You are exagerating with Illinois đč sheâs pretty but your doing too much even asya is prettier
Your favorites in evening gown and swimsuit just happened to be the exact top 8?!
miss usa act like high school student. not the real queen. ALWAYS like that !!!
I know I'm late to the party, but I too really liked the new format. And they accomplished the "get to know" the contestants in a lot more normal and natural format than the video packages ever could. I kind of hope Miss America takes note! And yes, the announcement of the runners up and the winner was WAY too rushed. That has to be fixed for next year!
Overall I loved the show. I loved the female host but the guy host was terrible. He shouldn't have been there. I didn't like the way they did the placements, bring back the traditional placement announcements. I totally agreed with Kentucky, North Dakota and Florida in that order. North Dakota was my personal favourite but Elle really deserved the win after her final answer. Poor North Dakota always the bridesmaid. Loved the gowns this year. All in all Crystal Steward did a fantastic job.
Iâm quite surprised NEVADA didnât place at all. It was almost like they used her for publicity
You are doing an incredible job continuing to promote pageantry, young women, & personal growth and self-confidence for ALL who want to do so via your video presentations.

Thank -You!
As this is the 70th anniversary, I wish that the former title holders who were on stage were introduced by name, year and state.
This was a good show and the winner is amazing. I could see her winning Miss Universe
My major critique was Jarule as our musical guest. I understand in this scenario with Crystle being new it could be a âwho you knowâ situation, but Jarule singing about âbending her overâ and âhaving her in the back of a Yukonâ was NNNOOTTT the vibe I feel these gorgeous accomplished women deserve in evening gown!!
AGREED!! I really disliked how they handled the crowning! The first runner up and 4th runner up had the same experience, there should be building suspense! For us it was like âshoot okay what 5 are left? Okay so they all either won or got nothing??â Super strange! I think Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina and Texas actually handled the round table discussion and questions the best. They shared the most personal examples that allowed us to get to know them so I was SHOOK with the final placements (other than Kentucky of course!) But I have to remind myself that itâs cumulative and the final decision isnât based on the answers alone.
Loved watching this episode! You seemed like you were having sooo much fun recapping.
24:17 — I agree. They played the 2015 MU prelim evening gown instrumental music during the final question round and that truly sounds relaxing both to the audience and, more importantly, the candidates.
Agree with so much of what you said. However, I really really disliked the Black Leotards as the first presentation of the ladies to the audience. I found it jarring and overall a cheap cop-out. I too, loved the Host but would of preferred a more polished co-host. Why Not YOU Dani?? Youâre so well spoken, experienced and gorgeously camera ready!!! JMHOâŠ.lastly leaving 4 Contestants standing there is just plain weird! Reduce the number from 8 to 4 or 5 depending on how you count USA, 1st and so on. I think Ms Stewart has a lot of work to do and I applaud her. As for the former Miss USAâs, they shouldâve been introduced. To have them standing there on stage not knowing who was who was sad. I recognized SIX of them. Elle IS gorgeous and I was routing for her, North Dakota, Texas, Illinois and Florida. Florida reminded me of Miss Venezuela and South Africa of a couple of years ago. But when Elle wins a Miss Universe, North Dakota will take over!!
LOVE your Channel Dani â€ïž
Dani Walker, the manner in which you articulate and explain pageantry, I believe if it was a required course or an elective taught in college, and you being the teacher. 4.0 is eminent. Clearly you have a deep passion this field, are we seen a school in the future?
Im just wondering why the coronation night was nov,30.the miss universe is starting now.
i miss the old soundtrack!! like the one used for miss usa 2019 crowning
The last 5 minutes was everything. I saw that producer magic at american idol where i watched the lady cut the camera guy off then dramatically act out how she wanted the girl to answer… As for budget , Kansas had no problemsđ girl friend had LED lights in her costume hand painted by a professional designer and a gown from the same collection as miss peru 2020.

You look just like Meghan Markle omg!
I had so many thoughts watching! I agree with almost everything you said! I do hope in this era, they will bring the pageant back to either being televised or just streamed through something more accessible! I really didn't like crowning. It was RUSHED and I like when they do a traditional top 5! Also you could see the pageant joy radiating off you in this video and it was contagious! đ I did miss getting to know the contestants. I obviously had done my research but for my fiance watching with me, I know he would have appreciated the bios. I don't miss video packages! Get rid of those!!! I commented on a past video how one of the years in the past, they each had a day on snapchat to take us around and we got to know them. I reallllllly liked that and hope they use social media to their advantage in this era as well! Lastly, I totally agree with someone below that said have them do state costume in the opening to the show. YES YES YES!
