- In a spectacular production, El Salvador hosted the 72nd Miss Universe on 18 November 2023, which in itself was one of the most tightly contested editions in recent years.
Right up until the crowning moment it wasn’t clear who would take the crown, but ultimately Nicaragua became the 35th different nation to hold the Miss Universe title. Sheynnis Palacios performed brilliantly, not only on finals night, but throughout the two-week competition.
Have a look at my post-pageant thoughts, captured in the hours following this historic victory.
My full, stats and facts-laden recap is coming soon!

Congratulations to all Central Americans and to all Nicaraguans. But especially congratulations to Shennys. This is the first time that Central America represents Latin America and it is well deserved. This is a woman who comes from a family with humble beginnings. This is her time to shine no matter what.
There was nobody who could beat Nicaragua this year. The poise,the personality,the walk,the confidence,the whole aura,uh,I could go on. Perfect package! ❤Love from India❤
The “Spirit of Carnival” is an award for an individual embodying the company’s values of fun, friendship, diversity and inclusion.
It was nice to see three non-powerhouse nations make the finals.
Actually Australia and Thailand are considered powerhouses considering they have been placing regularly in the past two decades.
@@PungiFungipowerhouse is not just placing, they should have at least won the 4 alpha pageants. So Australia and especially Thailand is far from being powerhouse
@@yudai112 a country can be a powerhouse in one pageant and not in another.
@@PungiFungiMU Powerhouse.
I agree, and I think it's good for the pageant, as it broadens the appeal to people in nations that maybe aren't usually as interested in MU.
I had my eyes fixed on Nicaragua and Philippines since the very beginning because they are both gorgeous and most unique looking but i had a feeling that Nicaragua would win because of her charismatic energy and that it is held in Central America. Thailand most beautiful of the top 5 but she does not have that charismatic energy that Nicaragua possesses…sort of similar to catriona harnaaz Diana memdoza energy. The one that possesses that charismatic energy usually wins. Very happy Nicaragua won but disappointed that Philippines didn’t make top 5 because she is more beautiful and have better oratory than half of the top 5. She has the zozi beauty brain and elegance
Agree, thai's performance was lackluster compared to the others. She looks tired, i think she did better in MUT
@@carmensuavillo7615she’s definitely tired. She didn’t even hear the host calling her for the final question 😂
@@jeancai4098she didnt even hug Miss Nicaragua and just walked out afterwards lol
I agree with you. Very well said.
exactly, i thought their looking for a transformational woman and i bet its MMD but sadly, they ignored it and didnt give a chance fairly..
Miss Nicaragua is indeed deserving of the Crown. Miss Philippines, as you have pointed out, should have ideally been in the Top 5 because of her outstanding overall performance, truthfully realistic advocacy and because of being truly her unique and authentic self. Indeed, a complete and total package, if you may.
Nah. Philippines is not even close to being the prettiest and the 90s want their wet hair look back. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡
1000% agree
No, she shouldn't be top 5. There were much better candidates this year. She was lucky to even make top 10.
@@geeunit831 duh you're obviously a hater. Be objective, cause she is. You see how dull the gowns of top 10 were?
@@binsoy728 The hypocrisy of your statements is hilarious 🤣 calling me a hater yet you're the ones shitting on the top 10 candidates who placed above Philippines. Most of the gowns in the Top 10 were gorgeous. Just because your favourite didn't place all of a sudden everyone else's gown was dull? lol. MMD's gown wasn't a pageant gown. It was a red carpet look. This isn't the Oscars ffs 🤦🏽♂
So happy with Ms.Nicaragua..winning the Ms.Universe for Year 2023....and honestly not against it...but still for Me...Michelle Marquez Dee-(Philippines).. deserves a Top 5 Spot...she had showcase a total performance: brain, beauty, elegance, genuine and a loving👑Queen👑..
Still can't let go of the results...😢😢😢..anyways, Thank you so much and more power...😊
Now a fan of Pageant nerd! very unbiased feedback, no drama straightforward analysis of the candidates performances and very high prediction accuracy! You're now my favourite!!!!
The Philippines truly stands out in the evening gown segment. Despite not advancing to the top 5, they refrained from doing so because they recognized the Philippines' strength in the Q&A. Once she reached the top 5, winning the crown for the Philippines became an unlikely possibility.
Philippines is soon be renamed "MAHARLIKA" that's ur real name..
