I need to see more of NE USA. I like her solely based on the two pics on the website, which isn�t enough to base a solid opinion. I was rooting for Mimi, though. I thought she had the goods for back-to-back placements. I think SC USA is very pretty, but she�s just so petite. We�ve been proven wrong that petiteness isn�t necessarily a bad thing, so we shall see. Both Teens are IN, as far as I�m concerned! (NT) -- Groove, 18:55:51 03/07/22 Mon I think all four were pretty good choices. Nebraska is my current frontrunner for Miss Teen USA. (NT) -- PF-Indy, 19:47:51 03/07/22 Mon

Subject: Miss Universe 2021 trivia
Author: Samuel [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 20:15:03 12/18/21 Sat Since Wikipedia doesn�t allow to post trivia anymore, let me post some trivia here. Trivia on this year�s placements: INDIA wins its third title! First time since Lara Dutta in 2000! Paraguay records it�s highest placement in Miss Universe! The country last placed in 2006! South Africa places in the top 3 for the fourth time in five years! Prior to Demi�s win in 2017, the country has not made the top five since 2003. Colombia places in the top 5 for the sixth time in eight years!! Philippines places for the 12th straight year since 2010. Last top 5 placement was Catriona�s win in 2018. Puerto Rico makes the top 10 for the fourth straight year. USA places in the semifinals for the 11th straight year. Although the streak is impressive, the country has NOT made the top 5 since 2015!! This is the longest top 5 drought for USA since the inception of the pageant. The new national director, Crystle hopefully turns the table and returns USA into the top 5 (and hopefully crowns a ninth Miss Universe next year). The Bahamas places for the first time!! The country has competed since 1963 but has clapped every year until 2021. Chantel also won a special award for the country. Interestingly, the last award won by Bahamas was in 2001 (the 50th anniversary). France continues to be the main European powerhouse at Miss Universe. They record their third consecutive placement at Miss Universe. Aruba places for the first time since 1996! Interestingly, during an IG takeover, Thessaly said that she most admires Taryn who placed as first runner up to Alicia M. in 1996. Singapore records their first placement since 1987!! This is only their third placement at Miss Universe and it took 33 years to end its drought. Panama places for the first time since 2016. Japan makes the top 16 since 2015. Great Britain makes the semifinals for the second straight year. Based on placements in recent years, the country is turning into a European stronghold at Miss Universe as the country has placed four times in the last five years. Vietnam makes the semifinals for the fourth consecutive year. This is the second straight year the nation won the fanvote. Venezuela places in the semifinals after clapping in the 2020 edition earlier this year. Although the country has made the semifinals eight times in the last ten years (still impressive), the South American nation has not made the top 10 for the third straight year. To put things into prospective, the last time this has happened is from 1973-1975!! Venezuela had a very impressive streak from 1983 to 2003, with top 6 placements from 1991-2003! Brazil fails to place for the first time since 2010! The country recorded 10 straight placements since hosting the pageant in 2011. Thailand fails to place for the first time since 2014! The Asian powerhouse recorded six top 10 placements in 2015-2020 (three of them being top 5/6 placements). Only two Europeans made the semifinals, interestingly, both made the semifinals in the 2020 edition earlier this year. Only one African made the top 16 this year. Five Asians made the top 16 this year - interestingly, the semifinalists did not contain the two usual Asian suspects in recent years - Thailand and Indonesia. The eight semifinalists were dominated by the ladies from the Americas. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Correct me if I�m wrong, but since The Bahamas placed, the country that currently holds the longest record for not ever placing at Miss Universe is MALTA. Malta competed since 1968. I�m not too sure about the non active countries that once competed at Miss Universe. (NT) -- Samuel, 20:28:46 12/18/21 Sat Great trivia. I also think it is interesting that the last three Miss Universe winners all gave their country their third win. (NT) -- PF-Indy, 23:06:44 12/18/21 Sat The only Miss USA winner that I have liked in the last few years was Deshauna Barber. Otherwise, I have not liked one since Erin Brady. I have been so underwhelmed by the Miss USA winners. This year's rep is growing on me (NT) -- Declan, 03:34:56 12/19/21 Sun If you became interested in pageants during the 21st century, our MUSA�s lack of success at MU may not mean anything. BUT for this pageant fan, who began their interest with Sylvia's 1967 Universe win, the USA�s placement drought is unforgivable. The heartache of 1976 has been replaced with indifference toward our recent lack of success. Miss USA has every service available to them: coaches, fashion, makeup, interview, etc. I can only surmise it's the lack of inner effort to become MU. Let a recent MUSA tell Hayek or Fichtner the prizes are similar or that they�re tired. I�d love to hear their response. Ha! (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 09:22:02 12/19/21 Sun Venezuela always turns it up in swimsuit. she was one of the best performers, even Carson mentioned her first. She should have made Top 10 at least. -- alfonsogomes, 23:00:24 12/19/21 Sun I thought she stood out in prelims and finals. Her walk and turn was good. I think what likely left her out was her height, she lacked some height and flare to her performance (and it didn�t help that she went after Paraguay and Philippines). But, I thought she should�ve advanced over Aruba (even though she did ok actually) and The Bahamas (she did good too). (NT) -- Samuel, 00:49:40 12/21/21 Tue 2022 New Queens from KANSAS and WISCONSIN -- Samcnovr, 10:21:37 05/09/22 Mon Other interesting trivia - NONE OF THE reigning TOP THREE countries made the semifinals in the 70th edition. The last time the previous top 3 was shut off was 2010!! And the host delegate fails to place for the first time since 2013! Indonesia fails to place as they didn�t compete this year and other streaks that broke include Mexico, Peru, and Dominican Republic (NT) -- Samuel, 00:59:30 12/21/21 Tue

(NT) -- abelales, 22:31:44 04/18/22 Mon It hurts me to say this, but this board has become the most boring since it�s inception. Hardly anyone posts anything anymore, especially pictures! I was able to, but for some reason, now I can�t figure it out. I still keep track of the pageants through an instagram site that posts Teen & Miss semi-finals, finalists & runners-up. I just haven�t been posting any results because it didn�t seem like anyone cared; there were rarely any comments so I just stopped. Maybe I�ll start relaying the results now, assuming there are still USA pageant fans out there lol!!

