I fell asleep for most of the pageant, so I must have missed something spectacular about Miss Servia & Montenegro. I couldn't believe she was chosen Top 5 over some of the other Top 15. Her dress was atrocious, her answer was not an answer, and her hair hid her face! For her to have beat out Miss Japan surprised me, too. Out of the 5, I had them flip-flopped.

I think Miss D.R. was a good choice.

Was she the one who got the fire-water question?

I thought that fire-water-question answer was not an answer.. she was given 2 choices and she chose neither

I loved Miss Dominican Republic. I agree completely on Miss Serbia -- the answer? The dress?

She was pretty but she didn't seem to have a whole lot going for her.

I had fun practicing translating the Spanish of Miss D.R. and Miss Venezuela to my friends in the final round.

Unfortunately, they didn't televise the pageant here in England. I can guess that nobody cared since there was no Miss Great Britain in the pageant. So, I've had to settle for checking the news this morning.

Ok! I know how to pick 'em! Out of my Top 10 list, 6 made the cut. That's especially good seeing that I didn't know there was going to be a top 15. If I had known that, I could have picked another 5 delegates. Anyway, of the ladies I said would be Top 3, I got the winner and the 1st runner up correct!

Not bad!

texas*princess, she was the one with the fire/water question. I didn't think it was a very difficult or controversial one, but I imagine their nerves are on high alert up there.

smiley21 · #69 06-04-2003, 09:43 AM

for the fire and water question, i would want a little bit of both. the passion and drive of fire. and the tranqulity and spiritual side of water. but if i had to choose one, it would be fire. see how easy it was to answer? i though of this right when they asked the question last night.

i think miss serbia screwed up her chances even more when she couldnt answer the question. anyway, with miss dominican republic in the top 5, no one had a chance. she is awesome!!...and gorgeous!!

Is it just me, or was this the Dullest. Pageant. Ever?

MSKKG · #71 06-04-2003, 11:10 AM

Maybe that's why I fell asleep!

I didn't watch the pageant, but I found out this morning who won, and I am so happy. Miss D.R. is gorgeous and from my mothers country!! My mom came to the states from the D.R. when she was 4, so I have a bit of a personal tie to the winner. I've never been to the island, but my mom tells me it's beautiful. So, yay for the Dominicans!!!

Sistermadly, Yes, that pageant was pretty dull. However, I am so impressed that Canada made top 10....YAY! I love USA's dress, even if it was borderline figure skater....

I was not loving Miss Serbia & Montenegro's green seaweed dress...blech! (i.e. "Yugoslavia")

Dominican Republic was awesome...she won best costume too!

I just love her smile!

smiley21, yeah, why didn't Serbia & Montenegro answer something like "water gives life" or something? She should have talked in her native language and gone with the translation..it obviously did not hurt the Spanish speaking winner and 1st RU!

Cutie, maybe you can answer this -- my hubby said last night that there was some "controversy" with Miss Canada because she leased her dress from -- get this -- drag queens.

Is there any truth to it?

I kept thinking "Hello?! Who knows more about over the top glamour than DRAG QUEENS? All the other women in the pageant should be as savvy!"

I was not suprised with the winner and the 1st runner up but I thought they could have picked a better top 5. I was not impressed with any of these girls answers to their final questions. I really was not a fan of any of the gowns this year. Some of them looked horrible! Miss USA should have worn a better gown, the cut on that dress did not look that great on her. Just to add in I do not believe that being fit is a size 0 and a height of 5'9. I do believe being fit involves your body shape but you can be fit as a size 5 at a height of 5'2. It involves how tone you are and how healthy you look.

Anyways I forgot why Miss Universe gave up her title to the first runner up last year? Can some one fill me in. I kinda remember but I am not sure.
