| Subject: I personally like the Personality Interviews to be conducted first before the Swimsuit and Evening Gown Preliminary Competitions! Why? For the judges to catch a glimpse or have an Idea of how the Candidates present herself in the Interview and see how Truthful & Smart she is in her Answers! In the Interview Portion, the Judges can see who's Real & who's Fake! The Interview portion could give the delegate a Judge a Lasting Impression !!! The Girl with Winsome Personality & BRILLIANT MIND should Win! | |
