Canada! She is the first indigenous woman to hold the title and the first indigenous woman to be a sports illustrated swimsuit model. She is she's also a host, very well spoken. Stunning and a great story to tell!
Imagine our queen can change the whole world..... people suffering the same disability can have a new productive life,we're proud of our QUEEN MIA MISS SA 🙏👏🇿🇦💝💐😘😘
she has this "i'm too good" vibe. this is my personal observation. I mean there is other pageant commentator who also mentioned about the not-so-good behaviour of DR ever since 2022.......
The MU organisation should start doing better. It's not always Latina or from India, automatically. Please may we see some real authenticity - like Miss SA, Mia Le Roux?
Opal has been my front runner since she won Thailand. Many reasons. At the National competition she said something to the effect of I have unfinished business, after being a runner up a previous year and she was NOT playing. There is a certain type of satisfaction when you become a fan and then just watch the way they execute. The other day when her jewelry and outfit matched the new crown and she was playing the ukulele around a group of the other girls, it was just MORE things that I wasn’t expecting but am absolutely LIVING for. I also love her platform and continued work and just the way she carries herself and represents her country. One thing’s for sure, this is a very tough year.😮
It’s Thailand’s destiny this year. It’s been years, they were close to giving the crown to Antonia last year. Opal has absolutely everything to be the 3rd crown winner for Thailand 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Exactly, the owners have the last word on who is going to win. It's about time someone from the lesser known countries take the title IF THEY HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY QUALITIES.
I think on the higher placement, there will be, of course, Thailand, Mexico & Venezuela because of the MU owners' country favourites, but let's see if I am right & on the other hands I can see Philippines, , South africa, chilé & india so much potential deserve to be in the top 10 to get a chance to be crown MU 2024

