Dani, you are the gift that keeps on giving! Great work! You need to do a report on the pageant organizations in Trinidad and Tobago because some contestants and other people are talking about the missed treatment. The current Miss Universe T&T organization has treated both of their crowned winners (2022 & 2023) badly and don't even offer prizes. It just keeps getting worse. The 2024 cohort is very weak and should just sit out this pageant season.
@DaniWalker Yes, it is horrible! There was so much promise and hope when someone obtained the pageant license after a 5 year hiatus. Sadly, after their first year, things went downhill. The winners want no association with the organizations because of what they endure. Tya-Jané Ramey (Miss Universe T&T 2022) was silenced and discarded throughout her entire reign. Tya-Jané and Faith received little to no help or assistance from C&S for Miss Universe. What you saw was work and dedication from their personal team and supporters. C&S only showed up to the pageant to show "support." I can go on with things that are being done to these poor women. Unfortunately, they are the ones who suffer. Dani, the same organization owns the Mister and Miss Supranational pageant license. Noticed that in both 2023 and 2024, Miss Supranational T&T didn't place like before. That's no fault of their representatives. Miss Supranational T&T 2023 was appointed like 2 weeks before the main pageant, while Miss Supranational T&T 2024 was selected 1.5 months ago. That is not enough time to prep for a major competition. Also, the ugly preliminary dress worn by Miss Supranational T&T 2023 was decided by the director. Infact, he is infamous for selecting ugly gowns for the girls to wear. Also, Miss Supranational T&T 2022 only received three runway lessons and was expected to do well during competition. Needless to say, the organization has a horrible track record. They take these women money and give then little to nothing in return.
That’s because Osmel was always the big deal and trust me this year he has the best team for miss universe Mexico not to mention the girls ❤ they are all fire 🔥
Entrance fee of MU india organization is now 7X what Miss Diva organization was charging, they charged nominal fee, sponsored gowns and jewelry for all contestants that made the cut, plus gave them free stay at 5 star hotels and trained them for months. This era is all about profits and extorting gals and viewers
@sanidhyatrivedi4689 also they don't sponsor gowns like Miss Diva, gowns are expensive man, it's impossible for poor gals to buy one, and the designer generally avoid lending to pageant girls
Ghamand is a scamming pageant history of that organisation is not a good chapter.Owner of the organisation is only behind money .Their staff is very unprofessional
@@crs5305 it’s definitely unprofessional to screen record it, especially when they had a solid social media director that stepped down and wouldn’t have let that happen, but that doesn’t feel like something so bad dani couldn’t mention it
There you go...Layla Rose and Khun Anne are too conceited and incompetent to know what loyalty is.Add Raul and you know they only want to make money and they're picking national license holders with the same mindset.It's so disrespectful to the women competing all over the world and that's what hurts me as a fan.
@@praveenkumar-wo2csisn’t it 2years ago I think that the new national director of Indonesia is Mr. Anne's "BFF"? What happened? Did they have a cat fight?
As someone who finally has the chance to compete (as a married woman) and competed last month, I’m thankful to have competed during Paula & Ryan’s last year as directors… so sad to see what is happening with Miss USA as someone who has been a fan & a dream of mine to be a titleholder. Paula & Ryan are the most kind people ❤
I have been a fan of Miss USA since 1988 as i named my daughter after Miss USA 1988 Courtney Gibbs ever since then i have been hooked it's a shame how the direction of this Fantastic Pageant is going in the wrong Direction . How did you do at the pageant you were in last month
What’s happening is so very sad. But, your delivery of all this disheartening news, is so on point, eloquent and clearly defined. Dani, you should be at the helm of Miss USA and Miss Universe you can fix all the ick and restore it back to its glory days.
