They are 2 different pageants.

The winner of Miss USA goes on to compete at Miss Universe.
If Miss USA wins Miss Universe, then the 1st Runner Up of Miss USA becomes the new Miss USA, and the old Miss USA becomes Miss Universe!

Miss America does not go on to compete at a subsequent pageant. Miss America has a talent portion that Miss USA does not.

Miss USA gets to live in a paid for apartment in NYC (paid for by Donald Trump who owns the Universe, USA and Teen USA titles) and she shares the apartment with Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA.

And if some men decided to go looking for these 3 co-habitating lovelies, be assured that they have a live-in "den mother" as well. I read a newspaper article about it about 2 years ago!

So: Miss Ohio USA competes at Miss USA and
Miss Ohio America competes at Miss America.

All clear?
