Observer Kenneth Jackson, of Atlanta, waited for the show to begin.

Who are you here to see tonight?
'My cousin, Calisto [Harvalias], is competing.'

What are you most excited to see?
'How they look in person as opposed to on the Web site. Photoshop can do wonders.'

Do you think Calisto has a shot at winning?
"He's definitely a strong contender and should win."
