Miss USA 2019 is finally here! You can watch Miss USA 2019 live tomorrow (May 2, 2019) on FOX at 8 pm ET/ 7 pm CT.
I think everyone is having a bit of a difficult time trying to figure out who is going to be in the top 15 at this year’s Miss USA because there are so many girls likely to make it to this phase of the competition. I think it is truly going to come down to the interview portion of the competition which we unfortunately do not get to see. The interview makes up a huge portion of the scores because pageants are no longer just about beauty, but about the brains of the contestants and how well they can articulate their thoughts. We, the viewers and fans, can only go off of what we have seen from previous interviews and videos when trying to consider how well the contestants may have done in the interview portion; however, interviews with reporters and taking to a camera is different from talking to the people who could change your life.
With all of that being said, I could not narrow it down to a top 15, so here is my Miss USA 2019 top 16 predictions.

I usually do not do wildcards picks, but this year is so competitive that these girls may be able to slip into the top 15.