Still no Vaeda Mann, but that doesn't mean we'll never see her compete (unless she got married or is completely done with pageants). I always wanted Jessica Carter to come back & win. I was pretty surprised she didn't place at Teen (2014, 2015?). She competed for NYUSA & placed, but that was the last time she competed.

Anyway, beautiful ladies in both divisions! This is going to be a very competitive competition.

Subject: I miss the old days when the winner of Miss USA went to Miss U and the runner up went to Miss W. How do you think ND would do at Miss W? I'll say- semi finalist because of that face and sash. But I don't think she would go much higher- I don't see the energy she would need to place higher.

North Dakota was pretty in a USA/America type of way but had she won Miss USA, I don't think she would have did a thing. Elle was Universe ready whereas ND needed some additional work. World is much more difficult to Crack into their top 30. Unless Crystle made a back handed deal, ND wouldn't do a thing. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 04:49:54 12/18/21 Sat Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think ND is stunning. She was my favorite contestant at the Miss USA pageant. Her face is stunning. I think she would have at least made the top five at Universe. Elle is a great representative for USA but she is not Universe material. That is why her journed ended in the top 10 (which is what many pageant experts predicted) As for Miss World, I don't know much about that pageant. (NT) -- Declan, 21:21:01 12/18/21 Sat ND's face was perfection but I'm not sure she has the personality for a universal title holder. (NT) -- TarHeel, 14:58:55 12/19/21 Sun Miss World is a crapshoot program, where (we all know) Julia Morley pre-selects the winner. Considering how American representatives have placed in recent years, there is no doubt Caitlyn would have continued the streak. I think Caitlyn would have done well in all phases of competition, which would propel her into the Top 10. Caitlyn is still age eligible, perhaps we might see her follow Audra's footsteps and compete in future years. (NT) -- MLB, 13:47:27 12/26/21 Sun We all know Julia hates MUO with a passion. There hasn't been an MU crossover win @ MW since Agbani Darego and that was 20 years ago. Julia would never allow a Miss USA leftover to win MW either. Also Julia is delusional if she thinks there will ever be a Miss United States World competition that will be on the level of Miss USA. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 18:43:08 12/27/21 Mon Julia is absolutely seething that MUO has not gone ahead in total number of titleholders and she has the deal with this year�s MW debacle. Julia is always looking for handouts and somehow periodically gets burned. Past incidents just this millennium include moving the pageant from Nigeria to London in 2002 and from Jakarta to Bali in 2013 and all these changes occurred after the delegates arrived. MW could have avoided this mess had the schedule been shortened. I�m also certain the Puerto Rico organizers are fuming as well because Julia is going to expect more handouts when the pageant (supposedly) returns in March. (NT) -- MLB, 03:20:54 12/28/21 Tue I meant to type now gone ahead. (NT) -- MLB, 21:55:31 12/29/21 Wed Miss World will always have better looking girls than Miss Universe. For the most part both miss world girls and gowns are miles ahead of miss Universe. I always feel like most countries send second or third or lower rate girls to miss Universe. As for March 2022, unless Julia is fitting the bill for all 500 girls to show back up, I suspect many will not. To me she should just invite the top 30. And the winner is already selected so it really is pointless (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 12:59:24 12/30/21 Thu Exactly, Mrs. Morley should Announce top 30 by now so only these girls will fly to Puerto Rico for crowning moment in March. (NT) -- Samcnovr, 23:14:58 12/30/21 Thu Thanks -- MatthewDDavis, 12:20:38 03/15/22 Tue Thanks -- MichaelMParrish, 06:47:25 03/21/22 Mon I wish they bring back the 1st RU going to MW. If not, perhaps ME. The USA's first runner up have been high caliber and can easily do very well too. Since 1992, I think Candace Brown, Danielle Boatwright, Brandy Sherwood, Lindsay Douglas, Michelle Arnette, Brittany Hogan, Morgan Woolard, Mary McCord, Yilliana Guerra, Chelsea Hardin, and Kim Layne would have done very well, if not win.

Subject: So I'm watching Miss World for the first time ever, and...
Author: Groove [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 23:02:29 03/16/22 Wed ...the music sounds like a 007 movie circa 1960; cheesy, but in a way, I kind of like it. ...am I hearing booing, even when the judges are announced? ...could the contestants be cheesier in their answers than I thought possible (when comparing to Miss Universe)? However, they are likable, I must say... ...I love that there's an orchestra there to always play the music instead of a has-been performer with mediocre talent... ...the traditional candlelight...I THINK I like it, but then again, I'm not sure if it's cheesy or if I feel like I'm watching what my university choir used to put on every Christmas time, the Christmas Vespers... ...everything seems to be very unrehearsed, from the handling of the microphone to the announcements of the finalists, to the announcement of the final question... ...the host is actually giving his own opinion on the contestants' answers??? Who does that? And I thought Steve Harvey was bad about that LOL... ...the contestants' final answers seem to have no time limit, so whatever they say, they can just keep going and going and going and...you get what I mean, right? ...I thought Miss World 2020 Toni-Ann Singh has a beautiful voice, although there were some out of synq moments... All in all, it's kind of a crazy, unrehearsed live pageant, very unlike Miss Universe. It's all weird and likeable all wrapped up into one crazy likeable show. Congratulations to MISS POLAND, MISS WORLD 2022 (or is it 2021? I honestly don't know,but congrats anyway)! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Miss World is always long and boring. But it's usually well produced. I don't know what I just watched. It was cheap and messy. I can assure you Miss World is usually a well organized pageant. This clearly was not a normal production at all (NT) -- gAgA_x, 23:20:02 03/16/22 Wed As a pageant fan, I can�t help but say the pageant is quite bland. The quality of contestants is decent but with no onstage competition (except interviews), Miss Universe remains the most entertaining and exciting pageant in the world! As for Miss World, I was rooting for Miss USA to win! And, I felt that she should�ve won! Her answers were really inspiring and she is certainly more articulate than the other 5 finalists. It�s such a shame to see USA be so close to the title! As for Poland, some say she was predetermined winner, I do think she is favored by Julia recently because of the war in Ukraine and how the country is helping the refugees!! But, I can�t deny that she is beautiful and is certainly one of the most beautiful winners facially since 2014!! Looking back, I don�t think she would�ve won in December 2021 as the war didn�t start yet and many say Julia favored another contestant (likely India or South Africa). Alas both didn�t make top 6 in the end! (NT) -- Samuel, 03:05:02 03/17/22 Thu And, what�s with all the booing in the venue? I can hear it ever since the top 12 announcement. Where did it come from?? Puerto Rico for not making top 12? Philippines not making top 6?? Why?? All the boos take away from the other guests and contestants and is so rude. Production wise, the telecast was not too strong, the channel had some black out moments throughout the telecast. And too many breaks. The pageant can be done in 2 hrs to be honest. I would�ve given the title to USA with Poland and Mexico rounding out the top 3. India should�ve made top 6/3 as well. (NT) -- Samuel, 03:05:26 03/17/22 Thu

