Miss Universe 2013: The Favorites fights back?

Last year almost all the favorites were eliminated (Bodine, Carolina, etc.) and some of them failed (Melinda, Marie, Elizabetha B.) to make it to the top 5. A repeat to a 2011 event where the underdogs reign supreme. Last year the 2 girls (Olivia vs Janine) left standing are the underdogs being bashed to death prior to the pageant week at Miss Universe.

With lots of 'goddesses'/favorites competing for the title, do you think they will reign supreme or another underdog will take home the title of Miss Universe?

Because some of the fans called these ladies 'goddesses' then if the these goddesses/contenders failed to place in the top 16 then they will say that this girl was robbed.

Thank you also for your opinion. Let the forumers' called which of these girls are 'goddesses' or 'plain janes/average'.

I LOVE UNDERDOGS! they are SILENT KILLERS!! people should understand that NOT ALL the judges have idea who are "frontrunners" on forums! most of them don't have time reading pageant forums, they are very busy people! i'm sure they are also thinking why would they spend time visiting misso if they can judge all the girls "UP CLOSE" and on "CLOSE DOORS" compared to most forumers who are only judging through photos and videos.. yes only on photos and videos!! NOT IN PERSON... it is still different when you see a thing/ person IN REAL.. close to you, cos you will see them in details and from there it will be easier for them to do a final decision! and judges has their own mind too, even theres a hot picks they don't give a damn about that it's just for fun.. what they're goin to do is to judge what they see in "REAL" and not because people said she's like this and like that!

and about Janine, i don't think she's an underdog.. she is very consistent in hotpicks, and i don't think its a surprise for everyone when Janine enters Top 15, if u will review the Prediction list from most forumers before the Miss Universe '12 coronation night, most people put Philippines in their Top15 list.. so somehow thats expected! the real underdog in the pageant is Brazil, Australia, Turkey, Peru, India.... those girls are not on a radar! and one last thing, it doesn't always mean that when a girl received heavy bash from people means she has no chance of penetrating, it's everybodys ballgame!

Leila Lopes was best underdog if that's case. During her time, most people/experts put her in the Top20 or Top25 but she managed to get to the top 5.
Janine was not an underdog. She was consistent in every hotpicks and showed a very solid performance in Vegas.

Janine was an underdog to me prior to the pageant week at Miss Universe in Vegas due to heavy bashing in the social media and forums but one week before she went to Vegas it was changed and became a leading contender for the crown. In case of Olivia, she was underdog because of Miss USA controversy and height disadvantage but her face is her strong asset to win the title.

She was bashed after she won the national title that at some point some of the forumers wanted her to step down but she prevail and became a leading contender weeks before she flew to Vegas.

All the Filipinas from 2010 (VENUS) to 2012 (JANINE) were considered Frontrunners, most especially VENUS (she was imho considered "THE ONE TO BEAT" in her year), in Janine's case I don't find her an underdog, she was also feared by some girls including Marcelina Zawadska!!

In response to your thread, I must say I wanna see PUERTO RICO back in the Top 5 again alongside VENEZUELA, INDONESIA is also a diamond in the rough!!

Exactly, call Bodine a goddess is an insult to the real ones, and degrading the meaning of Goddess....

Did I use the word 'goddesses' incorrect? Why lots of forumers called some of the contestants in any international beauty pageants 'goddess'?

Since when did this forum gave a legit claim that Bodine is a goddess?! She's fierce and pageant-ready but she aint a goddess.

Miss Universe seems to be veering away from being "predictable", so expect more shocking exclusions and upsetting placements and underdog victories in the years to come. But I won't mind an underdog / darkhorse winning if she owns a face that could launch a thousand ships. :-D

So I decided to change the title from "goddesses" to "favorites" because some of the forumers including me might misused that word. I don't know why some of the forumers put some of the girls as goddesses but for the judges think that they are not.
