Subject: Non-bias in choosing top ten

Okay, I'm from a "sash country." I happen to think that Miss USA makes it to the top ten/twelve because she deserves to, but many other people disagree with me. I've come up with the following idea for the preliminary judging. Tell me what you think. I think it could work and we'd see, perhaps, a totally different top ten than usual, or we'd see the "sash" countries still making the top ten, which might quiet some of the detractors. Here's my idea: When the delegates arrive in the host country, randomly assign each a number (so this year it would be a number from 1-75). The preliminaries would happen on three different days, as follows:

Preliminary Day One:

Half (Group 1): swimsuits
Half (Group 2): evening gowns

Preliminary Day Two:

Group 1: evening gowns
Group 2: swimsuits

(in other words, the girls who competed in swimsuits on day 1, would compete in evening gowns on day 2 and vice-versa)

Day Three:

Interviews (Here the country each girl represents would have to be known by the judges, as I'm sure they would want to ask questions about the country from which each girl comes. However, the swimsuit and evening gown competitions (two-thirds of the preliminary scores) will have already taken place with each girl having competed as a number instead of a country, thus alleviating country favoritism.

Do you think this would work?