Although the quantity is nothing to brag about, the quality of contestants is quite impressive! Last year, there were only seven who competed in Miss, and the winner still made the T15, rightfully so (Erika should've advanced to the T10, but oh well, that happens in the pageant world).

Author: Erika [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:44:50 05/31/21 Mon Watch "Miss Teen USA Crowning Moments (1983-2020)" on YouTube In watching this, 2 things are undeniable true; 1) Miss Teen USA title was awarded to states that are not powerhouses when it comes to the Miss USA title and 2) Hawaii, California and to lesser extent (Georgia, Texas and California) fared well [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
Replies:
I think for a non-powerhouse state like Oregon, having three winners, is remarkable. I do think that any state can win this pageant. As far as having a back to back state winning, I'm yet to find out who can do this. Hawaii has a chance. BTW, my favorite crowning is 2020. That was priceless! (NT) -- My Take, 19:33:49 05/31/21 Mon Oregon winning 3 titles is amazing. So is CT with two. From 1983 to Logan West CT only made the first cut once. Then Logan and Kayleigh won. (NT) -- I love it when nonsashers like OR, CT, and ND do well., 19:50:00 05/31/21 Mon Absolutely. Both smaller pageant states pulled remarkable results. I justify the non-powerhouse states faring well at Teen because in order to differentiate its brand from MUSA, the winners were meant to be less glamorous and more down-to-earth. The powerhouse states generally trained (and perhaps over-prepared) their Teen reps like their Miss reps. This is why/how girls like Mindy Duncan won the crown because she acted like a girl next door teen and not a model. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 21:03:38 05/31/21 Mon That is a great observation and I would argue that theory holds true for the entire miss teen USA history. Though, under IMG the teens have toned down alot. But during the Ali/Julie era the teens from prepared states sometimes looked older than their usa sister. Kim Harlan for example easily could have stomped on her sister Heather Hogan who didn't make the cut at usa. (NT) -- Original Rican, 17:59:49 06/02/21 Wed Kim Harlan is a great example. She looked like a cougar towering over the rest of that Top 5 back in '02. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 23:26:02 06/02/21 Wed Lol she was the ugly duckling of miss teen USA 2002. She had no business at teen and was too pretty for Miss usa 2002 and 2003. But Kim is an embarrasment, how do you move to North Dakota compete in one of the smallest states and fail to make the cut? 😂 I think she did end up at miss world but failed to miss the cut there? (NT) -- Original Rican, 00:41:30 06/03/21 Thu Let's not forget 3 other states which usually do not do too well in pageants BUT won Teen USA: NH, DE, and VT. (NT) -- !, 12:35:09 06/03/21 Thu Don�t forget Montana and Idaho. I�d throw in Colorado too to a lesser degree. (NT) -- CTtoCA, 02:01:24 02/13/22 Sun Thanks -- MatthewDDavis (Happy), 02:48:51 02/09/22 Wed Minor correction- prior to Logan�s win in 2012, CT placed twice, not once: Cynthia Schenk in �93 and Ashley Bickford in �02.

In no way should she be dressed like a Universe contestant arriving at the airport, but she should exercise some common sense. Olivia�s sister, in blue jeans and white top, is dressed better than her. (NT) -- MLB, 22:51:35 01/21/22 Fri

(NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 15:54:23 02/01/22 Tue Maye Brandt, Miss Venezuela 198O, also suffered the same fate I believe. She failed to make the Top 12 in Seoul. (NT) -- HIM, 00:57:02 02/02/22 Wed The news this morning reported the coroner's official COD was suicide. Very, very sad. A pretty package on the outside hid the concerns of the inside. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 09:38:33 02/02/22 Wed It will be interesting what comes out in the coming months. It's hard to believe that miss Universe was just a little over 6 weeks ago and she seemed perfect. And even her recent postings seem perfect. But my mom always said perfect is not good. Someone had to do something to her or she was harboring a secret. It's a sad situation.

(NT) -- Violet_Sarbloo, 15:34:04 02/02/22 Wed It's hard to understand how someone that seems to have it all gets to the point where they feel there is no way out other than ending their life.

(NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 19:29:01 02/02/22 Wed So the latest update from her mom is that she was suffering from long term depression and her mom was just made aware of recently. It's really sad. What I find interesting is the news keep calling her the oldest /eldest miss usa. That was a good part of the issue she faced at usa and Universe.

She was apparently suffering from depression. All those whack jobs at Missology are saying she took her own life because she was being bullied or she was killed. That trashy site needs to go ASAP. (NT) -- Declan, 02:34:46 02/04/22 Fri She was bullied she talked about it on her channel. Dani walker discusses it on her channel. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 11:22:55 02/04/22 Fri I did not say she was bullied. All beauty queens are bullied. I said that people on MIsso are saying she took her life because of bullying. She was suffering from high-functioning depression. Learn how to read before you respond. Thanks. (NT) -- Declan, 13:13:29 02/04/22 Fri Hun there is a plausible reason that bullying is related to her suicide that is the most consistent thing she spoke about. And there is emperical research to support the intersection of bullying and suicide. So before you jump on someone learn peer reviewed research because you talking to a black man with a Doctorate not some dummy. Nice try though. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 20:51:18 02/04/22 Fri What does the color of your skin or a type of degree have anything to do with responding to someone? Is that supposed to impress me? It actually does the opposite. This is not a study about bullying or suicide. This is about one person that took their own life. I will stick to the information that her mother provided rather than listening to a bunch of clueless pageant fans. Bullying and depression are two separate things. (NT) -- Declan, 21:39:19 02/05/22 Sat Regina King's son recently commited suicide and news of its occurrence was widely reported. I wonder if this sparked Cheslie's incentive to jump?

