Going into the pageant, Catriona was the woman to beat. A few others could have stolen the crown from her but she was just unstoppable during the finals.

The top 5 was pretty strong but if it were up to me, I would have replaced Vietnam with Canada. Just my opinion.

Didn’t mind PR’s placement; I did think that Vietnam was way stronger than PR, but since they both got booted off, it became moot.

I didn’t find plastic Venezuela to be strong enough to even make the Top 10; totally undeserved placement.

Canada was tall and pretty enough, but the acne scars on the right side of her face, plus her engineering tech vocational program deliberately misrepresented as a biomedical engineering bachelor’s degree angered me, reminding me of that ugly, ugly, ugly Miss USA fake nuclear scientist’s case; was very glad she didn’t make the Top 5.

I was hoping IMG would have enough of a conscience to leave Aunty Sara out of the Top 20, but oh, stupid me forgot that the US owns Miss Universe!

South Africa’s SS score was high enough to preserve her spot amidst that epic fail of an EG performance.

Yes, both South Africa and Venezuela didn’t answer the final question. Regardless, after Philippines gave hers, there was no way any response from South Africa or Venezuela would topple Philippines at that point...


As a Canadian, I don't think Canada was underscored. I, too, was angered with the misrepresentation of her education. In fact, aside from 3 undergrad degrees, her college does not grant any other degrees, just certificate and diploma programs. Also, there is a HUGE difference between public and private universities here as almost all post-secondary institutions are public. That means most private ones are very much for-profit with almost 100% acceptance rates. As such, Maclean's magazine does not include them in their rankings at all. And to be called a "Canadian engineer" and practice engineering, you need to be licensed with an accredited undergrad program and then pass the Professional Practice Examination.

Sorry for the long rant there! As a Canadian educator, I do not condone what Marta did. [-X

I am a huge fan of Vietnam, but South Africa's performance that night was enthralling. I thought she would've won since the judges seemed to favour her right until she blew the final question. That's when I knew Philippines was going to win. Her beautiful gown and the final answer sealed it. :">

I never liked Venezuela until the final night. She has charm and a gorgeous smile. She and PR had the best smiles out of all the 94 reps.

I am also disappointed USA went through. Her short interview with Steve was so cringey! Speaking of cringey, the short interviews were filled with them! Australia's choice of a joke was baffling. Why make a pun in a non-English speaking country with most non-English speaking audience members? Indonesia's question about Steve's grandchild reeked of brown-nosing. Thank goodness for Costa Rica and Great Britain! I too am confused as to why GB didn't advance. I thought she was pretty solid.

Thank you for the review, Duchess! It was a great read.


thank u babe

Just because you have this ridiculous obsession with my nationality and obviously this forum doesn't make me any less boricua or you any more objective 8-> go troll somewhere else. Also how can I be a traitor to puertorricans if I am not puertorrican in your opinion? Atleast make up your mind

I actually agree that, as much as I loved South Africa too, Tamryn's performance that night was not really worthy of a top 5 finish!
Curacao and Canada were better choices and they out performed her in both the SS and EG.

*Costa Rica's downfall was that ugly EG. :%((

In all of her interviews and promotional videos, she always claimed to be studying for a biomedical engineering degree, which she isn't.

Miss Universe Canada is NOT enrolled in any such academic program nor is she in a path for attaining a professional engineering designation. She IS enrolled in a diploma program in engineering technology (the equivalent of a two-year trade or vocational school program in the US offered by for-profit career institutions, not by degree-granting universities) that is NOT CAEB-accredited, to become an engineering technician (or assistant). And her program does NOT have a biomedical engineering specialization, either.

She was essentially fluffing up her academic credentials by making them appear "higher" than they are (nothing actually wrong with pursuing an engineering tech credential, by the way) -- and actual engineers in Canada who had to go through the rigorous process of getting their designation and have heard of her claims are upset with her. It would be no different from a physician assistant with no medical degree claiming to be a doctor.

