now that most of the Miss and Teen USA contestants are selected, who do you think will be standing in the top 5 of both Teen USA and Miss USA 2012?
Subject: NEED references... Elizabeth Richards - does anyone know of her? She runs the online Miss United States Pageant and claims the live pageant is an infringement on her trademark. Has anyone had any dealings with her?

NEED references... Elizabeth Richards - does anyone know of her? She runs the online Miss United States Pageant and claims the live pageant is an infringement on her trademark.
Has anyone had any dealings with her? Do you know anything about why the Miss United States pageant doesn't seem to be advertising anywhere, and their website is down. Elizabeth runs her online pageant at http://www.missunitedstatespageant.com/index.html and charges $510 just to win your state and move on to nationals (hidden fees on top of waived fees).
If anyone has dealt with her, and this online pageant, I'd like to know your experiences - the live Miss United States pageant is not responding to requests to verify if they will ever hold another pageant. Please email me at MsJodiBell@yahoo.com

The five finalists as announced on stage for the title of Miss Teen-USA 2011:
1) Miss Kansas Teen-USA
2) Miss California Teen-USA
3) Miss Missouri Teen-USA
4) Miss North Dakota Teen-USA
5) Miss Texas Teen-USA
-------------*******-----------------
Selected as Miss Teen-USA 2011.....
Miss Texas Teen-USA, Danielle Doty, 18, of Harlingen, Texas, who becomes the second Texas contestant to win the Miss Teen-USA title in 28 year-history of the national pageant. The first Texan was Christie Lee Woods of Huntsville, Texas in 1996. She would later compete for Miss Texas-USA twice, but did not win. (Question--does Miss Texas Teen-USA first runner-up BreAnna Young of Fort Worth now assumes the state title if the state pageant franchise directors ask her, or is the title left vacant??).
First runner-up. Miss North Dakota Teen-USA, Audra Mari, 17, of Fargo (who, in my opinion looks a bit like pop singer Katy Perry). Audra was the only contestant in the top five which has not had a Miss Teen-USA winner before. She becomes the highest ranked North Dakota entrant in the Miss Teen-USA pageant. The next highest ever ranked entrant from the state Kate Cooper of Westhope, North Dakota in 2006 who was second runner-up.
Second runner-up, Miss California Teen-USA, Alexis Swanstrom, 18, of San Diego, who could have made history had she won by having both Miss Teen-USA and Miss USA winners from the same state in the same year. Last month in Las Vegas, then-Miss California-USA 2011, Alyssa Campanella (a New Jersey native) was named Miss USA 2011...and a win tonight by Alexis thus making it a double national pageant win in 2011 for California.
Third runner-up, Miss Kansas Teen-USA, Taylor Clark, 17, of Topeka
Fourth runner-up, Miss Missouri Teen-USA, Sydnee Stottlemyre, 17, of Wildwood
Former Miss Teen-USA 2005, Alexandra "Allie" Leigh LaForce (whose mother, Lesa Rummell LaForce, was Miss Ohio-USA 1977) and Las Vegas radio announcer Chester (Chet) Buchanan did a good job as co-hosts.
The competition banners for the Miss Teen-USA contestants, just like those at Miss USA last month, look cheap and have a slight different look and font size from the previous ones used for decades at Miss Teen-USA, Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. They should bring back the previous longtime used version which looks better. Anyone know the reason for the switch in competition banners this year?
Overall, it was a very nice 2011 Miss Teen-USA pageant, but next year lets bring the Miss Teen-USA pageant back to our own country--the USA. Can you imagine the Miss Canada pageant being held in Wyoming or the Miss Cayman Islands pageant in Texas just because there maybe some nice business sponsorship deal?? This is the fourth-consecutive year that this hotel in the Bahamas as played host to the Miss Teen-USA pageant.
It is so tacky to out-source our own American pageant to foreign countries, even if they are some 184 miles away from our American ocean-shoreline of Florida. Surely there are dozens of cities throughout the USA that would love to host the Miss Teen-USA pageant and get the extra tourism revenue for a week or so in their community--even if the pageant is no longer televised nationally (just via webcast). Thoughts? Again, congratulations to Danielle, the newly named Miss Teen-USA 2011.
Replies:
CLARIFY---the sentence regarding the first runner-up should have said..... -- Audra was the only contestant in the top five who hails from a state which has not had a Miss Teen-USA winner. And now--they still don't. Try again in 2012. Also it should have said Katie not Kate...as in Katie Cooper (Miss ND Teen-USA 2006),, 15:56:30 07/17/11 Sun

