(75.97.137.92.res-cmts.sewb.ptd.net/75.97.137.92) 22:55:44 04/10/26 Fri No she just was not good enough to make the ten outside of her prelim group. (NT) No name (NoHost/172.56.68.21) 23:46:29 04/10/26 Fri This was one of the years where they had a separate panel of judges judging preliminaries vs. final night. The preliminary wins were a bit wonky already... and the finals night judges just didn't see the same spark in Iowa that the prelim judges did. Let us not forget how subjective this all is, to a point. (NT) Simple as that! (108-248-242-254.lightspeed.cicril.sbcglobal.net/108.248.242.254) 02:19:39 04/11/26 Sat Well, I would assume if they had separate judging panels that she made the first cut pretty much on the strength of her talent. Unfortunately, due to the finals format, the second group of judges never got to see her talent as she was eliminated before. (NT) -- No name, 15:27:44 04/11/26 Sat (47.sub-174-216-0.myvzw.com/174.216.0.47) I'm confused why you would assume that... she won both preliminaries, not just talent. She DID compete in Swimsuit on Finals night, and despite winning the preliminary, that wasn't enough to get her into the Top 10. Why is the idea that judges have subjective tastes so impossible to accept? (NT) -- Is there a delusion that this is all 100% objective?, 15:46:51 04/11/26 Sat (108-248-242-254.lightspeed.cicril.sbcglobal.net/108.248.242.254) Oh, I'm confused. When the poster said Iowa, I automatically thought about Diana Reed, the baton twirler I have no idea how that double preliminary winner did not advance. However, some people on the board were saying at the time they had no idea how she won 2 preliminaries. I have no opinion, as I was not there. (NT) -- No name, 18:57:52 04/11/26 Sat (47.sub-174-216-0.myvzw.com/174.216.0.47) The poster is asking about 'the year Georgia won Miss America', so Miss America 2016 - Betty Cantrell. (NT) -- Though admittedly, they could have been clearer lol, 03:53:52 04/12/26 Sun (108-248-242-254.lightspeed.cicril.sbcglobal.net/108.248.242.254) It seems impossible to find preliminary groups listed, so who in her group advanced past her, if any? (NT) No name (NoHost/212.15.84.201) 23:27:22 04/11/26 Sat I will check and see if I have the program book from that year. (NT) -- No name, 02:59:13 04/12/26 Sun (47.sub-174-216-0.myvzw.com/174.216.0.47) I found the program book for that year. The following were in Iowa's group and placed higher than her: Alabama- Meg McGuffin-4th runner-up, Mississippi- Hannah Roberts - 1st runner-up, Oklahoma - Georgia Frazier - top 10. Arkansas was also in her group, but just made top 15; Wiebers made it to top 12, but never performed her talent during finals night. (NT) -- No name, 15:39:04 04/12/26 Sun (184-97-53-97.lcrs.centurylink.net/184.97.53.97) I might add that Taylor Wiebers sang "Don't Forget Me" for her talent presentation. That song can be difficult to sing because some performers tend to shout in the upper ranges. Wiebers did a good job with it, and it (NT) -- No name, 16:31:14 04/12/26 Sun (184-97-53-97.lcrs.centurylink.net/184.97.53.97) I might add that Taylor Wiebers sang "Don't Forget Me" for her talent presentation. That song can be difficult to sing because some performers tend to shout in the upper ranges. Wiebers did a good job with it, and it's a shame that she didn't advance to top 10 after being a dobule preliminary winner, Having said that I doubt, though, that she would have beat Betty Cantrell if she had advanced. (NT) -- No name, 16:35:39 04/12/26 Sun (184-97-53-97.lcrs.centurylink.net/184.97.53.97) Taylor was knocked out after the evening gown segment. She wore one of the more lackluster gowns among the Top 12 and that is why she did not advance and compete in talent. (NT) No name (162.10.197.194.netskope-rdns.com/162.10.197.194) 18:36:13 04/12/26 Sun But what's really interesting is that she beat both the 1st runner up and the 4th runner up in 2 different categories in the preliminaries. (NT) -- No name, 19:52:31 04/12/26 Sun (47.sub-174-216-0.myvzw.com/174.216.0.47) A 5 year old could have beaten Hannah Roberts in talent. How she finished 1st RU with that "talent" was ridiculous! (NT) -- No name, 20:18:35 04/12/26 Sun (NoHost/172.56.86.160) I agree with you on that. Never figured out how she made it to 1st runner up. (NT) -- No name, 23:27:30 04/12/26 Sun (NoHost/159.100.209.52) I had to back and rewatch the talent competition from that year. That violin piece was pretty weak.
