I was the Naval Aviator who was fortunate enough to be partnered with Terry in the opening number. She was a wonderful, genuine individual, and to date the best Miss USA ever!
All of you guys were so papasitos. Any event that count with your presence in it, it has to be a great success. Congrats and thanks for your services. I think exactly like you. She has been the best Miss USA ever, humble and the only one who said thanks when received the small bouquet you gave her, during night gown stage. Much blessings.
This is the most AWESOME CROWNING MOMENT in Miss USA history! TERRI is so LOVELY, soft spoken and she was the UNDERDOG and she deserved to WIN! She was 11th from the preliminaries but her personality and loveliness came through! CONGRATS AND I/WE/THE USA LOVE YOU TERRI! You are one of the BEST MISS USAs ... EVER! Let's go to Cabot tonight! Terri ... do you ever talk with Miss Texas?? She obviously cared so much about you at that moment!
As I watch this over and over I can't help but admire Terri more and more. Her reactions as the final results were read were so genuine. I think she knew Kentucky botched the final answer so that was not a surprise. I believe, after that, she honestly thought she was going to be the next to go. When Ohio's name was called next, notice Terri's reaction....she rolled her eyes as if to say...."I can't believe it....she was the front runner....". Then when Utah's name was called next, Terri seemed to become more incredulous because she and Texas were the remaining two. She honestly didn't think she'd get that far. When the final moment comes up, Terri can barely breathe because she won't allow herself to think that she actually won it. Texas thought she had it in the bag and when the announcement of the first runner up was made, Terri's reaction was one of shock and incredulity. She honestly never believed she would win and when she did...her reaction was priceless because she truly wasn't expecting it. Just a beautiful moment from an era when the pageants were classy, hosted by the best, Bob Barker, and the girls were classy ....not the over-hyped bimbos of today. If only the Miss Universe organization would,Ho back to this format.
Vivo en México y en esa época trasmitían el Miss USA a nuestro país y yo amaba ese formato, era espectacular y me hubiera gustado que ese mismo formato lo aplicaran en el Señorita México de ese entonces, porque el nuestro era muy aburrido. En fin el Miss USA de 1982 fue increíble y me encantó la reacción de la chica, muy auténtica, muy genuina.
Terri Utley, Miss Arkansas, wasn't as glamorous as the others, but she won the judges over with her honest, down home charm and humor, she deserved the crown. And she did America proud at Miss Universe, making the top 5.
Miro y miro la reacción de Terry al ganar el Miss USA 82 y no me cansó de ver,es la reacción que todo el mundo desea ver cuando ganan una corona , su reacción es tan encantadora y elegante, una gran Reina tuvo Los Estados Unidos.
By far the best reaction ever. She had absolutely no idea her life was about to change. I personally thought she was amazing, short hair and all, and genuine
She was my # 1 favorite that night, and I had the pleasure to meet her the year of her reign in Oxnard, CA where the Miss California USA Pageant was held. A genuinely nice young woman.
The most memorable crowing moment for a Miss USA, bar none. More than 3 decades later, Terri Utley still enthralls with her unique, natural and understated persona. She was no pageant patty. No big wonder, she won!
Simpatiquisima y auténtica Terrey .... Espontánea reacción ... Verdadera .... Pocas son así ... Gran desenvolvimiento tuvo en Miss Universo 1982 ... Llego a 4th runner up ....
La de Texas toda acartonada hablando de etiqueta, claro una dama debe serlo siempre, pero en ese momento creo que la etiqueta era secundaria. Preguntaron por consejos no modales.
Beore the insterview segment of the pageant, Terry Utley had the 2nd lowest preliminary socre of all the constestants, but when the night was over, she walked out of there with the crown and title of Miss USA 1982 and that is all that mattered!
For those wondering what happened with Ohio who was first in the semifinals. Watch the question and answer segment in the isolation booth. The question was , "if you, as Miss USA, traveled the nation, what is the one subject you would choose and what would you tell them?" The contestants had to show poise, sincerity and a direct, simple response that clearly answered the question. The key word in the question was "One Subject". The judges should have ranked the girls this way: They got it right with Kentucky as 4th runner up. Kentucky was suffering with a bad case of nerves all evening and she froze and it was all over for her. She lost her poise and composure. Besides which, she was a big boned gal who was built like an Amazon and had harsh features. When she finally got the answer out, she was fine but it was too little too late. They also got it right placing Ohio as 3rd runner up. The question was ONE SUBJECT. She gave a typical pageant patty answer and was technically, not answered. She said be pleasant, considerate and above all happy. Fine qualities indeed, but instead of focusing on ONE SUBJECt, she named three and she probably would have done better if she had summarized the three things she mentioned in one subject like the importance of being a personable individual....that is having a great personality. If she would have said something like, "I would speak to them about being personable because when you're personable, you will attract people with the qualities of being pleasant, and considerate which will result in true happiness because the impression you make being personable will bring forth your fine qualities. Then I would have given Texas the 2nd runner up spot because while she did mention One Subject, she articulated it in such a way that made her look dumb. Etiquette??? If she would have said, "I think I could best talk to them about having good manners. Being polite and knowing how to carry yourself with class is a trait that leaves a lasting impression on people." If she had stated it in such a way, she would have maybe even won but she came off flaky and ditzy with her sing song voice with such poor wording on her subject. Then I would have given Miss Utah the 1st runner up position. She gave a well thought out answer and articulated it perfectly. The thing about her, though, was that she wasn't very pretty....she was nice ....yes....very sweet....but she also had harsh features and her hair was a mess. Now, Terri, Miss Arkansas, was simple and direct with her response. She was totally sincere, devoid of pretension and did not come off as flaky, arrogant or affected....she named ONE SUBJECT....honesty and with her soft spoken delivery, you believed her because she believed in what she was saying. She was the most natural out of the five....the most poised, the most direct and simple response that clearly answered the question! And she put it over with such charm that was undeniable! A true queen....regal, poised and honest!!!
I agree with you. I thought Ohio or Texas had it in the bag up until the end. Ohio was beautiful, but flubbed the final question badly by not listening to it and spouting 3 things instead of 1. Texas was drop dead gorgeous. However, she gave a garbled and grammatically challenged response. She delivered it in an annoyingly whiny voice that cost her the crown. Arkansas was the best choice and deserved the crown....
Good points for sure, but....Miss Ohio was simply so beautiful it was preposterous not to give it to her. And let's face it....there have been many winners of Miss USA and Miss Universe who won, but still somewhat flubbed their answer in the final question. Miss Ohio was robbed.
What I hate the most is that Miss USA '81 and many other former queens, seems to be tired of reigning and just put the crown on their successor's head and they don't give a crap about it. It is indeed a very emotional moment, and Miss Utley, to my taste one of the most beautiful miss USA ever. She has a resemblance to Lady Diana.
My God, was Miss Texas wearing turpentine as lipstick? You can see the huge mark she left on Terri's cheek when she kissed her, even though everyone kept trying to wipe it off. lol
I never tire of watching this moment. Terri is the most unique and lovely beauty queen. She broke the mold. Also, who is the cute marine at 7:12 who is third from the right. He has a great smile and he is very happy that Terri won. That guy makes my heart throb. This was a pageant with class ....bring back the military and make the Miss USA pageant like this again...with real women, classy production and the military with a patriotic theme. Enough with the plastic bimbo show that Donald Trump made it.
Not sure who had it in for Miss Ohio, but someone was against her. She was 10,000 miles ahead of the other four finalists. Ohio should have won in her sleep. And she should have sued the pageant.