CONGRATULATIONS NICARAGUA 🇳🇮 YOU WERE MY WINNER 🏆 😊
Nicaragua was amazing throughout,she seems so sweet and calm! I was so happy to see her getting crowned❤
I'm really satisfied and happy with the win of miss Nicaragua. Something new for a change, girls from other countries too are gorgeous, not only from Philippines or south Africa
Delvelopping country always crazy about crown of many Miss XXXX , espectially Philippines. They are so crazy more and more.
Nicaraguan delegate's Miss 🇳🇮 Sheynnis Palacios really was indeed deserving of the crown she did claimed that night of November 18th 2023. She did given a full blasts of an amazingly, lively and energetic performance in the entire competition. I'm so sincerely happy with her win, felicidades Nicaraguans, and good luck to your reign as this year's MU.
To our Filipinas' bet, MMD's performance was a total packaged, it's a nice restart for Philippines to be back in top placement again after 2022's unfortunate result. Congratulations and salute Filipinas 🇵🇭!
Miss Nicaragua indeed deserved to win. Congratulations, Miss Nicaragua,but if Miss Philippines makes it to the Top 3, Miss Nicaragua will have a hard time beating Miss Philippines. love, you mean it.
Not even close, Miss Philippines was not match for Miss Nicaragua.
I'm sorry, but Miss Philippines not prettier than Nicaragua and her performance was poor.
Loved this recap, Roger. Excited for your stats video. Loots of stats/firsts for that. Congratulations, Sheynnis. Super well-deserved win.😊
Also:
1. The symbolism behind Michelle Dee's gown is that it pays tribute to Apo Whang-Od, one of the last traditional indiginous tattoo artists in the Philippines.
2. Nicaragua's first crown gives me an idea for a suggestion: Countries that haven't won a crown but have been in Top 5 or higher. Jamaica, Curaçao, and Haiti come to mind.
I agree that Ms Nicaragua deserves the crown. Was researching about Sheynnis' Ms World journey, I watched her advocacy which is why she made to top 40 slot. Maybe people should look into that too. She made history for her country today, lets just be happy.
D'you know that I even remember her gown when she won her local pageant to compete at Miss World. I thought she would have been sent to Miss Universe back then but am glad they waited for her to gain experience.
If this is a fair game , have the best 2 go head to head with Philippines ! Thailand is never on the judges card for Top 5 as shown in the MU webpage . They removed Philippines from the list. Thailand is weak on the Q&A.
@@kramerb3758 we all know if Michelle had the Cambodia sash, no one would question her exclusion from the top 5.
You were very accurate on your predictions. You did an extraordinary job and you got the talent. Congratulations ❤❤❤
Good to know you had this recap done as fast as you could...from the Philippines
Nicaragua did a Catriona run as many people say. She was the clear winner from the get-go.
I remember when she won her national pageant, everybody said she was a front runner. The only thing holding her back, I thought, was her sash. So like Angola in 2011, picking the right representative is all that matters.
Except Catriona had two Filipino judges in the panel when she compete. Sheynise did it all her own so her victory had more integrity.
@@enticingmay435 Speaking of Integrity, out of the top 3, still....Catriona Was a CLEAR WINNER... it was not questionable regardless of who are the judges. PERIOD!
@@enticingmay435 and beside, I am Happy Nicaragua won... I was praying that Thailand did not win since it was rigged...Originally Philippines was in top 5..then after minutes, replaced by Thailand...why? your guess is good as mine. (see online circulating screenshot of before and after).
@@enticingmay435even without Filipino judges Catriona will win. She's a sure winner not only good in both swim suit and gown pasarela she's a very intelligent.
Sheynnis was just consistent throughout, and her evening gown performance reminded me of Zozi in 2019 where the gown had a symbolic meaning related to her country and was just spectacular! Moreover, she answered confidently both times. With MMD, I was reminded of Estefania Soto in 2020 where the gown was unique, but maybe a tad too avant-garde for the MU stage.
MMD’s gown was a tribute for our country’s oldest traditional tattooist who is in her 100 years. You may want to search for Wang Od.
@@junabethlaude9746 I know about Wang Od actually, she was featured in Vogue too. I personally liked the gown, I'm saying what the judges might have felt
I feel MMD's gown was more of a red carpet look as opposed to an evening gown. I liked it but not for Miss Universe.
Sheyniss gown is so ugly to be honest. The big crystals look cheap, the silhouette is so pageant-patty, she wore that ugly gloves too and that Cape my GOd! Mario Brother?! I'm criticizing her gown, not the girl ok?
