    I think the best gown was from Venezuela, I’m not too crazy about the color choice but it was meant for Christmas. Brazil also look spectacular and Philippines was good. USA was the worst gown in my opinion but since the MU is loosing its grip I guess USA had to win, after all, all the money comes form the USA

    Best in long gown for me is Philippines. Ms. Philippines is very regal and poised in wearing that gown.

    Whatever it is, it was meant to be! If you do the pageant the next day with a different set of judges, the results will be different! But at that time, Miss Philippines and USA had their auras and glow, more than the rest even after the q&a, But there is only ONE WINNER in every beauty pageant! And let’s treasure the winning moment of the candidate, she deserves it! No more ifs and how! Miss Universe 2012n is USA and Miss Philippines , I salute you, a job well done, and you made proud of all the filipino people!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL! THINK POSITIV

    If the concept of the evening gown competition is elegance, beauty and a flair for fashion, how is it that USA scored higher than SAfrica & France in this segment of the competition? I think this is where it became clear USA would win MU, not on her own merit, but because Trump/NBC had scripted the outcome. Olivia Culpo is cute but she was overshadowed by several contestants.

    The best in evening gown was the ravishing Irene Esser from Venezuela. Bold gown choice, great poise & effusive stage presence. Brazil was fascinating. Australia, played it safe with conventional white but still looked mesmerizing. Philippines was exquisite (2nd after Venezuela in magnetism) but the gown looked as if it was made with unrefined fabric.

    The worse gowns Russia & Mexico. They chose gowns intended for women who can showcase their sensuality & appeal. However, they didn’t have the catwalk skills and were poorly styled.

      You have no knowledge of how to do beauty pageants? Why don’t you produce, choreograph, direct and all of the above! And announce the winners yourself! Maybe you will be happy about the results!

    Mexico and Venezuela had to worse gowns. Mexico did not realize the swim suit competition was over and Venezuela was just awful in that green dress. Green is my favorite color especially the color green she had on. It just didn’t worse for her.
