Without the dethronement-reinstatement drama of Venus Raj, the Asian wipeout at Miss Universe 2010 would had been repeated just like in the previous edition. Not even Thailand's aggressive fan voting (Miss Photogenic and Best in National Costume voting) nor Miss Korea's high placement at Miss World the previous year (winning the continental title) unable to prevent from this scenario.
With the exception of Venus, what really went wrong with Asian delegates' preliminary performance at Miss Universe 2010? Do you think Venus' personality and back story (especially in the Chicken wing eating contest) out-shined all the Asian delegates so she made it to the Top 15 where European delegates dominated the semifinals for the 3rd straight year?