I love cultural gowns. I loved Zozibini's prelim and finals night gowns, I always love when Philippines show their culture in their gowns, and I also love Abena's prelims gown at Miss Universe 2014.
Excellent video, I look forward to them each time 🎉
Thks and what a lovely wrap-up from you with many facts and info. Very interesting to know indeed... Great! and very good points on Antonia's last answer. What a good show this year!... Thks from Thailand. 😊😊😊😊
I am very happy for Nicragua. Sir have you noticed this year's major pageant patter .All major pagents winners are from American continent.-
Miss Supranational - Ecuador
Miss Grand International - Peru
Miss International - Venezuela
Miss Universe - Nicragua
It's great.And I am very happy for Australia as I very much like Jennifer Hawkins. moraya reminded me of her.Congratulations to you sir for Australia 's comeback at Miss Universe with Morya Wilson's second runner up.And I am Also happy for our India' s as our stream which Vertika has started in 2019 is still in the running. We have a recent crown with Harnaaz and I am happy that other countries specially those who have never won or recognised much in recent years are winning and placing.Lots of love from India Sir.
I enjoyed a lot! She is very beautiful!
Bless up for the review.
I was expecting South Africa and Ph will be in toP 2.
But they did not give them a chance.
I think thailand was just in top 10 because the Owner of MU came from thailand too.
And the judges doesn't like dark colors.
They don't appreciate that as a true beauty.
There was a criteria for judging but i think some of the judges make their own criteria.
Great commentary! I predicted correctly first and second place! Keep up the good and objective perspective. bravo!
Just discovered you, very thoughtful commentary. Fully subscribed🌞
Thank you #Post-PageantThoughts❤ hugs from #Managua❤#Nicaragua❤!!!
Nicaragua deserves the crown. But Michelle should have been in the Top 5. And if she was included, things could have been different.
PHILIPPINES ❤ AND SUPPORT MISS NICARAGUA. FILIPINOS ❤ HER. FELICIDADES!
agree
very true
We love you Antonia 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
It is a pleasure to hear your assertive comments, the way you talk, your calmness, your impartiality, I am glad with the with the Top 3 !!! I am from Colombia and I did not expect Camila to go that far..... One thing is seeing them n TV, videos and pictures (Very Deceiving) that to see them In-Person (Disappointing sometimes). Viva Nicaragua...!!!
Another great rundown of yet another Miss Universe. I look forward to your post-pageant thoughts each year Tim. Keep up the top tier pageant content 🙌🏾
Congrats Miss universe Nicaragua 2023🙌
Hello tpn great vid as always. I was hoping you would make a follow up vid regarding the issue with the post in Instagram about the top 5 in which the Philippines was in it but then it got deleted and also many people questioned it because in the telecast when they were announcing the top 5 the cameraman was clearly focusing on Philippines and then it got swap to thailand being called out.
We love that we get to see you more on the screen than just hearing your voice over. I mean youre a whole meal or whatever lol. Seriously tho I super love this Channel.
I have to agree that this is the most predictable top 20 so far. I can’t believe I got Cameroon, Nepal , Nambia, Portugal and Pakistan right. I only missed Chile, Peru and Jamaica not because I didn’t believe in them but I thought they would favor Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico more.
I wished they could have included Philippines in the top 5 because her gown was a slayer.
But overall good show.
Nice. On-spot review. Thank you
Dee wore a sheer nude evening gown adorned with black jewels - which she explained is a tribute to Apo Whang-Od (oldest tattoo artist, 106 yrs old-Philippines Heritage), who is dubbed the last and oldest mambabatok of the Kalinga ethnic group.
The gown was not nude-the top was with black jewels.
_What the F is MamaTiktok? NOT everyone speaks your language OK?_
@@BUKKAKE2tattoo artist from tribe of Kalinga
That’s very nice but most in the audience would not know the significance or inspiration of the gown.
@@PungiFungi that is why the delegate includes it should she advance to the top 10 so it can be possibly mentionned live on the broadcast during the segment.
Three of the women who did not make your top 20 list were on my list. Namibia (face of Africa) and Pakistan were two. However, South Africa was my only candidate from the continent to make my top ten. The person I was most excited about was Nepal. Among the top seven, Venezuela was least expected. We agree about the top 10 since my top five were chosen among them. Five of the women in the top ten clearly deserved to be there - they all did, I'm sure, but I liked five of them really well - four made it to the top five. Philippines was very deserving (not over-hyped) so I was disheartened when she did not make the final cut. I am thrilled that Miss Nicaragua was crowned. She is one of my favorite winners of this crown period. She ranks with Lara Dutta, Mpule Kwelagobe, and Zozibini Tunzi.
