Took me a long time to come up with this list. I'm sure there will be surprises but hope the top 16 would be within these 26 contestants. What are your thoughts about my list?

MISS USA 2013: Alabama (If she nails final question, she'll win)
1st RU: Virginia (please fix your hair for finals, definitely pageant pro and happy if she wins)
2nd RU: West Virginia (if she makes top 5, I expect her to do well in final question)
3rd RU: Utah
4th RU: Maryland


Top 10
Connecticut (on the verge of making top 5)
Illinois (if she changes her gown, I think she can advance)
Nevada (great presentation but I think other contestants are more pretty)
Florida (oddmakers favor her for some reason so I'll give her a spot in top 10)
Michigan (her body will bring her to 10 but further??)


Top 16
New Jersey (slightly missed my top 10 but not surprised if she does well)
Texas
Ohio
Louisiana (she didn't look as good as in photos)
Kentucky
Georgia (I didn't have her at first but she gave a great prelim performance so I'll give her spot 16)

Top 26 Bubbles
Tennessee (barely missed my top 16, strong sash and great presentations make her a possibility)
Minnesota (the hair took off a few points for me but she's a maybe)
South Carolina (I thought she did fair but didn't look as cute as in photos)
Colorado (many favor her and like her hair while I also thought she stood out)
Washington (she stood out last night, gown presentation was good, great stage presence)
Arkansas
New York (my sentimental favorite, her gown could've been better but her walk, fierceness, and personality can get her through)
Delaware (she looks so pretty but her presentation was like Russia 2010. I hope she breaks the curse though but see her falling a little short)
Idaho (gown was good, maybe Trump pick??)
North Carolina (noticed her last night for the first time and she performed better than some contestants!)

And the list continues, Montana (experienced and did well last night), Oregon (despite her body, she looks quite pretty, possible Trump pick?), California (strong sash), Vermont (for some reason, I noticed her... hmm..), and District of Columbia (she also grabbed my attention)!

I wish all the girls the best and may the best win on Sunday!!!
