Miss USA 2018

Miss USA 2018. The country’s representative to the Miss Universe 2018 will also come from the Miss USA 2018. This is true since the winner of this pageant will take part in one of the most prestigious international beauty contests, the Miss Universe pageant. In addition, the Miss USA pageant is also both being managed by Donald Trump and the Miss Universe Organization (MUO) under the good leadership of Paula Shugart. As such, many American ladies really aspire to represent their respective states in the pageant. More than anything else, they want to get hold of the title as the Miss USA 2018.

As what the majority of pageant fans are expecting, Miss Nevada 2014 Nia Sanchez will be at the grand coronation night of Miss USA 2018. She succeeded the title last June this year in Louisiana. This is not the first time that she joined a pageant. In fact, she was hailed as Miss Citrus Valley USA in 2010. Being the titleholder, she will represent the country in the Miss Universe 2014 pageant which will be held in Doral, Florida on January 25 next year. Admittedly, she is also excited to know who will succeed her in the Miss USA 2018.

Miss Teen USA

2018 Miss Teen USA is a beauty pageant run by the Miss Universe Organization for girls aged 14–19. The reigning titleholder is K. Lee Graham of South Carolina. Unlike it's sister pageants Miss Universe and Miss USA, the pageant is webcast on the Miss Teen USA website and simulcast on Microsoft's Xbox Live service.

The pageant was first held in 1983 and has been broadcast live on CBS until 2002 and then 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.

Since 2008, the pageant is held at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort, located in Nassau, Bahamas.

Notable pageant winners include actresses Kelly Hu (1985, Hawaii), Bridgette Wilson (1990, Oregon), Charlotte Lopez-Ayanna (1993, Vermont), Vanessa Minnillo (1998, South Carolina), Shelley Hennig (2004, Louisiana), and sportscaster Allie LaForce (2005, Ohio).

Miss Universe USA 2018

The 2018 Miss USA pageant was conceived in 1950 when Yolande Betbeze, winner of the rival Miss America pageant, refused to pose for publicity pictures while wearing a swimsuit. Pageant sponsor Catalina decided to pull their sponsorship off the pageant and create their own competition.[3] Other owners have included a subsidiary of Gulf+Western Industries, ITT Corporation, and billionaire Donald Trump, the current owner who bought the pageant in 1996.[4][5]

The first Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants were held concurrently in Long Beach, California in 1952; the first Miss USA winner was Miss New York USA Jackie Loughery.[6] There were thirty delegates in the first year of competition, and many states did not compete every year during the first two decades of the pageant's history. From the 1970s, each state and the District of Columbia have sent a delegate each year. Alaska first competed in 1959 and Hawaii in 1960. Both had competed at Miss Universe until this time.

The pageant aired on CBS from 1963 until 2002, and for many years was known for having a CBS game show host as pageant host. John Charles Daly hosted the show from 1963–1966, Bob Barker from 1967 (He wasn't a regular for the CBS network until 1972 when he became host of The Price Is Right) until 1987 (at which point he quit in a dispute over fur coats), Alan Thicke in 1988, Dick Clark from 1989-1993, and Bob Goen from 1994–1996. The show's highest ratings were in the early 1980s, when it regularly topped the Nielsen ratings.[7][8][9] Viewership dropped sharply from the 1990s to the 2000s, from an estimated viewership of 20 million to an average of 7 million from 2000–2001.[10] In 2002, owner Donald Trump brokered a new deal with NBC, giving them half-ownership of the Miss USA, Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA and moving them to NBC on an initial five-year contract.[11] The pageants were first shown on NBC in 2003.