On some boards, I heard people talking about boycotting the pageant if this or that country didn't make it and I'm appalled. Year in and year out, we have had representatives from the same countries on the Miss Universe stage as the ideal of "beauty". Many of them were absolutely deserving no doubt. However, there were other countries who continue to attend faithfully even though their well-deserving representative has been left out over and over and over again. Did I say "over" enough times? Yet, you don't seem them throwing a tantrum and threaten to take their ball and go home. I love the disruption in the last two years. Love it! Beauty comes in all temples and more focus needs to be put on brains and not the passarella.
I’d love it if whining sour bitter nasty sore losers from the Philippines boycott the pageant forever. It’s sad and disgraceful. Desperation is not a good look. And at this point, these nasty fans are shameful and embarrassing.
A white European woman representing her country and her nation, who is not a trangender, is not the daughter of a Pakistani immigrant, or whose mother is not a refugee from Central Africa, and is not the daughter of a Thai prostitute. A person who studies, leads a life at an average European level, has fair skin, which is the norm in Europe, has not had plastic surgery and has not even stuffed her lips with silicone and does not apply a ton of makeup, does she have a chance in this competition?
HUH? @@hannasalazar4421
@@hannasalazar4421 they’re all studying I think. But probably not.
Congratulations Miss Universe 2023. You are Phenomenal! love from the Philippines
Thank you for supporting our candidate from the very beginning! 🇨🇱
Nicaragua has the looks of Demileigh and the walk of Catriona... She was my only choice from the very start... Congrats to her from the Philippines! 👏👏👏
Thanks for your great review and thoughts this season.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the IG story posted by the Miss U org showing Ms Philippines in the top 5 then quickly changed to Ms Thailand. Thanks! 🥂
Honestly Philippines won the fan votes, the advocacy and did her bet to the world on their pure intention to win. God bless those who robbed her winning momentum🙏. Another Janine Togonon issue
VERY WELL SAID MISS PHILIPPINES WAS ROBBED
She was a DOG
@pagent nerd great job at predicting the finalists … you are superb!
Thank you!!! ❤️🥰
Thank you for supporting Antonia queen for Thailand❤🎉
So proud of Karla for representing us amazingly, she had such a strong EG performance but messed up in Q&A, happy for the newly crowned MU she was the most deserving.
She got visibly nervous during the top 5 Q&A which paved the way for Australia to take the 3rd spot. Colombia did not answer the question and used the mother card. So Australia moved into the final round by default.
Congrats, your predictions went very well.
Great video! Miss Universe in Mexico is always WILD, we need to go hahaha
Every year 2 or 3 Desi girls placed this time we have four placement with India, Nepal, Pakistan n South Africa.❤
We want your honest reaction for michelles performance not entering the top 5 . We felt like we have been robbed with the top 5 placement if we base it in the swimsuit and gown performancr of the top 10. Definitely philippines deserves to be in the top 5. And also the ongoing mistake of the leaked photo of the original top 5 which philippines was replaced by thailand and it was posted prior on the announcement of top 5 in miss u elsalvador page and was deleted immediately with thailands name. We want you genuine and honest answer. Thanks ❤. We are happy for nicaragua she truly deserves it but michells unplacement in top 5 was unacceptable. They were all afraid for michelle to reach the q and a round because they all know how she will slay that round.
Don't expect Latino yan mlamang plaplastikin lang Tayo, the Truth about latin country they don't like Philippines when it comes to mu. When pia won Doon na nag start.
Philippines was great but I think the girls that did make the Top 5 absolutely deserved to be there. It wasn't that MMD was not derseving, but that the Top 5 girls were more deserving!
@@rungiselerunn9237with those lackluster performance with boring gowns? I don't think so.
Don't get me wrong, my predicted winner is Nicaragua but they did Philippines dirty this time
No conspiracy theory from obsessed and dishonest and desperate Filipino fans deserve an answer from the organization. Just like disgusting and dishonest conspiracy theories when Donald Trump claimed he won 2020 in a LANDSLIDE even though he’s the biggest loser in the history of the USA Presidency. Get a life!
Philippines did not make it in the top 5 simply because no one outside of the Philippines thinks she’s close to being one of the prettier contestants. Her pretend-sexy face is cheesy. Her hair was from the 90s. And she’s lucky to even make it to the Top 10 which she wouldn’t have without the Philippines beauty machine and a Filipino judge in the panel. IT’S OVER, GET OVER IT!!! Sad and disgraceful.
