Top 10 after watching Prelims:
Kimball
Kailee
Catherine
Alicia
Janae
Megan
Ramya
Jacque
Ashley
Haley/Moriah - depends if the judges liked singers or dancers more.

Bubbles: Jodee (I don't think Jodee's talent is strong enough and I think her EG score was very middle-of-the-pack) and Hannah (LOVED the painting, but I'm on the fence about her EG and she seems very "green").

Top 5:
Alicia
Kimball
Catherine
Megan
Janae

I was very impressed with Kailee on Prelims night... I wasn't expecting her to be so strong and have grown so much since last year. But for some reason, I have more confidence in Megan's interview and so she bumps Kailee out of my Top 5.

I think Alicia is going to win. I would rather Kimball because she's so great and fun, but Kimball's talent might hold her back. I love it and I think it's fun and different. But with those added lights and curtains on the stage, she is really limited by space. How disappointing that she had to take out some of her tricks and alter her routine the week of... but she's handling it like a pro and doing her best. I'd love to see what she could do on the Miss America stage.

I really really really want Janae to wait for a couple of years. If she continues to grow in our program, I think she could be a LOCK for Top 5 at Miss America.

We all wonder what the judges want, but here is what I hope they are looking for tonight when they get to the T5 ballot: a woman who is real, who can go above and beyond for the job every day of her year, who can genuinely connect with others, who is immediately likable, and who can make the country/judges fall in love with them at Miss A. I think that will be Kimball or Alicia. I really hope they are the final two tonight.

Your post makes a lot of sense. Those are strong young women. It would be great if the judges use the criteria you listed but the judging system is seriously flawed. Last year was a prime example of that. I think judges should come from leaders and role models in our state. I think judges with other state MAO connections have a conflict of interest, human nature being what it is, Would love to see Janae have more time to grow in the program too. Alicia is also young. She will also get even stronger given time. Both would make good title holders. Catherine ages out after this year. Her talent would be amazing on Miss America stage. Kailee is very sweet. Kimball is very fun and friendly. Megan's talent is also great. Will just have to wait and see.