Hello from Canada. Enjoyed the podcast. Nia I am with your husband I have always wondered why Puerto Rico didn’t compete in the USA pageant. But had their own representative. I appreciated the little bit of explanation even though it is a “pageant video”. 😊 I’m hoping our miss Canada does well tonight. I would love to see her reach the top 30. I’m an avid pageant fan of over 50 years. So even though I’m in my senior years I never miss a pageant. I truly thought you won that year at miss universe. And was surprised when you were called first runner up. It makes me so happy to hear how you came to have peace with your placement. Thank you again for your very real conversation. Cheers Raylene from western Canada. 🇨🇦 ❤
5:50 Gal Gadot (aka Wonder Woman) did say that in one of her interviews. She said that she "was always late and often did not wear the prescribed attire during certain events-- all on purpose because she did not want to win".
Love your energy!!! @6:16 From watching Miss Congeniality movie I always wondered if pageants can do that. @7:15 Yes that was an oopsie. Miss Lebanon decided not to go to Mexico City due to that until Miss U apologized. @10:19 Pia is amazing but that was also the year Steve Harvey did the mistake which made headlines everywhere which resulted in free advertising for Miss U. @20:33 if cities back in 2014 paid $3-4 million, I'd imagine it's probably over $6 million nowadays! @21:25 thank you for saying crying is normal!!!!
Bonaire is part of the Netherlands Antilles just a few miles off the coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean sea. Aruba and Curacao are part of the Netherlands Antilles as well.
Honestly if they want to expand the brand, they need to have more winners from other countries other than the powerhouses, like in the old days pre 2010s. The current powerhouses' fans will always be there, and they should expand this fanbase more.
Great podcast! You need to have me as a guest sometime as I am probably the oldest USA Missologist with great stories going back to 1952!!! PS I would love to see Denmark win this year.
OMG YOU SAID GUAM & MICRONESIA!!! 😭😭😭 obviously I’m a huge fan of yours but never would think I’d tune into an episode and you said the island I was born on and the region I’m from. This was awesome!
35:15 Puerto Rico is not part of the US. It is a non incorporated territory of the US that is why we compete in the Olympics, Miss Universe and other international events. By United Nations definition, Puerto Rico has its own language, culture and identity to be considered a country.
15:44 Sash factor, in its simplest term, means that it is a nation that has a strong contention to place or win because of their popularity, influence, charisma, charm, and even nowadays-- fanbase.
6:27 This was evident during the 2016 (held in January 2017) edition when one of the Latinas (GUESS WHO!!) displayed such immature behavior during the pre-pageant events. Miss Universe Canada 2016 (MU 2016 top 13 and 9 finalist) did mention this as well in one of her past vlogs that the organization can in fact remove a delegate with bad attitude in spite of her doing well during prelims, hence the phrase "... together with the votes of the Miss Universe organization" is always said just before the top 15 is announced.
PHILIPPINE representative in 73rd MISS UNIVERSE is undeniable why?Her comskills is by far among the best if ever she win I don't think people/fans are agree but if she prove by answering whatever questions coming from any judges I'm 100% sure she can give the best winning answer I know her so well, she always answer those questions thrown to her she always start STRONG and end it more even stronger that you cannot see any whole in her winning answer that's why she ends up the WINNER.
@NiaSanchez ❤🇧🇶 Bonaire is in the Caribbean right off the coast of Venezuela. Back in 1999 Bonaire was one of the favorites that didn't make it to the Top 10 along with Miss USA and the host country that year, Trinidad and Tobago 💞 you and your hubby are so CUTE! LOVED this episode 🙏
If you're going to evaluate Miss Universe you have to analyze it from a political and business perspective, it's not really about the prettiest or smartest girl, it's about who's gonna generate more revenue and bring in more business to the company, the people who run the business can't really look at these girls from an emotional frame because in the end it is a business and there are really no specific parameters to guage beauty because beauty is perceptual and interpretative. Why is it political? Well, after you gather a certain amount of country delegates/representatives in one event, automatically you have to look at it from a political perspective, which is one of the reasons why you have to leave religion out of the competition, Anne Jakrajutatip is a very smart woman, and she played well by choosing Nicaragua as her presentation card last year, this was her saying I'm going to pick the girl with the humblest story, whose country is in political crisis and going through a lot of hardship to make it even more compelling, but in the end it's about interests, money, political and business and the fact that this Thai business lady amidst her financial crisis was able to gather 130 countries for the very first time in a beauty pageant, breaking records, goes to show her skills and capacity for business. It's the same like politics, certain people go crazy over it, but it's all staged.
I don’t trust this new owner from the very beginning. That video is very telling of the kind of organization handling Miss Universe 2024. Nia, you deserve a different co host. Next!🇺🇸🇵🇭
-I think Miss grand international is kind of rigged. The owner Mr.Nawat-it seems to me he has the final say which is kind of like not fair is like what are the judges there for/0h by the way Nia in 2014 I predicted that you would win miss USA I went online and I told my coworkers miss Nevada is going to win miss USA this year true story! Great subject matter for your Vlog!
Have you seen the leaked videos of miss universe? Please do. I don’t know why is there such a competition? It is unethical for me to have such competition in the world. Now, there is standard of beauty. Better is to compete for platforms by each country and the results of it after several years. Contestants in t he beauty contest may have platforms that are not believable. Please stop beauty pageants. We are all beautiful in the eyes of God. Look at you Miss Nia, your beauty is ageless, more beautiful than without makeups. What I can say is the miss universe is a moneymaking platform and not really an advocacy. Pitiful that people spend money , millions at that, for a title that is rigged and then the winner continuously shines in many events but the platform has not been there anymore.
Bakit presented mo pa na u are from Philippines para kunwari you are not bias. Biases ay sa mga short-minded lang yon. I think u need not boast because it’s self serving. Every one has the right to have his/her own choice naman di ba?. Tanx
Philippines has so much to offer, having a unique advocacy for Filipino people who need to leave the country for better opportunities, so many different professions could relate to this including nurses, caregivers, and many more. Physical appearance, Tyra banks ticked all her boxes.
Philippines, Canada, New Zealand, Peru, Zimbabwe and Denmark
South Africa this year is very underrated! But I think she has a story to tell ❤
She has a story to tell, but she must also have the performance to back it up.
It appears that she has been "watered down". There appears to be a swing towards certain groups.?
Absolutely! Please may we hear a real story as opposed to the same winning with the same plastic surgery than before?
Just wait and shell surprise us in the finals
Don't all of the ladies have a story to tell?
Canada! She is the first indigenous woman to hold the title and the first indigenous woman to be a sports illustrated swimsuit model. She is she's also a host, very well spoken. Stunning and a great story to tell!
I agree Philippines is naturally beautiful..
South Africa, the fist deaf beauty queen

You missed India, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and they are equally stunning...

its not about the RIGGED.
Its about who the owners wanted to WIN.
But the FINALS night performance will be the Gauge in winning

I think the universal language is English. We shouldn’t disqualified someone because they don’t speak English or Spanish.
Philippines will nail the prelims,watch out fpr her..
