There is always the myth that the homestate/country representative always makes the cut. But in reality, there were many girls who competed on home soil and were excluded from the semis. Which home representatives did you feel deserved their placement, and which ones did you feel did not (regardless if the made the cut or not)?
MISS UNIVERSE:
-2007(MEXICO) - I thought Rosa Marie Ojeda did not deserve to be in the semis. Nothing special about her and she just looked dumpy to me
-2006(USA) - I thought Tara deserved to be in the semis
-2005(THAILAND)- Didn't make the cut that year. I thought she was going to, but after watching the prelims video her presentation was pretty flat and I understand why she didn't make it.
-2004(ECUADOR) - Susanna had the right moves, but I didn't find her facially attractive. Her mouth bothered me
-2003(PANAMA) - Pretty girl but nothing special about her
-2002(PUERTO RICO) - she missed the cut and I think it was because of her swimsuit presentation. The hairdo and the walk was just too much (Almost like Miss Mexico 1993 and her horrible over the top gown). 2002 was the year where many odds were defied. Many favorites (Dominican Rep, Colombia, Ghana, Jamaica), the homegirl, and even Miss USA missed the cut. I really thought the Puerto Rican crowd was going to riot, but they showed their class by keeping their cool. Unlike another Latin nation that starts with an "M"
-2001(PUERTO RICO) - From the moment I saw Denise, I thought she was a contender for the crown. Some find her victory questionable, but I think she would've won regardless where it was held.
-2000(CYPRUS) - She didn't make the cut and to be honest I can't even remember how she looked like. I don't even think she made anyone's lists that year
MISS USA:
-2008(NEVADA)- I was so-so about Veronica and wasn't surprised she wasn't included in the 15
-2007(CALIFORNIA) - Megan deserved to make the cut, even though I felt she shouldn't have been in the 5. She did break the California host curse for a MUO pageant (Before that California always missed the cut, every time the USA or Teen pageant was held there, with the exception of the Long Beach days of the 50's and 60's)
-2006(MARYLAND) - Didn't make the cut and like Cyprus 2000 can't even remember who she was
-2005(MARYLAND) - I knew Marina was going to be there, but I wasn't impressed by her USA presentation. Loved her at America though
-2004(CALIFORNIA) - Wasn't surprised she missed the cut. She was a WTF rep for my homestate of California.
-2003(TEXAS) - Wasn't surprised the Nicole made the cut. She has a fierceness to her
-2002(INDIANA) - I thought she deserved to be in the top 12 and top 5 that year
-2001(INDIANA) - Can't even remember who the homegirl was and that's probably why she wasn't in the top 10
-2000(MISSOURI) - Another year where the local missed the cut. I thought Denette Roderick was a pretty lady, but 2000 was just a strange year with the girls looking like the just came out of the shower. I still think Sallie Touissant was a victim of the whole redefined theme that year.

This will be my second Mother's Day without my mom and I know I will really be feeling blue come this Sunday. But I can still wish a 'Happy Mother's Day' to all of this board's readers to whom it might apply. This is my favorite message board to read and I visit here most days to see what's happening. Thanks for the daily dose of pageantry and enjoy your special day, all you moms!
