Susi and Shandi, however, admitted that they were confused with Catriona's answer during the Top 5 question regarding the legalization of marijuana use.

Susie shared, "It was confusing. I didn't love it. It was an okay answer.

"But I think when she is in the top 3, [she] completely redeemed herself after she answered that question and we're done," she added.

Shandi agreed on Susie's opinion and gave a recommendation.

"She could've really personalized that though. She actually contradicted herself. She said no on legalization but everything in moderation."

Despite Catriona's underwhelming Q&A, the pageant critics already knew that Catriona would earn the title when she did the Final Word and the Final Look.

Shandi gushed, "I don't really think I breathed the whole time she walked down the runway. She was just perfection."

"The way the slit went up her leg, the dress fit her perfectly, the ear crawler that came up, the way that she goes between laughter and then like sexy. And then, at the end of the runway, she [does] hair-pose. I was just captivated."
