Srta. Universe Recap

I was hedging my bets on Venezuela. Brazil did have a great showing though. India lacked compared to their previous winners. Both East Asian reps (Japan and Korea) were good, but not enough for me to pick one of them to go all the way. Like many times before, my voice was not heard.

But of course, all the rage the morning after is our own going down in a blaze of glory during the evening gown section. At that point, she was so far out of reach, she should have double-downed and stripped! I could see a jump from 5th to 3rd, maybe even 2nd. Our prudish image would be eliminated.

Personally, I thought the show was better on Telemundo -- It was in Mexico City, adding authenticity to the overall feel, the lady MC on that station showed a little more, and the fact I couldn't understand the dude next to her talking, made it all the better. Nelly Furtado was a good selection for the intro music. And, I thought it was cool that a bald one made it into the top ten, once again showing it is all about whats on the inside of these women that counts most.
