MISS USA 2023 (Top 20) Prediction!

Miss USA 2023 contestants have arrived in Reno, Nevada!! After reviewing each contestant’s bio, social media, and taking into consideration performances I’ve seen as well as past pageant experience, I narrowed things down to a pre-preliminary top 20. Things always change after a preliminary competition, but I feel these contestants should perform well and have potential to move on to the semi finals at Miss USA 2023. Some of the ladies did surprise me when I looked into their bios. Was there any Miss USA 2023 contestant that surprised you? Do you have a favorite for who will represent the US at Miss Universe 2023? Which queen should be crowned?

[@lawrencejones622]

I would love to see you do an R'Bonney effect video for Miss USA, and Miss Universe. What winning strategies could the Miss USA class learn from R'Bonney to win both big competitions?

[@antoniocapaso8230]

Y’all are sleeping on West Virginia.

[@matthewy2968]

I see everyone sleeping on Miss Washington, she’s amazing and her social media game is on point!

[@kenya_bravo]

What are her socials?

[@autumncarlson2588]

I 100% agree! She’s not only gorgeous but her social media game is on point. Not only that but have you seen her fashion style? I honestly adored her departure video and outfit. But she’s also a female dentist! I have been working as a dental assistant for quite some time now and I will say it is rather rare to come across a female dentist and I am proud of her for that.

[@user-jb8wx2ei6l]

Right she’s killing it. I love how tall she is also and her style has been on point

[@user-jb8wx2ei6l]

[@brittanysleeper3747]

Yes love miss Washington too!

[@bmillz007]

PA, WI, VA, TX, DC, HI, SC, RI, UT, FL, OR, WA, etc etc I cannot choose!

[@dariaramolino7426]

My favourite pageant commentator ,the one that takes us one step beyond the screen letting us know of how one complete pageant concept from scratch to the final product looks like and it is made .Dani, seriously, they should include you in the panel of judges like EVERY year in at least 10 different state competitions. My faves after I carefully watched the video :DC ,Oregon , SC, Utah,Texas,Georgia,NC and Hawaii.This year the bar is so high and all of them are amazing .Still one has to win ,I am rooting for my venezuelan compatriot Noelia ,Miss Utah ,plus if she is already taking classes with Gisselle Reyes I wont be surprised if she turns to the one and only Zar de la belleza Mr Osmel Sousa for some valuable tips also :)Good luck to all of them ,let the BEST win ,whoever she is USA will get another great result and why not maybe even the second back to back win in the history .Greets from a venezuelan in Spain ,huge fan of both Miss USA and Miss Universe

[@DaniWalker]

[@squishybear5728]

God Bless Miss Texas. I was my mother’s caregiver for many years. It’s is beyond difficult and I did it all alone. My health went in the tank. But at the end of the day she was mother and I felt I had to take care of her until she passed in 2022

[@martinquijada4125]

Miss UTAH - Miss USA 2023

[@denisehitchens1418]

Utah....I was amazed when saw her. Nebraska is another. Rare state winners of usa

[@AgentAO7]

I totally agree with you. Both ladies are on my list especially after the prelims..

[@neilbruce123]

I could see Nebraska pulling it!

[@ChristinaChristina2010]

Texas Texas Texas! I do love Utah, NC, Nebraska, DC, SC, Maine, and Mississippi and Maryland. I will know more once I hear them speak. I hope they have some fun question and answers soon so we can get to know them more!!!! That will seal the deal for me. 😊

[@DaniWalker]

Same here, I need to hear more of them speak.

[@herminiofigueroa9527]

I like Hawaii, Pennsylvania and Utah.

[@Carolesoriginalpieces]

Thanks for another great informative video! I’m glad I don’t have to judge the upcoming Miss USA. There are so many outstanding candidates. I agree with your top five! It’s going to be a great pageant to watch!

[@zoemcgrady]

Yesss thank you for actually sharing bios 👏🏽 so excited to see everyone compete next week 🤩

[@DaniWalker]

You're so welcome!

[@jongerry2579]

As a 40 year pageant fan/enthusiast this year is a bit different but hopefully with new ownership it will improve. A few of my favorites are: Utah, Nevada, Wisconsin, N.Carolina, and D.C. Wishing all 51 contestants the very best!❤

[@osny6725]

Utah, Texas, DC, Hawaii and NewYork.

[@pinaypie4]

Im so Glad you mention Miss NORTH CAROLINA , her smile and energy on stage is Radiating ... her swimsuit competition as soon as she comes out , my jaw just drop Her smile is her asset .

