Live Blogging: Miss USA 2016 Swimwear and Evening Wear Competition

Wazzup Pilipinas!

52 contestants compete in the preliminary competition namely for swimwear and evening wear at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 1, 2016 at 10 pm (June 2, 2016 at around 10 am Philippine time), to earn their spot in the Miss USA Top 15!

The event was hosted by Nick Teplitz and Miss USA 2015, Olivia Jordan. I loved the way they introduced each candidate while strutting in their swimsuit. That rhyming play of words as introduction to these beauties was quite amusing and most of the time humorous.

"You have to applaud how she helps kids abroad, Georgia!"

"She's all the rave once she hits the stage, Indiana!" 

"It's sure is grand to lend a hand like Iowa!"
"We're proud to report, you'll see her in court, Kentucky!"

"We'll swoon if we hear a tune from Maryland!"

" If you need advice on how to look nice, ask Massachusetts!"

"Making sure your spine is feeling fine, it's Michigan!
"With a knack for giving back is Minnesota!"

"If you think she's funny, you're right on the money, Nebraska!"

"Patients will flock to this future doc, Nevada!"

There's only 51 states in USA but they've added a 52nd candidate they are calling Miss 52 USA (Alexandra Miller)