Somebody told me that "The Duchess" is the alternick of Nina.

She is "The Duchess" when she wants to be real and transforming into a demon "Nina" when she wants to show drama.

So in short, "The Duchess" is the "honest" version of Nina.

Hearing these words from a Boricua is a relief.

Appreciated!

I actually thought, after the Top 3 Q & A, that Venezuela will place 1st Runner Up to The Philippines. My suspicion is that, South Africa's Tamaryn Green's background as an aspiring medical student is seen as a high premium credential by the all female judges, since the medical field is anything but a glamorous job.

Don't get me wrong. I like Kiara, I find her genuine and she is free of false pretensions. BUT Canada & Curacao delivered a more stronger performance than her. Her evening gown is lack luster, predictable and didn't give her justice at all. The 4 of those girls in the Top 5, with their silver, shimmering gowns, looked like back up dancers to Catriona, wearing her red gown in the middle of the mix.

Great Britain should have been part of the Top 10 ( I suspect she placed 11th in the Top 20, with Thailand taking her spot ).

The European delegates looked like fillers. It would have been interesting if they put Miss Albania in that Top 5.

It was refreshing to see Nepal, Curacao & Vietnam in the Top 10, leaving the heavy front runners Colombia, Mexico & Ecuador as the shocking El Tucuyo awardees of the finals.

The cringe worthy speeches / moments belongs to these girls : Indonesia ( sucking up to Steve Harvey huh ) , Jamaica ( this is what happens when you memorize your speech ), USA ( embarrassing interview with Steve + " relieving the stress of clients with the lesser use of medical jargons" :%)) :%)) :%)) ), Australia ( she says something about celebrating cultural diversity, without any hint of irony, after that controversial video :%)) :%)) :%) ).

The cape slowed down the swimsuit competition .
I like prelims better ... fast paced and they strutted for a longer time .

Many girls didn’t follow Lou Sierra’s instruction not to touch the cape during the rehearsals. Ha ha

I like the bouquet of flowers .
Patterned (inspired ? ) to snake god or something .
It’s unique and eye catching .

The cape and the bouquet are the Thai touches.
It would have been better if they incorporated more like when Brazil hosted ... the girls competed in evening gown with Brazilian performers .

During the Thai Silk show i said omg Catriona has a competition with PR. If only she sustained that kind of look until final night things could have been different.

Btw, nice read. Amazing thread. Well thought out.

Three thoughts: (1) suspected all along that they had their Top 10 already. Otherwise if there really was judging going on during the Top 20 statements, with that incoherent speech, Vietnam wouldn’t have moved to the next round.

(2) USA was so undeserving of that Top 20 spot.

(3) I also would have eliminated South Africa after that EG debacle.


Even though SA struggled in E.V. round she managed to pullout a good cat walk.
Ms. Green was breathtaking and gorgeous. She cant be ignored for the next round.

Curacao and Canada were better choices and they out performed her in both the SS and EG.

*Costa Rica's downfall was that ugly EG. :%((


if Ms. Costa Rica is beautiful as S.A.
she probably aced the final question and gave Catriona a run for her money.

I honestly enjoyed reading your review. Though it was months behind, I read every word and though I do not agree with every point, I respect and acknowledge your views because there was intelligence behind it! I’m expecting this again this year, ok?!? I’m a fan of your Miss Universe and Miss Earth reviews =c3 >=p

She is "The Duchess" when she wants to be real and transforming into a demon "Nina" when she wants to show drama.

So in short, "The Duchess" is the "honest" version of Nina.

Hearing these words from a Boricua is a relief.

Appreciated!

a hundred alternicks or not, Duchess will be treated like Duchess and Nina will be treated like Nina. Paola will be treated like Paola and.....
after all is said and done, nina is the useful village jester. 8-}

It ain't that deep anyway - there are a gazillion alternicks in this forum.
