Miss Universe 2007

Miss India was beautiful in the swimwear contest, but the evening gown round hurt her chances. Quite frankly, I wasn't a huge fan of her dress. She could have done much better with the dress.

And I agree with you guys about the Mexicans booing Miss USA. That was very rude and uncalled for. Here's a question for you all (and I don't mean to hijack this thread), if the pageant were held in France, would you think that Miss USA would get booed?

*hijack*I don't think she would be booed in France, people there understand the difference between a beauty pageant and politics. People there aren't hostile towards Americans to the extent that people in America hear about the supposed hostility. I guess if you are an obnoxious American tourist, you might have a problem.

I took a group of 8 of my students to France this past April, they all loved it and not a single one had any problems, and they also stayed with French families. *end hijack*

As far as the booing...just plain rude. I'm sure had all the Americans booed Miss Mexico it would have been hugely publicized that we're all a bunch of haters. Miss USA recovered well, but I have to say, wasn't a huge fan of her dress. To me it was just blah.

I thought that they were booing her becuse she fell and still made the top five and Miss Mexico didn't make the top five. I thought I heard them booing and saying MEXICO! MEXICO! Either way they were terribly RUDE!

That's what I thought too. The people in the audience don't care about immigration laws. They were booing and hissing because the girl who fell on her ass advanced and theirs didn't! Had it been another contestant from another country who fell, I'm pretty sure she would have been booed as well.

Someone should tell the Donald to hold next year's pageant in Venezuela. I'd like to see him and Hugo Chavez sitting side by side.
