>>>Top of the evening!

>>>Another night of competition, and we have got
>>>ourselves a competition here. Some that
>>>underperformed tonight stepped it up tonight, and
>vice
>>>versa. There have been some consistent ones and I am
>>>looking forward to sorting it all out. Overall, the
>>>talent tonight was weaker. There were one or two
>real
>>>doozies. I will post more about that tomorrow for
>the
>>>big talent thread. Some I have eliminated because of
>>>talent, sadly.
>>>
>>>I have a few solids in my top 15 and a lot of ones
>>>that could go either way for me, and the fun task is
>>>coming up with a top 15. Some I eliminated after
>last
>>>night already, 14 to be exact. I want to caution
>>>everyone that this is only the second year of scoring
>>>like this and that it may be impossible to tell who
>is
>>>going to make the top 15. If your favorite does not
>>>do well, do not be upset. And I also want to caution
>>>that it is near impossible to tell who is really
>>>setting themselves apart from the competition. Even
>>>if you do win important awards, you may not crack the
>>>top 15. That happened with the two interview
>>>winners-Michigan and Oregon in 2019. Neither made
>the
>>>top 15. The SII winners were Victoria Hill (GA) and
>>>Jade Glebs (NJ.) Victoria was a double preliminary
>>>winner and 1st runner up, Jade Glebs made the top 15
>>>but not top 7. Camille Schrier, the talent winner,
>>>won the pageant. Before this, especially in the
>>>Atlantic City return years, featured a lot of
>>>non-preliminary winners capture the crown. It
>started
>>>with Mallory in Vegas, repeating with Nina and Kira,
>>>Cara, and Nia. I really do not think we will see a
>>>repeat of last year with IL and NY as the final two
>>>standing. It is just impossible to tell what will
>>>happen.
>>>
>>>I was totally on board with IL's talent win, though I
>>>thought it would be SC. This particular judging
>panel
>>>scored later contestants as the winners; I have seen
>>>some panels score early contestants some years. I am
>>>going to be honest, out of all of the speakers
>>>tonight, I would have never had TX as the winner.
>>>It's funny-I was just thinking during the competition
>>>that TX was an off year for me. I didn't really even
>>>have her in my top 15 before this win. Except that
>>>she is Texas and it takes a near act of God for them
>>>to not crack the top 15. She will at least be top 15
>>>with her preliminary win, perhaps higher. I just
>>>wasn't overwhelmed with her talent performance,
>though
>>>I think it will be enough to get her into the top
>15.
>>>There were a LOT of good speakers tonight; in fact,
>>>better than last night.
>>>
>>>I think it does beg the question-especially with the
>>>SII competition, how can someone do poorly at that?
>>>You do have several months to rehearse and memorize a
>>>pitch. I guess the answer is if you ramble a lot and
>>>try and get a lot in, as I saw. The better answers,
>>>to me, were the ones that weren't so rushed and
>>>connected more with me as a person.
>>>
>>>I will post talent tomorrow and then a rundown of all
>>>the speaking and as much as one can possibly post on
>>>red carpet, a non-existent competition this year.
>>>
>>>Just of note: we have no idea who the final night
>>>judges are, if this panel is carrying over and NO

>>>HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED with less than 72 hours to go.
