I guess, the setting, the stage, the backdrop and everything else about this contest is anything but hideous!. Is that blue curtain as the backdrop?, the low ceiling as it was done outside at the backyard of a house!
So Julia Morley, it seems that you need to find a new organizer for this contest soon.
But all in all, it goes down to the support that this contest get and in this case, I guess the organizer did not get the support and sponsorship it needed.
