Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas

For the third year, Las Vegas welcomed Miss USA and the 51 contestants of the 2010 Miss USA Pageant. This is the 59th edition of the Miss USA pageant. The group arrived on May 4 for a week of events at resorts and venues in the Entertainment Capital of the World. The pageant airs live May 16th on NBC, at 7 p.m., over WPTV Channel 5 from the Theatre for the Performing Arts in Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.

The winner will represent the United States in the Miss Universe 2010 competition. Miss USA 2009, Kristen Dalton from North Carolina, will crown her successor at the end of this event. The 50 states and the District of Columbia will compete for the prestigious title.

The pageant will be co-hosted by Australian celebrity chef Curtis Stone and Today show correspondent Natalie Morales. Colour commentary will be provided by Joan and Melissa Rivers. Pop rock band Boys Like Girls will perform during the swimsuit competition and country music star Trace Adkins will perform during the evening gown competition. Stone, Adkins and Rivers have all appeared on Donald Trump’s television show Celebrity Apprentice.

Kristen Dalton and Chet Buchanan are scheduled to host the Miss USA 2010 Presentation Show. For the first time since Miss Universe did last year, the Miss USA 2010 Preliminary Competition will be live webcast via Ustream (on www.missusa.com) in Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on May 12, 2010. The competition was broadcast in High Definition for the third time in history.

Pageants were held from June 2009 to January 2010 to select the representative for each state. During the final show on May 16, the fifteen delegates with the highest average score from the preliminary competition will be announced. There are 3 categories in which each contestant will be judged: personality, swimsuit, and evening gown. Each category counts equally. The top fifteen will compete in the swimsuit competition. The top ten delegates from swimsuit will compete in evening gown. The top five delegates from the evening gown competition (not averaged composite scores from both competitions) will compete in the final question round to determine the winner. The judges’ composite score will be shown after each round of competition.

Representing Miss Florida USA 2010 is Megan Clementi, a former Orlando Magic dancer and University of Central Florida graduate with a major in electrical engineering. She is also the co-host of a new UCF-themed children’s show, “UKnighted.”
