Something for the new organization to think about because these times are different and more people are following the pageant than before, a lot of people that were "retired" are back on this too, it's a much bigger event than before, they can't do things like Desirée used to, maybe even a bigger venue is needed, or control the tickets better.

They definitely need better handle on the logistics of the prelims

About half the seats were reserved, all seats were at the same eye level so mayority of people couldnt see properly unless you stood up and still had to fight so people wouldnt get in the way. And since the catwalk was at normal level my area couldnt even see it.

That's solved with a better stage, they gotta think about those things, and show it LIVE on the internet at least, it's unfortunate to have to wait until sunday to get a better look of the preliminary. They don't seem to understand the amount of followers the pageant has now.

Yes. They are dreadful

1. So...is it a Top 15 or a Top 16? Cause now I am confused.
2. San Sebastian will be higher on my list. She shined in both swimwear and evening wear (I had her at 16th)
3. The rumors are sadly true about Bayamon copying Catriona's walk. Will that ruin her chances of placing in the Top 15/16? IDK
4. I was able to confirm some of my doubts with the girls that were in my maybe list (Trujillo Alto, Gurabo, and Hatillo will not be on my final Top 16. I am especially disappointed in Gurabo. The girl has the entire package, but her evening wear and her walk were horrible)
5. I am still on the fence about Aguadilla, but I'm most likely not going to put her on my list.
6. My mom's favorites are Loiza and San Sebastian (though she thought that Loiza bombed during evening gown cause she didn't like the gown or hairstyle) She also liked Peñuelas in evening gown
7. Also my mom thinks that Loiza or San Sebastian will probably win because they fit the mold that the organization is looking for, in that they love WOC and girls with outstanding achievements (aka a Cheslie)
8. Madison is...Madison. Pure perfection
9. My other standouts are Arecibo and Villalba.
10. Not gonna lie...Carolina kinda disappointed me. She didn't stand out in the prelims. But she'll still make it to the Top 15/16
That's all I can think of right now. I just need confirmation if it's a Top 15 or a Top 16, and then I can update my list. I wanna know your opinions.
