Miss America 2004 Ericka Dunlap will compete along side her husband, Brian Kleinschmidt, Sunday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. EST* on the season 15 premiere of CBS' The Amazing Race.

This season promises to be an interesting race and the fastest yet with contestants racing through eight countries in a span of 21 days.

The new season also introduces racers to a new twist to the show called the “Switchback”, where racers will face one of the the series' most infamous and most challenging roadblocks.

While one team is usually eliminated at the end of the first leg of the race, this season will see a couple going home even before they cross the starting line. 

Ericka and Brian will be competing against 11 other couples that include singer Mika, professional poker players, and teammates from the Harlem Globetrotters.

We wish Ericka and Brian nothing but the best on their quest to become this season's Most Amazing Racers! Don't miss it!

A PAGEANT EXPERT who has helped contestants win Miss America, Miss USA, Mrs. America, Mrs. United States, Rudd has also worked with hundreds of other titlists around the world to capture their crowns at local, state and national pageants.  Long Beach (Calif.) resident, Justin Rudd, who conducts one-on-one training sessions in his home and over the phone operates an on-line interview preparation service, has high stakes in the highly competitive world of pageantry.

 

"One of the most important aspects of a pageant is the critical interview phase which often accounts for one-third or one-half of the total score.  This oftentimes overlooked element of the pageant experience frequently becomes the determining factor in whether or not one succeeds," says Rudd.  "I operate an on-line service called The Five-A-Week Club where I help these aspirants prepare for this difficult area of competition." 

 

"It's amazing how many first-time contestants decide to wing the interview process only to find out too late how truly difficult it is to effectively communicate their point.  Most contestants have learned this lesson the hard way and that's where I step in," he revealed.  "To think that it's not uncommon to spend $1,000 on an evening gown and a lot of time and resources on swimsuit, MrsUnitedStatesquotemakeup, getting into shape, etc. it's foolhardy not to thoroughly prepare."

 

EACH WEEK, RUDD E-MAILS those who have subscribed five questions that are similar to those sprung on pageant contestants. Topics range from politics ("What bothers you most about what is happening in your country today?") to vanity ("If you could be on the cover of any magazine, which would you chose and why?").

 

"Answering these questions reveals a lot about a person's values and ideas," says Rudd.  "There isn't one correct answer to any of these questions. If the contestant can support it, it's right. I don't give answers but guidelines on how to prepare a response that's well thought out and effective."

 

Rudd has agreed to share FIVE SAMPLE QUESTIONS from his Five-A-Week Club: 

 

-  Who do you think is the greatest man in history?

 

- How can we end illegal drug and alcohol abuse?

 

- What is your worst habit?  Why?

 

susie-What magazines do you read?  Why those?

 

-What is the secret to getting kids interested in their education? 

 

Another tool Rudd recommends to clients is his "1,001 Pageant Interview Questions," a collection of 1,001 original and oft-asked hypothetical questions that come with a set of interview guidelines. The manual received a flattering review by the Pageant News Bureau at http://www.pageant.com/bookstore/#Reviews for its absence of "fluff" and "pep talks."