Subject: An Angry Audience
Author: OldFan-NewName-1 [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 08:59:07 12/22/21 Wed Many times we�ve witnessed an unhappy audience voice their displeasure. Here is one where the audience was truly unhappy with the results when Columbia was announced 3RU at Miss Universe 1978. If you listen closely, you can hear the catcalls continue when it was down to just SA and USA. Besides some of the obvious discussed on this board, can you remember others?

I always get a kick out of the audience reaction. At the 1971 Miss Universe pageant, the audience went wild with excitement when Brazil and Puerto Rico made top 5. (NT) -- WilliamNYC, 23:08:39 12/22/21 Wed I remember that pageant. BB had to calm the Brazilian fans down. They became very quiet when she was called 4RU. I didn't think she was all that. I might have gone with England. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 11:37:37 12/23/21 Thu I also liked France that year Myriam Stocco. (NT) -- WilliamNYC, 00:48:47 12/24/21 Fri Yes, I liked France, too. Michele looked out of place with her young age. Even though she and Georgina were the same age, Michele came from a little town in PA while Georgina was living in a war-torn country. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 10:42:14 12/24/21 Fri Interesting this pageant was held in Mexico, the site of other angry audiences. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 10:58:04 12/24/21 Fri I don't recall the audience in Cancun 1989 behaving badly. Mexico City 1993 and 2007 were the worst. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 18:45:17 12/27/21 Mon I forgot all about 1989. Yes, that audience was respectful and polite. Of course, nobody could deny Angela's win, plus Mexico was 4RU. In 1978, unlike 93 and 07, the audience did not turn on Judi, they were upset with the judges. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 18:57:07 12/27/21 Mon Miss Universe 1978's crowning is so awkward to watch. It is very clear what's going on, with Bob Barker assisting in placing the crown on her head (and no real interaction with the outgoing queen). (NT) -- SeminoleNation, 17:37:53 01/20/22 Thu There is also other issues here. The first Black miss Universe is crowning a white girl from an African country/apartheid (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 12:07:55 01/21/22 Fri YouTube comments underneath "Miss Universe 1978 Crowning" indicate Janelle was told SA was the winner and was further instructed not to hug or kiss Margaret. That's why Janelle spends so much time adjusting the sash. Interesting theory. Can anyone confirm? (NT) -- Balty_Toth, 16:04:38 01/23/22 Sun I've read and heard lots of things about this pageant, but I never heard that. Janelle did share in a radio interview recently that she felt SA was the clear winner after she met all of the contestants in MX, but instructed on how to handle the crowning was not something I've been aware. She might not be a very demonstrative person. At her crowning, there was little interaction between she and Rina, except for a small kiss on the cheek by Rina.

Delaware and Montana respectfully disagree. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 21:15:58 01/03/22 Mon Isn't Montana the sole state to never make the cut? (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 22:40:58 01/03/22 Mon Every state has made the cut at least once at both Miss Teen USA and Miss USA. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 23:53:19 01/03/22 Mon So in your research, what state has had the least number of USA/Teen placements. If there's a tie, who placed the lowest? (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 11:19:59 01/04/22 Tue Delaware has made the cut once @ Miss USA, Top 11 in 2015. Montana has made the cut once @ Miss Teen USA, winning in 2006. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 20:22:19 01/04/22 Tue In my mind, Teen does not exist. So to me, Montana is most cursed, as I stated above. And as I also posted, I'd put AZ in that group. AZ hangs around near the top sometimes, but can't pull it off. Think of the number of times AZ has been in the top 5. That's rough. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 06:42:01 01/05/22 Wed At least Delaware and Montana have won Miss Teen USA. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 23:52:51 01/03/22 Mon Ok, I'll give you that point. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 11:15:13 01/04/22 Tue I might consider AZ to be part of this group, even with 1980. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 11:17:12 01/04/22 Tue I would say Georgia is a cursed state. For a state that always places and has had numerous runners up they can't seem to win either Miss or Teen. (NT) -- PF-Indy, 14:19:53 01/05/22 Wed I agree with you regarding GA. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 16:37:17 01/05/22 Wed I was trying to think of the most populated state to never crown a Miss USA- taking over the crown doesnt count. Would it be Florida? (NT) -- TarHeel, 12:29:45 01/06/22 Thu Yes, FL. Interesting how three of the least populated states have won titles: VT, DC, and RI. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 09:48:31 01/12/22 Wed Audra Mari is newly engaged to soap star Josh Duhamel. I wonder if her wedding dress will have a distracting white zipper running up its side? (NT) -- Balty_Toth, 11:53:52 01/09/22 Sun I'd add Maryland as a contender for cursed state. An original winner in 1957, no one really considers that a win because she was dethroned within days. Then in 2012 Nana Merriweather inherits the Miss USA title after Olivia Culpo wins Miss Universe and no one considers that a win for Maryland. Two Miss USAs but neither are recognized as official winners. (NT) -- Violet_Sarbloo, 17:21:46 01/09/22 Sun I don't agree about Maryland. If that were the case any inherited state win would not count and Shanna Moakler proclaims herself as Miss usa 1995 as does the others. I will say of all the inherited winners, Nana was the most boring. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 07:47:17 01/11/22 Tue I don't consider inherits as counting because in the end, those MUSA's that won MU beat the others at USA. It's random on which MUSA becomes MU. Leona Cage won, but Nana Meriwether did not. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 09:03:21 01/14/22 Fri I thought Nana was a very deserving 1st RU and I was happy for her when she became Miss USA after Olivia's win. Actually, for me, I thought that Nana ascending to the crown was the only good thing that came from Olivia winning Miss Universe as I will always believe that Olivia's Universe win was underserved. I was also happy for Shanna, as I was rooting for Chelsi to win Universe. (NT) -- SeminoleNation, 17:32:49 01/20/22 Thu It's interesting because I sometimes feel like had Shanna won we would not have even placed top 10. Shannon in 92 barely made it in but she was a bleach blonde that fit the mold of white beauty in the early 90s. 95 Universe was competitive and Shana came across young. To that point, chelsi did not easily win? And Shanna /chelsi is my favorite usa/usa duo (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 12:11:43 01/21/22 Fri I agree that Chelsi's win was a combination of work on her part and the fall of the chips. T&T's Top 6 answer knocked her out and Canada's poor final answer did her in. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 13:33:23 01/21/22 Fri

