Jarensky represented New York in the Miss USA 2005 pageant held in Baltimore , Maryland in April 2005 . She placed in the top ten of the nationally televised pageant , which was the first placement by a delegate from New York since 2002 . Jarensky 's Graecan-inspired gown was given a lot of attention during the pageant , because of its styling , which was highly unusual for a pageant gown . During the top 10 swimsuit competition , Jarensky almost tripped and fell on the cloth of Miss California USA , Brittany Hogan who accidentally dropped it . Prior to the pageant , Jarensky appeared on a special Miss USA episode of '' Fear Factor '' with five other Miss USA 2005 delegates , finishing in second place
