这是GB在看完预赛之后滴感想,,大家仅供参考哈~5/26 - GB Miss U'07 - Honey Lee of Korea has swapped most GB special awards in this year's Miss Universe pageant and appears as the #1 favorite for the crown. Some pageant historians go as far as saying that she is one of the most perfect beauties to have ever stepped on a Miss Universe stage. Second place went to Miss Venezuela, another huge favorites who is close to perfection. See the complete results HERE. - New Favorites - The Presentation Show, which took place last Wednesday night in Mexico City, added some spice to the competition, since new favorites emerged and former favorites did not show as much as expected. Among these emerging favorites are two now very strong contenders for the crown: Italy and Thailand. Both nailed every single presentation and rose to the skies as hot favorites. Misses Nicaragua and Guatemala now represent a real hope for Central America to do something in this year's pageant, while Miss New Zealand showed the strength of the lands Down Under. Indonesia proved that she could pull a surprise as well, and so did Albania. Slovenia was regal, and could perfectly become a new Angela Visser (Miss Universe from Holland crowned in Mexico 18 years ago). Exotic Jamaica is also competing strongly. Watch out for Denmark and Dominican Republic, they seem to know what they are doing. Korea, Venezuela, Japan, USA, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Angola, South Africa, Tanzania, Paraguay, Bolivia, Serbia and Estonia are still strong. Greece did not deliver what her legion of fans and followers expected, but her beauty and charms transcend and she could still go all the way and take the big prize home. India failed to impress the press. 

/27 - The Mexican Paparazzo is back - "Hola amigos! Tomorrow a new Miss Universe will be crowned, and who will be our new reina??? As I said before, I attended the presentation show and could observe our "athletes" (yes, after one month of competition I think we can call them athletes!) from a close distance. Let me begin by saying that this might be the year of the dragon or the blonde, meaning, expect as the winner an Asian or an Eastern European "knock-out".The girls from Europe: I see Spain as the front-runner in the region, since she is well-liked by all in Mexico, has beauty and performed well last Wednesday night. Estonia and Greece follow her. Estonia is tall, sexy, impressive. Greece has been a favorite since the beginning, and even though her presentation wasn't the best, I am sure she can still pull it. Russia looks like a classical beauty from those old movies, I particularly like her, while Serbia is stunning, sexy, ravishing! Italy surprised us all, let's see how far she can go. Asia & the Pacific: Korea is perfect. I thought she was good, but on Wednesday she proved to be THE BEST after delivering two flawless presentations. She could (and should) take it all. Japan is her major competition in the group. She also did everything right, but could not reach Korea's perfection level. Thailand is the third WOW candidate from the region, she was amazing, a great surprise. I believe the three above mentioned to be sure bets for semifinal spots, and trying to cause a surprise are New Zealand, Philippines, China and Kazakhstan. India must count on the weight of her sash, she was not really impressive (but could've been saved by a good interview).South America: Venezuela is the only candidate in the region who I believe will be fighting for the title. Unlike India, Venezuela was able to bring the magic back and regained the trust of Venezuelan fans. Peru is the 2nd best choice in the region, followed by Brazil and Paraguay (at least three of these 4 beauties will be at the semifinals). Bolivia and Ecuador could pull a surprise and even Argentina was able to display excellent runway skills and may sneak into the semifinals (although she's still a very long shot).North & Central America: I might keep my identity secret after what I am going to say next, but I must be honest. Miss USA is the one to beat in this region. She's been doing a terrific job and should get far in the competition. Our Rosa Maria (Mexico) comes right next, and I am sure, this time Mexico will do well competing at home. Guatemala and Nicaragua are two good reasons for Central American pride. In my opinion, both have made the cut. Then we have elegant Panama, sexy Costa Rica and stunning Canada running as possible surprises (I had Canada as a sure bet, but a wrong gown choice made me change my mind).Caribbean: no sure bets here, but Jamaica reigns supreme in the Caribbean! She could be the one from this region. Puerto Rico is still strong, although her presentation was pale. I still think that she has a "assured spot" waiting for her (permanent member of the Security Council, remember?). The Dominican Republic literally grew on stage, and many believe she did enough to impress the judges. Long shots who could still at least dream are Aruba, St. Lucia and the US Virgin Islands.Africa and the Middle East: there are three real contenders here - Tanzania, South Africa and Angola. All three are believed to be capable of even fighting for the title. The others, I am sorry but no chance.As you know, I say whatever comes to my mind, so here is my opinion about the presentation show's biggest disasters: Georgia was the worst in swimsuit and Belgium in evening gown (sorry girls, you should've put more effort in this!). Strong delegates who should change their gowns at the final night are Nicaragua, Peru, Poland, Puerto Rico, Tanzania and Venezuela.Who will be the next Miss Universe? Some say Mexico will take it, others believe Venezuela, but I still go with a dragon (Korea, Thailand or Japan), or a blonde (Serbia, Estonia or Russia).Suerte a todas!"
