I REALLY LIKE THE RESULTS; BUT I LIKE MUCH MORE THAT THIS YEAR (I THINK!) THE CENTRAL AMERICAN CONTESTANTS ARE, IN GENERAL, MORE COMPETITIVE. CR&HON!

MISS COLOMBIA & OUR LATIN/HISPANIC REPRESENTATIVES ARE BEAUTIFUL

I thought that Serbia, Turks & Caicos, Israel and South Africa would be higher.

Nice top, though

Colombia is the only who was in all our lists. PR was out in 1 and C. Rica out 2. UKraine was our winner in June, but this time placed only in the Top 15. Serbia was our 1st ru and now placed in the 7th position.

All the girls of this top 5 aren't today my faves. Of them, Colombia is my fave for make a good pageant, but I cannot see she win the crown (because the sash factor). C. Rica, who a lot love, I do not see advancing to a Top 5. For me she is only a common beauty.
Philippines out the Top? It's what I think almost impossible thing, because she have the sash and audiences* in her favor.

*Phils have today more TV audiences that Venezuela.

I THINK THAT IT'S A GOOD THING!
I LIKE IT WHEN HOT PICKS AREN'T CONSTANT WITH THE SAME CONTESTANTS OR AREN'T ALWAYS HAVING THE SAME RESULTS/CONTESTANTS IN TOP SPOTS BECAUSE IT DEMONSTRATES THAT PEOPLE/VOTERS AREN'T BLIND FANS, THEY'RE ACTUALLY APPRECIATING THE GIRLS WHO IMPROVE OR THE NEW CONTESTANTS WHO ARE COMPETITIVE (ONE WAY OR ANOTHER).

It's true... The entrance of other contestants, who can be stronger, or girls who decay because other factors, like S. Africa who gained weight, are the 2 major causes of the exchanging of the positions.
