Stefania Fernandez of Venezuela was crowned as the new Miss Universe. This year's edition took place at the Atlantis resort, Nassau, Bahamas on the 23rd of August (yesterday) at 3 am (Nigerian time). Venezuela won the pageant last year,holding the crown for the second year running, first time in Miss Universe history.

How far did d representative of Nigeria go.

She went no where. Compared to d oda contestants,her beauty no reach no where.

Stephania Fernandez:








last year's winner was from Venezuela too, I think.

Behold Miss Nigeria:







I think she's ok.  Better luck next time!

@tpia Venezuela won last year, People sense politics in this year's pageant. In my opinion, Stefania's answer was not the best, Australia or Dominican Republic should have won, but anyway she got the crown and i'm happy for her, when will nigeria win miss universe?
@ Seun there will be no next time for her, at least not miss universe,

That blue dress looks like something a carpenter made.

@ stillwater, lol, and we have such beautiful dresses,
@ mr crackles, she's ok but her beauty couldnt be compared to d oda sexy delegates, but i watched the presentaton show, i like how she catwalked,

Bonga fish!

Compared to the other girls in the pageant . .she ain't nowhere please!

@Thoniaslim lol, u can sat that again.
I really dont know what has gone wrong with the most beautiful girl in nigeria pageant. They have been unable to present a beauty queen with stunning beauty like the likes of Agbani, Chinenye, Anita,

Miss Universe Is Fixed By Donald Trump: Choreographer

According to a new interview with the Miss Universe choreographer, Donald Trump fixed part of the pageant to ensure that the prettiest girls make it through.

In a lengthy interview with guanabee, choreographer Michael Schwandt tells how Trump, who owns the pageant, lines up all the contestants before the competition and hand picks six of the finalists, before any judging takes place.

"At all the shows, he pops in the day before the telecast and we line up all the girls in alphabetical order behind microphones. And they say their name, age and country. Then we line them up in alphabetical order in one single file line across the stage. And he basically walks by and has an assistant that takes notes on all the girls. And it's just kind of common knowledge that he picks six of the top fifteen single-handedly. [/b]So, the other nine of the top fifteen are judged in a preliminary show the week before and picked by those judges, but he picks six of the top fifteen."


[b]So, he's orchestrating at least a portion of the results? Right. And, his reason for doing so, as he told me and he's told the girls before, is that he left it all up to preliminary judging in the past and some of the most beautiful women, in his opinion, were not in the top fifteen and he was kind of upset about that. And he decided that he would pick a certain number and let the judges pick a certain number.



Trump's personal judging round is not mentioned in the pageant rules.

HOW ARE THE SEMI-FINALISTS CHOSEN? In 1997, a dual-paneled judging system was introduced. One panel judges the preliminary rounds; the other panel judges the live telecast. All contestants are judged in three areas of preliminary competition which are not always televised due to time constraints: 1. Interviews - Judges spend time with each delegate to learn about her successes, goals and ambitions. 2. Swimsuit Competition - Each delegate wears one of a variety of swimsuit styles provided by a sponsor. 3. Evening Gown Competition - Each delegate wears a gown she has chosen for herself. All scores are tallied in each of the three categories. The contestants with the highest aggregate scores are named the semi-finalists. The competition is narrowed twice more to produce the winner.

and they tell them people they're chosen/selected by their "talents"

beauty is also important in the pagaents, not just talent.

dont really see what's wrong with this.

Some of the past pageant contestants havent been too impressive- too obvious there's some shady business going on with the judges not seeming to know what they're doing.

@ Sissy the only problem with what trump is doing is that he'll leave out most contestants from Africa and asia and fill up the final cut with latin women. However, it is his private business and he has the right to decide who he spends money on for the next one year, and besides the three past miss universe queens have been awesomely hot! the man really has taste, look at dayana mendoza, or rivera zuleykya,or riyo mori, not to talk of the present stefania fernandez, Besides I heard he was one of those that made sure Nigeria made it to the first cut in 2001.He even offered Agbani a seperate modelling deal(Citation needed).

Troynow:

@ besides the three past miss universe queens have been awesomely hot! the man really has taste

'nuff said.

The real pretty naija girls do not go for these pageants, so u have to use d ones u see.

Wetin be dis?

O Blimey! I should have gone and would have done berra even wiv my BOW legg. For shizzle.

i'm sick of these latinas winning all the time. they're not even pretty in my eyes.

i always roots for the black africans and indians.

She looks so fine.

its true latinas win mostly, but Stefania is hot and deservd d crown. Dominican Rep was also very good.

MrCrackles:

Seun
So that is the chick Nigeria sent to represent the country?
Jokes!

I think she is pretty but they should shoot the person who made the blue dress for her
bullets bullets bullets

I think Miss Nigeria is beautiful. Better than MBGN for sure.
