Revealing the judges' top 10 (in random order):
- Florida
- North Dakota
- Georgia
- Maryland
- California
- South Carolina
- Iowa
- Wisconsin
- Nevada
- Louisiana

Now let's get to the evening gown!!! Something that I have been dying for.... I seriously live for this moment. Let me start by saying, this is the most exciting stage ever, because FINALLY they have staircase for the girls. It obviously made the catwalk harder, but of course it's more fun to watch! I do appreciate the fact that they let all of the girls out in their evening gown. Let's talk no further and let's check out the ten finalists in their evening gown.

FLORIDA

She decided to wear the same evening gown for the finals. It was a good gown, very safe, but there's nothing more to it. One thing I love from this dress, there isn't any slit in the dress, made her look sexy without being cha-cha. But I must say, there were better dresses. I do love the fact the hair was simple, put into one side, because the dress isn't extravagant, we don't want the hair to be out of place. I'm not loving the way she raised her dress to make sure she doesn't slip, not very elegant. 8.7/10

NORTH DAKOTA

 

See the way Miss North Dakota came down the stairs? She didn't hold the dress and walk confidently. It was a very nice thing to see of her. The dress was gorgeous but I wished that the material was not satin because as she walks, I could see the dress wrinkled too. Red would've been better I think, because with that red lipstick she looked like christmas haha Anyways, I adore her hair. 8.8/10

GEORGIA

Man, when she walked down that stairs, I stopped breathing!!! It was drop dead GORGEOUS!!!! Definitely won my heart! Starting with the hair, she NAILED her look with the 50's hairstyle. And then that mermaid-style dress fitted her PERFECTLY. I love the shape of the gold bustier. But clearly, that red lipstick is definitely the icing on the cake. I wanted her to win, if looking this gorgeous. #savethequeengeorgia #savethequeengeorgia #savethequeengeorgia #savethequeengeorgia 9.8/10

MARYLAND

Aiyaya.... Why oh why. Why did you have to hold that dress like that?!?! It's like, "hey I have sexy legs, wanna check them out?" I am not a fan of this dress to begin with, and it breaks my heart because she is absolutely gorgeous!!! When she let go of the dress, she looked much more regal. (Especially when they did a back view of the dress, it was amazingly sexy) Oh and I'm not loving her pose in front of the piano. 8.2/10

CALIFORNIA

She was a surprise for me and it was not a pleasant one. To me, she's super ordinary. And that dress was even more ordinary. That slit is not working for me and her cleavage was so out there. From the back, as she walked, you could see it was rather loose. Mess. 7.9/10

I hated the fact that they changed the elegant song to another one without an transition.

SOUTH CAROLINA

Whoooshhh... This girl came down with a mermaid dress and clearly setting the bar pretty high. She looked very pretty and tall! I loved the way the dress swept the whole floor haha I really do! I think if Mr. Walt Disney saw this he would've included her as Disney princesses. 8.7/10

IOWA

Miss Iowa sticks with this GORGEOUS gown throughout the evening gown portrait, preliminary and final telecast. It was surprising to me actually, considering the amount of luggage she brought. (Look at the picture HERE) However, I am so so glad, in a way, that she didn't change because... I mean... look at that neckline sequin... When she went down the stairs.... my eyes were glued to her, that I don't remember it was still a competition. She looked like my Miss USA already! 9.3/10

WISCONSIN

See, I love twirls, but when they overdid it, that's a big no no for me. She did at least THREE twirls in just 31 seconds (I counted). And she slipped... mess. See, what I don't like is when girls get too pageant-betty with their performances. I am not a fan of girls who are holding the dress like a butterfly. I mean in real life you don't normally do that, know what I mean? Just be real. The dress...... I don't like it either. I think white do look better on her and her hair up just completes the mess. I don't wanna sound so bitchy, but that yellow earrings are unnecessary. Don't get me wrong guys, I do love her.. just not this performance. 7.7/10