Except for 1952 and 1962, I watched all of these crownings live. I liked Alberta in 1972, but knew the time was not right. Kerry Anne was beautiful. 1982 was the �computer error� year with VA being knocked out of the Top 5 and replaced with KY and of course, the whole Odette SS incident. I was good with Karen, though. Shannon was on fire at MUSA, but was lost in that MU field. The contestants loved Michelle. By the time Brooke got to Universe, her name was already being thrown around as a favorite and she did not let down one bit. I never liked Shauntay or Oxana. And Olivia, well, I was surprised, but not disappointed. I have to throw a shout-out to 55 years ago: 1967-Sylvia Hitchcock-She was one of the best MUSA and MU winners ever, imo.

Date Posted: 12:11:29 10/11/21 Mon

Aspiring beauty queens crashed the Miss Universe UAE website hours after the historic pageant was announced on Thursday.

Josh Yugen, president and national director of Miss Universe UAE, said they�ve now received more than 12,000 applicants for the contest. The auditions are set to take place on Friday.

�We had thousands of applications in the first hour and our website couldn�t handle it,� he tells The National. �I knew we were announcing something historic, but I didn�t expect such a response.�

Yugen, whose company Yugen Events has been chosen to select the first UAE representative for the global beauty contest, says he�s also encouraged by the quality of applications, which also includes a number of Emiratis.

�It just goes to show how so many people have been waiting for such a global platform to come here,� he says. �The pageant has been going on for 70 years and for the first time, we will have a representative from the UAE.�

Paula M Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organisation said last week: �I could not be more pleased to welcome the first-ever representative from the UAE to our globally televised event in December.

"The UAE is marking a very important time in its history, from the signing of the Abraham Accords to hosting the Expo 2020 Dubai, and there has never been a better time to shine a spotlight on the women residing in this country.

