Miss America 2015 - The Contestants

Miss America 2015 will be crowned this Sunday evening in a televised event on ABC, live from Atlantic City.  The hosts are Chris Harrison, host of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette and Lara Spencer, co-anchor for Good Morning America.

Here are the contestants vying for the coveted crown:

Who is my favorite to take the crown?  She's Maggie Bridges, Miss Georgia!  This girl is stunning and talented.  The 21-year old is majoring in Business Administration at Georgia Tech, has plans to go to pharmacy school, and one day hopes to open her own pharmacy.

Miss Georgia has not won the title of Miss America since 1953...I think Maggie has a fabulous chance of bringing the crown back to Georgia!

Maggie is featured on the cover of South magazine's August/September issue...truly a cover girl!

The Miss America parade, now called the "Show Us Your Shoes' Parade" will take place on Saturday in Atlantic City and is a traditional favorite for spectators.  Maggie got a bit of help from her fellow students at Georgia Tech with the design of her shoes...they will be the world's first partially printed 3D shoes ever worn by a contestant in the parade.  The shoes are based on the Georgia Tech mascot, 'Rambling Wreck'.

All my other favorites are Southern girls!  

Miss Alabama, Caitlin Brunell



Miss Arkansas, Ashton Jo Campbell

Miss Kentucky, Ramsey Carpenter



Miss Mississippi, Jasmine Murray



Miss Tennessee, Hayley Lewis


I love this Miss America Scoring Sheet and will be using it on Sunday!

I cannot wait to sit down with my popcorn and watch the pageant.  Good luck to all the girls competing!
