I think Bailey was a good choice. She's gorgeous, she performed well, she has a good career, and she didn't make a fool out of herself in final question. Thank god the judges seemed to actually take into account the answers, because Vicksburg and Greenwood were awful, and the idea of a non-scored final question does not sit right with me. I don't think we'll be seeing a back-to-back win for Mississippi, but I do like Bailey.
I'm happy enough with this result! I had Bailey as my 1RU, because I felt she was slightly outshone by Kerrie in prelims, which she was, but that's not to say that she's not a talented performer as well. She still managed to beat Kerrie even though OSQ was technically "unscored" for some reason, and I'm happy about that. Maybe Bailey didn't answer the question fully, but Kerrie's answer was a confusing word salad and you can't send contestants to Miss USA who are bad at OSQ if you expect to win. Bailey's a fine choice, I'm excited to watch her journey to Miss USA.
