I just finished re-watching past editions of Miss Earth and can honestly say that I really wish Carousel will just stick to having the announcement of the top 8 as the final cut and from there the winners of the elemental and main crowns will be called.
Watching those editions were a final cut for a top 4 were made just made me feeling sad for the Miss Earth - Air winners as they were deprive of their own crowning moments; something that the winners of Fire and Water had.
Yes; I love the sight of a final two and the suspense and thrill of it all but the act of of just shoving the ME-Air winner to the side to be crowned while the entire focus of the cameras were all on the Miss Earth winner is just so disheartening.
So, unless Carousel Prod./MEO can give the ME-Air winner her moment of glory and TV exposure she deserve then it will be much better to call on the four winners from the top 8 like what they did on 2010, 2013 and similar editions.
