In the wake of Donald Trump offending almost everyone everywhere, and causing all the talent and the TV company to quit the Miss USA Pageant, the producers were left scrambling to find replacements for the hosts as well as the judges. Today it seems like the Miss Universe Organization has found a solution to the problem. They released a press statement saying, that former Miss USA and Miss Universe titleholders will judge the upcoming pageant.
Hit the jump to found out who the panel of hotties will include.
The new panel of judges includes the following:
Miss USA 1999 Kimberly Pressler
Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner
Miss USA 2008 Crystle Stewart
Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih
Miss USA 2012 Nana Meriwether
Miss Universe 2011 Leila Umenyiora
Miss Universe 1997 Brook Lee
Miss Universe 1992 Michelle McLean-Bailey
Miss Teen USA 2011 Danielle Doty
The Miss Universe Organization president previously stated that she would most likely resort to have former contestants judge the pageant. She said, “I think we’ll have a lot of formers involved to have them be judges to see who’s going to carry (the tradition) on.”
She also added that Miss Universe Organization is going to focus on the closeness of the pageant winners and the family like atmosphere. She said,
“One thing I do know is there are some great opportunities because so many of our former titleholders are so upset that everyone was forgetting about the women that are here and that have worked for years,” She added, “I really feel we’re going to use that as a big theme in the show — it’s a lot about family — and I think Baton Rouge is a lot about family.
The pageant will air this Sunday July 12 on Reelz.
