PlERRE Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Colombia won the day for me. Puerto Rico, USA, Indonesia Germany and Thailand are really under the radar. Italia and India are gaining momentum, Cambodia could be nice surprise. South Africa, Venezuela and Philippines are delivering. Not overdoing it but also not getting lost.
DR0GO Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Colombia, South Africa and DR all look fresh and vibrant. Those are my favorites right now.
Canonical Ensembl Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Day 3 is such a bloodbath https://www.instagram.com/p/CnDXNc3DuG4/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
PlERRE Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Day 3 was for Colombia, nothing else to say. Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico looked amazing. It's kinda unfair we don't have an Official coverage anymore cuz a lot of girls get lost and we only focus on the same 20 girls everyday.

dabunique Posted January 6, 2023 Author Posted January 6, 2023 Also Ghana & Cameroon haven't showed up yet and today is orientation, some countries need to get it together
PlERRE Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) This is between Colombia and Venezuela definitely, I think it's going to be a Powerhouse and as of right now they both seem to have the whole package; Puerto Rico comes close but she's giving more model than Miss Universe. Colombia has the advantage that IMG hasn't crowned a blonde, Venezuela has the advantage of the transformational leader Anne was talking about. Philippines is under the radar, Thailand is lost, USA and Mexico are nowhere to be found. France and South Africa will place, but I don't see them winning, India only shined that one day. Dominican Republic is growing. As I said before, we need equal treatment to all the girls, there are some contestants that I haven't seen more than twice, we all focus on the same 15 countries and that's why they always place, MUO should do media teams, hire photographers, social media groups, something!

dabunique Posted January 9, 2023 Author Posted January 9, 2023 as of now its MaFe's crown to lose Philippine is da only one from Asia always on point Italy faded, Spain faded USA was decimated by Colombia in their group reel (although yesterday was a great day R'Bonney) Mexico is also non existent, she had a cute photo shoot with Peru and was also eaten alive Curacao is jus so breathtaking and seeing her back makes me so happy
dabunique Posted January 9, 2023 Author Posted January 9, 2023 China has still not even left her nation, its over for her with interviews starting tomorrow honestly how do u not get ur passport or visa ahead of time its a shame, they haven't missed an edition since they debut in 2002
frantic Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Dominican Republic Puerto Rico Germany Spain Nigeria Mexico Italy Ukraine USA Thailand Peru Colombia South Africa Venezuela Philippines Jamaica Top 16 so far Venezuela, Philippines, Colombia, South Africa and Italy ( maybe Puerto Rico) top 5
DR0GO Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 I think this will be between Colombia, Venezuela, DR, Philippines and South Africa.
Ale Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 This could be a repeat of the 2008 edition with Venezuela and Colombia

Maybe that’s why they couldn’t manage the visa in time.

Love both Amanda and Mafe I think the crown is for Colombia till the question, that's the make o break moment, also some luck cuz some questions are really ????? Philippines usually slays Q&A, they practice everything. Venezuela is probably one of the best speakers, but not only that, her aura and charisma fill a room when you give her a microphone.
Canonical Ensembl Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Update: Miss China has just arrived New Orleans
izzy™ Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 I have a couple of favorites but I’m gonna wait until the preliminary to see who rises and falls. What do y’all think of the new crown?

They should bring back the minimoto one, maybe a new deal only for the tiaras the winners get to keep. It's iconic, timeless and truly represents Miss Universe. I don't know if the girls from the Diamond Nexus Lab, DIC or Mouawad eras got a tiara. Anybody knows?
