How the heck did Ohio win, especially after the final question. Her scores were way to inflated, but the final question should have knocked ohio out of contention.
@caravaggio31 Well it's not that bizarre, she loses the title of Miss USA because the Miss Universe title is one better, however the main reason she loses it, is because both jobs are full time jobs. There are responsibilities, tasks, photo shoots, contracts, sponsors, etc that apply to both positions, and it's impossible to fullfill all the obligations of both jobs at the same time.
Miss USA 1981 is the first Miss USA I actually care about although it had held in my hometown (Biloxi, Mississippi) since 1979... I was just 11 years old at that time....
Miss Louisiana represented the U.S. at Miss World 1981, the only time Miss USA second runner-up represented the U.S. in Miss World, when Miss USA was the official license holder for Miss World (1981-1991), from 1982-1991 it was the first runner-up who went.
Thank you for posting this pageant I love the old pageants from the 80's, what a wonderful tribute to women no matter how cheesey our latest generation of pageant contestants thinks. You have no idea what class act pageants are until you've experienced something like this. Thanks Zarly
you never can tell means you never know what will happen. which is what happened when Shawn won Miss Universe and Jineane took over the title of Miss USA
Jineane was the first runner-up until Shawn Weatherly, Miss USA won Miss Universe, so Jineane had to take her place. Jineane is so pretty and she has such a nice voice!
That comment was for the eventual 1st runner-up (1981). The outgoing Miss USA 1980 came in 2nd place at the USA contest in 1980 but was given the USA crown (by default) when the woman who WAS crowned Miss USA 1980 went on to win the Miss Universe crown (representing the USA).
The group over at Trumo Organization should spend a day watching some of these wonderful tapes from the 80's. The girls were displayed is a classy manner. The girls were classy and the pageants were a tribute to femine pulchritude. Did you hear that Donald?
She was so common... almost ugly... of course she could not believe she won!

@luizgustavolima I know the video is poor quality but you need to get your vision checked.

@caravaggio31 It has always been the case for the Miss America winners, so I do not find it bizarre.
