Preliminary Wrap-up!

The past three nights of preliminary competition has been exciting, with no one becoming a double prelim winner.  Some of the choices came as a surprise to online commenters, but that will only make the Top 10 more interesting!

• Two of the six winner are first year contestants, Jenna Fowls and Alissa Brumbaugh.  
• All three Swimsuit winners were blond. 
• All three Talent winners were singers. 
• Jenna and Amber share a host home.
• Shannon and Cayla share a local E.D.
• Cayla won the Talent award over Shannon at their local.
• At their winning locals Heather Wells bested both Alissa and Meggie for the Swimsuit award; Amber won Swimsuit at her local.
• Awards were not given at Sweeps, where Jenna was crowned, but she did win a Talent award a few weeks prior at Miss Muskingum Valley.
• Flight Two's winners were first (Meggie in SS) and last (Jenna in Talent).
• Flight One and Three's winners were all near the middle of their competition groups.
• When asked their favorite phase, only two of the six answered with the competition for which they won preliminary awards! (Jenna and Cayla said Talent.)
