Before you watch the pageant, you must see the special edition of "20/20," Pageant Confidential: The Road to Miss America. It airs right before the pageant on Saturday evening at 8:00 p.m. {ET} on ABC.
The program will take a look at what it takes to become Miss America and will be anchored by Good Morning America anchor and former Miss America Judge Lara Spencer. For 6 months, ABC's cameras captured candid moments of the journeys of several of the young women determined to don the coveted crown--as they are transformed from state beauty queens to the polished Miss America contenders seen on stage.
YOU have the opportunity to vote for a finalist at the Miss America competition. On the Miss America site, there are videos for all of the 53 contestants. I have chosen some favorites and placed my vote for my #1 favorite. The voting will close Thursday, January 10th at 11:59 p.m. {PST}.
Here are my top five favorites going into the pageant:
Miss Colorado
Miss South Carolina
Miss Maryland
Miss Idaho
Miss Oklahoma

Lovely ladies. I must remember to set my DVR.
Miss Colorado for the win! I'll be watching! :)
Aren't they all just beautiful? I was reading today that Miss DC will be having a double mastectomy after the pageant for preventive measures. Her mother, grandmother and great-aunt died of breast cancer. I will be watching too.
Since it is Miss America and they don't necessarily care about the outer beauty as much as they do the complete package, I have to say that I feel like Miss Alaska is a dark horse. I could be wrong, but there is just something about her. Lori, I love Miss DC but I am wondering how the judges will look at roller skating as a talent. I personally can't wait to see her talent.
