One of my favourite site sections since I created Pageant Update, the top fives page (or top three, or four, or six!) is your place to compare the official “court” photos from each state. It’s a celebration of our winners and runners-up for each Miss USA 2010 state pageant. Many 2010 runners-up later went on to compete at Miss USA, the last being Ohio’s Megan Wise and Utah’s Teale Murdock in 2006. Who were your 2010 state favourites? And who missed out that you would have loved to see on the Miss USA stage?
