PlERRE Posted January 5, 2023 Share 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.

PlERRE Posted January 6, 2023 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlERRE Posted January 9, 2023 Share 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!

Maybe that’s why they couldn’t manage the visa in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

izzy™ Posted January 9, 2023 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
