When co-hosts Giuliana Rancic and Andy Cohen asked about her collection of history books, the blonde-turned-redhead replied, "I'm obsessed with the Tudor and Stuart era. Whenever I go to Barnes and Noble, I'm in the history section. That is where you'll find me. I'm a huge history buff."

Her proof? She didn't mention Thomas Jefferson or either World War: "I watch Game of Thrones. I watch Camelot. I know those are fantasy. But I also watch The Tudors. I'm a huge history geek."

Campanella will move on to compete in The Miss Universe Pageant, scheduled for Sept. 12 in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
