You know she's not my pick but I gotta say, she looks great in that photo

Yeah I know I am just so proud of her because that photo is getting closer to what she looks like in person and she's stunning - I know there is more coming from her because her directors know they have a diamond. I can admit that her pictures aren't good but they also do her no justice as I have said here earlier before. She is the most striking woman of color I have met since Crystle Stewart.
On top of that out of the 32 titleholders, I have met this year( I should probably disclose now that I am an image consultant for the organization. I go to many of the boot camps and state pageants every year and help the girls with their looks so they are ready for IMG. State directors call me in. Some girls take my advice and some don't. I politely smile at the ones that don't because I know their fate) she is 1 of 4 that I know will highly likely be picked for MUO and shockers for the fans that judge solely based on Instagram. She is a total package and that fact that all she needs is hair and makeup is a directors DREAM! She doesn't have to be taught anything else. Gabriellas resume is at a level I have never seen on top of the hardship she has faced which is also why her interview is remarkable. She is just EXTREMELY humble. Like to the point where her directors have to urge her to share more which I think you will see leading up to USA and of course on the telecast. And for the record, the four that have the IT factor, resume, charisma, beauty, and not just online persona ( which is a majority of these women, unfortunately ) are Wisconsin ( Gabriella ), Illinois ( Olivia), Pennsylvania ( Victoria), and Tennessee( Justice )

Alayah was a contestant on The Bachelor this season and you can really really tell why she didn't make the top fifteen. The girl has the fakest personality I've ever seen and she did not get along with anyone. Just because one beautiful girl didn't make it does not mean beauty doesn't count, it's just personality counts more. Remember Mariam Habach?

I literally only put her in fourth because of education and working experience. Wisconsin is an on-air television journalist (she is the only one with broadcast connection in her class and one of few with a full time operating position; this holds more weight than you think) after changing her career from being a former chemist ( IMG loves that and will not look past it - shes left and right-brained; so can play the part of women doing both and inspire women to chase their dreams and doing the unthinkable ), Illinois is majoring in a STEM field and has the backing of her current educational program ( They will not look past that because she is in a prime to speak in schools from elementary to high school which is what IMG likes; Miss USA is not a runway model), and Penn ( she owns her own store so that is a direct link to being a #girlboss and touches their entrepreneurship branding. She is the modern woman). Tennesee, unfortunately, works for her parents I believe and did not go to college so it leaves her at a disadvantage with women who have earned their keep, per se.
The reason why I leave out Idaho is because of charisma. There isn't much. I think she is beautiful and has a great educational background but there is no story of triumph and all the three women I mentioned above have that which gives them an IT factor. They have surpassed their circumstances and that is not something you can create in 5 months. That's just life experience.

Would you be willing to post your top 15? I understand if you can't due to your job but I'm dying to see it if you wanna
