Dear friends all over the world,
To me, I've always regarded Miss Universe as some pageant reputable and beautiful. It's a prestigeous event and only the great ladies make it up the stage.
This year or even last year, my heart and faith in Miss Universe shattered. I had been a fan since I was 14. I know some of you may be longer fans than myself but at 26 now, I feel that it's sad to see how things are progressing.
In Ecuador last year, I agree that many delegates from South America, Central, North are wonderful as compared to my Asian ones nonetheless only India made the cut. She's great though petite. I was sad that Japan lost the prelims and so was China. Most of them were mainly Latins. Take it as it's being held in a South American region where the popularity was higher for those Latinos. I am not being biased as I was a fan of Colombia since 1993 before and even Puerto Rico, Venezuela, USA, Dominican Rep.,Peru.....each year, certain girls are wonderful....so I vote for them.
This time round in Bangkok, through my years of viewing, I felt that some girls from Asia should at least have the honour to perform in the semis. For instance, Philippines, Thailand and Japan. I do think they deserved a spot. The Thai Prime Minister was utterly disappointed and I could feel the emotion in myself when the semis were being announced. Only---Indonesia??? I was proud of her but it was short-lived. I wonder if they ever invite a panel of 10 Asian judges and only two westerners....what will the outcome be and how will the Latins/Americans feel???
Personally, I am from Singapore and I know where out delegate stand as compared to the world. I do think some delegates like Philippines did a great job. I didn't fancy her at first and I started feeling proud of her. She did her best. I still will congratulate her. I also pity Miss Thailand. She's so elegant and transformed from a country-side looking girl to some elegant, classy beauty. Japan was my pick but I agreed that her risky gown was too much. I felt really sad till today for these ladies.
Girls like Mexico, Peru, Switzerland, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Domincan Rep., Canada and Latvia indeed deserved the spots. I think Israel wasn't great and needless to say were the half-Thai Norway, USA and Greece.
Canada --- Amazing and charming with her eyes and jet-black hair. Her body was proportioned and her walk was good. She gave a positive answer as well.
Puerto Rico --- I think she's beautiful from a distance as her face really was done too much. She's good and walk was one of the best. I did't think Miss Universe wanna promote another Denise Quiniones lookalike...
Dominican Rep.--- Whether she fixed her chin or not, it's a minor one and she's fresh and tall. She's friendly, sweet and seeing her was refreshing. She doesn't have the typical Latina-trained pageant look. I think she's natural enough.
Mexico --- She was quite a sweet and down-to-earth lady with somewhat a natural face. She didn't sway so well but her answers in English wasn't bad. She's nice to me as compared to last year's undeserving "drag-queen".
Venezuela ---- This girl was my fav after seeing her perform and her little gestures of wanting to congratulate Dominican Rep. touched me though she couldn't reach out for D.R during the top5..I think she's quite an emotional, sweet and humble Venezuelan representative. She teared alittle and her answer was so sad. It's better to ask some interesting,friendly questions than political as it's so out-dated. Maybe Air or Earth???? Just kidding...but I felt sorry for Monica as she's nice.
-------------------------------------------------------
USA walked like a mad lady with short arms and swang her head too much during the swimsuit. If she could make the 10, who couldn't Susie C. 03???
Norway was horribly made up and didn't focus while she did her evening gown segment...wasting time up there...
Israel was trying to have that seductive and naughty girl look...would be great if she tied her hair.
Trinindad Tobago is good but she has this unwilling to smile look...last year's was sleepy eyes....this year was frowning lips...
Greece I thought was ok but didn't like her plain blonde look. She's not tall and looked bulky in her gown and well....wasted another slot.
I felt so sad to see Philippines walk to collect her award. She's heart-broken as we can feel...the hypes, the press, the effort.....so was Miss Thailand.
Donald Trumph's show was exciting but it's more like an American contest like many commented. I agree. I guess it's such. Good luck to all....just sharing.
Really should have included Colombia, Thailand, Philippines, Japan, Antigua & Barbuda...Aruba was good too.
:D
Love to all

HOT NEWS!!!!!!
Elegant, classy and humble lady.
Almost perfect faced girl. She has everything,height,stunning blue eyes,smile....great blue gown!
Blonde who's photogenic and stylish. Her height and figure wowed many.
Teenish look with supermodel calibre. Great dress sense.
Press no.1 favourite as well as people.She's stunning and exotic to Asians.
You can't not notice her.She's extremely trendy and she's been an idol to the ladies out in Bangkok.
We can't leave Singapore out this time.She's witty,genuine laughter and smile that melts people.Reporter's favourite girl.Approachable and she's a sunshine.
Just being porcelain that people envy her skin.She's photogenic yet little stiff though.
Well respected for her womanly,demure nature. Tall and smart.
Similar to Singapore,this girl is sincere and smiles with her heart.Well-loved.She's close to Singapore in the personality contest.
Her gown was like awesome,making her a goddess.She's great from the Middle East.
Venezuela is dainty and has a shy-girlish appeal.Nice gown.Nice hair.
She may make the cut as she's a girl with the right attitude. Stay exotic and classy!
This girl's great with her speech and India's been a traditional favourite in pageants.She's liked by locals but she's got to train harded physically to get in.I hope she does look better on time.Best wishes.
Hope China shines with her personality as she's been overshadowed by fellow Asian girls here.Bubbly and lively,her red gown may not help her much.
Australia may make the semis but people do not really remember how she looks like.She has to do something as the pressure is on her -----reason is Australia won in 2004.
Having fans initially,she lost some positive feedbacks from locals.Being seen avoiding her fellow Asian peers during photo sessions and her interview at the Miss Universe website created a negative impression.Reportes do respect her but people see her as trying to be a top 15 too soon and her Filippina accent stretched to American accent halfway through interviews.Hard and cold compeititor at Miss Universe, Bangkok.
Miss Croatia in Thailand simply beautiful....