Kentuckyâs answer is Karen Ibascoâs answer of Miss Earth đ€Ł
When I met Crystle Stewart in person years ago, I thought she was an absolute powerhouse of a human being and wished more people would have a chance to know her. This production was all about Crystle in so many ways, and Elle is an IDEAL representative for Crystle's first winner – brilliant, beautiful, poised and present. She has Crystle's values in so many ways. So regardless of everything else that happened, the final result was perfection. And I happened to like a lot of everything else that happened. I did love seeing national costumes online and believe they could have enhanced the live production. I loved the interviews. I LOVED Zuri Hall – wow. Did not enjoy the music at all. That can change. Dani's reviews here are excellent though more could have been said about those who didn't make top 8. I thought Utah was excellent. I did not feel the same way about Kansas or South Dakota. Maryland seemed too 'aggressive' with her Girl Scouts reference and I agree that bringing it up a second time was a mistake. Texas was not credible talking about kindergarden and 1st grade as an effective, ideal in-school program. NC and IL summary comments were spot on. ND was outstanding. I was worried FL would win because I don't think she was ready for interview the way KY was. In fact, by the end, it wasn't close. But sometimes, the judges are the last to see that, even when the rest of the entire world does. So Crystle, again, selected the right judges to come up with the winner that the public saw.
I liked how Miss Kentucky started off her final answer with strong words like macro and micro, but then at the end I thought âso how do you suggest businesses to be environmentally conscious?â Because when you think of her answer it was just another âwe can make changes in our daily livesâ while itâs absolutely true, weâre past that point and need stronger ways to make a change.
I agreeee with the video package…. cause watching the Miss USA 2016, the video package for Miss New Jersey would have influenced me to judge her to win….
Hi Dani, how exciting you got to sit by Elle's dad!!! What a moment when she was announced!! What I liked: I thought the women were strong and I agreed with most of the outcomes. Kentucky and North Dakota deserved the top 2 spots, in my opinion. After Elle's macro/micro answer, it was over (she had won). I thought that South Carolina has a Miss Universe face, as well; she definitely relished the moments and had fun on stage soaking up the experience, but in the end perhaps more formal answers would've projected her higher in the placement. Louisiana has ties to the Chocktaw and Chappepeela tribes and not hearing her speak was a missed opportunity especially given the site location and some of the experiences the contestants had pertaining to indigenous people (I'm from Louisiana tho, so I'm biased in favor of Miss Louisiana(s). I do love that Asya had lots of camera time (she is so beautiful and she also had a great presence engaging with others). What I did not enjoy: The lighting was not flattering; The camera views were varied which I enjoyed but I wanted 2-3 seconds squarely on the face of each of top 16 (um, can we see what the contestants actually look like?) I thought the host was better suited for teen (too informal for me); I didn't enjoy Jah Rule (either time on stage)(perhaps I'm just old LOL); and I'm with you – announce the top 2 and let them face each other – in this case those two women are class acts and I would've appreciated their opportunity to share that lifetime moment. I could've appreciated a 5th place being awarded as well, they've worked that hard as it is. I do like awarding a Miss Congeniality too – our nation has forgotten how to be nice to each other. Regarding the top 16, they chose several women that look so much alike (the blonde hair, the same styling) that it made it difficult to have that standout moment (like SC's smile) and ultimately, I wonder if that's why there was only 1 in the top 8. But hey, at least there were blondes this time (it's been a very brunette affair in recent years except when Nebraska won). I appreciate your insights, Dani, and I love your channel. My perspectives go back to 1975 as a little boy when I cried when Summer Bartholomew (Miss USA) didn't win Universe LOLOL. We all cheer for Elle to have a safe (and winning) experience in Israel!!
They only ones I felt that deserved the crown were Texas, Kentucky, and Maryland. These were the only three who felt ready for the competition coming up in two weeks.
However, I think Maryland wouldâve been the best candidate.
Kentucky gives me Kara McCullough vibes and I think sheâll place just like how Kara did (Top 10). Good enough to advance to evening gown, but not good enough to break into that Top 5/6 USA has been struggling to achieve lately.
Meanwhile, Marylandâs walk has a lot of movement and spice. It can come off as over-performing at times but itâs generally fun to watch. Plus, sheâs an excellent speaker too. She wouldâve been USAâs best shot at entering the final round :/
I agree on the contestant bios and video packages. Those were not a part of the NBC/Trump era when I completed and not only do the âframeâ contestants, it dragged out the top 16 announcements and took away from the actual competition. I felt like this was one of the best judged Miss USAs in a long time with that omission.
