My Dream Judges Panel

Posted Monday, November 01, 2010

Well, faithful readers. It is less than 90 days until the Miss America pageant, where we will welcome another young women into this incredibly sorority.

We've already learned about our awesome host and co-host - but I can't be the ONLY one who is curious about who will judge the pageant. For the last couple of weeks, I have been setting up polls on the main page of our Web site about who should judge each area of competition.

I thought it might be fun for me to dream up the perfect panel (to me) and then see what you guys had to say about it!

So, without further ado:


Tim Gunn - I think Tim Gunn has such a keen sense of style and what it means to be modern without sacrificing classic concepts. I would love love love to see his take on the evening gown competition and also what the contestants choose to wear for the interview portion of competition.

Kirsten Haglund - It's no secret that I think Kirsten Haglund is just about the neatest thing since sliced bread. I think she has been out in the world long enough since giving up her crown to be a good judge of a modern contestant, and she was also Miss America recently enough that she understands what the job entails in the here and now. Beyond that, Kirsten is deeply involved with her charitable organization, the Kirsten Haglund Foundation.

Jillian Michaels I don't care what anyone says, I'm not sure there is a woman in the world who knows more about fitness and health than Jillian.

Diane Saywer - She is part of the ABC family and has made a career out of engaging interviews. I would love to see how she approached the interview portion of the competition and I think she would have really compelling questions.

Jimmy Kimmel - He is also part of the ABC family and while he may not have the most "serious" persona, I think he'd be a good judge. He knows a lot about the entertainment industry and I think if he DID judge the pageant, it would draw a lot of viewers.

Celine Dion - She would be a great judge for the talent portion of the competition. She is SO Las Vegas, for one, and of course her personal talent alone is staggering.

So! That's my fantasy panel - what's yours?
