Happy Sunday everyone!

It is hard to believe, but it is Miss America time. The board is cleaned up here, and time for some commentary! I will be posting live during the preliminaries with all talent selections listed either live or the next day. Sometimes it goes very quickly with these preliminaries because there are no breaks in between. That is especially true of the SII rounds, they just move from one to the next.

This is the first year EVER I think that I will not be able to see the pageant live. I will be home around 10 p.m. EST and will start watching then. I am in charge of our work party and there is no getting out of it. Of course, if we had Miss America in AC in September this wouldn't be a problem. So it's not my fault. ;)

As far as my predictions-I do know who I saw during the state pageant season, and I still think Avery Bishop is one to keep an eye on. One thing about her that I found out, accidentally I might add, is that she does ASMR videos. She has a strong online presence. We are officially off the air now so it doesn't matter about "growing the brand." That ship has sailed. I am also keeping my eye on NY. I know, I say it every year, but this year Taryn is very young, modern, and she seems exactly what a modern Miss America would be like.

Of some of the other pageants I have seen, I believe OK is a strong lock for the top 10 and possibly top 5. She is very well-rounded and this is Oklahoma, after all. I believe AR might be back in the top 15 after a few years absence. FL I would base on state reputation, it's hard to say. VA-yes, I believe she will be there in the top 15 as well. But just keeping it real-I rarely say this about a Miss VA, but she has something off-putting about her. She's not very humble or gracious, she has an air about her.

In some of the other states, I hear that OH is the daughter of one of the Farrell sisters. I liked all of them from over the years, so it will be nice to see her. I understand she is quite talented. CA-even though you broke my heart judges (!) it does seem like she is a strong contestant and I would love for CA to finally have a Miss America again. They are well overdue.

It's hard to predict anymore because everything is so random and the judging criterion so confusing, but we'll see what happens. There is a lot, as always, that we don't know. An Emma or Cara could come up and upend everything.

But, we'll find out starting soon! Please post your predictions, let us know about your state and why she is worthy of the title of Miss America.

[> Subject: FL .. just makes me smile and feel good about MAO, from what other voys say, there is concern about her talent - hate it is 50% makes no sense. The other end, not interested in OR, voys mention her a lot - but her social media reads plastic to me. Maybe something in the middle - MN, unique talent & SII

[> [> Subject: FL did well tonight, I do think she will be in the top 10. I did see her talent, it is probably not strong enough to compete to win but you never know. OR did have a good performance and she's very cute. I haven't seen her interviews, so it's hard to say what the other half brings. MN-I liked her tonight, she stood out to me. And I loved her gown. I think if she articulates herself as she did onstage in interview she will be in the mix.
