The more I learn about the workings of figure & bikini contests the more I wouldn't want to be involved in them. (cept as a dirty old man spectator)
From my novice eye I can't decide what is worse - the lack of consistency in the judging criteria from one show to the next, or the absolute consistency of subjectivity from one show to the next.
That's why I like triathlons. If you cross the finish line in front of someone, you beat them. Referees can cause enough grief in any sport. (football, baseball, basketball, etc) BB, figure, bikini, that surfer dude stuff? Way too subjective.
