[PeppyGPhiB]

I thought the puppets/singing was amazing, actually. Singing in three different voices, plus the puppetry skill? Yeah, I thought she was quite talented. I also thought her interview answer was good, and I was shocked she didn't win. I thought Nebraska's interview question was Meh ("When it comes to national security, the top priority is security...")

I liked the evening gowns for the most part. There weren't any that I hated. I LOVED Miss New York's - thought it was very sophisticated and made her look like a woman next to a bunch of young girls, frankly.

Talent was uneven. Loved the Irish dancing and Miss Arkansas' singing ventriloquism (however it's spelled), but thought Miss Delaware's dancing was pretty weak.

I also loved the DSW Miss America Collection ads.
