The Miss US International 2019 finals are set to take place tomorrow (Friday, June 28, 2019) at Celebration High School in Celebration, Florida at 6 pm ET/5 pm CT live on Facebook. The Miss US International 2019 finals will not only crown the USA representative for the 2019 Miss International Beauty Pageant, but will crown Miss Landscapes USA 2019. The winner of Miss Landscapes USA will go on and represent the USA at Miss Landscapes International. The reigning Miss Landscapes International is Treisy Cuevas-Torres from the United States which means the next Miss Landscapes USA will have a shot to get a back-to-back win for the USA at this pageant.
Bonnie Walls, the reigning Miss US International, wrote on Instagram that this is going to be a tight competition and it indeed will be a tight competition. It was difficult for me to narrow down my Top 15 because there are more girls that deserve a place in the semi-finals than there are spots available. With that being said, I am only able to judge the girls based on their social media and the preliminary competition that was held earlier today. Like always, viewers and fans are not allowed inside of the interviews and the interview portion carries a lot of the weight on whether a contestant will make it into the semis or not. After all of that, here is my Miss US International 2019 Predictions.

Top 6*: The winner of the People’s Choice award automatically gets a spot in the final selection
People’s Choice: Palmetto State* – I am guessing either Palmetto State or Great Lakes will get the People’s Choice award because Taylor Freeman (Palmetto) has quite a following on Instagram and Maritsa Gutierrez (Great Lakes) has the most likes on Facebook when you look at all the contestant headshots.
