You seem to be an expert when it comes to these things, Rex.

I also have no idea why she got high scores. I would give her credit for resiliently standing up after the fall. But I am not sure if it’s enough for her to be in my Top 5.

Ganun talaga, judges’ prerogative, supposedly.

For me, it’s not the women-degrading issue that bothers me, it’s the politics behind beauty pagaents. The Miss U, for example, is biased for Latinas. Miss World naman, for Europeans. I feel sorry for places like Turks & Caicos who keep on joining, pero impossible naman manalo.

I have no idea if they’re still relevant but it seemed to make my hubby watching the pretty girls. LOL.

Ever since the Miss Universe thing was conceptualized, it was never meant to promote the real essence of a woman. It was created in order to promote some darned line of underwear! hahaha

Maybe the judges thought it was very “strong” and “poised” and “brave” of her to continue on with her walk with a solid smile on her face. Kinda like past representatives who tripped and fell…

Unfortunately, I never got to watch the beginning of the pageant. I only caught the part when the top ten were being chosen. ~:> hehe

I wonder how she made it to the final 5. Come on, falling on her butt had to merit some pretty low scores, right? hehe

I thought Miss Japan’s answer to her last question was very simple yet deep. Miss Korea looks real pretty but her answer to her last question kinda fell short. A wallet that never runs out of money, was it…? It’s a cute answer but not Miss Universe material, I suppose.

I felt sorry for Miss U.S.A. though she looks thinner and just dehydrated during the Miss Universe pageant compared to when she was crowned Miss U.S.A. I wonder why…?
