I just think she is one of the most lovely and beautiful Miss Universes ever!
I am a Filipino-American, and I do beleived that Miss Philippines should have won the crown because she answered the Q&A CORRECTLY with a common sense! That’s all!
Im from the Philippines and all I can say is that, Ms.Olivia Culpo deserve to win…We have to respect the judges decision…We have a lot of judges by the way…Lets be happy with the result and support the new Ms. Universe title holder…Congrats also to Ms.Philippines.
the least! i would rather be justthe FIRST RUNNER-UP like miss philippines! which the whole wide world knew the true winner…RATHER than BE the crowned MU without the full trust and is being questioned by the many??? hahahahah
Miss USA has a beautiful face but the problem is she has a poor catwalk skills and not deserving on the spot of Top 5. For me, when I saw the Evening Gown competition during Top 10 she’s until there. That’s enough but entering into Top 5 is a big miracle. It’s better to see Miss South Africa or Mexico to be on the Top 5 but Olivia Kupal este Culpo she’s not deserving and worth it. Having a poor catwalk skills and lack of poise and don’t know to handle herself on stage is a big mistake of the judges. I believe that it’s a Cooking Show. Poor Trumph and Poor Shugart…
This is the list of the semifinalist and waht Donal Trump said:
Top 5
Brazil: thank you for hosting Miss Universe last year. I won 16 million Dollar. Thank you Grupo Banderaintes.
Australia: Thank you Seven Network( the major tv network in Australia) for broadcasting my beauty pageant every year. (yes delayed but at prime time anyway, something rare for a developed countrie to do that)
Phillipines: Thank you for being the craziest Miss Universe fans in the world. Your Miss Universeholic mantain my beauty pageant on the spot.
USA: Do i have to said something?
Venezuela: Thank you for pay me 30.000 US Dollar every year, that money is good for me ( Venezuela fee for Miss universe is one of the most and maybe the most expensive)
A beautiful lady, very well spoken and everything, but, in my opinion, she did not deserve the title of Miss Universe.
i agree she is pretty but there were betters. at least she was better than miss phillipines.
i think australia and south africa were the best. venezuela too but with that answer, for me she was out too.
I think that Ms Universe Organization should be very picky in choosing the next JUDGES..
Judges must be FAIR enough to avoid issues.
Judges must comply on the Criteria.
and please don’t select a person to be a Judge, not because he/she is popular or something but select a person to be a Judge because he/she is not bias and can judged with FAIRNESS and EQUALITY..
I agree. All judges should comprise of people within the fashion industry ( clothes, hair, and makeup) and modeling agencies as well as directors of pageants. Actors, reality pretend stars and athletes just do not qualify as a pageant judge in my eyes.
Me parece que debia quedar como miss universo australia o venezuela de verdad son hermosas..