If you're married and a mother, you have ZERO business in beauty pageant... have some grace for yourself and be a good wife and a good mother for your family... you do not belong on stage to show off your body to the world... the sight of your beauty and body belong to the eyes of your husband.... your glorious days are long gone... just be a good mother like Celine Dion is.... the world does not need you to be another Madonna... show some self-respect and keep your integrity.... be a good mother to your kids..😊😊
dani, the situation with the miss universe brazil organization looks quite strange as well. recently, a new national director took over. he had previously organized other contests for different franchises and has accusations from former contestants who never received their prizes (in one story, a delegate won the contest but never had her tickets purchased to compete in the international stage). since the new management took over, 11 state directors have resigned. now, strong rumors say that the new national director has personal interests in electing a contestant he has known for many years, gabriele marinho. she was in the top 5 at miss universe brazil 2016 and in 2024 won the miss universe alagoas crown (the same state as the new national director). she is already considered a huge favorite for miss universe brazil 2024. ive been following miss universe for so many years now, its so sad to see things going this way.
I am having a feeling that with new directors coming in, most of whom apparently are in cahoots with Anne, they will just appoint someone they want to compete with the excuse they didn't have time to organize a contest.
From what I know in Brazil a lot of existing state directors dropped their licenses when the new owner was named. I feel bad because I've been following Miss Brasil since 2011 and it's just been going down since.
Dani, does Paula Miles give you "Julia Sugarbaker" (of "Designing Women" played the great Dixie Carter) vibes. I have a degree in journalism and the words she wrote gave me chills because she spoke very eloquently yet throwing SHADE at the current leaders at The Miss USA organization. Thank you sharing ... OH P.S. - You looked STUNNING in Poland!!! You & Luis make a great team to be commentators for future pageants!! xo
Puteri indonesia frm Indonesia , UNI network for Vietnam and Miss Diva from India and Mexicana universal they'll been faithful to Miss universe but Khun Ann without proper intimation gave license to other organisation and inturn those organisations didn't take in bidding for miss Universe license
I am not surprised at all. Miss USA is being held in August. Miss Universe will be held in September. I wonder if the eventual winner will have enough time to create a national costume and get her outfits ready?
Also, was this a fever dream or one of the directors also announced at their state pageant that 2024 would be the last year they will send a delegate to Miss USA? I competed this year and don’t regret the experience, but the disorganization and lack of transparency is unjustifiable for the amount of time, money, and effort we put into our sport. The silence is deafening.
The photo of the Virgin Islands Universe winner is from the British Virgin Islands which means both the USVI and the BVI are facing national director issues and they don't even have the same director. Sad to see this
I have always maintained to let the new ownership of the MU expose their true nature. Since then, MU has lost its glitter. It’s all about $$ which is fine, they have a right to make a profit but when you step all over people to do it, it will be exposed. The thing with Layla Rose, I can’t speak for sure but I just feel it’s a money thing as in lack of money. I’m not defending her but it cost money to run things and I think MU is punishing the US for being the owner of the pageant for so long. Out of spite, out of jealousy. So Layla Rose is a symptom of the cause. Toxic and I still blame the mother ship, the MU organization.
Louisiana will never be the same without Paula, Ryan, and Team RPM. I've never heard of any other state director having to deal with the absolute nonsense they were faced with over the last year. Wishing them all the best... 🖤
I can't even fathom, that Miss Universe USA and the drama of the organisation as a whole completely dismantled the sole purpose to why there is an opportunity like this. I have followed Miss Universe since I was a child, and my mother spoke so highly of it and now that I am in my 30s I was so impressed how it changed the face of pageantry, no longer was about beauty but the advocacy and what and how these women can change the world extending the voice of women from all walks of life.
You said that right like even miss diva let go of their license and allegedly said that "we they might return after few years" probably meaning after Ann leaves mu
There are lots of issues and scandals but I think we ignore an elephant in the room. Pagentry gets less and less of public attention. How can a business go if few watch these very expensive shows? I'm from eastern Europe myself and MU or MW are never broadcast on TV nobody knows the current title holder etc. As far as I know pageants became much less popular in the US and many other western countries. I feel like we'll not have big international pageants in upcoming decade or two. Although of course the US and countries from Latin America and Asia will still have local pageants. Honestly I have mixed feelings about the situation. I'm sad because I liked watching these shows since I was a child but at the same time as a woman I know that pageants used to have misogynistic past and still are meat&bones no mater how they try to sugarcoat it 😕
More directors, long term, tenured directors, will be leaving if Laylah doesn't go. Guarantee the winner will only be someone Laylah has chosen or who has connections that Laylah can use, but she is worse than Crystal.
