I've competed for my country (about 10 years ago) and honestly, it was just easy money as far as I was concerned (like you have to pay for everything but if you win or do well, you'll make money from modelling afterwards). 
I didn't care about modelling, nobody cared about my personality or likes/dislikes.
It's 100% about looks and it looks kind of old fashioned now.
The women who participate are into the whole thing. From what I've seen it seems very superficial, they are trying to get more preparing for success rather than the success itself, but whatever floats their boat. Whether anybody wants to watch it or not a separate matter, but at the end of the day it's just one of countless ways to waste time. >
