Miss Teen USA
Encyclopedia
Miss Teen USA is a beauty pageant run by the Miss Universe Organization
for girls aged 14–19. The reigning titleholder is Danielle Doty
of Texas
.
The pageant was first held in 1983 and has been broadcast live on a succession of channels, most recently on NBC from 2003-2007. In March 2007 it was announced that the broadcast of the Miss Teen USA pageant on NBC had not been renewed, and that Miss Teen USA 2007
would be the final televised event.
Notable pageant winners include actresses Kelly Hu
(1985—Hawaii
), Bridgette Wilson
(1990—Oregon
), Charlotte Lopez-Ayanna
(1993—Vermont
) and Vanessa Minnillo
(1998—South Carolina
).
in August, 1983 and was won by Ruth Zakarian
of New York
. The pageant moved to April the following year, and then was held in January the next two years. It was held in July from 1988–1990 and has been held in August since 1991. The most common host city was Biloxi, Mississippi
which hosted the pageant from 1990–1994, which caused problems in 1992 when the conclusion of the live broadcast was delayed because of Hurricane Andrew
. Other frequent host cities have been South Padre Island, Texas
(1997, 2001–2002), Shreveport, Louisiana
(1998–2000) and Palm Springs, California
(2003–2004, 2006).
During the final competition, the semi-finalists are announced and go on to compete in swimsuit and evening gown. From 1983 to 2002 all semi-finalists also competed in an interview competition as well as both swimsuit and evening gown, followed by one or two final interview questions. In 2003
, a new format was introduced where the top fifteen competed in evening gown, the top ten competed in swimsuit and the top five competed in the final question. In 2006
, the order of competition was changed where the top fifteen competed in swimsuit and the top ten in evening gown. The latest competition format was used since 2008
the final not broadcast on TV, where the top fifteen both competed in swimsuit and evening gown, and the top five competed in the final question who all signed up by a panel of judges.
. The three queens were: Ruth Zakarian (1983), Cherise Haugen (1984), and Allison Brown (1986). This also made history because the Miss USA 1984 pageant had 53 delegates, the most ever in a Miss USA pageant. In 1987, Miss Teen USA 1986, Allison Brown participated in the 1987 Miss USA pageant. All three failed to make the cut at their respective Miss USA pageants.
Only in the three years mentioned above did Miss Teen USAs automatically gain representation at Miss USA
. From 1988, if the Miss Teen USA winners want to compete at Miss USA, they first must win a Miss USA state crown. A total of seven Miss Teen USA winners have participated at Miss USA, with four winning their state Miss USA crowns first. The first of these was Kelly Hu, Miss Teen USA 1985, who won the Miss Hawaii USA
1993 title and represented Hawaii at Miss USA 1993. She finished as a finalist. The next was Jamie Solinger
, Miss Teen USA 1992. She took the Miss Iowa USA 1998 title but failed to make the cut at the Miss USA pageant. Only two Miss Teen USAs have made the top 3 of Miss USA. Brandi Sherwood
, Miss Teen USA 1989 won the Miss Idaho USA
1997 title. Succeeding Kelly, she took 1st runner up and later inherited the Miss USA crown, when Brook Mahealani Lee of Hawaii won Miss Universe
1997. She is the only Miss Teen USA winner to hold the title Miss USA. Shauna Gambill
was close in winning the Miss USA 1998 title, but placed 1st runner up to Shawnae Jebbia
, Miss Massachusetts USA
1998. However, to date is has never happened that the same woman had won the 2 separate pageants oficially.
There have been two years when two Miss Teen USAs participated at Miss USA. The first was 1984, when Miss Teen USA 1983 and Miss Teen USA 1984 participated, the second was 1998, when Jamie Solinger competed as Miss Iowa USA
but went unplaced, and Shauna Gambill
competed as Miss California USA
and placed first runner-up.
The first Miss Teen USA not to win a Miss USA state pageant on her first attempt was Christie Lee Woods
, Miss Teen USA 1996, of Texas, who placed third runner-up in the Miss Texas USA
2002 pageant. She would also become the first Miss Teen USA to compete for, but never win a Miss USA state title (she also placed as a semi-finalist in 2003 and 2004). The second Miss Teen USA who did not win a Miss USA state title on her first attempt was Ashley Coleman
, Miss Teen USA 1999, of Delaware, who competed in the Miss California USA
2006 pageant and finished third runner-up. She is the first Miss Teen USA winner to compete in a different state from that where she won her Miss Teen USA crown. Tami Farrell
, Miss Teen USA 2003, competed at Miss California USA
2009 as Miss Malibu USA, but failed to win the crown, placing first runner-up to Carrie Prejean
. Farrell competed at Miss Teen USA as Miss Oregon Teen USA
, and was one of the only Miss Teen USA's to try for the state crown outside of the state she represented for Miss Teen USA. In a span of only two years later, Miss Teen USA 2006
, Katie Blair
also competed at Miss California USA
2011. Representing the state of Montana at Miss Teen USA 2006, Blair is only the third Miss Teen USA to compete in a state other than the state she competed in Teen. Similarly to Coleman and Farrell, Blair placed 1st runner up in the pageant, to Alyssa Campanella
, who also competed in Miss Teen USA representing another state. Campanella went on to win Miss USA 2011