Terri Utley was beautiful and she still is! I remember watching this when it first aired and I knew she was going to win right from the beginning. I don't know why you state it's an all time low....every pageant after Donald Trump took over qualifies as the lowest of the lows...if we had more winners like Terri and more productions like this, the class would return to the pageant and the ratings, which have dive bombed with Trump, would sky rocket! Terri Utley....class and beauty personified....regal...a true beauty queen!! WE LOVE YOU TERRI!!!!!!
She was so beautiful I think she should have won Miss. Universe. Lord how these years fly by.
I was the Naval Aviator who was fortunate enough to be partnered with Terry in the opening number. She was a wonderful, genuine individual, and to date the best Miss USA ever!
Yes sir.
Very unusual, because of her trademark short hair.

But not so pretty
@@impemt not so pretty? maybe you have a big problem in your eyes
Does anyone remember BOTH Miss USA and Miss America came from Arkansas in 1982?
This is the most AWESOME CROWNING MOMENT in Miss USA history! TERRI is so LOVELY, soft spoken and she was the UNDERDOG and she deserved to WIN!

I agree I will never forget this pageant and her presence. A good soul inside and out.
Just met Terri at an event in NYC. What a genuine and amazing woman.
What event was it? Is she residing in NYC now?
the greatest Miss USA reaction ever, I still cry right along with her every time I watch this.
I agree! Love Terri Utley!! 😊

Your observations were superb!
I agree texas thought she had it notice the consolation kiss she gave her before the crowning
AGREE… best time late 70’s to late 80’s. Candidates walked normally and prob would look the same on and of stage.