And in the pic above, TX looks like an emaciated Susan Lucci lookalike and I want nothing more than to tear that Flintstone's Dino sleeve off SC's gown. FL is the only contestant I feel could have perhaps narrowly squeaked into Top 5 but I doubt it would have happened. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 18:52:48 12/13/21 Mon North Carolina. I find her the most beautiful amongst the finalists. (NT) -- sapient_101, 19:41:32 12/13/21 Mon Completely agree- definite Top 10 and likely Top 5� (NT) -- CTtoCA, 19:49:33 12/13/21 Mon �and funny thing is she�s head and shoulders above the NC girls that actually won- Chelsea, Kristen and Cheslie. (NT) -- CTtoCA, 19:50:43 12/13/21 Mon She is definitely striking and I have to admit I was a little surprised she didn't make Top 4. Her gown was intriguing. I'll copy Julie Moran from MU 2000 when discussing Claudia Moreno's seafoam green and silver tinsel dress by saying, "I didn't know if I liked it at first but I think I do." (NT) -- MU_Critic, 08:28:12 12/14/21 Tue I'm really surprised by the North Carolina hype, I thought she was plain and I didn (NT) -- gAgA_x, 18:49:59 12/14/21 Tue t think she deserved to be in top 8. She performed well but in my opinion she was very ordinary looking girl next to gorgeous faces. I guess it's a matter of taste, but still I'm really baffled cause I don't see what most seem to see in her face. (NT) -- gAgA_x, 18:51:35 12/14/21 Tue That's how I feel about ND. I know many on here love Caitlyn and her parallels with Audra Mara are uncanny. However, I just didn't get her on finals night. I think the super straight blunt cut hairdo is what unnerved me. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 18:58:45 12/14/21 Tue North Carolina. (NT) -- Balty_Toth, 19:59:02 12/13/21 Mon Side note love seeing Elle's Proctor Productions sisters Miss Congeniality (Michigan) and Miss Photogenic (Pennsylvania) reacting excitedly to Elle's win! (NT) -- ValeneEwing, 20:19:42 12/13/21 Mon They seem elated. Even Gracie is cracking a smile in the back. lol (NT) -- MU_Critic, 08:28:57 12/14/21 Tue It�s great that they all were happy for Elle! This photo captures a really beautiful moment in pageantry. As for the question, I actually was thinking about that last night!! I think none of them would�ve made top 5 because they all lacked some stage presence/catwalk. Maryland arguably had better stage presence and catwalk but she is not as facially strong. Before hearing Q&A, I feel North Carolina would�ve done well for her height and stage presence but after hearing her talk in finals, I don�t think the judges would�ve been as impressed as they would with Elle. Hence the conclusion is, as much as Crystle tried to train them, there isn�t really any Miss Universe worthy ladies in this year�s group, if Elle couldn�t make top 5, I don�t think the others would�ve as they also lacked something (facial beauty, catwalk, interview, etc.) (NT) -- Samuel, 20:37:44 12/13/21 Mon Well said! I also think Elle's "micro/macro" answer clinched it from anyone else if the judges were still on the fence. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 08:33:34 12/14/21 Tue micro/macro answer was super scripted for Elle, India said it with heart, class, and intelligence (NT) -- lin8tiv, 16:58:20 12/14/21 Tue Elle was stunningly beautiful. I don't think anyone would have done better. Let's face it. Elle's EG choice for Universe finals was BLAH!. I was hoping for something more fashion forward, flesh color. I also prefer her hair down (NT) -- SparkyP, 21:11:31 12/13/21 Mon I honestly think she most likely had a nude gown in her wardrobe but perhaps after seeing how many nude illusion gowns were used during prelims the strategy was made to go with something that would make her stand out. While I didn't like the final gown she chose, I will say my eye went directly to her when the Top 10 were standing side by side in EG. But I still think she looked better at MUSA. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 15:04:29 12/14/21 Tue They were touting how the gowns are from Michael Cinco. Honestly, if not for the name, I don't think anyone would have cared about her gowns. Maybe her gowns were not custom made for her and was just some old season dresses he made before. (NT) -- sapient_101, 00:28:23 12/15/21 Wed I never understood the whole Michael Cinco craze. As of today, no one has ever won wearing one of his gowns. As a matter of fact, he seems to curse the ladies who sport his dresses during prelims. lol Due to the short time between MUSA and MU, there would have been no time to have a custom dress for Elle made, so I agree with you that it was probably some deadstock frock he had in the closet somewhere from a previous season. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 10:00:18 12/16/21 Thu Two reasons why I think. 1) Styling - yes she should have gone a little bit more risque. She had that personality to carry it off. Gold actually looks good on her. Her hair should either be left down, or perhaps sleaked back as she has a very beautiful face. 2) Tired. After just winning the Miss USA crown, she then had to rush and compete at Miss Universe, which was more overwhelming. I'm sure she was performing on auto pilot. (NT) -- PP8, 23:20:12 12/13/21 Mon There is a pic of Elle with a ponytail extension and she looks so fierce. I really wanted her to sport that look for SS but obviously, it wouldn't be in line with MUO's current agenda. I do like her curly locks down as well. But yes, with so little time to prepare, they had to work quickly instead of experimenting with different looks. CLICK INSIDE for ponytail pic >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -- MU_Critic, 10:35:07 12/14/21 Tue I think both NC and NC would have made it to the Top 10. Elle should have worn the dress she wore at Miss USA or one of similar styling and color- it was perfect for her. I seriously doubt she wanted to win Miss U. I'm sure she wanted a respectable placement but she knew being Miss USA would be more to her benefit. (NT) -- TarHeel, 14:22:07 12/14/21 Tue Duh.. That should have said NC and ND. (NT) -- TarHeel, 14:25:26 12/14/21 Tue Now that MUSA has a better prize package than MU and travelling across the US is much easier than travelling abroad due to Covid, any incentive (other than bragging rights) to win MU has gone down the drain. I wonder how this will play out in the future when it comes to MUSA winners at MU. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 14:44:46 12/14/21 Tue No doubt if you look at India , Pennsylvania would have made top 3 or 5, people said boring for P @ USA, but India was just smooth and graceful. Confident...exactly what PA showed @ USA. The finals judges would have seen that, very different than prelim judges (NT) -- lin8tiv (Hands down PA!!!), 16:56:28 12/14/21 Tue What are all your thoughts as to why PA didn't place in the Top 16? She won Miss Photogenic and is clearly lovely and well spoken. What do you all think happened? (NT) -- MU_Critic, 18:47:30 12/14/21 Tue She looked bit unhealthy and bony, that might have been the reason. (NT) -- gAgA_x, 18:54:59 12/14/21 Tue What were you watching? Teen maybe not Miss!! (NT) -- lin8tiv, 18:59:33 12/14/21 Tue PA had the same look Campanella did at MU. In 1971, USA organizers had Michele loss 10 lbs. right then and there. She was worn out. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 09:02:52 12/15/21 Wed One thing I noticed about PA is that she kept changing her hairstyle quite a bit. It was fluffy in during the intros (a look I personally did not care for) but she gradually slicked it back as we see in the image above. I still prefer the way she styled her hair in her official headshot most. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 10:03:04 12/16/21 Thu A clear cut path for who they wanted to win, no doubt even in dress rehearsals she would be a real contender!!!...the only one ( besides KY) that could stand out at MU...keep her out of the semis, then there is no chance to disrupt the chosen one (NT) -- lin8tiv, 18:58:39 12/14/21 Tue I was never happy with KY. She was not on my radar. During Mock MUSA, I kept seeing her advance and would think, WTF! (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 08:19:38 12/16/21 Thu LOL! Who was your pick to win? (NT) -- MU_Critic, 10:03:31 12/16/21 Thu My final three were PA, ND, and IL with PA for the win. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 13:06:38 12/16/21 Thu Just like Sushmita Sen during her I AM SHE pageant, Crystle made sure she was the star of the show. How many times did she get a camera close-up, speaking opportunity or ended up on stage? lol Only difference is she didn't suspend from the ceiling lip syncing a song like Sushmita. :)) (NT) -- MU_Critic, 10:04:54 12/16/21 Thu Absolutely!!!! PA was in the corner...so that says it, back to my thesis earlier...same old same new..sad (NT) -- lin8tiv, 12:37:54 12/16/21 Thu I think North Dakota would have made at least top 5 at Universe. She was the most stunning woman at USA. I knew when Kentucky won that she would not go beyond the top 10. (NT) -- Declan, 16:25:50 12/17/21 Fri Miss USA 2021 had two shockers for me. Sydney Robertson missing the cut entirely, and Gracie Hunt being cut at Top 16. Then again, Sydney didn't stand out during prelims and Gracie was very mechanical in her presentations. In the end I don't dispute Elle Smith's win. (NT) -- Basketball_Fan, 14:12:48 12/18/21 Sat Sydney totally stood out @ Prelims!! Besides Elle, you could spot her anywhere on stage. Stunning elegance, MIss Photogenic..a BIG whiff here for Miss USA, Finals night Judges would have had her and Elle as 1 & 2!!!! Prelims judges were jokes... (NT) -- lin8tiv, 12:07:35 12/21/21 Tue I live in Lexington, KY & went to the University of Kentucky for undergrad. I've watched every Miss USA since 1971 (when KY USA was 4th ru). Elle winning Miss USA still seems surreal. (NT) -- Balty_Toth, 15:52:34 12/24/21 Fri Patricia Barnstable: The Twin. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 17:11:33 12/24/21 Fri Yes! Glad you remember. She & her twin, Cyb, went onto fame as Doublemint Twins. They also appeared in a short-lived sitcom titled "Quark." (NT) -- Balty_Toth, 19:43:32 12/24/21 Fri I thought she might win, but was rooting for PA. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 19:49:04 12/24/21 Fri

She is def not homely. You must be a racist or have some prejudice towards Asians. Why is this imbecile even on this board? Someone that hides behind their computer and calls people ugly? Grow up.