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE COMMOTION BETWEEN PHILIPPINES AND THAILAND? MS UNIVERSE POSTED IN THEIR ACCOUNT TOP 5 IS MS PHILIPPINES.. AFTER 10 MINUTES THEY DELETED IT AND CHANGE IT TO THAILAND IN THE PICTURE... BUT MANY PEOPLE SAW IT AND SCREEN SHOT
I love the top three😊
Great Production number. Judges had chosen great Top5 as well. We had great Top 3. Nicaragua deserve the Crown indeed , she's a real star.
I'm happy that Nicaragua won because she got the best answer! Miss Philippine's gown was unique and striking! If Miss Philippines goes to top5, she will end up in top 3 because of her good communication skills. That will make it hard for judges to judge the potential winner!
Can you also add in your post-pageant note about statics of women sporting short hair winning the title? I think it's the first time in years that we've since a short-haired girl won the crown.
Zozi from Sourh Africa won with short natural hair.
I don't know if I would call Nicaragua's hair short; although it is definitely shorter than most competitors. I have believed for a good while that it would be difficult for a non-black queen with short hair to secure the crown; Philippines being this year's example. It may happen someday soon but I can't recall the last time it happened.
C'mon, Michelle not being part of the top 5 is not a "surprise", it was a massive "shocker".
She deserved up to top 20😊😊
Not a shocker at all. MMD is overrated lol.
@@geeunit831and you're here too. You're showing how of a hater you are.
C'mon don't overreact. A massive shocker was Ireland not making the Top 5 in 2010. Michelle performance in Evening Gown was Top 5 deserving but remember that both swimsuit and evening gown scores are averaged to decide the Top 5 and Philippines wasn't necessarily one of the best in swimsuit out of the Top 5.
So true
was shocked that Philippines wasnt there
I loved how they combined the IMG coronation tracks for the finale (the one used for Pia, Demi, Cat and Zozi and the one for Iris)
I was crying earlier because they used the IMG soundtrack ❤❤❤
Hey PN - always good to see your stats and recaps. I thought it would be fun, what with Miss Nicaragua having just won (a country not known for placing that often), to do a summary of the delegates who’ve won a) without ever before placing b) after placing once c) on their first shot d) and so on.
Finland, France (for obvious reasons, as the pageant was young), Puerto Rico, Lebanon and Botswana come to mind. But I’ll leave it up to you - as the beautiful pageant nerd that you are - to come up with all the stats. Cheers.
Hi Robert! Thanks for your kind words and for your fabulous suggestion. I love it! I love making historic videos that have a relevance to recent events, so this fits the bill perfectly. As you may have seen I’ve covered drought breakers but one about something like “beginner’s luck” or “out of the blue” wins. Love it! I’ll get onto some TPN research 😘
@@PageantNerd 😘😘😘😘
If you ever come to Puerto Rico, you must look me up. I’ve been bestowed the title of Mayor of Condado Beach. (The gay section).
Yes seriously I was rooting for India and South Africa for Top 10 😢
Wooh, very professional recap and outstanding Top5 predictions (getting 4 of 5) and actual last 2 standing! Well done 👍
for me it was a three way tie. It was the board of judges final decision for Ms. nicaragua (1st crown ever). thank you so much. They're all great contestants mu2023. pageant from all over the universe. El salvador govt & people.Luv & Peace. Godbless all
Sorry you don't know much about it ..experts around the globe had Nicaragua as winner, finilist .top 3 etc
I love your videos 🎉😊❤
I like this video. The gentleman was very honest about his predicted outcomes
I thought Michelle Dee’s gown was edgy and cool, which was her whole vibe during the pageant. She dared stand out by having an edgy, modern look - far from the typical pageant look, and I loved it. Unfortunately, the judges were not ready for the look.
I'm sorry but she's not a winner you guys causing too many drama😅 so desperate for the crown I think the Judge is doing the right thing they're looking for someone who have a brain not a show-off I'm glad Miss Thailand is the first runner-up doesn't matter how many votes she got is depend on her performance and her an appearance 😅😅😅😐🤨🫵🏿
We are not desperate for a crown, we are just stating facts. And we evidence.
Correct good decision. But we are still proud because she is the best and be top 5. Miss philipines
@@josefatomaroy3947 yeah of course but she's not a winner lol 😆 😂 we need to 👏 for the winner not the top 5 ok 😉 😄 🤣
More like the judges saw her persona onstage was not authentic. I saw Michelle speak during interviews and the woman I saw speaking is not the woman I saw last night competing. Michelle McLean had said a winner is one who is onstage with her authentic self. The judges can usually catch on who’s authentic and who’s just putting on a performance.