What a great reaction from a lovely, classy lady!
I enjoyed watching this again. Terry Utley was my favorite of all time. She seemed real and honest.
Terri Utley, Miss Arkansas, wasn't as glamorous as the others, but she won the judges over with her honest, down home charm and humor, she deserved the crown. And she did America proud at Miss Universe, making the top 5.
Terri was a natural beauty she did not need a lot of makeup and glitter
Miro y miro la reacción de Terry al ganar el Miss USA 82 y no me cansó de ver,es la reacción que todo el mundo desea ver cuando ganan una corona , su reacción es tan encantadora y elegante, una gran Reina tuvo Los Estados Unidos.
Wow, just realized Miss Arkansas was crowned both Miss USA and Miss America that same year!
By far the best reaction ever. She had absolutely no idea her life was about to change. I personally thought she was amazing, short hair and all, and genuine
That was so rare for a beauty queen to have short hair. But she deserved it! No doubt about it.
I remember was in my last year of college back in my natal Honduras and I cried, just for seeing her sincere reaction.
She was my # 1 favorite that night, and I had the pleasure to meet her the year of her reign in Oxnard, CA where the Miss California USA Pageant was held. A genuinely nice young woman.
Best surprise reaction ever for a Miss USA winner!
Such a genuine reaction! Love it! She made me cry! lol
The most memorable crowing moment for a Miss USA, bar none. More than 3 decades later, Terri Utley still enthralls with her unique, natural and understated persona. She was no pageant patty. No big wonder, she won!
Terry is the perfect example of the all around American Beauty,She deserve that Crown 👑 Fair and square,She did an splendid job as Miss USA 🇺🇸 1982.

Digo Terry Utley
La de Texas toda acartonada hablando de etiqueta, claro una dama debe serlo siempre, pero en ese momento creo que la etiqueta era secundaria. Preguntaron por consejos no modales.
Very genuine reaction
Her hair style reminds me of my mom when I was young.
Terri, Go Arkansas. You were beautiful. Thank you for wearing the crown for our home state , Arkansas. Judith King
I love her reaction
She is one of The Mis Usa favorite to me.
Did anyone back then wear lipstick that stayed on? Love her reaction. She was a unique Miss USA.
Miss Arkansas' reaction will always be my favorite , she was truly excited to win the Miss USA title
Sabemos que quedó cuarta finalista en el miss universe pero imagínense si ganaba. Pienso q se desmayaria de la emoción

Ahhhh the best reaction ive ever seen miss USA love it
Solo recuerdos...los 80,s ...la mejor época de Concursos de Belleza.
Love this reaction!
Miss Ohio was on the way to victory but she blew the final question.
look at how gorgeous Joan Van Ark was. It is such a shame what she did to her face. She could have competed that night.
I know right! Her and Donna Mills piled on the eye makeup and eyeliner too much over the years.
I'm thinking about the air in the dressing room, and how thick with hairspray it must have been. That is a LOT of hair up there.
The outgoing titleholder looked so plain at Miss Universe. She looked much better at her farewell walk.
I love miss USA 1982, i love your reaction
what a beautiful lady. go Arkansas. GO USA
Very genuine
A rare farewell without the crown!
she's wearing her crown... her hair is hiding it.
You are right...she is wearing the crown backwards.
Si hubiera quedado Miss Universo 1982 se hubiera desmayado de la emoción.
terry's my fave miss usa all these years
My God, was Miss Texas wearing turpentine as lipstick? You can see the huge mark she left on Terri's cheek when she kissed her, even though everyone kept trying to wipe it off. lol
i think it was the outgoing winner's lipstick
@@hjon9119 No, it wasn't. You can see Miss Texas trying to rub it off herself at 2:49. LOL
La texana es absolutamente espectacular
Kristina Chapman was later a host of the monster truck show Super Trax!
Terri Utley is actually a cousin in my family. I've known that since she ccx won and I asked my grandma.
America LOVES you Terri! You are awesome!

Terri had the best answer in the final question. Her reaction was absolutely HONEST! Congratulations! How time flies! 40 years have passed!
Her answer to the final answer was ordinary. It reminded me of preschool teachers. 🤷♂️

Cute fun reaction, but from a beauty perspective, Miss Ohio was miles better.
Galileocan g yes Ohio was smoking hot
Good Question: Where Was This Taped At?
Maybe that's why she won , she was different.
Just goes to show you don't have to have long hair to be in pageants. Way to go, Terri!
Not sure who had it in for Miss Ohio, but someone was against her. She was 10,000 miles ahead of the other four finalists. Ohio should have won in her sleep. And she should have sued the pageant.
Yes Ohio should have easily won
But wasn’t Texas leading throughout the finals? I thought Texas was the heavy favorite that year

Beautiful Miss USA but I thought Ohio had it in the bag.
That lipstisck mark came from Miss USA Kim..and she did it on pourpose...lol
Funny reaction!
She is so pretty here. I loved her. Why did they butcher her hair for Miss Universe? Hair and gown was bad at Universe.
The Crown of Miss USA 1981 was covered by her big hair.
Unsure about this one!!!

Miss USA 1981 is much hotter and sexier looking than Miss USA 1982.
Her hair was tragic thou hehe!
She's plain
beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
She's pretty enough. Several of the other girls were prettier, but they weren't as charming as Teri.
Definitely not one of my favorites, I didn't think was pretty and HATED that short hair cut.
Maybe that's why she won , she was different and genuine.
