Bodyguard romance is my personal kryptonite. Alas, I also went through a pageant phase in the Miss America circuit. I have no idea where all of these pageant rules & regs are coming from, so we are kicking this off with serious plausibility issues. Add on the fact that our heroine is ~not like other pageant girls~ she’s only doing it to shout out her friend’s business?!?!?! How cringy would it be for her to be sincere about competing? Ew gross. Being genuine is so cringe. 

Anyways it’s a hard pass. 

DNF early and DNF often, kids.