It is going to be VERY interesting to see how Miss USA pans out this cycle. The caliber of the contestants this year is truly one of the most beautiful facially groups I have seen and while beauty is only ONE small part of a successful title holder, I was actually surprised to see this class of Miss USA. Miss Arizona, I believe is 41 years old. She is GORGEOUS. Facially and otherwise. I will be VERY interested to see if she places in the semi-finals and if she goes further. Proof as they say is in the pudding. I had such a heavy heart after R'Bonney's reign and thought we would never see a Miss USA be crowned again. The turmoil in the USA and in the Miss Universe brand continue and only time will tell if it will right itself. Very curious to see your videos regarding this year's class. If I were to bet today for USA I have to go with Texas. She is so stunning that I actually was taken aback. Can't wait to see your first Miss USA video and of course always thank you for the data. XO Joseph from the US
I pray they don't intimidate you or pay you to shut up because some of the allegations here are so disgusting for these young women to face at the hands of people who claim they are for women's empowerment!
Thank you so much for doing this episode...I hope other pageant fans..organizations should do something locally....I am a nurse (RN) in my field there's a compliance body of organization that oversee rules & regulations. Perhaps this can be done and pageant should gave a stamp of "approval" to make sure safety are always in place to protect candidates, fans and others. I saw a video of Steve Harvey the other day and Miss Colombia mentioned that she prepared for the event since she was you only to be humiliated on international stage.. A simple sorry is not enough...
Oops! I looked at some of the contestants' bios BEFORE coming here to watch this video......and I see there are typos in their bios! And this is after you say you've already mentioned it? Hmmm 🤔
😢 I have been a pageant fan since I was a little girl. Ms. Universe excites me so much every summer. After R’Bonney’s winning (She’s my favorite Miss Universe).. i feel that pageantry in US and Miss Universe has become such a chaos. I completely respect transgenders but they shouldn’t be mixed with real women, they should have their own pageant. Mixing them with real women.. the young girls who have worked so hard with a dream, then having transgenders win… is sad. It’s like having a transgender in women’s basketball.. they have all the advantages… I hope more women - real woman will stand for women. It’s not being offensive, it’s being fair. Peace. ✌🏼
When Miss Hooters was way organized than it’s national pageant itself! I’m just saying. If blocking is their way of shutting off fans, I am raising red flag with that one.
Can you make a video about the Miss USA state competition prize packages? I can't find ANY information on it and am not sure if it's even worth competing.
Am so glad that Puteri Indonesia is no longer holding the franchise. And this year, they even got a better achievement. Such a good karma after what the org did to them.
Dani is now our official pageant detective. Keep 'em coming and expose what needs to be exposed. In the end, pageants should be a source of inspiration for these women and not a "cash grab" for those who signs the cheques. ❤️ from PH. Sidenote: Shamcey better not do this for MUPhilippines or its going to be a bloodbath with the fans. Hahahaha. Ill be your Phillipine Correspondent Dani. 😂😂😂
@@DaniWalker MUO will never be the same without Paula S. Sadly, with all the controversy the organization is facing right now it has somehow lost its "sparkle", that "Disney Magic" of a feeling. I am optimistic that social media will inevitably work its power to correct this trajectory. Thanks for replying Dani.
