I actually think that the internet and social media now have something to do with it. Although I didn't watch the pageant, I think a lot of them are pretty just based on a few pictures I have seen. Still, there was once a time when if you wanted attention and notoriety that you might be able to parlay into a career in the entertainment field, the pageant circuit was one way to do it. Now you can just post pictures of yourself online and make Youtube videos and you have just as much chance of being discovered.
