I have been told by a judge that in the past, in large competitions, his/her top picks don't always make it into the final five because high and low scores are dropped. That's when a judge likes the ranking because it gives each judge a say in the determination of the winner once the scores reveal the top five.

I like ranking and hope it comes back. MAO is not a talent contest, or a beauty contest, or an academic contest. The goal is to find a role model, an intelligent, well spoken, charismatic young woman who has that something special that cannot be determined by a point system. A pure point system often results in a cold, unrelatable winner who is not approachable or inspiring. Miss America should be so much more than a perfect body and incredible talent.
