Dream Girl USA (not to be confused with ABC daytime's equally short-lived show Dream Girl of '67) was a short-lived beauty contest in which four women competed to reach the $100,000 finals.
Premise[]
Four women competed each week in a beauty contest. They were scored by four judges in four categories: Beauty and Style, Figure and Form, Talent and Personality; each category scored up to 40 points (10 points from each judge) for a possible maximum total of 160 points. The weekly winner received a tropical vacation for two and advanced to the semi-finals. Every fifth week was a semi-final with the four previous weekly winners competing with the winner receiving a Schaffer & Sons Grand Piano and a Pontiac Fiero for a prize package totaling more than $25,000.
The five semi-final winners all retuned at the end of the season for the special one-hour DREAM GIRL USA PAGEANT FINALS to determine the "Dream Girl of 1987". The grand prize winner received $100,000 in cash.
Merchandise[]
A brand of fashions dolls were released in 1986 by BBI/Ben Cooper Toys.
