Miss USA 2016 Predictions

Hey y'all!  I haven't blogged for awhile, buy y'all know I have to stop in to give my pageant picks!  Miss USA 2016 will be crowned this Sunday evening and I can't wait to watch the girls compete!  The beautiful Olivia Jordan, Miss USA 2015 and 2nd runner up to Miss Universe 2015 will crown her successor at the show live from Las Vegas.  The pageant will be shown at 7pm ET on Fox.

Who will replace this beautiful blonde?

Olivia Jordan, Miss USA 2015

Olivia's evening gown will always be one of my favorites!

Miss Alabama USA, Peyton Brown is a former Miss Alabama Teen USA.

Miss Arkansas USA, Abby Floyd competed at Miss Teen USA in 2013.

Miss California USA, Nadia Mejia...her mother was Miss Virginia USA 1989.  California always does well at Miss USA and this girl is an early fave!

Miss Georgia USA, Emanii Davis hopes to be the first Miss Georgia USA to win Miss USA!

Miss Hawaii USA, Chelsea Hardin is stunning!

Miss Montana USA, Sibahn Doxey is a former Miss Montana Teen USA.

Miss South Carolina USA, Leah Lawson.  This girl is not only beautiful, but she has talent !

Miss Texas USA, Daniella Rodriguez is a former Miss Texas Teen USA and Texas has the most wins at Miss USA!

Miss Virginia USA, Desiree Williams is a former Miss Virginia and competed at the Miss America pageant in 2014.

And...last but not least is the girl that won an entry into the pageant with fan votes--Miss 52 USA.  Alexandra Miller was 1st runner up to Miss Oklahoma USA in 2015 (to Olivia Jordan who went on to win Miss USA).

Miss 52 USA, Alexandra Miller

Get your popcorn and tune in this Sunday evening!

Miss USA 2015 Faves

The Miss USA 2015 will be televised on the Reelz network, Sunday, July 12th at 8pm EST.  Unfortunately my cable provider, Cox Communications doesn't have Reelz!  I have to settle for watching the live feed from the Miss USA site.  Last night I watched the live stream of the preliminaries for bathing suit and evening gown.  After my first look, these are my favorites for top ten:




Maureen Montagne, Miss Arizona USA


Natasha Martinez, Miss California USA


Ashleigh Lollie, Miss Florida USA


Brooke Fletcher, Miss Georgia USA

Emma Wo, Miss Hawaii USA


Candice Bennatt, Miss Louisiana USA


Heather Elwell, Miss Maine USA


Mame Adjei, Miss Maryland USA

Rashontae Wawrzyniak, Miss Michigan USA


Ylianna Guerra, Miss Texas USA

Miss USA 2015

Miss USA drama...

As of this morning, the Miss USA site still shows that NBC will be airing the Miss USA pageant on July 12th at 7pm Central, live from the Baton Rouge River Center.

Unfortunately, that is not going to happen!  I'm not going to get into a political debate here, but NBC and Univision have both decided not to air the pageant, due to statements made by Presidential candidate and Miss USA owner, Donald Trump.

The hosts Thomas Roberts and Cheryl Burke have both backed out.

Both Univision pageant hosts, Cristian de la Fuente and Roselyn Sanchez have also backed out.

Columbia reggaeton performer J. Balvin has also backed out.

But...the show will go on without all of them.  After all, it is about the contestants!  I'm hoping it will be live streamed or that another network will pick it up.  I am just beginning to put together a list of my favorites and have been following some of the ladies since they were crowned at their state pageants.  Stay tuned y'all!

Miss Florida USA Pageant

Tonight is the Miss Florida USA 2015 pageant, live from Hollywood, Florida at 7:00 - 9:00 pm.   Of course, I'll be watching.  If you live in South Florida, you can view the pageant on WPLG or WTVX.  If you live outside the area, you can watch the live stream at news4jax.com.

Brittany Oldehoff, Miss Florida USA 2014 will be crowning the new Queen...She is gorgeous!

Brittany was the 4th runner up at Miss USA 2014.

The 5'11" brunette beauty was a model on Season 7 of "Project Runway" and she was one of my favorites in the Top 5 at Miss USA.  I thought she would be Top 3 with Miss Georgia and Miss Nevada.

Brittany says that "she's naturally thin and focuses on weight lifting at the gym."  Of course, she avoids carbs and eats mostly protein and vegetables.

These are my favorites that I'll be watching tonight...in no particular order, of course!

Miss Palm Beach County, Anh Do

Miss Emerald Coast, Ashleigh Lollie