We share the same thoughts regarding the "tattoo" gown of MMD. It is beautiful and it does carry amazing tribute and meaning (i'm a mountain guy myself here in the Philippines so this gown was a recognition to other members of the Philippine community). However, this avant garde piece seems to be a hard sell for the Miss Universe. Perhaps if it were to be worn in another Thailand-owned pageant it would have been better. Nonetheless, i agree with Nicaragua winning. Deserved win.
Aside from being the ONLY pageant nerd valid to be called so, you are a serene, correct and really agreable "commentator" on the topic.
I suscribed at munute three, though I desagree in some points, ja ja ja ja ja

Hello TPN is Ms Nicaragua SP somewhat related to Ms Universe of 1986 BPT?
I don’t believe so, no - I think it’s just an interesting coincidence, much the same as Amelia Vega (DR MU 2003) and Paulina Vega (COL MU 2014)!
Try to react on the post of the Miss Universe top 5 that Philippines was in it, but they announced Thailand instead.
The evening gown segment is a combo of visuals and projection. The judges aren't there to listen or look for the meaning behind the symbolism of the gown design. It was a refreshing change from the gold and silver gowns no doubt but came out harsh and severe and i thinkits what did her in. But she made us Pinoys proud with her overall performance. Salamat Michelle
Michelle should’ve gone for a softer look more in line with her personality. The styling she got was too severe and avant garde and not her at all. The judges picked up that she was showcasing a persona, instead of being her real self.
Hi TPN! Can you please make a video about Winning gowns nerdy facts such as winning colors, styles etc. Nerdy facts on winning gowns with gloves , capes etc. Congratulations and keep up the great work. Respectfully yours 🤗💪😍
Greetings handsome,
I'm Puertorican and live in Michigan, USA for over 35 years.
Love the idea of having 6 Miss Universe tittles for the island, but Miss Nicaragua was Miss Universe since she won her own national tittle!
Also Australian "nerd", really LOVE your videos regarding Miss Universe and appreciate all of your amazing information!!!! 😁
Johann
Hi TPN! I would like to make a request if you can make a video about updated departed Miss Universe Winners. 🤗😃💪
Hi Becky! Lovely to hear from you 🥰 Do you mean a video on the MU winners that have passed away?
@@PageantNerd Oh wow! Thank you for the reply. Yes that's what I mean.
I only had a list of 13 contestants and of those, seven made it in to the semi-finals with Miss Namibia being one of them! All of the final three were on my list, but I have known for months that Sheynnis was going to win the crown.
She was a favorite the moment she won her national pageant which you can still watch on MU’s RUclips channel. And with zero sash factor working to her advantage.
@@PungiFungiShe reminds me very much of the queens we used to see back in the 60s and 70s.
EL Salvador knocked it out of the ballpark hosting!!! One of the best live shows I’ve seen in a while!!!
Not quite. Wish the national costumes are back for the opening and the choreography was cringey. They had the girls just writhe their shoulders in a come hither way and I can see some of the contestants were embarrassed doing such lame moves. And talked about imitating the imitator, all the girls introduced themselves like it was Miss Grand International. All of the hosts make me lose brain cells listening to their inane chatter. I do give them credit in recognizing Bob Barker and Marisol Malaret and El Salvador’s Miss Congeniality who was an MU runner up.

Post Game Review
evee
I agree, Miss Philippines should’ve made Top 5. I thought her black evening gown looked stunning on her but it also reminded me of R’Bonney’s fierce black evening gown earlier this year.
That is why she didn’t make top 5. All titleholders are unique and do not remind you of anybody else but themselves.
A bitter observation from Miss Thailand she didnt even give a warm hug to Miss Nicaragua accepting her defeat..looks to be so bitter😮
Like a spoiled brat!
I noticed that 😂
Like the hug Venezuela gave R’bonney last year, right?
@@Verity888 2 wrongs don’t make a right
I saw clips taken by the audience in the hall. It's because the staff pulled Miss Thailand out right away so she really didn't have a chance to do anything. And there was no announcement to congratulate her as MU 1st runner up tho😢
Roger, we have the same reaction after it was announced that Ms U 2024 will be held in Mexico. They usually boo Miss USA whenever Miss Mexico misses a cut. I hope that this won't happen again 2024. Thank for your quick recap. Take care, TPN!