What is your jackd? We can talk like real ladies ❤️ (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 00:22:57 12/19/21 Sun I did say her gown was cheap and her body was not good. That is an opinion. I did not call her ugly. That was also a response after you called me a racist. Sorry. Did you get triggered because I just accused you of something without any tangible proof? Kind of stupid, eh? (NT) -- Declan, 03:26:23 12/19/21 Sun The one thing I always liked about Miss America was you never really knew who was going to place.

Subject: (THE) BAHAMAS - FIRST TIME PLACEMENT
Author: MU_Critic [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 00:20:04 12/13/21 Mon History was made when Chantel O'Brian became the first delegate from her nation to place at MU 2021! The Bahamas has participated at MU from 1963 to 2021 having not sent a delegate for only 2 years within this period in 1973 and 1984, respectively. It's always great to see new countries get some limelight at a contest that has "Universe" in its title. However, which statement below would best describe how you feel about The Bahamas finally placing: A) I am happy The Bahamas finally broke their clapping streak B) Chantel deserved to be the first delegate from her country to place based on her performance C) Both A + B D) I am unhappy that Chantel placed, as her spot could have gone to another delegate whom I found more deserving Last edited by author: Mon December 13, 2021 03:38:04 Edited 2 times.

Bahamas is the true miss Universe winner. She won the carnival award and made top 10. That is beyond impressive and makes history! She genuinely had fun on stage and I loved every moment of it. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 04:53:19 12/13/21 Mon She was definitely a huge silver lining to this disaster edition! I was also rooting for Honduras but she didn't come across as warm as others. BTW, did DR ever end up going on her Covid cruise last year thanks to her award? lol (NT) -- MU_Critic, 12:54:26 12/13/21 Mon loved seeing her and aruba reach top 10!!!

(NT) -- PF-Indy, 12:24:08 12/13/21 Mon I really liked how Aruba's hairstyle paid homage to Taryn Mansell's hairdo back when she placed 1st RU in 1996. The yellow pleated train on Colombia's gown also reminded me of Verna Vasquez's telecast EG in 1997. These are the sorts of small things I hold onto to keep from going insane due to modern pageantry. lol (NT) -- MU_Critic, 12:57:30 12/13/21 Mon Good observation. Aruba had her hair pulled back in a hair net for gown. I saw the Twitter, love it. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 14:52:46 12/13/21 Mon Do you think The Bahamas was an MUO pick or did she make the cut on her own merits (voted in by the prelim judges)? (NT) -- MU_Critic, 13:09:23 12/13/21 Mon I think she was picked by the judges. She seem to be very warm and cheerful which could have endeared her to the judges. She is also pretty so with a pleasing personality, I don't see how hard it would be to select her to move to the next round. (NT) -- sapient_101, 13:56:02 12/13/21 Mon Ironically, of all the girls in the top 15,i actually think Bahamas is one of the few who made it in on her own. She was very charismatic and natural. I would also include Aruba on that list. There is not a chance in hell you can tell me Singapore, Japan, Great Britain all got in on they own unless interview is 90 percent? Philippines was a Paula pick, compared to the other girls who made the cut, Bea performance was not that strong. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 14:51:46 12/13/21 Mon Not to discount Singapore's placement, but I read from IG pages that MUO peeps do like her. So yes, maybe she is also a Paula / MUO pick. In any case, it is refreshing to see a non-sash country get called. (NT) -- sapient_101, 15:12:20 12/13/21 Mon Singapore looked like Peter Pans brother. The worst swimsuits body in the top 16. There were at least 10 other non sash girls who would have been better. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 17:20:13 12/13/21 Mon Japan was my WTH semifinalist this year. She wasn't in my Top 50 and I have a hard time believing that the judges voted her in based on her prelims performances. Could this be an example of a franchise contract up for renewal and a dangling carrot to coax the director to re-sign? (NT) -- MU_Critic, 15:24:49 12/13/21 Mon Japan (probably like Singapore) did well in interview. Japan looked like she spoke perfect English? But if both were Paula picks, this shows a major flaw in Why Paula should not be picking anyone. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 17:22:25 12/13/21 Mon Japan is or was studying in the US so she speaks English very well. (NT) -- sapient_101, 19:48:50 12/13/21 Mon I will never understand why there is such a huge focus on prelim interview. If you think about it, only 5 of the women who make the semis (whether it is a Top 15, 16, 20 or 21) will get a chance to speak. Therefore, all those "tremendous speakers" who look frumpy dumpy in SS and EG get guillotined and so those spots are essentially wasted. They should give equal weight to SS, EG and Interview like they used to. It makes for a well-rounded winner and overall pageant. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 09:12:14 12/14/21 Tue Chelsi, Brooke, and Lara all were interview queens. How were their swimsuit and gown scores? I agree as well, interview should count less in preliminary, as far as I concerned they could get rid of interview. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 10:07:13 12/14/21 Tue Of the 3 you mentioned, Lara was the most well-rounded in terms of rankings having ranked 1st in SS and 4th in EG. Brooke ranked 3rd in SS and 4th in EG (both were gifts imo). Chelsi was 1st in SS and 7th in EG. Brooke and Chelsi won Top 10 interview and Lara still owns the highest televised score for Top 5/6 Q&A. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 10:25:12 12/14/21 Tue Scores shown for the winners of MU 1995, 1997, 2000 during the broadcast. See inside. -- Basketball_Fan, 14:08:55 12/18/21 Sat Hmm...I'm going to rock the boat with all of the responders. The preliminary interview is crucial. It's the one place where, if the judges are the same for preliminary and finals, a great preliminary interview can be remembered by a judge all the way to the crown. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 17:58:37 12/18/21 Sat Miss Bahamas had no business in that top 16. (NT) -- Declan, 16:35:58 12/17/21 Fri I disagree. Unlike Ghana 1999 who looked completely out of place, Bahamas was charasmatic and had a special aura about her. Both ss and gown were fair. Ghana on the other hand looked a hot mess. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 17:06:44 12/17/21 Fri I was not born in the late 1900's. That is not relevant to me. They didn't even have Hi- Definition or WiFi back then. I am talking about the modern era, 2021. And Bahamas looked out of place in that top 16. Her body was not good. Her dress was cheap. Just because you have an "aura" and "charisma" does not make you worthy of a top 16 placement. Her "aura" looked like she was eye-humping the camera. (NT) -- Declan, 15:37:23 12/18/21 Sat Lol 1990s is modern era dumb ass. The academic term is contemporary and that is anything post 1980s. And if you want to focus specifically post 2001, there have been numerous girls who had no business in the cut. I just think you are racist. Bahamas was well above Singapore who looked like Peter Pans brother. If you go join a message board, learn who run this. You are another Brian J, the sovereign reject who think they know pageant history. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 17:59:03 12/18/21 Sat You should reread your response. Do you realize how sloppy you sound? Did I bring up pageant history? Did I bring up racism? I said the Bahamas did not belong in the top ten. So, before you come at someone and accuse them of being a racist you should probably have some concrete proof. Otherwise, keep hiding behind your computer like creature you are. If you're referring to the 1900's....that is old to me. Technically the "modern era" of the Miss Universe pageant would have started in 2003. (NT) -- Declan, 21:12:45 12/18/21 Sat I love you boo 😂 (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 00:20:10 12/19/21 Sun My short list for Mock Miss Universe had Bahamas. It also had Japan. So I'm happy with both of their placements. I am So over MU picks. Many of them take up space. Let the judges select all the SF. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 18:01:32 12/18/21 Sat The bigger issue is that we don't know how many picks Paula has. To date, I have not seen anything in writing or by laws and no one has questioned this policy. So as fsr as we are concerned, paula could pick them all. And I doubt Vietnam won the fan vote that is usually won by Thailand (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 18:45:09 12/18/21 Sat This is true. We don't know how many SF are Paula's picks. This all started because Ukraine did not place in 2004. (NT) -- OldFan-NewName-1, 09:34:30 12/19/21 Sun Japan had a great gown presentation. I think she got in on gown and interview. Her SS was not good in my opinion. Too bad she didn't get a chance to showcase that awesome gown on finals night though. (NT) -- Declan, 21:17:50 12/18/21 Sat I have a 'pull for the underdog' mentality, so I was really rooting for Japan and especially Morocco after gown prelims. I was tired of 'nude lace doily/barely enough glitter to cover the bits' gowns in 2010, enough is enough. (NT) -- JustM, 15:08:27 12/19/21 Sun

