Diogo Montenegro was crowned champion in Columbus last year after Erin Banks missed out on the show. Banks returned to action after winning the 2022 competition and planned to win back his title.
Montenegro and Banks headlined the first callout, along with Emmanuel Costa and Ali Bilal. When comparisons began, it was Bilal who spent time next to Montenegro in the center of the stage. This same group of four was brought back out for a second time during the third callout. Montenegro stood between Banks and Bilal for a quick look from the judges.