As an American I am nervous about Mexico 2024 as Miss USA has been booed every time Miss Universe (1993 and 2007) was held in Mexico. Both women were African American as a black man I didn't appreciate that. Plus Latinas will be favored again but had a feeling Nicaragua would win. I am happy will the diverse representation in the top 20 but wish that lasted into top 5. My predicted top 5 was Spain, Nicaragua, South Africa, Puerto Rico and the Philippines. I think they had to exclude certain ladies to help Nicaragua win.
@@stephenanderson1594 Mexico held the pageant two times prior before they won the crown. It was only after that they become emboldened and entitled. El Salvador now joined Mexico as being a country who hosted the pageant twice and have yet to win,
@@PungiFungi I think El Salvador was a gracious host and respectful fans.
Loved the video as always. I thought it was an incredibly exciting night. The new Miss Universe is absolutely dazzling, and it is so exciting to see SO much history being made not only for her but some other contestants. I will admit I was sad that Miss USA did not make it to top 10 and surprised by others as well and I was very disappointed about Michelle Dee not making it to the final 5. I actually loved her gown and LOVED how the entire time she stuck to her singular style and finished it out to the end. But all in all, a great Miss Universe season! XO Joseph from the US
You are so correct. You can say that again.
Some translator didn't do their job very well. Sometimes, candidates cannot find good words in aswering the question but when it is being translated into english, the translator will add up to the answer that will make the answer sounds good and relevant.
Really..Antonia's answer if Contest in Israel..she may definitely be crowned..in Thailand where War is a common occurrence... even the Pakistani media praised her response.
Paula resigning must mean something, even Esther who’s been very dedicated to her job left first back in May. And posted something right away after Paula announced her resignation. And mind you, Anne didn’t know about the resignation.
Anyway, I’m very happy for Nicaragua for bagging their first Miss U crown. She did outperform everyone on stage.
But the voice for change has been disregarded I think in my opinion coz none of the top 3 made it to the top 10 voice for change.
I love Ms. Philippines!
HI PGN - have been here since the beginning. When you will cover LIVE? SUGGESTED TOPIC - If you could back in time , which pageants would you have wanted to cover live? and why? 2004 Jennifer Hawkins? 2015 Las Vegas? WDYT?
So proud of Australia!!! Love from Mr Gay World Australia 2016. Very proud of her!
Fellow Australian here from Melbourne, Patrick. Was so proud of her too. Moraya is such a sweetheart, and it was just nice to see us make the semifinals. But she was amazing, and made it all the way to the top 3. Wish her every success, and hope good things follow for her when she comes back home :)
@@jameswalker68 I think it’s nice to have Australia back on the map properly after so many years of great semi-finalists! Until the last answer, the game was here to lose but I am so happy for Nicaragua and I’m always here for the win of dark horse country to spread the influence of pageants everywhere!
@@patrickmacdonald5539 Same here Patrick. I'm so delighted for Nicaragua - a well deserved win for a fabulous dark horse entrant! And you were in your own pageant too! Was it a wonderful experience? From memory you made top 6? Way to go yourself Mr!! :)
@@jameswalker68 Oh you're too kind! I was appointed too close to the international competition in Malta that year and withdrew voluntarily due to sponsorship and licensing issues. I would have loved to compete but because of that particular franchise I wasn't able to organise it myself at the last minute - it would have been a lifelong dream to go to the international finals, but unfortunately I could not make it happen in such a short timeframe. That said, a title is a title and I will always be the titleholder haha even though it was too close to the wire for me to make it happen for Australia with no budget and no prep time. I tried to make it work, but it wasn't achievable. These days, I have helped other pageant companies and contestants with judging, social media and cause platforms in Australia, Cameroon, and Germany.
