Subject: Evelina and Denise tied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got off from talking to a friend who was lucky enough to attend both the pageant and the coronation ball. She was able to ask for the autographs of the two “supermodel” judges, Veronica Webb and Mini Anden. She casually asked them who they voted for and both of them said GREECE.

Later, she and a group of friends were able to chat with an Ernst & Young accountant (but not the famous Mark Ward) and he said that PUERTO RICO and GREECE actually TIED during the final vote. He told them that Dayanara Torres, Marc Anthony, Richard Johnson and Tyson Beckford voted for Denise while Mini Anden, Marc Bouwer, Veronica Webb and Kel Gleason all went for Denise. Interestingly, all the Puerto Rico votes came at the RIGHT side of the panel while the Greece votes were at the LEFT side. It was almost like there was a judging faction.

Now according to the rules given to them, the delegate who scored highest during the semifinal round would win and in this case, it was Denise. He also told them that INDIA was pretty much unanimous for fifth while there was also a tight battle for third between USA and VENEZUELA but there was no tie between them.

I remember a similar thing being reported before when Wendy and Veruska apparently tied in 1998. As a tiebreaker, the scores during the Top 5 round was used and Wendy won. This year, however, the Top 5 round was NOT scored so they used the Top 10 round scores.

Now, can anyone verify this? Before anyone jumps to conclusions, I’d like to point out that this just came from an accountant’s mouth. But then again, why would he lie? He told them that the results were NOT confidential as it can be requested for by the pageant directors. So I’d like to ask anyone there if this is true.

If it’s true, then I’d say it was such a shame that there wasn’t a cut to 3. I think GREECE would’ve outscored PUERTO RICO during the Top 5 round had it been scored. But that’s the way the pageant went so we’ll just have to wait another year to do this all over again.

But my question is, why doesn’t the Miss Universe Org. just have an ODD numbered panel of judges? This would solve a lot of problems.
