So even though I thought Michigan gave a great interview answer, it didn't count. She must have had a great score from the prelims.

Three nights of prelims:
She had won swimsuit, night two.
Iowa had won talent, night one. Texas won swimsuit night three.
All I have to say is that I was really disappointed this year. When they got to the end, I really thought Miss Washington, Miss Indiana, Miss California, and Miss Wisconsin would top out. They were not "classic pageant beauties." But, they could have been awesome choices.
Miss America had the opportunity to change its image. Instead, the judges just couldn't help themselves and voted a girl that was more Miss USA than Miss America.
