NGKUR: Miss Universe

[LadyNymeria]

Did anyone else watch last night? I typically don't, but I decided I didn't really care about the Pro Bowl game and there wasn't anything else on I wanted to watch.

I feel like Miss Jamaica was completely robbed. Miss Columbia was great, but I thought Miss Jamaica was basically perfect. She seemed like a really fun, bright, caring person who would have rocked the roll of Miss Universe. I really thought she'd win and was really surprised by 4th runner up.

I, too, was rooting for Miss Jamaica. Miss Columbia and USA were my next favorites. Miss Jamaica, was seriously rocking it the whole night. I was dumbfounded.

I'm a not-so-secret pageant addict (may or may not have done them in the past), and I agree completely. I loved Miss Jamaica and was really rooting for her. I feel like the women from Latin American countries always have a "sash factor" that gives them the edge, even when they aren't quite as deserving.

I was really happy to see Miss USA do so well though.

I thought she was flawless. Maybe not the best answer to the Facebook question, but it wasn't bad. And certainly not an answer to be penalized for. I was hoping she'd say something about how Jamaicans embody peace, love and respect and how the rest of the world could learn from that (this comment is not mean to be a generalization and is based on personal experience with my uncle - my aunt married someone from Jamaica and he lives his whole life based on peace, love and respect).

I didn't watch but I thought Brazil and Australia had pretty costumes.

Ugh. I'm so bummed I missed this. One of my favorite things to do is order chinese, drink a bottle of wine, and watch pageants.

My FB Feed is filled with "Jamaica was robbed!!" posts today, so you guys aren't alone...

I didn't get to watch..
I'm just glad to know that Miss USA didn't decide to do something crazy (like wear a Transformers costume in representation of what the USA is all about).. That seriously bugged me last year.

It was a toss up between watching Miss Universe or the Screen Actors Guild awards last night. I picked the SAG awards, which was a poor choice because they were boring. I should have taped the pageant but I didn't think about it.

I am so glad I'm not alone in thinking Miss Jamaica should have won. That woman is drop dead gorgeous! And she seemed really genuine and sweet.

That was last night?! Poo. I don't love pageants, but I always like the costumes they do repping their countries. I'll have to find a gallery later!

More than one person on FB complained that Miss Jamaica should've gotten it, so I suppose the feeling is pretty common!

I didn't turn it on until MH went to sleep since no way was he going to watch with me - so I missed the country costumes too. I really need to look them up because they're awesome.

I didn't watch... I never watch these things. All I knew was I was hoping it wouldn't be Miss Lebanon simply because of the way she reacted to the whole selfie situation with Miss Israel. So much for being diplomatic.

Catching up on costumes -- I love Miss Angola's, South Africa's, & Norway's costumes!
