| Subject: Oh wow, well I guess that is why some did not announce them. It should be okay with some tweaking for future years. I know some changed their talents since their state wins as well, so it might be they didn't know. |

>>Good evening everyone!
>>
>>Night 1 was a great night of competition. Reading
>>some of the comments, it does look like there is a
>>little bit of surprise with the preliminary winners.
>>I wouldn't say it was a total surprise. If I was
>>advising contestants in the future, and they are
>>wanting to win a SII preliminary, I am telling them to
>>get to the end of the group. I am kind of struck how
>>much it seems like Emma's prelim win last year. She
>>won night 1 at the end of the group speaking about a
>>sibling with special needs. And that worked out for
>>her very well. I am not fearlessly predicting that
>>just yet for Hollis, but it will bode well for her
>>being in the top 10. I will run down that in a later
>>post.
>>
>>As far as talent, the talent was not overwhelming.
>>Only a handful were in an elite group. IN gave a
>>spirited performance, and I think that is what
>>contributed to her win. Plus, she went later in the
>>group. You will see this over the years, a lot of
>>times winners come from later in the group. Every now
>>and then they come from earlier in the group, but a
>>lot of times later. I thought OH had it, she was in a
>>class by herself. She reminds me of the old pianists
>>at Miss America. We will see what she does tomorrow
>>night. There are a few I eliminated tonight because
>>their talent was that weak, but I do think there are a
>>lot of contestants in play.
>>
>>I do want to mention that I have not ordered the
>>program book, but I do not know the format for the top
>>whatever it is. And when the announced the online
>>voting, they did not mention if it would be a top 15
>>or top 10. I am guessing perhaps a top 15. I think
>>there should be, but I digress.
>>
>>The ones that really rose to the top for me tonight
>>were the following:
>>
>>MA-I am keeping a very close eye on her. It's about
>>time for MA to have a Miss America. Katrina has great
>>stage presence and stands out from a crowd. She has
>>an it factor and speaks very well. I already have her
>>in my top 10 and am looking forward to her talent.
>>
>>FL-Her talent is weaker, but she does have a strong
>>presence about her. She is at least in my top 10, I
>>am not sure what her talent will do.
>>
>>My pleasant surprises of the night were the Ws-West
>>Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. I thought WV was
>>natural, spoke well, and just had something very
>>likeable about her. She might be one that sneaks into
>>the top 10. WI was a very good speaker and she had to
>>have scored well tonight. WY is absolutely
>>adorable-fresh, young, unique, and I loved her gown.
>>
>>Overall, the talent that we knew is a thing of the
>>past, and there were only a handful tonight that were
>>wow factor, but that is the new normal now. I think
>>SII is more of a regular competition now and you are
>>seeing it more competitive.
>>
>>A full rundown tomorrow! Look around 2 p.m. EST.
>>
>>Until then, good sleeping!
