Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 22:11:32 01/05/23 Thu It’s not touching. It’s isolating for young women that compete that don’t have parents.

[> [> [> Subject: I agree, and not everyone has a set of two parents who are there supporting them. I wasn't thinking along this way at the time, but I totally agree that it can be difficult if you do not have an ideal parent situation, for whatever reason.

[> Subject: My guesses for top 7-NY, WV, OH, WI, NV, GA, IN

[> Subject: Surprised OH didn't get to the next round. But THRILLED TX did! I know IL is America's choice but she outperformed some of the others, IMO. I know she wasn't moving on but she did well.

[> Subject: SII-I thought GA, WI, and NV were the best, followed by IN.

[> Subject: Guesses for the top 5: GA, NY, IN, WI, NV

[> Subject: HOORAY! Averie made it to top 5! And West Virginia! I love her!

[> Subject: Final challenge-I think WI answered well, and directly. I would have her followed by WV who seemed logical. GA was good but she sort of bumbled at the end, and NY was good enough. TX took a chance to promote herself before answering generically. I would have ranked them like that.

[> [> Subject: So what do I think now? Could it be WV? She has been fantastic all night. I fear it is NY again. I didn't see Nina coming, and Taryn really did not perform like a Miss America all week. Nor did Nia. I hope maybe Averie wins. She is probably the best choice as far as social media. WI had a great competition, she is clearly the most consistent.

[> Subject: My predictions: 4th GA 3rd TX 2nd WV 1st WI Miss America 2023 NY. I hope I am wrong, but I think NY is about to have another Miss America. She's better tonight than through the week but there are holes in her competition. That's why I think she wins.

[> Subject: Aww this with Emma is getting me verklempt. If you cry, I will cry too. I loved how she turned around like she was taking it all in, and I loved how the MAOT came out and presented her with flowers. Very nice tribute to a wonderful Miss America.
