Yes, the judges are fair and honest. I have judged for National American Miss and was very impressed with the way the judges were held accountable and not allowed to discuss their scores with one another. The judges score sheets are collected after each event, so there is no opportunity to make changes. Each contestant is scored as she presents herself on stage during the formal wear competition and then the personal introduction and interview competitions. There was one time that I felt a girl I liked the most should have won, but the auditor showed me the score sheets from all of the other judges and the majority of the judges had picked the other girl to win. I then understood why they have so many judges and it is not just up to one or two judges to decide, each of the judges scores matters. In my opinion, National American Miss is a very reputable pageant system.
Implies possesiveness, also the first part of her 1981 national best selling advice book, "Miss Piggy's Guide To Life".

A miss universe contestants don't necessarlly need to be a model to win. But, contestants do however, have to be good looking though.
