This one is still too close to call...and I don't think prelims will count for much in the end. That said, here are who I have in the 15 based on prelim performance.

The "Shoo-ins": South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, Missouri, California (and this could be top 5 as far as I'm concerned).

The "Good bets": Mississippi, Tennessee, Arizona, Alabama, Connecticut

The "Reasonable chances": Nebraska (would love to see her talent again), Washington, Texas, Georgia, New Mexico, North Carolina, Massachusettes, Florida, Kentucky, Minnesota

[> Subject: Only thing I would swap AZ in the top 5 for MO. AZ has been strong and hitting across the board, I didn’t like MO evening gown today and felt it was a miss when put up alongside the other girls gowns

[> [> Subject: MO’s dress was pretty, but the slit hit in a weird spot and threw the rest off. But she’s been consistent even if not a top performer so I wonder how she’ll place

[> [> Subject: Oh I loved it! After a while, all the glitter gowns start looking the same. I thought MO's gown was elegant and really revealed the girl in the dress, not the girl wearing 35 pounds of AB crystals and bugle beads. :-)

[> [> Subject: OH’s talent was amazing, so I would definitely add her to the top 15. But not OR, talent wasn’t very good and didn’t care for her evening gown either. But she was very energetic.

[> [> [> Subject: I’d say the top 5 last year (besides whoever the pianist was) didn’t have any strong talent so I don’t think that’ll hold any girl back if she can make up for it in pretty points in other categories