@@patrickmacdonald5539 Aww....well done with all of that buddy - and yes. that national title for that year will always be yours! I'm sure I remember reading that you made it to the top 6 - but my old brain must have got it wrong! So sorry that you missed out on going to the international finals, but really happy as a pageant fan myself that you are still keeping your hand in and are still involved :)
Always enjoy the 'Nerdy facts'. I am just glad that Philippines is back on the semi finals again this year, it will take another decade to build that momentum again. I was shocked that Philippines did not make it to the top 5, but not surprise. Everyone knows how good Michelle on answering question. if she's on top 5, its over for everyone. Top 5 questions are all mediocre questions with all the girls 'pageant' answer. Puerto Rico made an obvious "pageant crime" on stage that I think the judges notice it too. Requesting for an Interpreter, then answer it with perfect English. By listening to the Interpreter, gives her enough time to think for her answer, while she already understands the judge question from the start. At least Miss Nicaragua answered the question genuinely. And finally I still don't get why Miss Australia is on top 3, apart from she's giving "Jennifer Hawkins" vibe, I should be happy that Australia place this year though. anyway great video. 😂
Thanks for your support, Nino - very much appreciated! I also appreciate you leaving your detailed comments… It’s true Michelle would’ve relished the chance to do a Q&A round, as would a few others, namely Bryoni and Noelia. Of course Michelle advanced a round further than both of them, but at the end of the day Michelle finished in the Top 10 and it had nothing to do with “dark forces” not wanting her to get in front of a microphone. She didn’t make the Top 5 because the judges selected other delegates to advance. Anyway, I could keep going, but it’s probably best I stop there! Thanks again for your kind words and generosity. All the best to you!
If Puerto Rico used the interpreter to buy a few seconds of time to think, it did not worked as she lost her nerves and totally freeze up.
@@PageantNerd To be honest. I’m just rooting for Michelle to get the semi finals, to see her swimsuit and long gown. When I saw her long gown, I was pretty sure that she is going to be on the top 5. Anyway there’s always next year.
Very happy with NICARAGUA winning and Thailand as 1st RU. I wish Puerto Rico placed 2nd RU and SAF in the Top 5. Very happy with Namibia, I was rooting for her in the Top 20.
Puerto Rico got visibly nervous and botched her response. Colombia blew her chance by not answering the question and tried to twist it around so she can again mentioned that she’s a mother. Australia got into the top 3 by default.
I really like your voice,I love you Roger
Nicaragua deserves the crown. But Philippines also deserves to be in the top 5
Siera Bearchell could “somewhat” be considered plus size and she made it to top 10 her year!
I knew Australia will be a pleasant surprise. The ultimate dark horse run.
Australia here - wasn't she great! So pleased for her, and that she made it so far and got to the top 3 :)
@@jameswalker68 She was actually not in most people's radar. I only actually knew of her a day before prelims in one of the random videos showing the girls buzzing through the venue. The crowd loved her and I saw why. She is simply beautiful and charming. And she pulled a surprise during the final. She was so refreshing to look at and seemed very lovely as person too. Congrats to Australia!
@@jxt1661 I agree with everything you say here! I think Australia is often not on the radar at Miss Universe - we are used to it! LOL. Unfortunately the national competition here isn't a big deal - I don't know anyone apart from me that takes an interest in it! But like you, had seen a couple of short clips of her, and felt she may have been one to watch. So very happy for Nicaragua as well - amazing delegate and well deserved winner :)
Michelle can very good the Q and A thats why they dont let it comes to top 5.
You are right 100%
#TPN I always had this question in mind which i wanted to ask you why all these amazing MU winners and other amazing MU contestants choose to compete at MW first and when they loose they go for MU. Isn't MU the biggest pageant and better than MW. Andrea Meza, Catriona Grey, Sheyonis Palacio, Michelle Dee& Julia Gama etc
Thank u sir that you observed also why MMd did not choose unto top 5❤
The first Plus size was Canada 2016. Sierra is also a pageant fan
Miss Brazil also deserved a classification… Once more, nobody attempted to her beautiful.. She behaved and performed very well. She was spontaneous and confidente!
Unfortunately, there is a plot against brazilian contestants! It is not possible that none of them be perfect!
Nicaragua answer in Spanish, to Win d Crowds in El
Salvador, she can Speak in English too. Congrats to Her
She is not a fluent English speaker like Puerto Rico or Thailand or even Chile, who obviously had lived in the US given how she sounded like an American.
TPN, who is this year’s El Tecuyo?! 😊
I do believe it’s Mexico this year!
Miss Philippines was cleared early in the competition to prevent her from snatching the crown. It would be very obvious if they do that in the top 3 head to head Q&A.
They are scared for Nicaragua to go head to head with Ms. Philippines. Why not have the strongest contenders go head to head . Thailand is poor I. Q& A. BOYCOTT Miss Universe!
Huhu
Why complain everytime your fav didn’t win? Accept and move on. Miss Nicaragua won fair and square in the eyes of non-biased viewers. From India🇮🇳
@@rebeccajinh14 It's okay to feel that way. You really didn't have a chance this year. 🤣
@@ConstellationOrion1 Well,I don’t really care much about nationality/which country wins or what not… duhh… 🕊️
