Subject: I agree with sending the best possible lady to compete, however it seems to me that the are trying to stack the deck with brunettes of european origin and that becomes unfair. Even when a winner is crowned she seems to have her style changed even more to try and fit some standard they believe exists. Natalie didn't win because she was dark haired,tall and from Europe she won because she was the best. Trying to send cookie cutter types hasn't been successful over the last two years so they need to go back to the girl who blows their socks off regardless of haircolor or descent.

Subject Author Date I understood Alice's win after Natalie. Alice was spectacular in her own right. She did very well at Miss Universe, and deservedly so. The problem was in picking Inga last year. Facially, she was not beautiful and predictably she did nothing at Miss Universe. I don't know why they didn't choose Ramona, who would have at least given us another semi-finalist position, if not better. It seems Inga was a fixed result. She certainly was on nobody's radar. No-one would have chosen her or even mentioned her before her win. I think a deluded MUC thought another Russian would do well. They should have opened their eyes. Natalie was a unique woman and will probably go down as one of the best Miss Universes ever. Inga was no Natalie and didn't deserve her win. (NT) Brent 02:11:32 02/07/08 Thu Personally, I thought Laura Salazar was the most stunning last year, Ramona didnt even make top 10 at Miss World so we cant say she would have been great at Universe. I feel bad for Inga, she gets attacked alot, its not her fault that MUC handpicked her to be a Natalie and she didnt live up to it. (NT) -- angie, 13:39:15 02/07/08 Thu Um, Angie...Ramona DID make the Semi Finals at Miss World. Just so you know. (NT) -- Sam, 13:54:51 02/07/08 Thu I know she made semi-finals, but shes didnt make the last cut to the top 6. Im not sure about top 10 as it isnt posted so sorry for that remark (NT) -- angie, 14:45:56 02/07/08 Thu That's still far better than how Inga did at Miss Universe, so I don't understand your point. (NT) -- A.C., 18:15:23 02/09/08 Sat My point is that Ramona didnt make the Miss World top 6 so theres no guarantee she would have placed better than Inga did, Universe is even tougher on girls than World and she only cracked first round at World (NT) -- Angie, 20:35:43 02/10/08 Sun Both Angela Visser (MU89) and Mpule Kwelagobe (MU99) both competed in Miss World and did not place. On the other hand, Katherine Sorland failed to crack the Top 10 at MU04 while she was 3rd RU at MW02. Locally, Nazanin Afshin-Jam (MWC03) failed to grab the MUC03 title but finished 1RU at MW03. The point is success/failure in one pageant does not guarantee the same result in another. The judging systems in both pageants are almost incomparable. In my opinion, Inga was a good rep that year, but Ramona was the obvious choice. (NT) -- Mike D, 08:41:26 02/11/08 Mon Thank you! Thats what Ive been trying to say but apparently Im terrible at explaining. The systems arent comparable, just because Ramona did well at one doesnt mean she would have done well at the other. Inga wasnt my top pick, but at least she did her best and I feel bad for her always being trashed on this board. (NT) -- Angie, 17:52:10 02/11/08 Mon It just seems foolish to not choose the more beautiful candidate with the proven track record. Oh well. Maybe this year. And Inga was let off easy all things considered. (NT) -- A.C., 20:21:03 02/11/08 Mon
