Inside Miss USA

Return to TMZ.comDonald Trump made the surprising announcement on Tuesday, that embattled Miss USA Tara Conner would be entering rehab, but would be keeping her crown -- a crown that no one, including Tara, thought she'd win, according to E!'s "Uncovered: Hidden Lives of Miss USA."

Originally aired in June of this year, the TV special reveals how first runner-up Tamiko Nash appeared to have the title in the bag. When it came down to the final two, Conner even congratulated Nash prior to Conner's name being called as the winner. An obviously distraught Nash can be seen in tears.

Moments after winning, Tara gets some chilly words of advice from a pageant official who says, "If you act up, you and me in the bathroom -- headlock!" Curious, isn't it?

Once Tara takes up residence in her her swank new Trump Place digs in NYC, the beauty queen states, "I want to soak up everything that I can," -- and it looks like she did! "You can sleep when you are dead ..." -- or, in Tara's case, in rehab.

E!'s "Uncovered: The Hidden Lives of Miss USA" re-airs December 20 at 6PM.

31. I see there really are a lot of crackers and oreo's on here too. You'll think I'm funny but you know I'm saying the truth and it must hurt. If a sister did the sh*t this red-neck whore did she would of been out the door, no doubt. I will not stop the fight against racism no matter what you'll say!

32. WELL, WELL NOW! HMMM! LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT AND I WANT SOMEONE TO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. O.K. WE'VE GOT THIS MISS U.S.A. WHO IS SUPPOSE TO BE REPRESENTING THE U.S.A. AS AN ACHIEVER, ROLE MODEL AND SOMEONE THAT PEOPLE (ESPECIALLY YOUNG LADIES) LOOK UP TO AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT DIGNITY AND GRACE IS ALL ABOUT, BUT INSTEAD THIS MISS U.S.A. IS OUT PARTYING ALL NIGHT, GETTING DRUNK AND GETTING SEXUAL WITH ANOTHER WOMAN. THIS WORLD HAS GONE TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET AND MORALS AND VALUES ARE A THING OF THE PAST ANYMORE. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING BAD AND BE ANYTHING BAD AND IT'S ACCEPTABLE THESE DAYS (EVEN MISS U.S.A.; WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT). AND SINCE THEIR STANDARDS ARE SOO LOW ANYMORE, THEY MIGHT AS WELL LET PARIS HILTON, NICOLE RICHIE OR LINDSAY LOHAN TAKE A SHOT FOR THE TITLE.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLY INSANE THAT THEY WOULD LET SOMEONE LIKE THAT HOLD ON TO THE CROWN. SHE HAS DISGRACED THE HISTORY OF WHAT THE PAGEANTS ARE ALL ABOUT. AND SOMETHING TELLS ME THEY ARE GIVING HER A SECOND CHANCE BECAUSE SHE IS WHITE. IT IS ALMOST A SURE BET THAT IF MISS U.S.A WERE BLACK AND HAD DONE THOSE THINGS, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN DETHRONED BEFORE IT EVEN HIT THE NEWS.

CASE AND POINT:....IN 1986 WHEN THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN EVER TO WIN THE TITLE OF MISS AMERICA (VANESSA WILLIAMS), THEY DIDN'T WASTE ANYTIME TAKING HER TITLE AWAY FROM HER AFTER THAT WENT DIGGING UP SOMETHING ABOUT HER PAST. (HER PAST, MINE YOU), IT WASN'T ANYTHING THAT SHE WAS DOING WHILE SHE HELD THE CROWN. NOW WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? ANSWER PLEASE............

WHITE PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS....RUNNING THEIR MOUTH ABOUT WHY DO BLACK PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE TO SAY THAT EVERYTHING IS RACIST OR WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS PLAYING THE RACE CARD. AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY. IT'S BECAUSE 80-90 PERCENT OF THE TIME IT IS BASED ON RACE. IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE WHETHER WHITE PEOPLE WANT TO OWN UP TO IT OR NOT.