Agreed. I don't care for tats either yet they're all the rage now. How many drugged up guys in mainstream media are sporting facial tattoos nowadays and those weird ones on their fingers and knuckles?! I just Googled and found that Bea got her arm tat on her 23rd birthday. It's supposed to signify rebirth and regrowth but I found it distracting and gimmicky. (NT) -- MU_Critic, 14:55:57 12/13/21 Mon I am on with tattoos. But I am not ok with men competing at beauty pageants. I am still vomiting over that drag queen from Nevada. And at least he was more believable than that beast of pray from Spain. Ridiculous! (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 14:59:27 12/13/21 Mon What I find hilarious is that the Pinoys were all excited for NV to place and win completely ignoring the fact that Crystle is a God-fearing Christian who publicly stated that she wanted each contestant's "God-given attributes" to shine. NV never stood a chance and even if Crystle was supportive, Shanna's OnlyFans account would have still ruined things. lol (NT) -- MU_Critic, 15:13:43 12/13/21 Mon You are right on all accounts. I do think Nevada would have made the cut under IMG. While I enjoyed Miss USA, it was all over the place. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 17:11:33 12/13/21 Mon Remember when Miss Kenya sported this peel and stick tattoo on her forehead back in MU 2005? CLICK INSIDE for pic >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -- MU_Critic, 15:18:44 12/13/21 Mon Just give it a few more years. You�re going to have tat covered, purple hair, multiple piercing Megan Rapinoe types not just competing, but winning. Then all these elitist traditional looking beauty queens that have been cramming diversity down our throats are really going to have their panties in a twist.

(NT) -- MU_Critic, 15:45:49 12/13/21 Mon I actually like this year's Miss Philippines, she's not the typical pageant patty woman Philippines usually sends, like you know those women who answers the question sounding rehearsed with a patty end liners, this candidate is not like that and I appreciate that about her. She's a breathe of fresh air from the usual manufactured girls this country previously sent. I think her placement is justified and just right. Heck I even find her much natural and genuine than Catriona (NT) -- Lurker, 21:08:46 12/17/21 Fri I agree on all accounts. Bea was a breathe of fresh air. For me, perhaps because she was full Filipina, at least I think? She was not robotic. Many compared her preliminary performance to that of a miss america girl which worked in her favor. She was not over the top. I do think she was a Paula pick though. As for finals, she did a great job. Rabiya still gives me nightmares. And pretty much all them Filipina reps since 2010 have been horrid. I can only stomach Pia. Catriona was a robot and a Julia reject like Andrea. (NT) -- OriginalRican22, 23:02:51 12/17/21 Fri Rabiya's campaign was definitely a fail. I feel bad for her though, she had so much potential when she was crowned at nationals. She already has the face but the people behind her went too much on her packaging and made her robotic. Plus, she seems really naive in the industry too, I think it would been perfect if she was crowned in her late 20s. It could've given her added mental strength and maturity, something she wasn't able to handle last edition. I also think no one is beating India and she is always MUO's pick since they all landed on Israel, but Bea may be for the 2nd place in case India fails which is unlikely. However, I kinda see why they would pick Bea if your assessment is true, her win would make a great headline material for the organization. Regardless, I still think MUO did a great choice on crowning India because I feel like are overdue for a win (NT) -- Lurker, 05:00:05 12/18/21 Sat I don't think tattoos in general are tacky. I actually have one myself. However, I do think they should be covered up under certain circumstances like the Miss Universe pageant. Miss Philippines tattoo did come off as tacky. It reminded me of T&T from 2008. Her tattoo was so distracting. I just don't usually care for Philippines in general because they're stuffed down our throats every year. I also thought that this year's rep was copying off the gown styling of Thailand 2016. Her top 5 placement is a head scratcher for me. (NT) -- Declan, 21:27:09 12/18/21 Sat
