I normally dont subscribe to beauty channel except Sierra B's but I immediately clicked subscribe after watching one video. Christy Fichtner was very upset she was the first runner up Michelle Royer qualified in first place after the prelims, the venue was my home country, Singapore, she was in second place most of the time until she was barely edged by Miss Italy in the last minute. Miss Italy was very very stunning. Gibbs also qualified first after the prelims but didnt do that well in the final.

Their five peat win at Miss USA was a major turning point at the start of Miss USA 1990, when they decided to change the format (Final 3) to make more excitement and to prevent Texas from winning more Miss USA crowns. Texas ended their winning streak and the first African American to win Miss USA.

I will indeed do some predictions for Miss Universe - I’ve steered clear up to now as I wanted to establish the channel a little more before I threw myself to the lions, so to speak! Getting involved in predictions will presumably broaden the appeal of my channel, but also opens me up to the nasty comments I’ve so far managed to avoid by just sticking to facts, and less about opinions.

If this scenario happens in Miss Universe in the near future, I'll be very happy. (Well, despite the concerns from fans about the new owner, Anne JKN, they're worried about her rigging it or bribing the judges, and I don't see her like that. Why would she do it to the most prestigious pageant as she is aware of these issues?) Venezuela has had their back-to-back victory, well I have a feeling that this might happen to that country. Or maybe the USA, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, or South Africa (they almost had it with Tamaryn Green placing 1st Runner-Up in the 2018 edition, their three-peat victory would've made history).

All of these winners were prepared by then directors of the Miss Texas USA pageant, GuyRex. They even made a documentary about them and all that went into preparing a title-holder for their next competition. My favorite thing of theirs was that they expected all of their representatives to have what they referred to as crown hair. Simply stated, you should anticipate winning and it should be easy for the crown to be placed on your head. And if you look at each of their crownings you will see that the crown goes right on. They left the Miss Texas organization and started working with contestants in Hawai'i. I'm not sure if they were working independently at that time or if they were directly affiliated with a state pageant organization. What I do know is that they had a hand in preparing Miss America 1992, Carolyn Suzanne Sapp; the first ever Miss America from Hawai'i. I've always been curious if they were involved with the Miss Hawai'i USA contest in 1997, the year that produced Brook Lee, who went on the become Miss USA and then Miss Universe.

I never heard that they worked with contestants in Hawaii! I do know that after they were kicked out if Miss USA they started the Miss World America contest and chose the American delegate to Miss World from 1992 through 1997. The first two years were separate pageants and then 1994 and 1995, they produced them in association with Miss Mexico-World. For 1996 and 1997, they chose the girls themselves. They lived in California for several years before returning to Texas. Rex Holt passed in 2015 and Richard Guy passed in 2019. Pageants have not been the same since.

It's too bad that they were never able to produce a MU winner. They sent five amazing women from Texas and each of them did well but none were able to secure the crown for the USA. It took six more years before a Miss USA became Miss Universe and it should be no surprise that it was a woman from Texas. The amazing Chelsi Smith (RIP).

Nice idea! I’ve always wondered that myself. I initially thought it might’ve been the makeup of the judges but from what I know that shouldn’t have been a factor. It was interesting to see that USA and Dominican Republic, who performed so well during prelims, really weren’t a factor on finals night. Was nice to see some different countries featured! It might make a nice clip about surprising occurrences in MU’s history - thanks again!

@@PageantNerd I agree, you don’t. It makes people feel like they chose the wrong person. Granted, as you said, no one can predict the future as to who will be more successful in their careers. As a judge of many pageants, I look at “potential towards their career goals” and who I think will succeed outright. It’s called the “it factor”. Either you have it or you don’t.

Completely disagree. There's a difference between confidence and arrogance and Christy definitely personified the latter. Barbara Palacios Teyde was poised throughout the entirety of the finals competition and presented herself as the most thoughtful and articulate of the night. All of them are beautiful so at the end of the day that doesn't really come to play.

Of the five, Courney Gibbs' win was the most precarious. She didn't win Swimsuit OR Evening Gown (all other four Texas Aces won BOTH), and California gave a better final answer. I wouldn't be surprised if the judges split 6-5 that year in picking the winner.

Richard Guy (GuyRex) said that he was surprised by Courtney's win. He said that he was shocked because the voting was so split in an interview with USA Today after her win. Which also goes to show that they showed the voting afterwards to alleviate any fears of cheating. So it probably was a 6-5 split. based on who made the top 5 that year at Miss Universe, Diana probably would have done better than Courtney.

@@dy1497 Back when, pageants were big business and news USA Today used to provide lots of coverage. In 1986, when Christy Fichtner was at Miss Universe, they did a feature story on her (front page) about how she was favored to win Miss Universe. They did a cover story on Guy Rex the day of Miss USA 1987 talking about their two contestants (Texas-Michelle Royer and California-Lori Dickerson). After Texas won, they offered lots of coverage. They even travelled to Taiwan in 1988 and wrote a Life cover story on the 1988 Miss Universe Pageant. After Courtney won, they were interviewed by several news outlets and Guy said that when he saw the voting he was shocked. Miss Universe always let everyone know afterwards where the contestants ranked preliminaries and final voting. (Not sure about now). But Courtney was not the overwhelming unanimous choice. She won but barely. As Guy said," the voting was so split". Courtney just won. Unlike the previous three before and Gretchen a year later. Looking back however, Diana Magana probably would have done better at Miss Universe than Courtney. The judges that year favored dark haired girls (4 Asians and a Mexican). Diana fit that mold unlike Courtney. Even though, Courtney was not my choice for Miss USA ( I wanted Georgia); I was pulling for her at Miss Universe. Rex Holt passed away in 2015 and Richard Guy passed away in 2019. guy said that his ultimate goal was to have a Miss Universe. Sadly, it never happened for them but did with the Crystal Group who took over after they were kicked out.