NEVADA

Nia Sanchez wore this strapless red gown that was designed by Michael Costello. I thought she looked radiant, it had impact, but this dress by itself, not so much. I am not a fan of the shape of the mermaid at the bottom and in the middle part (The side flounces) . I thought it looked weird how it's just hanging there. But after looking at it for a while, I noticed that my main problem is the slit! To me the slit screams "hey I wanna show my sexy legs okay?! cut that dress in the middle!" However, thank God it was Nia who wore it, because otherwise it would've looked awful. 9.0/10

LOUISIANA

My problem with her is the same as Miss Wisconsin. I thought it was too pageant-betty (the way she kept on holding on to the dress). I would've loved to see her just let go of the dress and walk confidently. In terms of the overall look, she looked really stunning. 8.7/10

MY TOP 5+1:

- GEORGIA

- IOWA

- NEVADA

- NORTH DAKOTA

- FLORIDA

- LOUISIANA

(I noticed how all of the states I mentioned in my personal top 6 ends with A)

*** I loved both background song, but not the transition.

Not in love with Jeannie Mai's green/black dress....

ANNOUNCEMENT OF TOP 5+1 TWITTER-SAVED:
- GEORGIA
- LOUISIANA
- NEVADA
- FLORIDA
- NORTH DAKOTA
- IOWA (TWITTER-SAVED)

My reaction to the top 6 announcement:

LOVED the reaction of Miss Georgia and Miss Iowa, HATED the reaction of Miss North Dakota. She looked so teeny and all over the place.

Giuliana changed again and it was the absolute BEST!

Giuliana Rancic

Fun interview with the top 6 contestants:
- IOWA: Boring answer
- NORTH DAKOTA: Really annoying voice and definiteky disturbed with ".... so yeah" at the end.
- FLORIDA: Not a fan how she kept on repeating I love line dancing....
- NEVADA: How many times have I heard about this 4th degree blackbelt in taekwondo?
- LOUISIANA: The fans were great. She was not that great.
- GEORGIA: When she pouched her lips saying thank you to Giuliana, it was definitely the best moment! So fabulous!!!! I loved her voice!

The best performance at the fun interview: Miss Georgia

hahahahaha I can't believe they would show the highs and lows of the final question round.... the 1982 was funny how her face was just like :o........ and 2001 turned from this pageant smile to this fuck I messed this up face..... then the all famous Miss South Carolina Teen in 2007..... then 2002 hahaha then the good my favorite was 1997, Brook Lee.


That really gave more pressure to the ladies.. I'm sure... because they don't want to add the low moment history....



FINAL QUESTION:

IOWA

She fell flat when answering the question. She just responded to the question, stating that she does think that people are getting narcissistic. I was quite surprised when she just ended it there.

NORTH DAKOTA
I seriously cannot get over at how annoying her voice is! It was very sloppy and not regal or elegant in any way. She needs more class when she speaks, especially when becoming a Miss USA you will be a spokesperson for so many causes. At this point, I think she just lost it for me.

FLORIDA
A personal answer, it was good, BUT the packaging of the answer wasn't right. It was too pageant-betty when she said "It is an honor to be with these women blablabla...."

NEVADA
I personally think it was the best answer among the other six. Nice answer but when she spoke I felt like she stopped a little too much in the middle, I thought it could've flowed better. But that was a minor problem. My major problem is that taekwondo thing got waaaaaay too repetitive! I mean is there nothing else you do than doing taekwondo? 

LOUISIANA
I personally think it was the hardest question of the night. If I was her, I'd pee right away! LOL She did came out nervous in her facial expression and in the answer. I don't really like when girls repeat what they just said 5 seconds ago, and that's what she did. She ran out of things to say and she just basically repeated her first sentence.

GEORGIA
Again, her voice is ultra sexy!!! I love how she tried to get hold of the microphone but Giuliana didn't let it go. Her answer was pretty good, I think it was the second best.... Until the end when she ended it so awkwardly. It needed to be polished better.

Florida needs to let go of her dress when coming down the stairs!
North Dakota really changed my mind from being my favorite to the last because of her voice.
Iowa looked super pretty but she walked kinda too slow.


FINAL WALK OF ERIN BRADY.

The video was cute, so sad to see her go. I didn't know she was featured in Gavin DeGraw's vid? I am so sure gonna check it out soon!

The gown was ugh, very average. She could've done better. And was holding the dress necessary? Love the words though.