[@lerinconv]

If UTAH wins Miss USA I need PLEASE that she and Miss Venezuela be roommates at Miss Universe +.+

[@colourqueen22]

Getting closer to your dream

[@alloallie]

Hey, Dani. Very competitive this year. I think my favourites are Utah, DC, NC, Nebraska, SC, Virginia, NY, and Wisconsin. Rhode Island will surprise us too, I think.

[@Juliechuhawaii]

I loved this so much Dani! I feel like I learned so much about the girls! Can’t wait to watch them all compete!!❤

[@DaniWalker]

I'm so glad! I learned a lot too!

[@keahiyama6460]

Hawaii, Nevada, DC, New York, Wisconsin

[@AgentAO7]

North Carolina, Florida, California, Washington, Nebraska, Utah stood out to me during Prelims.. I think this year is another transitional year for the organization. I have high hopes with Laylah Rose though..

[@JorgeDiaz-boy]

I don't know much of this year's contestants, but loved DC's look. And based on your comments I definitely feel Hawaii and Utah will get far this year. We shall see!❤

[@DaniWalker]

The ladies are incredible

[@aubreybarnes1403]

I learn so much from these videos! I love how picky Dani is, it really helps me understand what judges are thinking

[@DaniWalker]

Thank you so much! Many of the things I share are never articulated by judges after a pageant, so contestants don't know what they can do to improve. I'm glad I can share these insights.

[@user-zr6qw1uk8e]

I Love New York USA She is so beautiful Love from Thailand ❤

[@asifyassin835]

Miss Utah is slaying !!!!

[@irvingbagley5445]

I am glad to see New York finally in the mix. New York has not won in a long time. I also love Texas, DC, Nevada, Virginia, Utah and Hawaii. Texas was such a power house back in the 1980’s. They won 5 years in a row. In 1986 Christie Fichtner won Miss USA and Halle Berry was 1st runner up. Maybe Texas will be the powerhouse again winning back to back titles. It’s going to be exciting to see who will be in the top 5. Dani you are always on the mark. Good luck to all the contestants. ❤❤❤🎉😊

[@misssunshine537]

Hi Dani. I love your videos. The effort you put into your content is commendable❤

[@DaniWalker]

Glad you enjoy them, I appreciate that!

[@confidentlychar80]

Top 20- Oregon, Wisconsin, New York, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, North Dakota, California, Colorado, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Texas, Vermont, Utah. Miss USA will be one of these women.

[@hannahmayher8116]

Thank you for talking about Miss Missouri!!!

[@user-km3yg1bo2b]

Just love watching you-- definitely knowledgeable and articulate! I have 9 favorites right now, I have four for my top 5. I like NY, NEB, DC, UT in the Top 5. I'm watching NC, CA, MD, PN, TX, and HA. Is it true that interview makes up 50% of their score. If so, watch out for ND to slip into the Top 10.

[@davidmartinborough8642]

Utah looks like the one who is most ready to compete at Miss Universe. I think you may have missed Idaho’s profile. She’s interesting.

[@DaniWalker]

Totally agree 💕 feels like hers to lose.

[@noirnurse60]

GO MARYLAND! We love her!

[@HeatherBrenee]

Hi, Dani! Great video, as always! Do you have any idea how we can watch prelims? Will it be on KZbin or The CW? Just curious if you know. Thanks 🫶

[@mentorshipprogram777]

I love your top 20! Your top 20 have 17 of my top 20 favorites 😊. You help me a lot to know more about them young ladies. I agree that Miss Utah USA 2023, looks ready to compete at the Miss Universe competition. My top pick-up to now is Miss Florida USA 2023. North Dakota, Alabama, New Jersey, Oregon I like them as well.

[@Kalavatinails]

My bets are on my friend New Mexico other personal favorites are South Carolina, Oregon, Michigan, and Pennsylvania

[@kevinwilliamsx3]

Man! These ladies are amazing hoping to see more of their personalities in Miss USA

[@cw7147]

OMGoodness the photo New York used is PERFECTION!

[@neilbruce123]

They may pick a blonde to stand out in El SALVADOR! But my vote is NC. Thanks for mentioning her.

[@DaniWalker]

She’s stunning 😍

[@staffordentendencia2422]

Hawaii for sure. Luvs your perspectives and of course your beautiful too.

[@ML-xh6rd]

Great summary of some of the top prospects for the Miss USA crown this year. As the average age of contestants goes up so does it seems that their endeavors and accomplishments increase. It takes so much more than beauty to win a crown these days and these women truly represent that. Will be interesting to see who stands out leading up to the competition and at prelims.

