Wow, this was an amazingly strong year for the Top 5! All beautiful ladies.

I loved Shauna Gambill, she was so perfect on interview, however, as soon as I saw Shawnae in the opening, she had that "it" factor that made me say "she´s the winner"

[@lttoverlord]

I like how they used their photos in the background and how it would switch back and forth as each finalist was called out.

Melanie Breedlove (MIss Missouri) grew up right next door to me (her parents still live there) her mom was one of my teachers at high school and her dad was the baseball coach in school. Melanie certainly made Mtn. Grove, MO proud that night!

I love Shawnae. But Shauna is undoubtedly the best first runner-up in Miss USA history.

Ésto es increíble señores

[@tightyellowbro]

by far this was the biggest upset in miss usa history shauna gambill had this crown in the bag and the judges gave her crown away...massachusetts should have been cut at this point

[@spoyledbratt]

So funny that Russell Simmons didn't give Massachusetts a score considering he's a fitness guy too. Maybe he was so impressed with her that he couldn't input his score on time lol

[@dtw1958]

Love to see the crowning

[@brigtsen]

i totally agree with you

[@showmebear]

to each his own, I think any one of them would have placed well at MU....and my point is verified by Shaunae's success.

[@autohaus17]

Texas should have been made in top three. What a shame for her!!

[@autohaus17]

Yeah...miss texas is really cute. Shauna should have won that year.

[@missuniworld]

@jovymemo He's J. Eddie Peck.

[@perrsnickety]

wow i thought it was an unusually weak year, yes they are pretty and will do fine as bright young miss usa, but put these girls up in the miss universe pageant and down they go, miss Massachusetts luckily did well at the miss universe pageant

[@Laceydog]

Utah and Mass. were te best!
