Hailey: Work it!
Hailey: Work it!
Ali: Oh, my word!
Hailey: That was fantastic.
Ali: Aren't you fabulous?
Hailey: Work it!
Announcer 1: From Injustice, we have Aquaman.
Ali: Aww...
Hailey: Nice! Nice Aquaman!
Ali: yay!
Andrés: That was so disappointed.
Ali: I was just hoping for another character, that's all. XD
Ali: They said Injustice, and I got excited.
Andrés: I wonder who...
Andrés: I wonder who!
Announcer 1: Coming to the stage, Dead Predator.
Ali: Be nice.
Hailey: Dead Predator? Aww, the wrong guy came out!
Announcer 2: You look awfully familiar...
Ali: Yeah!
Hailey: That's hilarious.
Judge: I was waiting for a Deadpool to do that, just waiting for it.
Announcer 1: Up next to the stage, I refuse to believe that this person exists anymore, Ben Solo.
Ali: Oh
Hailey: Wrong lightsaber!
Hailey: That's the wrong lightsaber.
Ali: He's still got skills, though.
Ali: Oh, oh, there he goes.
Judge: Fight! Fight!
Everyone: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Hailey: The red lightsaber!
Hailey: The red lightsaber in the background.
Ali: Yeah
Announcer 2: You may want to see a doctor for that.
Announcer 1: It flopped so hard! This thing is- it's (inaudible)
Hailey: I mean, it's a toy! It's a toy!
Audience member: I'll take it!
Announcer 1: That guy looked just like Adam Driver up close, by the way.
Ali: Yeah he does!
Announcer 1: He's probably so happy he doesn't have to cosplay girls anymore, he's like "Finally!"
Audience member: Oh my god!
Ali: Shame on you!
Andrés: BURN!
Ali: Shame!
Announcer 1: Okay, coming up next to the stage, Lady Vader.
Hailey: What?
Hailey: Oh, that group from earlier is doing it individually, too.
Ali: Yeah.
Hailey: Yeah!
Ali: That's why he came out with the wrong lightsaber, 'cause the red one went to Vader.
Announcer 1: And lastly, a man after my own heart, Kylo Ren!
Hailey: Alright, right lightsaber that time.
Hailey: It's a girl!
Ali: Oh!
Hailey: Kylo Ren's a woman!
Announcer 2: Bet you didn't see that coming!
Announcer 1: I guess not after my exact own heart, but pretty close.
Announcer 2: New Orleans, whatcha think?
Announcer 2: Of course, I wanna congratulate and thank ALL of the contestants for being a part of tonight's 
contest.
Announcer 2: And anybody who dressed up in the crowd as well, even if you weren't in the contest for some reason...
Announcer 2: ...it's great that you felt the need, the urge, the- the pleasure to be able to cosplay as well. That is great.
Announcer 2: So, Queen Amidala, or the guy that looks like Joey Lawrence in the front row, thank you so much.
Announcer 2: Cosplay helps make Comic Con go 'round.
Announcer 2: So, we're actually gonna leave our judges alone for a few moments here, so the three of them can try to decide the best of the best.
Announcer 2: New Orleans, sit tight, we're gonna be back in just a few moments. Thank you.
Announcer 1: (Are you ready to) hear your winners?
Announcer 1: Now don't forget that tonight, after the costume contest, starting at 10 PM, is the official Wizard World After Party at The Republic.
Announcer 1: If you show your wristband before 11:00, you get in for free.
Announcer 1: If you can't make it 'til after 11, still show your wristband, because you will get a reduced cover charge.
Announcer 1: So, once again, the official After Party; it's gonna be awesome. We have Civil War themed drinks.
Announcer 1: You can either choose Iron Man or Captain America. It's happening at The Republic starting at 10:00.
Announcer 1: And now, judges we're gonna go to you guys. If you would stop playing with my amazingly expensive lightsaber, please.
