@@TubbaTubba-em2tmshe was actually first in the preliminary. She lost some ground and came in fifth during the semis. Once she was in the final 3, she surged forward and won the crown.
Personally, I don't see what the hype over Kenya was, and still don't see it after all these years. I was even more confused about Kansas making it, I didn't like her at all. This was definitely a year where I kind of shook my head at half the semi-finalists. I was pulling for Hawaii and Pennsylvania and was torn between which one I liked more. I thought both would have made an excellent Miss USA. Georgia was pretty, but too much of the over prepared pageant girl.
Courtney Gibbs was upset that Kenya won. Well too bad. I remember when Courtney won Miss USA. There was something about her personality that was not right. The two gorgeous blondes looked like Kenya's bookends. Kenya was outstanding. 👑 💐 🌹 🌟 🏆
In the end when Kenya won and was sitting on her throne Miss USA 1988 that was hosting she did not even have the dignity to go over and congratulate her. Such an ass.
They really didn't predict that Kenya would do well, but she surprised them all. Great job, Kenya!
She had one of the highest prelim averages. She was a front runner.

@@PungiFungi yes she edged out Hawaii by .03 in prelims
They need to bring this back ❤
I cried watching Kenya win
The Queen, what a moment in time 😍
I love that her grandmother was an audience just rooting her on so proud of her!! R.I.p to her grandmother ❤️
I know this moment her grandmother so proud
The US airforce academy can sing... I keep listening to those harmonies. 😯
Kenya ate them up during the Q&A

Kenya Moore and Kelly Hu scored the highest during prelims.
The 90"s knew how do Evening Gown right!
this happened so quick 💀
Watching Kenya Moore crowned when I was a kid was the minute I knew I was gay.

Richard Moll seems really hard to please.
He's a freakin' hater
51:45 Dick said CBS when he was also on NBC at time with Scattergories
And with ABC producing the American Music Awards and New Year's Rockin' Eve.
This made me cry awww Kenya 😊
Totally agree with Pennsylvania's statement about school uniforms
Queen Kenya Moore
Kansas had no business to be in top 3.. its should be Georgia. Michigan and Hawaii
Couldn’t stand Georgia. Pure pageant Patty. I loved New Jersey. I felt sorry for Pennsylvania when she froze during the question and answer segment.
Can we talk about cultural appropriation in those costumes???
46:58 welp that slur didn't age well
How did kenya win? It seems like people were more exited for miss kansas

Maybe she didn't like Kenya's personality. It happens.
The former Miss USA from 1988 is better looking than all the girls on stage combined from 1993. Wow, what a stunner Miss Courtney Gibbs is.
The racism 😂 blacks can be counted
