    Miss Teen USA 1990, the 8th Miss Teen USA pageant, was televised live from Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum, Biloxi, Mississippi, on July 16, 1990. At the conclusion of the final competition, Bridgette WilsonofOregon was crowned by outgoing titleholder Brandi SherwoodofIdaho.[1]

    1990 marked the year that Oregon won the pageant for the second of three times in the history of the pageant. Oregon and Texas are the only states that have won more than two Miss Teen USA titles, Oregon: Mindy Duncanin1988, Bridgette Wilsonin1990 and Tami Farrellin2003. Texas: Christie Lee Woodsin1996, Danielle Dotyin2011, and Karlie Hayin2016.

    This was the first year the pageant was held at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in Biloxi,[2] where it would be held for the following four years.

    Sandy Duncan hosted the event for the only time, with color commentary by Leeza Gibbons and Miss Teen USA 1985 Kelly Hu. Music was provided by the Gulf Coast Teen Orchestra. Duncan was the first female host of an American beauty pageant.[3]

    Dolphin controversy

    In a pre-taped segment for the pageant telecast on July 2, a small group of delegates was filmed playing with dolphins in a training pool at the Marine Life Oceanarium. This led to a probe by the National Marine Fisheries Service to investigate whether the oceanarium was in violation of its permit by allowing the delegates to swim with the dolphins.[4] It was later decided that the segment would be edited so that it only showed the delegates feeding the mammals.[5]
