"Countdown to the Crown" Stats - Episode Four

For once the teams got equal air time during the group challenges as they presented a talent showcase. Only a few women were featured during their make-overs; I didn’t keep track of them, but remember District of Columbia and Kansas.

As predicted, the green team won the group challenge and all received sashes, then the consultants, Kim and Anthony each gave two more wildcards, which basically worked as gold sashes.

The “finalists” were the first three sash winners: Indiana, Georgia and South Dakota; the remaining green team members: Delaware, Florida, Virgin Islands, Ohio, Texas, Hawaii, Idaho, Wisconsin; Kim’s wildcards: California and Iowa; Anthony's picks: Alabama and Kansas. These are the fifteen women from whom America will vote four into the Top 15 at Miss America.
