| RJ Gator's Finals bring women out in force |
Posted May 31
JUPITER - The women definitely dominated the Local Finals at RJ Gator's Bar and
Grill in South Florida May 31, outnumbering male contestants at least 3-to-1. The
talent reflected by the women in the country and contemporary categories made for
some tough decisions for Talent Quest Florida judges.
The men's categories, meanwhile, also showed some promise, but there were not
nearly as many contestants.
"For this being our first year in Jupiter Florida, we're happy with the contest," said
Phil Garris, co-owner of Talent Quest Florida. "There's always a learning curve, and
now contestants in South Florida have a taste of what we're all about. I think they'll
bring their A-game to Tampa in August."
While women dominated the pop and country categories, no 50-and-over female
contestants showed for the local finals, which was surprising. That doesn't mean RJ
Gator's won't be well-represented at The RItz Ybor later this summer, however. A
running list of all contestants now qualified for the Regionals are on our Winners
page.
"We're excited to bring a new area of Florida into the Talent Quest fold," Garris said.
"I still think the talent this year is going to be incredible."
While RJ Gator's locals are now closed, more are still operating and accepting
contestants. Visit our Venue page for more information.