[@DaniWalker]

Right?? It’s get me more and more difficult

[@hope.gomezgya]

Maryland might be the one this year, she definitely has one or two things to tweak but she is doing so well so far!

[@spoyledbratt]

Washington is gorgeous and is a doctor

[@stephenmocanu408]

DC is now looking like our STRONGEST chance for Miss Universe

[@apolloapollofressle910]

Hawaii I just have a feeling she will win the USA crown favorites top 5 Utah, New York ,Nevada , District of Columbia Virginia Pageantporsche ❤️ luv from Maui

[@DaniWalker]

I love her 💕

[@robingifford2393]

Thanks for the thorough breakdown!

[@davidcartledge5766]

So glad to see you chose South Carolina, Kirby Self, in your top 20! As a former 1st runner up at Miss Teen USA (& from my hometown of Greenwood) she has a bright future! She should have made the top 5, however, from the actual top 20, I actually chose her, Miss South Carolina, UTAH AS THE OBVIOUS WINNER, Texas, Hawaii and Virginia. However, I have a hard time choosing only 5 and I also gave possible top 5 status to Nevada, North Carolina and Maryland. To make one thing clear, I chose Utah as the CLEAR OUTRIGHT WINNER from the top 20! Totally deserved!

[@kellyt2018]

Mimi Wood Nebraska! Beautiful!

Im rooting for Hawaii. She's such a boss and a superstar

Noelia is my fave, and texas

[@roseerocha5599]

miss North Dakota is so outstanding! The camera always love Monni She's a real contender so keep an eye on her 👑

[@frederickseltzerjr2170]

Granted, I'm partial to my home state of Maryland and LOVE that Miss Maryland USA 2023 competed at an event that we both LOVE (Miss Supranational) for Zambia. Hopefully she will do what Nana almost did back in 2012, but happily accepted the Miss USA title after the beautiful Olivia Culpo became Miss Universe 2012. I will say when you revealed what Miss Texas USA 2023 has been through just within the past 9-10 months, losing her mother, you made me tear up and I will say, I'm now rooting for her and I think it would be awesome to see back to back Miss USAs from Texas who are multi-ethnic (R'bonney is stunning) and if the same gown designer will be showcased at Miss USA, I think not only will it be back to back wins for Texas since the 1985-1989 amazing run, but we may have the second back to back Miss Universes!!! Do you know when the premlims will be aired? I can't find any info on that. I know finals are next Friday night! Can't wait

[@missologoteen2193]

Hi! Everything is possible darling In the USA there is a lot of material to get the 10th Miss Universe I understand that the preliminaries will be next Thursday September 28 Love from Mexico to the state of Maryland ❤😊

[@brave9801]

Why should she not join Zambia Miss Universe?

[@jeffzest8393]

Miss USA does not even have the contestants on its web site!! And sparsity of info if and how to stream preliminary competition and costume show. Further, conflicting information on time of broadcast. Appears tape delayed to Pacific Time Zone.

[@DaniWalker]

The contestants are under the people choice tab

[@Roma-SRyan]

Rooting for Texas, also it wouldnt hurt to send a Latina to Ecuador. You know the Latin Queens are don't mess around on their home turf. Utah too

[@astoldbychrisv9464]

What happened to the Miss USA app? Did they abandon using it? Thank you for this video, Dani!

[@DaniWalker]

You're very welcome. I have no clue but we should really revamp that and have a crown series similar to South Africa.

[@astoldbychrisv9464]

​@DaniWalker Yes, I agree! A crown series would absolutely do wonders for Miss USA (if done right) because it would help pageant fans truly understand how and why certain contestants make the final cut. Also, Miss USA has a consistent number of competitors yearly, so it would be interesting to see them all go head-to-head on challenges. It would give some level of transparency that would put everyone at ease.

Hi Dani. Can you do a review of MU Cambodia final coronation. They have transgender contestant that is made into 1st runner up. The winner and her gave very strong response.

[@ApprenPlayer]

Apparently, Alexis isn't the youngest in the 2023 class. However, Sarah (Miss Minnesota) is the youngest at the age of 20, she turned 20 in June on her first year of Miss eligibility and was placed a runner-up in Teen last year.

[@DaniWalker]

I commented that earlier as well 🙈 I coached Sarah and forgot her age.

[@debbierice6023]

Minnesota is so fresh faced and is a natural BEAUTY!!
