand why.

It's part of the culture of some sort. You did not win? Move on to the next one. Unlike here in the Philippines where runners up are still kinda treated as queens, in US, they are not. So in a way, I sort of understand. Disappointing but I understand.

If that’s the case, then I find it truly sad. We all know that the runners up in any Miss Earth pageant (both international and national) play a vital role unlike in other pageants. With her high profile and following, Alyssa could have devoted a year to help promote various environmental causes using the MEUSA platform. She’s still young so other pageants could wait. Why the rush?
Unless she’s the next rep from USVI.