Wouldn't that be interesting if Florida wins Miss Teen USA tonight. That would mean as one woman becomes a new titleholder in Florida, another one becomes a national titleholder from Florida.

I was lucky to watch all the webcast (well, all that we could see, given they brought it back after AL-AZ had competed in SS).
I really wish I could see it again because I wasn't taking many notes and I'd like to go through it more slowly.
Confirmed as the runaway winner for me was Texas. I don't think there's anyone who can touch her.
Also in my top five are:
*Indiana (iffy on the gown but face of the pageant & one of the strongest in SS)
*Maryland (not so sure on the gown & don't think it made her stand out or give her the best opportunity to strut but she was solid in all areas)
*New Hampshire (gown of the night for me - princess gown w a modern twist)
*Georgia (not as much a personal favourite as a girl who really shined when it counts)
*Pennsylvania (again wasn't a fan of the gown but solid in all areas).
I would be altogether unsuprised if one (or two) of KY, KS or VA also make the top five, with my money on Kansas.
My darkhorses were Idaho and District of Columbia. Both have been completely under the radar but I thought dominated tonight - especially Idaho in a tough group. DC is super smart, should do really well in interview too.
Other favourites were Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana (who held her own again KS & KY - tough ask), Maine, New York, North Dakota (better posture needed in gown?), Wisconsin & West Virginia. I'm not a fan of Tennessee (does that surprise you Hooked?) but I think she'll make it too.
I really need to have a look at the pics before I firm up a top fifteen though and they're not out yet - may not be out till the morning (your time)... boo!
Other positives... no stupid rhymes! That was almost the highlight of the night! Kamie did a wonderful job as host... I find it ironic she's the titleholder I think could be the most successful in the entertainment biz, yet she's heading straight to college to fulfil her dream of being a dermatologist. More power to her - she's truly my favourite Teen USA in a long, long time. Loved that there was no unnecessary timewasting, it all happened pretty smoothly without huge delays.
I just wish we'd been able to see the intros! For those that weren't around there a HUGE outcry when they pulled the feed and while I'm befuddled that MUO were advertising prelims being webcast then had the temerity to say "This was just a test, we're not webcasting tonight" I'm really glad they had the good sense to put it back on! There were over a thousand people watching! If they're going to pull the pageant out of the US they should at least give fans an opportunity to watch ALL the girls, not just the lucky 15 who make the cut tomorrow.

Kentucky - Stephanie has pretty much been my choice since her crowning. Cutesy and Teen, yet has the potential to vamp it up. I believe she's still in high school and I'm hoping that won't hinder her chances. She's got a gorgeous face and that southern charm. I think she could be Kentucky's first Miss Teen USA.
New Hampshire - Beautiful, beautiful girl! Has loads of potential to be a great Miss candidate in a few years. While I think she's such a natural beauty, I don't think she has the presence that some of the other girls have. But I think that face could make up for that.
Hawaii - I think this is the strongest year my state has ever had! Much like her big sister Angela, I think Courtney has the face of a doll.
South Carolina - Much like at Miss USA, I foresee South Carolina to be the lone RPM delegate in the semi-finals. Keyla is a beauty.
Indiana - Super cute girl. Very youthful, which could work against her, though.