Announcer 1: We're gonna go to you guys for your Honorable Mentions.
Hailey: Please be McThor.
Judge: I can just yell really loud, guys. I'm super loud, anyway.
Judge: Alright, my honorable mention is somebody that, actually, this is his first costume...
Judge: ...and you guys who went to my panel know I'm obsessed with, like, tutorials and learning on the internet and YouTube University and stuff.
Judge: This guy watched an awesome show that I'm a part of, and created this costume all by himself.
Judge: He was really nervous to wear it. His name is Al. He was Amon from Legend of Korra.
Judge: Where are you, man?
Judge: Are you there?
Announcer 2: So, if all of our winners, Honorable Mentions all the way to the grand prize, if you could make your way up to the stage...
Announcer 2: ...We're gonna do one group photo here at the end of all of our announcements.
Announcer 2: So, we'd like to keep going.
Judge: I see you, Al.
Announcer 2: While we wait for him to make it to the stage, we wanna continue on with our Honorable Mentions.
Judge: Alright, well, my honorable mention was one of the hardest to pick from...
Judge: ...and I have decided on going with the District 9, the Prawn.
Announcer 2: And this is why we just move on with the winners because it might take them a while to make it to the stage.
Judge: Yeah, yeah.
Judge: Mine is also a first time costumer, and mine's gonna go to the- to Rey from Star Wars.
Judge: And she aged it with tea bags.
Judge: She did everything, guys, like, she weathered this, everything.
Judge: This is all her first time, and she looks incredible.
Announcer 2: Well, thank you very much for that. I believe we have our new category thanks to...
Announcer 1: Thanks to Bandai Namco, we have our Best Anime.
Hailey: Yeah, Rey!
Judge: I'll do Best Anime.
Judge: Aww. She gets a hug. Can I have a hug, Al?
Judge: She's got- Yeah, she got to- Oh- no- You got up here fast...
Judge: Okay, I'm gonna do anime because I was the anime junkie in the group, so...
Judge: Our anime group winner is gonna go to Ruby Rose and Yang.
Ali: With that scythe? Of course!
Announcer 1: Thank you Bandai Namco for letting us add the Best Anime.
Hailey: They aren't an anime, though.
Ali: It's anime.
Announcer 1: Let's move on now to the next category.
Hailey: It's definitely anime style.
Announcer 2: Judges' choice, whatever you wanna pick.
Judge: I'm gonna do Best Female Hero, and we have picked Cassandra from Dragon Age.
Hailey: Nice!
Judge: (to the prawn) It was the bra. The
bra took it, man.
Judge: That's (inaudible) the prawn.
Judge: And I'm going to announce the Best
Female Villain. So (inaudible) Kinda nice.
Judge: She actually made this herself. She was Springtrap.
Judge: Do you guys remember Springtrap? She was at the beginning of the contest. Amazing!
Judge: There she is! That's the stuff of nightmares, you guys, right there.
Judge: Alright, guys, let's keep the energy up and give these guys a BIG round of applause each time.
Judge: So, we're gonna do the Best Male Hero next. That's gonna go to Guts.
Ali: Yes!
Hailey: Oh, with the big sword?
Audience member: I would have picked McThor.
Hailey: I kinda would have picked McThor.

Hailey: Or at least as an honorable mention.
Audience member: Mojo Jojo!
Judge: Mojo Jojo!
Judge: Alright, and I'm going to do Best Group.

Judge: Lady Loki, Thor...
Judge: Yes, guys!
Judge: The amount of time they put into this, guys, is CRAZY!
Hailey: They really did like them. They really liked them.
Judge: You guys were all so invested that it was really difficult to, like, narrow it down.
Judge: Just, the sheer look of shock on her face! Oh my gosh!
Judge: It's like a Miss America pageant. I love this reaction!
Judge: Come on, guys, give it up to our winners!
Judge: These guys (inaudible)
