But I was so sure!! So it turns out that the woman I highly praised, Russia's Irina Antonenko didn't easily take the Miss Universe crown after all. In fact, she was eliminated in the swimsuit roundto finish in 11th place! Oh, the agony! It just goes to show the randomness of pageants and how at a different time on a different night with a different set of judges in a different venue, the resultscould have been completely different.

This year for a third year in a row, a Latin girl, Mexico's Ximena Navarrete captured the crown which really shows that the Latins know the importance of powerful stage presentation. I also...
