After the talent competition the hosts Rob and Lorraine began the next event, the evening wear and interview.  Similar to the first event evening wear was worth 10 points and the interview was worth 15.  When this event was through there was an intermission, which lead to the introduction of the top four contestants.

 

            After the Intermission the top four male and female contestants were announced to the stage for their final interview question, which was again drawn by the contestant randomly from a hat.
