80 young ladies from all around our planet are currently in Manila competing for
one of the most prestigious beauty titles in the world, Miss Earth. The 12th
Miss Earth will be crowned on Saturday, November 24 at the Versailles Palace
close to Manila. The winner will succeed Ecuador's Olga Alava who won the 2011
Miss Earth title in Manila last year.
The Philippines, once again, proved to be an amazing host country and warm hospitality of the gracious hosts ensured that an amazing time was had by all the delegates. This year, the organizers (Carousel Productions) added a new element to the run-up to the finals. The delegates would get points as they took part in several activities. Medals and sub-titles were also awarded. All the scores were displayed on the official group scoresheets on www.missearth.tv! Although this seemed like a clear imitation of the Miss World leaderboard system, it was fun and I'm sure the delegates loved being awarded. The organizers should try and decrease the number of sub-titles and mini-competitions as they became just too hard to keep track off. It was a great idea and could be improved in the future - 25 sub-titles are just way too many.
The overall quality of this year's contestants is quite high. This is one of the better years for Miss Earth. There are actually about 30 ladies who could do really well. I just hope that the judges choose wisely. The trend that has been happening in the major pageant this year so far, home victories, will destroy all the crediblity that Miss Earth has got left. So, here's hoping for fair results and may the best (and most gorgeous and truly deserving) Earth Warrior win.

Mexico is always one to watch in pageants. However, this
year I am really disappointed in this country’s representative. Last year they
should have won. This year they should not place.
Miss Moldova is definitely beautiful enough to place. The
biggest problem I have with her is that she doesn’t have that special quality
that makes her stand out in a crowd. She has also not been consistent at all
times. A top 16 placement could be her best bet.
Battsetseg is absolutely gorgeous. I find her beauty
mesmerizing and I think she should be at least a top 16 finalist. The Asian
girls are competing strongly though so I fear that if her personality does not
shine through, she will be left clapping. That would be a real shame.
Nagma gave it her all and I can’t find her on the way she
competed. Many fans around the world have taken notice of her and she has a
loyal fan base rooting for her. I think the competition is a bit too strong
this year and there are others that I like more.
Shauny has an angelic and serene beauty that captivates
you. Her gorgeous face and gentle but alluring eyes make her stand out in a crowd.
She reminds me of last year’s delegate from the Czech Republic who was the
hottest favorite for the title but missed the cut. I think Shauny could do very
well. A top 8 placement or even more is not unlikely.
Gloria was my favorite for the Miss World NZ title but at
this pageant she did not look her best. I think her styling made her look more
mature so I was a bit disappointed. She has a great body though and did quite
well in the challenges. This is a very competitive year so I doubt that she’ll
place.
Of all the Central American delegates, I think Braxis is
the most beautiful and the most pageant ready. I am not sure if everyone and,
especially the judges, will agree. If any of the Central Americans place, I’d
like it to be her.
Ciara actually performed better than I expected. She
looked well-groomed and I think she should place around the middle of the pack.
I think one or perhaps two of the other UK girls might do better than her.
Pakistan rarely gets much attention and sadly this year
is no exception. I think the competition is just way too strong.

Nina is extremely sexy and that made her stand out. But
that is also my biggest problem with her. Her apparent sex appeal might be too
much for the Miss Earth judges. She also has a large tattoo just above her
waist and that usually does not work in a beauty pageant. I think that could
really hurt her. If the judges are open-minded then she might get lucky and be
one of the top 16.
