[> Subject: Contestant introductions were TERRIBLE. Contestants getting off of bus, in dressing rooms, walking through airport, etc. introducing themselves.

[> Subject: Hot Topic competition-I almost feel like congratulating Miss TX because I think she just won with her answer about immigration. Many of the contestants pivoted back to their platform and barely answered the topic question. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:12:46 01/05/25 Sun >Here we go!

[> Subject: I actually thought the dancers, WI and AL, were two of the top talents. I also had TN as the other top and TX doing very well also.

[> Subject: FL and TX were the tops in gown. OH not quite as strong as in prelims but good. To me, this whole night is about FL, TX, OH, and AL. Here's the weird thing: I can't explain why but if OH misses I might not be totally shocked. She kind of bumbled her question and sometimes judging gets inexplicable. I might see SC and WI in the top 5 (despite SC in talent and WI in hot topics). Maybe even TN as an outside shot because I don't think MN, CO, GA, or OK are strong enough. But who knows?

[> Subject: No top 5 yet. It is taking FOREVER to introduce the FOREVERS. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:22:29 01/05/25 Sun >Here we go! National anthem is being sung now, then >introduction of contestants. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Top 5 TN AL TX FL OH Annette's reaction was absolutely adorable. If she wins we're all going to be on the floor.

[> Subject: Damn! This top 5 has completely risen to the top. It is going to be quite difficult because I think 4 of 5 of them has done everything to win. I think it is going to be TX and she just keeps getting more charming all night. It wasn't her answer, it was everything she did. I would be happy with any of these as the winner, they're all amazing. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:36:49 01/05/25 Sun >Here we go!

[> [> Subject: “Four out of five have done everything to win” is spot on. I was 100% on board with anyone but TN. TN’s talent was strong, but she wasn’t nearly as compelling as the others in the 5. I would have swapped her out for OK or WI in the top 5. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:01:13 01/06/25 Mon >>Here we go!

[> [> [> Subject: Agreed. More on this later, but I almost feel like TN was process of elimination. Although, she got very high above a very competent FL and OH. I would have easily had WI there until she bombed that hot topics portion. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:43:07 01/06/25 Mon >>>Here we go!

[> Subject: My predictions: 4th TN, 3rd OH, 2nd AL, 1st FL and Miss America TX Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:45:21 01/05/25 Sun >Here we go! National anthem is being sung now, then >introduction of contestants. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: AL poster again. This is exactly how I expected things to shake out in the 5. I initially had OH as first runner up to TX and Alabama second. But I felt that OH faltered just a bit in her speaking portions toward the end of the night. It wouldn’t have hurt her at all except that Florida was just about flawless in speaking. I swapped FL and OH placements but still felt Abbie couldn’t be lower than 2nd. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:57:48 01/06/25 Mon >>Here we go!

[> [> [> Subject: Agreed on OH faltering. Her first answer during the hot topics really wasn't on topic with the actual topic. That whole competition was a mess, more on that later. I think OH also was a bit too dramatic when she spoke and had she maybe toned it down and focused on her answer, she might have fared a bit better. Also agree about FL-she was very eloquent last night and throughout the week. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:45:45 01/06/25 Mon >>>Here we go!
