The Sunday night, July 16th
airing of the Miss Universe pageant held at the
Shrine was the most-watched program in the US among
viewers 18-49. "In fact," said Sunkin, "I'm the
only one that got the photo of the winner, Rivera
Mendoza after she fainted shortly after winning the
crown."
On a night where the
competition were animated comedies and reruns, the
contest judging the most beautiful women in the
world won the night while beating off heavy weights
"Family Guy" and "The Simpsons".
Fortunately, even though 18
year old Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza fainted shortly
after winning the crown, pictures like this show
that she's back on her feet, healthy and happy,
just like her hometown of Salinas, Puerto Rico who
already have tshirts made and billboards to
celebrate. CONTINUED

02 - The Miss
Universe Organization /
For the
last three weeks, the Miss Universe Organization
has been hanging around the Los Angeles area -- in
part because California is the west coast home of
the event's co-owners, Donald Trump and NBC, and
the NBC Universal-owned Telemundo. Both networks
will air the show Sunday night.

At a time when most traditional beauty pageants
have passed on their crowns to reality shows, Miss
Universe soldiers on, a curiously sturdy relic of
an earlier television era.
Miss America fell off broadcast-network TV after
its 2004 pageant, a victim of low ratings. Miss
Universe captured only 9 million American viewers
last year, a fraction of the 36 million it pulled
in 30 years ago -- though most broadcast shows have
watched their numbers plummet with the rise of
cable.
The strongest viewership has been overseas,
especially in Asia and Latin America, where the
pageant is embraced like the World Cup.
"These beauty stars are huge celebrities in their
home countries," said Ellen Seiter, a professor of
television studies at USC.
The pageant has updated itself with a website and
interactive options, allowing fans to vote for the
most telegenic contestants or send them
flowers.
Although whoever reigns as Miss Universe adopts the
official platform -- to speak out about HIV and
AIDS awareness and prevention -- the pageant has
never tried to cloak its scantily clad competition
in other objectives.
"It's OK to say we're about beautiful women. It's
not a bad thing," said Paula Shugart, president of
the Miss Universe Organization. "We've changed with
the times -- you're talking to a woman who runs the
show. We're about empowerment of women."
Using three shiny tour buses to travel to and fro
from their one floor of the Wilshire Grand Hotel in
downtown L.A., the contestants are guarded around
the clock and monitored with cameras.
The women must always wear their sashes in public
and never drink alcohol, even if they are of legal
age. If they need something -- like toothpaste -- a
chaperon (or supervisor, as they are now called)
fetches it. No visitors are allowed -- no mothers,
fathers, sisters or boyfriends.
"It's kind of like camp, and it's kind of like the
military," Shugart said, referring to the daunting
task of moving her charges around town. "And what
if something happens to them? They're in our
care."
They are, of course, adults, ages 18 to 26 (which
they must prove with a birth certificate or
passport), though not all are as worldly as
Fernandez. "Some have never left home, some don't
speak English," Shugart said. "There have been some
tears."