@@DaniWalker Hot Tea! MUO initially posted Jonas Gaffud (former Creative Director for MUPH) as the NEW National Director of MUPh and deleted him afterwards. Haha
@@DaniWalker Looks legit. Shamcey removed that title from her instagram. Point is, who is running MUOs social media to have lousy errors like this? First was the Miss America crowning, now this.. Haha
@@frostyskeletons8950The original video is on Instagram where views don't matter and it's from the venue that is hosting the pageant, not the pageant itself. It is NOT overs*xualized, nothing out out of the norm for pageants so not sure what the 1st problem with it is.
i can't tell why the promo video was so controversial, but it's ROUGH 💀 nobody interacting with the winner in the footage, the ugly fonts, and the wrong footage is just crazy
Dani the pic you showed of the reigning US Virgin Island is actually the reigning British Virgin Island. The last time US Virgin Islandd entered Miss Universe was in 2016...which sucks considering it's a US territory and they're US. Citizens and have resources available ($$$$$$$$) But with that said....to have the contestants flip the bill is so unethical and the organization should always deliver on their prizes for their title holders and if they dont...there should be consequences. People forget that Leadership is about people and good leaders aren't above getting criticized. The people running Miss USA and MUO really need to fig out what the purpose of the organization really is and plan accordingly. At present it seems like they're intentionally destroying the organization. It's just unfortunate that people like yourself Dani who actually care, aren't hired into these organizations to help to lead it or run it.
Dani, You have always wanted to see the organization succeed and the young ladies complete in an inclusive and positive environment. They should just appoint you to oversee everything.
I'm so embarrassed for this! WHAT A JOKE!!!! The leaked video should've changed everything. AI - bwahahahaa! Nice attempt! Dani, you are AMAZING!!!! Thank you!
MU is past its Glory Days. Perhaps it’s time to just discontinue them. Miss Universe’s heydays were in the 70s and 80s. After that they seemed to be fake and quite trashy.
I just found out that the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA organization announced that Ricardo Patraca, a Mexican crown maker is going to make new crowns. He made the Miss Charm crown and he did a new crown for Miss Supranational 2022, the last winner to wear it was Andrea Aguilera, but apparently they brought back the George Wittels crown. Note: I don't like the crowns Mr. Patraca, they look look tacky in my they look tacky and cheaply made.
Guess what country started the reality show first? MALAYSIA!!! About 12 years ago Miss Universe Malaysia started the Road to Miss Universe Malaysia reality show during pageant week, thanks to Andrea Fonseca the ND at that time. ❤
I dont know how they joined a person like osmel if they really cares about inclusion and all When it was announced that osmel will be part of MU team i felt shameful being the greatest supporter of pageants
You were talking about US Virgin Islands but showed a picture of Miss British Virgin Islands. They are two different events with two different organizations.
The Miss Universe Organization right after what’s been transpired is just downright DISASTROUS! The leadership (especially Kuhn Anne) is desecrating the aura and the legacy of this Institution of Pageantry and what Paula said on that resignation speech is absolutely on the nose, Greed & Ego is infesting within and Anne is the Personification Of THAT!
I think I found the 2nd thing wrong with the promo video. Is it that Miss USA 1957, Leona Gage was dethroned because she was married. Now that married women can compete, was she suddenly un-dethroned?
I can’t wait for the day until you’re legally able to share everything you know with us. Additionally I can’t wait for the day when miss gorl Laylerrr gets the boot. The beaming smile across your face on the thumbnail …. Laylah Rose “resigns” …. I can see it now 😂
Hey Dani, talking about crisis in other countries, do you know what is going on with Mexico's peagent?! I dont even understand all the changes they're doing while they're getting ready to host this year
I really appreciate when Dani is always up for different teas☕️ Always here to support! Binibining Pilipinas 2024 recap, perhaps reaction, would be a great content❤
Can we petition for you to be the director already. Someone who knows the system and can bring some glamour and prestige back. Like I will take chi, Chinese laundry, Sherri hill, and opi at this point. Real sponsors pleaseeee.
Mexico’s long term director lost the license right before the past miss universe. Then the new director stepped down in May 2024 and then the NEW NEW director stepped down July 2024
Look like if there are any reps from Mexico and Nicaragua for this year, they are going to be appointments, probably the runner up from the last national competition, as it seems there are no franchise holders for them.

