After viewing the photos, the pictures featured the girls all sorts of lingerie and unbuttoned clothing on beds and sofas. A rep for the pageant told TMZ, "We work with an amazing photographer who we really consider to be more of an artist, we trust his creative and professional instinct....The final results of the photos speak for themselves. The photos are hot, yet tasteful."

Several of the photos push the limit of nudity and are almost pornographic some are saying. There is plenty of cleavage to be seen, that is for sure!

The Miss USA 2010 pageant airs on Sunday, May 16 at 7:00PM on NBC.
