Weekend Wrap Up July 3, 2016

 

HELLO JUNKIE NATION!!!

THANK GOD IT’S NEARLY OVER!!! LOL!

What started on April 23rd is nearly complete… We’ve now crowned 51 out of 52 state contestants for Miss America 2017 – leaving only the state of Arkansas left to name their winner next weekend!

And after the last two weekends of watching/keeping up with 15 & 13 state pageants at time, I gotta admit, last night was a breeze to follow and report on social media… I almost wondered if someone slipped me half a Xanax in my favorite 4th of July weekend beverage! Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezey… 😉

However – Before we get to the 7 state pageants from last night – we need to congratulate a couple of winners from last weekend… On Sunday afternoon, we crowned a new Miss West Virigina and a new Miss Puerto Rico!  Here are the results!

For the record – I didn’t make any predictions for Miss Puerto Rico. I couldn’t tell if there were 4 or 5 contestants – and I could only discover 2 names – So we just decided to punt. And I have no clue who the runners up were. Congrats to Carole – and I won’t count PR in my overall totals either way. 🙂

AND NOW –
Let’s talk about our amazing winners
from last night!!!

A couple of quick notes on the night…

  • This now makes SIXTEEN former Outstanding Teen state winners who are headed to Miss America! AZ, DE, FL, IN, KY, LA, ME, MS, NV, NH, NJ, NY, NC, SC, WV, CA, By far the largest amount of OT’s we’ve ever had!
  • So – I’ll admit… There was a point last night where I thought I was gonna miss 3 or even 4 states out of this group. NOT A GOOD FEELING TO HAVE… Especially when several ladies were my ‘6th pick’ (*cough*cough* – Caroline & Alicia). Nice work ladies – You guys totally proved me wrong! 🙂
  • Just a reminder – The crazy part of my picks is that I make them BEFORE the prelims even begin! Trust me – LOTS of times my picks would change if I waited until after prelims are over… But that’s not the rules I set up for myself.

Now – How did Junkies do regarding our predictions for these 7 states?  Let’s take a peek!

WEST VIRGINIA – 3/5
picked Morgan Breeden, June Braunlich, Katie Rose

KENTUCKY – 3/5
picked Laura Jones, Talia Horn, Annie Franklin

MASSACHUSETTS – 3/5
picked Alissa Musto, Jillian Zucco, Alyssa Weathersby

FLORIDA – 3/5
picked Courtney Sexton, Victoria Humphrey, Taylor Tyson

TEXAS – 2/5
picked Morgana Wood, Madison Fuller,

CALIFORNIA – 2/5
picked Jessa Carmack, Izamar Olaguez

WASHINGTON – 1/5
picked Taryn Smith

OREGON – 3/5
picked Alexis Mather, Jennifer Albertson, Audri Rousseau

That means we go 6/8 with this group and 20/40 overall. For those of you who haven’t been following along all state pageant season, let’s add in our previous predictions results and see where we currently stand:

40/50 = 80%
(Identifying Winners)

129/244 = 53% 
(Identifying Top 5)

WHEW! Now that’s A LOT of pageants – But it’s not over yet!!!

State Pageants 2017

As I mentioned earlier, Miss Arkansas will be crowned NEXT weekend, giving us our 52 contestants for the title of Miss America 2017!!! WHO WILL SHE BE??? I’m chomping at the bit already!!!

Couple of quick notes before we close this post –

First – there’s A LOT that’s about to happen between next weekend and Miss America… Including MISS AMERICA’S OUTSTANDING TEEN!!! And once again, Junkies are headed to Orlando to see MAOTeen in person – And YES – We will be making predictions for MAOTeen!!!

254370

And of course, we’ll also be making our predictions for #MissAmerica come September! Believe it or not, there’s not much time between either of these events! It’s only 5 weeks until we crown Miss America’s Outstanding Teen – and 10 weeks until we crown MISS AMERICA 2017!!!

If you missed some of the craziness of state pageant season (or you just want to relive it all over again) – just click here to be connected to ALL the state results thus far…

Until then – We’ll be watching our state winners closely, in hopes of getting to know them a bit better between now and Atlantic City! OH! This means you also have one more chance to repeat our predictions mantra to yourself – or to random strangers on the street – Your choice…

If we say your name, we hope you prove us right
And if we don’t say your name, we hope you prove us wrong!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND JUNKIES!!!