The caliber of the contestants this year is truly one of the most beautiful facially groups I have seen and while beauty is only ONE small part of a successful title holder, I was actually surprised to see this class of Miss USA. Miss Arizona, I believe is 41 years old. She is GORGEOUS. Facially and otherwise. I will be VERY interested to see if she places in the semi-finals and if she goes further. Proof as they say is in the pudding. I had such a heavy heart after R'Bonney's reign and thought we would never see a Miss USA be crowned again. The turmoil in the USA and in the Miss Universe brand continue and only time will tell if it will right itself. Very curious to see your videos regarding this year's class. If I were to bet today for USA I have to go with Texas. She is so stunning that I actually was taken aback. Can't wait to see your first Miss USA video and of course always thank you for the data. XO Joseph from the US
I agree, soooo facially beautiful this year. Can't wait to share my new episode about the ladies.
WAITING FOR BB PILIPINAS, MISS USA HEADSHOT FAVORITES, MUT FAVORITES
I would like to know what the first mistake on the promo is.b
Theyre using the footage of miss america
@@lbee8158 I know, but I thought there was a second issue
I pray they don't intimidate you or pay you to shut up because some of the allegations here are so disgusting for these young women to face at the hands of people who claim they are for women's empowerment!
Thank you so much for doing this episode...I hope other pageant fans..organizations should do something locally....I am a nurse (RN) in my field there's a compliance body of organization that oversee rules & regulations. Perhaps this can be done and pageant should gave a stamp of "approval" to make sure safety are always in place to protect candidates, fans and others. I saw a video of Steve Harvey the other day and Miss Colombia mentioned that she prepared for the event since she was you only to be humiliated on international stage.. A simple sorry is not enough...
You're very welcome
Oops! I looked at some of the contestants' bios BEFORE coming here to watch this video......and I see there are typos in their bios! And this is after you say you've already mentioned it? Hmmm 🤔

😢 I have been a pageant fan since I was a little girl. Ms. Universe excites me so much every summer. After R’Bonney’s winning (She’s my favorite Miss Universe).. i feel that pageantry in US and Miss Universe has become such a chaos. I completely respect transgenders but they shouldn’t be mixed with real women, they should have their own pageant. Mixing them with real women.. the young girls who have worked so hard with a dream, then having transgenders win… is sad. It’s like having a transgender in women’s basketball.. they have all the advantages… I hope more women - real woman will stand for women. It’s not being offensive, it’s being fair. Peace. ✌🏼
Jonas Gafud is the new MUph national director, Shamcey supsup resigned.
thanks Dani... very comprehensive and Brave! ❤❤❤
When Miss Hooters was way organized than it’s national pageant itself! I’m just saying. If blocking is their way of shutting off fans, I am raising red flag with that one.
NOT a Miss America crowning in the reel. A shame.
@@user-xn9pt2gb3b 🙈🙈🙈
Can you make a video about the Miss USA state competition prize packages? I can't find ANY information on it and am not sure if it's even worth competing.
Am so glad that Puteri Indonesia is no longer holding the franchise. And this year, they even got a better achievement. Such a good karma after what the org did to them.
Isn't it the national director of miss universe Indonesia is Mr. Anne's "BBF"? What happened? Did they have a cat fight?
Thank you so much Dani. I just hope and pray this is worked out soon for the contestants/family. Keep you excellent information coming. :)
So why even enter as a contestant?? Ridiculous.
Hi Ms. Dani ❤❤❤
Hello!!
Dani is now our official pageant detective. Keep 'em coming and expose what needs to be exposed. In the end, pageants should be a source of inspiration for these women and not a "cash grab" for those who signs the cheques. ❤️ from PH.
Sidenote: Shamcey better not do this for MUPhilippines or its going to be a bloodbath with the fans. Hahahaha. Ill be your Phillipine Correspondent Dani. 😂😂😂
I agree, pageantry is about the contestants. There are ways to make it profitable, but many of the methods pursued today are not effective.