BLACK PEOPLE KNOW THAT RACISM IS ALIVE AND RUNNING RAMPANT. BUT BECAUSE OF THE LAWS ON THE BOOKS, IT'S JUST DONE IN A MORE SUBTLE WAY THAN IT WAS DONE YEARS AGO, BECAUSE A LEOPARD DOESN'T CHANGE HIS STRIPES. BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT STUPID AND THEY CAN SMELL RACISM A MILE AWAY, NO MATTER IF YOU ARE COMING IN SHEEPS CLOTHING.

AND I SAY ALL OF THAT TO SAY THIS, AS LONG AS RACISM IS ALIVE AND CONTINUE TO REAR IT'S UGLY HEAD, WHITE PEOPLE SHOULD JUST SHUT UP BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE A-L-W-A-Y-S GOING TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT IT AND CALL IT FOR WHAT IT IS. YOU HAVE TO CALL A SPADE A SPADE AND IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK AND ACTS LIKE A DUCK, THEN, GUESS WHAT, IT IS A DUCK.

33. farrah, if you met GOD today and he asked you to repeat to him all the sickness
that you spewed today, WOULD YOU ?
WHO's YOUR DADDY, and did he have one or two horns?

34. ...hahahaha! just had to comment, Tommie. "you have to call a spade a spade..." and "black people can smell racism a mile away..." TOO FUNNY! who gives a rat's ass which one of these multiple morons gets the "crown." this is all so yesterday. whoever posted that Trump is feeding you more reality-tv garbage got it right. these women don't represent anything, except, perhaps, your desire to slap a label on them, and onto each other, losers...

38. Can someone put a stop to Tommie's long-winded, boring, pointless drivel??? Just when you think he's gone for good he shows up again whining about white people. Blah, blah, blah you stupid freak. If you don't like the racism you perceive here go back to your mud-floored hut, starving and dodging spears from rival tribesman. Otherwise cope with real life and stop blaming THE EVIL WHITE MAN for all of your problems. That excuse doesn't fly anymore, dimwit.

40. Did i touch a nerve Farrah? My ancestors tortured unruly n***** workers. Perhaps, one of your relatives? In one particular instance, tying one to a horse carriage by his feet and running it around the farm in front of the other workers until he died, screaming in agony. I have a very large painting depicting the scene hanging on the wall of my 2100 square foot home, just over the fireplace. You were unruly then and are unruly now. Slavery will return and when it does, you'll be the first one I buy.

I happily support Miss USA & Donald Trump.

41. You really know you've arrived when complete strangers copy your name in random blogs. It isn't important who holds the name as long as a peice of Jake Wheeler lives on in all of us, especially Tara.

Now let's look at the facts ladies and gentlemen. Tara's only crime is loving too much. Loving alcohol, loving nose candy, and loving Trump. Who are we to deny her love? As if none of you have ever drank underage, did coke off a strangers penis, or given a man old enough to be your father oral sex in order to climb the economic ladder. We should all be more accepting of Tara's minor indiscretions.

At least it didn't go to that damn ni

42. YEAH OK, that's racist. Come on. Give me a f***ing break. The white-trash whore won hands down, puhleeze. Give it up.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It is true that in Western Civilizations the attributes of beauty are: fair skin, blond hair, blue eyes and an hour glass figure.
I am sure that in that part of deepest darkest Africa that your ancestors hail from, you would be considered a "beauty" with your dark ashy skin, nappy hair, "black" eyes (from being punched by your pimp), and your fried-foods-with-a-strawberry-soda enhanced figure.Yes, even without the "bone-through-your-nose" I am sure you are quite an attractive sight.
Hubba, hubba!

44. Black is beautiful baby, you'll know it. The racist comments are proof that you'll are jealous. You need to stop the haten. It's not my fault you'll were born with lily white skin and have to go and spend money on tanning salons. Your white men would rather get with a sister any day. We got nice booties, breasts, lips and a 24/7 365 day of the year tan. Eat your heart outs!!!
