If I were to write about the four Dancing Queen competitions, I would have to write at least six chapters about Pattaya Dancing Queen IV.

Find the voting totals in the spreadsheet below

The way the judging works is each judge has 3 votes. He gives 3 points to his first-choice girl, 2 points to his second-choice girl and 1 point for the girl he thinks finished 3rd in the competition. Note that I am calling judge number 1, Thai. Because he is the only Thai judge, and his real name is actually Thai.

What I fail to understand is Mew, contestant number six only getting six votes. When she won all three of the previous Pattaya Dancing Queen Competitions.

Mew was contestant number six. She finished 1st at Nikky Bar for Pattaya Dancing Queen 1. Then she finished first again in July 2022. Winning the votes from five judges out of five for best dancer. Which earned her 10000 baht. And also winning from all five judges for doing the Best Show for an additional 4000 baht. While on my birthday on April 2, 2023, Mew once again won a unanimous score from all five judges. And by unanimous, I mean all five judges gave her 3 points.

I also fail to understand why Koy and Mali who danced together as number 4 did not win a single vote from any of the five judges. This would mean that according to these judges’ contestants 1, 3, 7, 6, 5 and 9 were all better than Koy and Mali. The spreadsheet places Mali and Koy in 7th place out of 9 contestants. Just keep in mind that in Pattaya Dancing Queen 2, Koy tied Gee for a 2nd place finish, and I used to think that Gee was the best dancer on Soi 6 until I met Mew.

I really felt Koy and Mali would have given Mew a real run for the money, with either Mew or Koy and Mali finishing first for 20000 baht.

I felt this way although both Mali and Koy felt Mew is unbeatable. But oh well, who knows can happen whether the contest is Pattaya Dancing Queen 1, II, III or Pattaya Dancing Queen IV.

Mali is a newcomer on this scene. It is her first competition, but before the last competition at Nikky Bar last April 2, 2023, I was shooting video of her in my condo analyzing which dancers she felt were the best. Mali thought Koy would beat Mew. But I disagreed with her, telling her Mew will always win, even if it means paying off the judges. Which I meant as a joke because I knew Mew too well to think she would ever take unfair advantage of anyone.

Example in point. Whenever Mew would met me in Soi Six when we would go to various bars together, she always made it a point to endear herself with the bars’ managers and owners. Oftentimes she would buy a manager drinks. Once she even bought Andy six tequilas at Helicopter bar and challenged him to drink all six. While in general she would always say goodbye to the owner, manager or mamasan before we ventured on to another Soi Six Bar.

But Mew outdid herself at Nikky Bar on April 2nd 2023 by convincing not only all five judges but practically everyone in the bar that she was the best of the best.

And if you watch Mew’s 2023 Nikky Bar performance you can watch practically everyone rooting for her. While at the end of the performance she has Gee, Koy and several of the contestants dancing with her before she could even complete her performance. Just keep in mind that Mew was beating her fellow contestants out of the money they would have won if she hadn’t showed up.

In spite of her never competing in a single dancing queen competition I knew Mali was ready for Pattaya Dancing Queen IV. I’ve taken her to many bars and shot lots of video of her. In a lot of ways, she’s a lot like Mew. Having terrific coordination from her hands and arms all the way down to her legs. All moving in synchrony with the music. Very few people have this kind of natural talent. Moreover, just a few days before Pattaya Dancing Queen IV, Gee paid Mali the highest compliment by telling her, “You are one of the four monkeys.” Meaning, you are one of us four. Mew, Koy, and myself.

Kudos to contestant number 5, however. She was sexy. She has a great figure. She danced very well.

But she also made herself very noticeable. Posing in front of my camera from start to finish. She also cozied up a lot to Mali. Even though the pair never met. She missed a first-place finish by a single point.

I can go on and on, but I will let you be the judges. Just go to my Facebook page and tell us what you thought of the contest. And who you would have voted for had you been one of the judges.