@@DaniWalker MUO will never be the same without Paula S. Sadly, with all the controversy the organization is facing right now it has somehow lost its "sparkle", that "Disney Magic" of a feeling. I am optimistic that social media will inevitably work its power to correct this trajectory. Thanks for replying Dani.
@@DaniWalker Hot Tea! MUO initially posted Jonas Gaffud (former Creative Director for MUPH) as the NEW National Director of MUPh and deleted him afterwards. Haha
@@uromgee01 I heard he was the new national director. I didn’t know if it’s rumor or true
@@DaniWalker Looks legit. Shamcey removed that title from her instagram. Point is, who is running MUOs social media to have lousy errors like this? First was the Miss America crowning, now this.. Haha
Wait… what’s the first problem with the reel??
Yeah, I would’ve appreciated a bit more clarity on that as I don’t want to give the OG video a view. I’m guessing it’s overs*xualized?
@@frostyskeletons8950The original video is on Instagram where views don't matter and it's from the venue that is hosting the pageant, not the pageant itself. It is NOT overs*xualized, nothing out out of the norm for pageants so not sure what the 1st problem with it is.
@@frostyskeletons8950 youre wrong. the miss usa promo reel used Miss America footage. We all know that these pageants are rival in the US
@@lbee8158 That's the second problem that Dani mentioned. But there was something else, too.
i can't tell why the promo video was so controversial, but it's ROUGH 💀 nobody interacting with the winner in the footage, the ugly fonts, and the wrong footage is just crazy
Rough is right 👀
Dani the pic you showed of the reigning US Virgin Island is actually the reigning British Virgin Island.
The last time US Virgin Islandd entered Miss Universe was in 2016...which sucks considering it's a US territory and they're US. Citizens and have resources available ($$$$$$$$)
But with that said....to have the contestants flip the bill is so unethical and the organization should always deliver on their prizes for their title holders and if they dont...there should be consequences.
People forget that Leadership is about people and good leaders aren't above getting criticized. The people running Miss USA and MUO really need to fig out what the purpose of the organization really is and plan accordingly.
At present it seems like they're intentionally destroying the organization.
It's just unfortunate that people like yourself Dani who actually care, aren't hired into these organizations to help to lead it or run it.
Thank you Dani for being an advocate for women in pageantry!! ❤
🫶🏼
Dani, You have always wanted to see the organization succeed and the young ladies complete in an inclusive and positive environment. They should just appoint you to oversee everything.
Waiting for Miss South Africa crown chaser reviews
I'm so embarrassed for this! WHAT A JOKE!!!! The leaked video should've changed everything. AI - bwahahahaa! Nice attempt! Dani, you are AMAZING!!!! Thank you!
🙏🏽 Thank you!
Also, that was a picture of Miss British Virgin Islands- don’t know if that’s whom you were referring to about the Jeep.
MU is past its Glory Days. Perhaps it’s time to just discontinue them. Miss Universe’s heydays were in the 70s and 80s. After that they seemed to be fake and quite trashy.
I just found out that the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA organization announced that Ricardo Patraca, a Mexican crown maker is going to make new crowns. He made the Miss Charm crown and he did a new crown for Miss Supranational 2022, the last winner to wear it was Andrea Aguilera, but apparently they brought back the George Wittels crown.
Note: I don't like the crowns Mr. Patraca, they look look tacky in my they look tacky and cheaply made.
Guess what country started the reality show first? MALAYSIA!!!
About 12 years ago Miss Universe Malaysia started the Road to Miss Universe Malaysia reality show during pageant week, thanks to Andrea Fonseca the ND at that time. ❤
I dont know how they joined a person like osmel if they really cares about inclusion and all
When it was announced that osmel will be part of MU team i felt shameful being the greatest supporter of pageants
You were talking about US Virgin Islands but showed a picture of Miss British Virgin Islands. They are two different events with two different organizations.
Kun Anne does't have class. She made Miss U Org messy
That’s a dude with a penis and a baritone voice. 😂😂😂
Raúl owner from México he is a business man runs many companies but how about beauty pagents well we will SEE.
