I was supposed to review the Miss Supranational 2021 highlights and lowlights but the tape was flawed and
defective, I lost interest. It was so annoying, it drained whatever enthusiasm and excitement left in you.
I also saw Mr. Supranational it was tolerable and bearable so here we go with some observations:
- The winner Circle includes 4th Runner Up- Mr. Spain-Lucas Munoz Alonzo, 3rd Runner Up - Mr. Nepal - Santosh
Upadhyaya, 2nd Runner Up- Mr. Venezuela - William Badell, First Rubber Up- Mr. Togo -Abdel-Kacem Tefridj,
Mr. Supranational 2021- Mr. Peru - Varo Vargas. The sashes were given by last year's winner Nate Crnkovich
from the USA.
- Varo Vargas knelt down after the announcement and his eyes directed heavenward, maybe his way of thanking
God for his win. He received $15,000 for all his effort.
- Venezuela is a good sport. Much that he wants to win, not a tinge of pungency or tartness can be seen in his
wholesome handsome face. Instead, he flashed that radiant smile. a sign he is acknowledging Peru and Togo
are fighting tooth and nail for the title. A lot of observers however said William was aggressive and too con-
fident which I find it normal in contests like this.
- My friend said Togo deserved to win. Togo represents the real and currently changing world where there is a
mixture of races and cultures. Very humble guy and that it shows in his smile
- In the interview, the best answers were Venezuela and Nepal. Venezuela was on his best element but people
find his answer generic and repetitive. Nepal is a doctor by profession, despite a good answer, there was he-
sitancy in his voice. And he is shy too.
In the swimwear competition, it is obvious Venezuela's William Badell was placed in the middle for a reason-
he was the center of attraction and besides other candidates pale in comparison when placed side by side
with him. And when everybody started to gyrate William gets all the applause and the kudos.
In the announcement of Top Ten Finalists, Mr. Peru Varo Vargas has the habit of touching, tapping the shoulder,
patting the back and he gave the announced finalist an exuberant high fives and low fives which make my friend
asked, "When he did that, is he getting the good luck that he needs? Having done that for nth time around, Varo
being called last finally get the call that he wish for. I look back at my friend and I told her, "it's working!"
- From Asia, aside from Philippines, Nepal, and India, facewise Thailand and Singapore should be there instead
of Indonesia. Sorry guys, we are basing it on the face value. Nothing personal. And when he was called in the
Top Ten and the camera zoomed to his face, my friend could not help but say, ... "I told you ... the vote counts."
- When Mr. Korea won the Mr. Friendship award, he was emotional and he didn't expect it. The emotions were
so palpable and genuine, he was on the verge of crying. Mr. Aruba made a testimony when he said this: "Most
of the guys could not communicate with you, but you have won our hearts and our respect" ... and then give
Mr. Korea a T-shirt with the signatures of the candidates. And there was a defeaning applause from the candidates
and the audience.
The opening salvo showed us the bulky Mr. United States and company beating the drums, the rhythmic percussion
made the audience dance with them, and when the candidates showed up, we are treated to a buffet of a male
species in different colors- white black and brown, and gosh the clothes they are wearing, it is just too chic and
sophisticated for ordinary people like us.
In the announcement of the Top 20, we saw candidates leaving the stage. Was that an honest mistake ... or they
made their exit out of disgust that their names were not called.
- The Mr and Miss Supranational 2021 was a family affair, an assembly, and gathering of previous winners with
special participation by some staff members and the organization's supporters. They are clannish and cliquish,
some say snobbish. So the saying goes, "the family that judge together ... come on finish the line!
