Miss USA 2013 Pre-Arrival Favorites 1 - 10

             The 62nd Miss USA 2013 will be held on June 16, 2013 at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino Las Vegas, Nevada. Fifty-one (51) contestants representing the 50 states and the District of Columbia will fight it out for the crown of Miss USA 2013 and to represent the United States at the Miss Universe 2013 at a venue and specific date to be announced by the Miss Universe Organization. The reigning Miss USA 2012 Nana Meriwether of Potomac, Maryland, who succeeded Olivia Culpo after the latter won Miss Universe 2012 will crown her successor at the end of the event. 
         Meanwhile, before the ladies hit the stage and compete for the title, photos of the 51 ladies surfaced on the web and the pageant fans and pundits including me cannot help but make their own favorites or bets for the crown before their arrival and even before they compete. Here is my own list of pre-arrival favorites for the crown.