The Miss Universe Organization right after what’s been transpired is just downright DISASTROUS!
The leadership (especially Kuhn Anne) is desecrating the aura and the legacy of this Institution of Pageantry and what Paula said on that resignation speech is absolutely on the nose, Greed & Ego is infesting within and Anne is the Personification Of THAT!
Sorry but AI cannot duplicate the voice of Ann Theycutoffmytip. It’s just way too annoying. That leaked video is real!
😂😂
Anne’s ownership is the worst thing that happened to the whole Pageantry world.
I think I found the 2nd thing wrong with the promo video. Is it that Miss USA 1957, Leona Gage was dethroned because she was married. Now that married women can compete, was she suddenly un-dethroned?
Can someone outbid that man owning MUO? He clearly doesn’t know how to handle the organization. He is the worst owner in MUO history.
I can’t wait for the day until you’re legally able to share everything you know with us. Additionally I can’t wait for the day when miss gorl Laylerrr gets the boot. The beaming smile across your face on the thumbnail …. Laylah Rose “resigns” …. I can see it now 😂
Hey Dani, talking about crisis in other countries, do you know what is going on with Mexico's peagent?! I dont even understand all the changes they're doing while they're getting ready to host this year
I really appreciate when Dani is always up for different teas☕️ Always here to support! Binibining Pilipinas 2024 recap, perhaps reaction, would be a great content❤
Miss Universe, as long as it is not own by an American business, person, it will never be the same. Miss Universe was created by America.
It is fitting to abandon Miss Universe now. Miss world, Miss international and Miss earth are way better.
khun anne was such a big joke in muo..so many dramas and intrigues
Am I the only one who can pinpoint 2nd mishap in their promo video?? I keep watching but am lost!
Share it😮
THE NEW THAI OWNER , IS NOT RESPECTED . . .. WISH THAT PAULA IS BACK. . . . . .NEW OWNER WILL DESTROY THE ORGANIZATION
Do cover Miss universe thailand
Yes Dani, sad to hear the integrity of MUO has degraded bec of changed management...culprit: Anne Halo de Universe!!!!
This is going to be a bumpy road for miss universe ahhhh 😱😱😱😱😱🫣🫣🫣🫣
I love trump era and the one before him. The most objective times in beauty competition.
Was there ever a new Miss teen USA put in place??
@@WrapFiqah nope, still vacant.
u nailed it early and now.................
What video was leaked?!!!
This one...th-cam.com/video/BeSlMcW9pCc/w-d-xo.html
I lost my trust and belief to MU since JKN. I will just focus my support to Miss Earth. very now. Very relevant. Real advocacy and not pure business.
Can we petition for you to be the director already. Someone who knows the system and can bring some glamour and prestige back. Like I will take chi, Chinese laundry, Sherri hill, and opi at this point. Real sponsors pleaseeee.
Dani can you do a vid of your top favorites of Miss Universe Mexico 2024♥️
You should do a video about the videos of the ex-national director from Mexico! It’s wild
I think Miss Universe Philippines also has a new national director.
We listen to Danniiii❤❤❤
Hi Dani, hope you make a recap for Bb. Pilipinas 2024 coronation❤
Mexico’s long term director lost the license right before the past miss universe.
Then the new director stepped down in May 2024 and then the NEW NEW director stepped down July 2024
@@Marco18189 that’s a whoooole other story 🙈
Look like if there are any reps from Mexico and Nicaragua for this year, they are going to be appointments, probably the runner up from the last national competition, as it seems there are no franchise holders for them.
So that is 3rd national director who stepped down?
@@PungiFungiMexico already has 33 girls today is the sash ceremony and the competition is a bloodbath because there is so much past national title holders
Ms Universe for Ms Universe not Mrs
How about ND of the Philippines? Is she resign?
i think jonas is now the ceo/president but shamcey is now the national director.
waitingggg for BB. PILIPINAS review😊
