" Accompanying all their glamorous photos and heartfelt biographies, the official Miss USA website includes a section dedicated to &amp;quot;fun facts&amp;quot; about the 51 contestants in the running for the sash and crown at this weekend&amp;#039;s pageant. The factoids are always amazing \u2014 random, but amazing. Here&amp;#039;s a selection of the best: 1. Miss Alabama, Jessica Ahlberg  Peeta Mellark, always a kind-hearted baker. I bet he made the frosting really pretty also.  2. Miss California, Cassandra Kunze  3. Miss Utah, Angelia Layton  4. Miss Louisiana, Brittany Guidry  Look for it in the swimsuit round, if Miss Louisiana makes the top 15! 5. Miss District of Columbia, Ciera Butts  OK, not to be a Debbie Downer but I think Miss D.C. is exaggerating here. Shocker! As part of their pre-pageant activities, this year&amp;#039;s Miss USA hopefuls visited the Louisiana Culinary Institute and look, here&amp;#039;s a photo of Ciera cleaning the poop out of some shrimp.  6. Miss Maryland, Taylor Burton  7. Miss Hawaii, Moani Hara  Note: This &amp;quot;fun fact&amp;quot; is quoted, word for word, from Miss Hawaii&amp;#039;s profile page at the Miss USA website. 8. Miss Delaware, Kelsey Miller  9. Miss New Hampshire, Bridget Brunet  10. Miss Minnesota, Haley O&amp;#039;Brien  This is a thing called &amp;quot;caking,&amp;quot; apparently. 11. Miss Maine, Samantha Dahlborg  12. Miss Arkansas, Helen Wisner  Let&amp;#039;s hope Miss Arkansas gets to the final five and, in the Q&amp;amp;amp;A round, gets a toughie like, &amp;quot;What species of dragon did Cedric Diggory face in the first Triwzard Tournament task?&amp;quot; instead of some softball question about world peace. The answer, FYI, is a Swedish Short-Snout. 13. Miss Montana, Kadie Latimer  14. Miss Texas, Lauren Guzman  15. Miss Washington, Allyson Rowe  16. Miss Arizona, Jordan Wessel  17. Miss Colorado, Eleanna Livaditis  18. Miss Mississippi, Chelsea Reardon  Miss Mississippi, please get in touch. Cosmopolitan.com can never have too many pageant correspondents. 19. Miss Missouri, Erica Sturdefant  Yeah, what I think Miss Missouri is saying here is that she doesn&amp;#039;t understand the concept of a sunroof. 20. Miss Rhode Island, Christina Palavra  21. Miss Massachusetts, Caroline Lunny  22. Miss Virginia, Arielle Rosmarino  So good is Miss Virginia&amp;#039;s bubble-blowing that it landed her a $5,000 college scholarship. WHAT IS THAT EVEN ABOUT?  Miss USA airs Sunday night on NBC at 8 p.m. EST. Cancel your plans \u2014 unless you were already planning to watch the pageant, in which case keep to your plans, obviously.
