Completely agree with you Dani. I usually enjoy making my own predictions, but this year it felt pointless. Terrible stage, terrible camera angles, and terrible lighting. And I can’t believe they didn’t sweep the stage after national costume.
The ladies who I think might battle it out for the crown are Venezuela, Denmark, Thailand, Peru & Puerto Rico. The others are Mexico, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Honduras, Chile & the Philippines. Dominican Republic might be Miss El Tocuyo this year. She missed her marks even if the floor director was frantically waving his white gloved- hands and also the tiff with Miss Panama might hurt her chances
I personally regret buying the tickets to the pagent it was just chaotic but other than that Peru, chile, Venezuela, Zimbabwe and Thailand were amazing
Maybe you don't know that the evening gown was not scored in the preliminary. Miss Universe this year highlighted more on culture of the country that is why natcos will have the score and the swimsuit. The best in evening gown will be chosen by the fans thru voting.
Can you please do everyone a favor and suggest to them during the preliminary to not scream the name of the country it is so annoying and I’m sure with your lovely disposition. You’ll be able to talk them into it. Thank you for all you do.
I agree, the stage was small and UGLY AF! Wth Mexico! I don't understand! It was like how Atlanta had that mess of a preliminary stage (year that Demi won), was ugly af! The cameras were a mess too! Ok no hate on the presenters, current MU and RBonney but it sounded screeching, there wasn't a balance of voices. Also, what kind of format is that BS for evening gown? How da heck or why change what has worked for decades! Give these ladies their time to shine and display their look and to give them their solo time to walk and slay but this year MU took that away! What is going on! Just very disappointed and the worse part is that it's not fair for the contestants. Also, why did they not do the national costume on a different day!?!? So silly and dumb! Talk about senseless stress imposed on these ladies. Smh MU.
Worst preliminary show since I've been following MU. So disrespectful to the women and their teams. These owners were all talk, and under delivered. MGI and Miss Cosmo basically made MU look like a 2nd tier pageant, by giving the women their deserved time onstage to shine.
THANKS FOR DOING THIS DANI!!!
Sis they’re calling it the mannequin challenge for the prelim gown segment 😅

South Africa withdrawing broke me 😭
Your inputs are fantastic. Tnx.

I'm waiting for this
Hello Dani!
Maybe you don't know that the evening gown was not scored in the preliminary. Miss Universe this year highlighted more on culture of the country that is why natcos will have the score and the swimsuit. The best in evening gown will be chosen by the fans thru voting.
Thanks Dani! I have a question. When announcing the 30 finalists today will they allow all 30 to walk on the evening gown ? Or only the top 12?
Top 30 will all walk out in swimsuit while the Top 12 will all show up in evening gown.
Hi Dani! How's your trip to the Philippines?
Dani what time is the show?
Why did South Africa 🇿🇦 withdraw from the competition ???
Can you please do everyone a favor and suggest to them during the preliminary to not scream the name of the country it is so annoying and I’m sure with your lovely disposition. You’ll be able to talk them into it. Thank you for all you do.
I had to stop watching prelim swim because of the screaming of the country name. I hope they don’t do this for finals!
We are not happy and impressed also with the staging of the prelims. The stage looked so small.
