What
happened to this year's Miss Teen USA pageant?
NBC did renew its contract with the Miss Teen USA organization
in 2008 resulting in the first time in the pageant's history that
it was not be televised. That still holds true for 2009.
But
that doesn't mean the pageant wouldn't go on! Crowned this year
at the 27th annual Miss Teen USA pageant was Miss Tennessee, Stormi
Henley. Named as Miss Congeniality was Miss Hawaii, Ashley
Moser, while named Miss Photogenic was Miss Iowa, Allyson Hovda.
The
2009 Miss Teen USA pageant was be held at Atlantis Paradise Island,
in Nassau, Bahamas
on July 31, 2009. For the first time since 1986 the Miss Teen
USA pageant was held earlier than Miss Universe pageant. (Miss
Universe 2009 will be held at same venue on August 23, 2009.)
Miss
Teen USA 2008, Stevi Perry of Arkansas, was on hand to crown her
successor at the event. Stevi made history last year when she
became the only Miss Arkansas to take the crown since the pageant
first began in 1983.
Making
even more news in 2007 was third runner-up Miss South Carolina,
Lauren
Caitlin Upton, who badly mangled a response to a question
posed to her during the competition, and now immortalized forever
on a popular YouTube video.
Following
the flub, Upton recovered from her 'blond moment' during a post-pageant
interview with "Well personally, my friends and I, we know
exactly where the United States is on our map. I don't know anyone
else who doesn't. And if the statistics are correct, I believe
there should be more emphasis on geography."
