Oh my God! My sis and I just finished watching that show. This was the best we had ever seen. They had so many beautiful women, in all honesty--unlike past women.
I found it odd that 4 of the 5 finalists were Blacks, but I thought they deserved it. (In all honesty, at first I thought it might be in relations with the Black Histroy month, but I thought the girls deserved it nonetheless. They were beautiful and gorgeous ladies. ) It's funny that, ironically, past judges have tended to give Black contestants extremely low scoring, though.
I luved Miss Kansas, so I was content with the picks. Of all Miss USA events I have ever watched, this was the best I had ever seen of judges with good taste and judgment. I felt a sense of honesty from the judges' side.
If the final decisionwas to be based on the final responses, the judges made an excellent pick. I told my sis that on merits I would pick Miss DC 'cuz she gave the smartest and fastest response with good composure. Then I would pick Kansas for runner-up. The rest, I didn't really care for their responses.
I wished Miss Kansas had given a better answer than Miss DC, but she didn't. Miss Kansas was so elegant . . . simple in look, tall and, well, elegant.
Anyway, the judges fitted people to their respective earned positions. They were the best of judges I had ever seen. Miss DC had the best body in swimsuit . . . none of those ladies had a perfect body, so I would pick Miss DC for best swimsuit look. Miss DC obviously lifts weight. I would almost vow that she's those bodybuilding female competitors. I'm not a fan of that kinda body for females; but speaking objectively I thought she had the best body in swimsuit.
On preference instead of merits, Miss Kansas would have gotten my vote for winner . . . I kept wishing she would win! Hehehehe!
