History

The Miss Teen USA pageant was created in 1983 as a sister pageant to the Miss USA system. The first pageant was held in Lakeland, Florida in August, 1983 and was won by Ruth Zakarian of New York. The pageant moved to April the following year, and then was held in January the next two years. It was held in July from 1988-1990 and has been held in August since 1991. The most common host city was Biloxi, Mississippi which hosted the pageant from 1990-1994, which caused problems in 1992 when the conclusion of the live broadcast was delayed because of Hurricane Andrew.

Competition Rounds

Here is a breakdown of how the semifinalists, finalists, runners ups, and the winner were chosen during 2003 to 2007:

Preliminaries

• The 51 delegates will compete in a preliminary competition one week before the final. There will be three rounds of competition: Swimsuits, evening gowns, and personal interviews.

• Swimsuit Competition: The 51 delegates will be wearing swimsuits provided by the sponsors.
• Evening Gown Competition: The 51 delegates will be wearing an evening gown chosen by themselves.
• Interview Competition: Each of the 51 delegates will be meeting with one of the preliminary judges to speak about a topic.

• The average scores of each delegate will be taken and the top 15 highest average scores will make the top 15. The top 15 semifinalists will then be announced during the final competition.

Final Competition

• After the top 15 delegates are announced during the finals, the 15 will compete in the same rounds of competition. However with some differences this time (i.e. The average composite scores of the evening gown and swimsuit competitions were not shown during 2003 to 2006). They include:

• Swimsuit Competition: The 15 delegates will be wearing swimsuits provided by the sponsors.

The average composite scores will be shown on television and the delegates with the highest 10 scores will make the top 10.

• Evening Gown Competition: The 10 delegates will be wearing an evening gown chosen by themselves. They can choose to stay with their preliminary gowns or change to a new gown.

The average composite scores will be shown on television. These scores will be added to the average composite scores of the swimsuit competition, and the delegates with the highest 5 scores will make the top 5.

• The Final Question: The top 5 delegates will pick out a question purposed by one of the final judges. Each delegate has 30 seconds before they hear a bell ring meaning that time is up.

• Afterwards the final judges will take a final look at the top 5 and cast their votes for who they think should be 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st runners ups and the new Miss Teen USA. Factors taken into consideration are:
• 1. Response to final question (Delegates who answer the question with confidence, substance, poise, vocabulary, and more). Delegates who fail to answer the question might automatically receive 4th runner up (i.e. Miss Missouri USA 2001, Larissa Meek and Miss Venezuela 2005, Monica Spear).
• 2. Average scores from the finals and the preliminaries.
• 3. Overall impression about the delegate.

Afterwards, the reigning titleholder will take her final walk and the hosts will announce the 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st runners ups and the new Miss Teen USA.

Results

• Compared to its sister pageants Miss USA and Miss Universe, Miss Teen USA is considered more unpredictable, with no states being clear favorites. As of 2006, only Oregon has managed to have more than one victory.

• After the first five years of the pageant, four states have won the title the first year they placed: Idaho (1989), New Hampshire (1991), Iowa (1992) and Montana (2006). Four states have won the second time they placed: Vermont (1993), Delaware (1999), Wisconsin (2002) and Ohio (2005). Most of these states have also performed poorly in the Miss USA pageant.

• The most successful states are Texas which has placed fifteen times and had one winner and seven runners-up, Georgia which has placed thirteen times and had six runners-up and Tennessee which has had eleven placements, won once and had four runners-up.

• The least successful state is Utah, which has placed only once (2nd runner-up, in 1995). Arkansas, Nebraska and Wyoming have placed twice and have never won the crown. Idaho and Montana have placed once and won the title on that occasion.

• States which have performed well in the Miss Teen USA pageant but poorly in the Miss USA pageant are North Dakota and Washington.

General

• The pageant's viewership peak was hit in 1988, when the pageant averaged over 22 million viewers on CBS. Even as recently as 1999, the show managed to bring in over 10 million viewers. The 2006 airing was the second lowest rated in the pageant's 23-year history, with only 5.6 million viewers watching the live broadcast (the lowest: 2004, with 5.34 million).^[4]
• The 1984 pageant was held so close to the 1983 pageant that not every state had time to hold its 1984 state pageant. As a result, a disclaimer appeared at the end of the telecast stating that each of the contestants had been "a winner or a runner-up" in her state pageant.

Miss Teen USAs at Miss USA

In the early years of Miss Teen USA, three winners represented the title "Miss Teen USA" at Miss USA. The three queens were: Ruth Zakarian (1983), Cherise Haugen (1984), and Allison Brown (1986). This also made history because the Miss USA 1984 pageant had 53 delegates, the most ever in a Miss USA pageant. In 1987, Miss Teen USA 1986, Allison Brown participated in the 1987 Miss USA pageant. All three failed to make the cut at their respective Miss USA pageants. [[Image:MissUSA2007Crowned. ...

Only in the three years mentioned above did Miss Teen USAs automatically gain representation at Miss USA. From 1988, if the Miss Teen USA winners want to compete at Miss USA, they first must win a Miss USA state crown. A total of seven Miss Teen USA winners have participated at Miss USA, with four winning their state Miss USA crowns first. The first of these was Kelly Hu, Miss Teen USA 1985, who won the Miss Hawaii USA 1993 title and represented Hawaii at Miss USA 1993. She finished as a finalist. The next was Jamie Solinger, Miss Teen USA 1992. She took the Miss Iowa USA 1998 title but failed to make the cut at the Miss USA pageant. Only two Miss Teen USAs have made the top 3 of Miss USA.
