Miss Universe 2008

My very late thoughts

-I honestly thought that Miss USA's trip was staged. It just looked it and I thought "oh she didn't". Last years Miss USA handled it so much better and made it to the top 5, I honestly think Crystle was "trying" that "luck" again. The thing though is, IMPO she isn't as pretty as last years Miss USA.

-I loved Venezuala from the start. I thought she was absolutely adorable. Mexico and Columbia grew on me, I just wasn't a fan of their evening gowns.

-as for the final question, basically I think the judges always choose someone who never answers the question correctly. I'm not sure if something is getting lost in translation but it's like these women just pull something out of their ass. I think they were saying "hi Vietnam" as a way to "stall" for time. If you noticed, the women who actually used the translator had much more than 30 seconds to respond.

-While Venezuala's answer really had nothing to do with her question, I think she tried to answer the best she could with the language barrier. I thought she did somewhat well (compared to the others).

Question- Has a Miss USA ever won Miss Universe?

Yes, Miss USA has won Miss Universe. You can do a google search of past winners. Miss USA hasn't won in the past few years, but its been close sometimes!

YES YES YES!

The most recent Miss USA to win the Miss Universe title is my hometown girl Brook Mahealani Lee in 1997. In fact, it was because of Brook that my alma mater hosted Miss Universe in 1998.

Some of you might remember her -- she was the Miss Universe after "the Miss Universe who got fat". When asked in her interview what she would do if she became Miss Universe, Brook said she'd eat everything...twice.

Really though, the language barrier is NO excuse. She had a translator she could have used, but she decided to speak in English, and she made no sense. Really, if she didn't know how to explain it in English, she could have done it in Spanish.
