Wow, you took the words out of my mouth! Taryn is absolutely STUNNING! I was shocked to learn she is only 18. I'll be curious to see how she does on Thursday. She did come across as trying too hard.
I love Paige. She is absolutely adorable and has a fantastic personality. I know nothing about Sam, and truthfully, I had to go look her up because she did not stand out at all for me.
Connie needs help. She seems very smart and clever in her interviews, but a little bit too much "in your face". I don't think this will be here year, but I would expect she will do well.

Being "in your face" is successful at Miss America. Let's be honest, none of this is fair. There are other contestants in the past that should have won that never won because they weren't the directors favorite. It doesn't matter if the contestant is ready for MA, they don't care how she does at the end of the day. This state is behind, they aren't ready for someone who is edgy and in your face and could bring great publicity to the program.

Like who? Who should've won in the past that didn't?

Maybe my choice of saying "in your face" wasn't the best. There's a delicate balance of being confident and being aggressive. Maybe that's the point I wanted to make. I do like Connie and I do think she'll do well, I just don't think she'll win.
